->'''Commander Erwin Smith:''' I just want to visit that basement... Everything I have done, I did in anticipation of this day. That someday I would be able to check my answers. There were so many times I thought it would be easier to simply die. But then... The dream me and my father shared would flash through my head. And now... Those answers are so close I could reach out and grab them with my own hands... They are right there. But, Levi... Can you see them? ''(visions of all fallen Survey Corps members appear around Erwin and Levi)'' Our comrades are watching us. They want to know what became of the hearts they dedicated to our cause. They may be gone, but their fight isn't over yet. Is it all nothing more than my own childish delusion?
->'''Captain Levi:''' You've fought well. We were only able to get this far thanks to you. I'm making the choice. Give up on your dreams and die for us. I will take down the Beast Titan.
''(Erwin resigns himself to his fate with a smile)''

->"On the other side of the wall, is the ocean. And on the other side of the ocean, is freedom. We believed that for so long... [[ManlyTears But it's not true]]. What's waiting for us on the other side of the ocean is the enemy. Everything is as I saw it in my father's memories... right? So if we kill the enemy, the one waiting for us on the other side, will we... ''finally'' be free?"

->'''Reiner Braun:''' ''Eren. It's over. You've lost. We've all suffered enough. You've suffered enough. We're all fated to die in a few years either way. It doesn't matter how much we struggle against it. Everyone dies. What's left for you... If you keep on living?! Eren... I'll end it all for you... Give up already... Just... Sleep.''
->'''Eren Jaeger:''' ''(KubrickStare, siezes Reiner by the mouth and begins to crush his skull)'' '''[[DoNotGoGentle AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!]]'''

->"And just like that, everything changed. At that terrible moment, in our hearts, we knew. Home was a pen. Humanity, cattle."

->[[AC:"Hear Me, All Subjects of Ymir. My Name is Eren Jaeger. I Now Speak to Every Eldian of The Earth by Way of The Founding Titan's Power. The Foundations of All The Walls Present on Paradis Island Have Come Undone. And All Titans Entrapped Within Them Have Begun to March. My Objective... is to Protect The People of Paradis, The Land Where I Was Born. However, The World Wishes For The Annihilation of The People of Paradis.

The Titans of The Walls Shall Tread Every Land Beyond This Island Underfoot. Until All Life Existing There... Has Been Eliminated From This World."]]

->''"On your feet, dad. You're not done yet. In case you've forgotten, you have your own reasons for coming. You had a little sister 'till that man fed her to his dogs. Think... of your slaughtered comrades. Of Kruger. Of Dina. Avenge them. '''Keep moving forward.''' Even if you die. Even '''after''' you die. And after all, this whole ugly story... started with '''you'''.''

-->-- '''Zeke Yeager''''s FamousLastWords.

->We used hate, raised hate, believed hate to be our savior. We left all the problems we created on the "island of devils" and as a result, [[TheDogBitesBack the devil was born to return the hate we gave it]]. If I were given another chance...I swear not to make the same mistakes again.

->"It's almost as if you're saying you're any different from me. Just what exactly is different between you lot and me... [[ForGreatJustice Saving the world...]] Is there a sweeter set of words that charms people more than those? ...Giving yourselves over to that exciting sentiment of saving hundreds of millions of lives, washing all the ill will down your throats like it never existed... That's what you look like in my eyes right now. Let's take a little trip down memory lane shall we? [[TheAtoner Reiner Braun]], by breaching Wall Maria, how many Eldians do you suppose were devoured by Pure Titans? Slipping into their world, sharing joys and sorrows with your 'comrades' here. You betrayed them. You murderered them. And now you pretend to be a comrade once more. [[BloodKnight Annie Leonhart]]. you slaughtered the Survey Corps in droves, you trampled the residents of Stohess in even greater numbers. Ah, of course you Paridisians were all extremely heroic against Marley too. [[HeWhoFightsMonsters Armin]], such a quiet and reasonable young man, yet you levelled the military port using the power you stole from Bertholdt Hoover. Civilian and soldier alike, just how tall of a mountain of corpses did you raise alongside your military exploits? And though I know nothing of your [ [[MauveShirt Connie's]] ] valour in Liberio. I'm sure you magnificently annihilated the soldiers of Marley, who greatly outnumbered you and dyed Liberio the colour of blood. Especially [[KnightInSourArmor Jean...]] In order to slay the Cart Titan you aimed at Falco and dauntlessly fired your thunderspear. Because the spear barely missed, Falco is still here. Then Sasha was shot by the little girl there, Gabi. I was saddened, Sahsa was a good and noble person. But it surely can't compare to [[CycleOfRevenge the sadness and hatred of those who knew her like family.]]"

->'''Eren Jaeger:''' ''I can't stop the Rumbling. I can't gamble Paradis' future. I'm going to keep moving forwards. I took the world's freedom... to achieve my own. But I won't steal yours. You are free. Your freedom to save the world... my freedom to keep moving forward... if neither steps down... we would collide... there is only... the option... to fight.''
->'''Armin Arlert:''' [[LittleNo No...]] so... why? Why did you bring us here?
->'''Eren:''' ''To tell you... that there is no need to talk. If you want to stop me...then try to stop me from ever taking another breath. You are all free to do so...''

->"Eren, I'm asking you one more question you're not going to like. What about you is free? And you can answer me once we drag you out of there."

'''Eren:''' I'll just keep moving forward.\\

->'''Lord Willy Tybur:''' WE MAY BELONG TO DIFFERENT NATIONS AND RACES!! BUT I ASK ANY OF YOU WHO DO NOT WISH TO DIE TO LEND ME YOUR STRENGTH!! PLEASE... I WANT TO ENSURE OUR FUTURE TOGETHER!! I WANT YOU TO FIGHT WITH ME!! AGAINST THE DEVILS ON PARADIS!!
->'''Eren Jaeger:''' Stand up, Reiner. I... get it now ''(offers him his cut hand)''
->'''Reiner Braun:''' ... Eren. ''(takes his hand)''
->'''Tybur:''' IT IS TRUE. WE STILL FACE MANY ISSUES THAT KEEP THE MILITARIES OF THE WORLD FROM JOINING HANDS. BUT I BELIEVE WE CAN UNIFY IN THE FACE OF THIS POWERFUL ENEMY.
->'''Eren:''' I was right. I'm... the same as you.
->'''Tybur:''' WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO OVERCOME ANYTHING IF ONLY WE CAN WORK AS ONE!! AS AMBASSADOR FOR THE MARLEYAN GOVERNMENT, I, WILLY TYBUR...!!
->'''Eren:''' ''(shaking Reiner's hand)'' I think... we were born this way.
->'''Reiner:''' ... Huh?
->'''Tybur:''' ... WISH FOR WORLD PEACE!!
->'''Eren:''' [[IronicEcho I just keep moving forward. Until my enemies are destroyed.]] ''(activates the Power of the Titans under a building packed to the brim with civilians)''
->'''Tybur:''' TO THE ENEMY FORCES OF PARADIS ISLAND! THIS, IS A DECLARATION OF WAR!

->'''Eren:''' ''To tell you... that there is no need to talk. The only way to stop me... is by ending my life. You are free to do so...''

-->'''Commander Erwin Smith:''' I will now announce our final operation! All soldiers, line up! All units will now perform a mounted charge! Our objective is to rush the Beast Titan! Obviously, this will make us a perfect target for the enemy! We will observe and take into account the target's throws, then, we will all fire signal flares simultaneously! We'll do everything we can to reduce the accuracy of his attacks to whatever extent possible! While we act as a diversion, Captain Levi will take down the Beast Titan! That is all!
-->'''Nameless Soldier:''' ''(falls to her knees and voids her stomach's contents)''
-->'''Erwin:''' Standing around here simply means waiting for rocks to come raining down on us! Now hurry up and get ready!
-->'''Floch Forrester:''' ''(Terrified out of his mind)'' Are we... about... to die?
-->'''Erwin:''' That's right.
-->'''Floch:''' So you're saying... if we're going to die anyway, we might as well die fighting?
-->'''Erwin:''' That's right.
-->'''Floch:''' No... if we're going to die anyway... we can die however we want... we could even die while disobeying orders... There's no meaning to any of it, is there...?
-->'''Erwin:''' That's absolutely right. It is all utterly meaningless. No matter what dreams or hopes you may have, no matter what kind of blissful life you've lived until now... what happens to your body when it gets shredded by a rock... is the same. ''All'' men die sooner or later. Does that mean all life is meaningless? Was there no purpose to any of us ever being born? And if so, would you say the same of our dead comrades? Were all of their lives... meaningless? [[SuddenlyShouting NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT!]] IT IS UP TO ''US'' TO GIVE MEANING TO OUR COMRADES' DEATHS! THOSE BRAVE FALLEN MEN AND WOMEN! THOSE POOR FALLEN MEN AND WOMEN! THE ONLY ONES WHO ARE CAPABLE OF PAYING RESPECT TO THEM, ARE ''WE'', ''THE LIVING''! WE ''TOO'' SHALL ''ALL DIE HERE TODAY'', AND ENTRUST THOSE NEXT IN LINE WITH THE SAME DUTY OF GIVING MEANING TO ''US''! THAT IS THE SOLE WAY WE CAN OPPOSE THIS CRUEL WORLD! '''RAGE, MY SOLDIERS! SCREAM, MY SOLDIERS! ''FIGHT'', MY SOLDIERS!!!'''

->"Eren, I'll ask you one more time. What part of you is free after I rip you out from there?"
