Lots of action, but also lots of words in The Attack of the Giants. For soldiers destined to die, for people who just want a little peace, words are essential to find hope, courage, or simply a reason to act. What are the five most beautiful speeches from The Attack of the Giants prepared by Hajime Isayama?
Let’s start with a speech from Levi, the predecessor of one of The Attack of the Giants’ most painful deaths. the In the forest, the captain warns Eren that he must bear the weight of his decisionswhatever the result is. Nobody has the right answer and therefore it is the protagonist who has to choose in complete autonomy. A cold shower for the boy, who in later situations found himself stunned, fearful and therefore powerless in the face of the fate of his former guardians.
Then there is one of the most recent speeches on the list, from Eren to Reiner in Liberio’s basement. After years in which the protagonist of The Attack of the Giants has persistently sought the extermination of the giants while Reiner lives with his feelings of guilt, the speech of the owner of the attack giant seems to tip the situation aside as everything that has happened. “I’m just like you“is a sentence that touches Reiner deeply, who no longer knows how to behave.
Then we come to one of the most important speeches in the series, maybe the one worst recruitment speech in history, but in this case one of the most special. Erwin Smith stood on a stage in the twilight, in front of the few young soldiers who had survived the invasion of the Wall Rose. He immediately warned them that most would die and in the end only the bravest remained, the protagonists of The Attack of the Giants who became part of the reconnaissance army.
Let’s get back to Eren and focus on a very brief phase in the anime’s fourth season. Back at home, inside the walls, he is now in his cell, but in front of the mirror he continues to talk to himself. He does not give up, victory is necessary in order to live. “Tatakae, tatakae“lovers of the original language of The Attack of the Giants would say, two words that we see repeated until the end of the manga.
And let’s go back to the commander of the army, that Erwin Smith, who heroically threw himself to his death with all the other soldiers. How did he convince you? With a speech devoted more to posterity than to them, which culminated in one Frontal attack on the giant animal where they burned all their courage and fear.
