Smoke Signal (Chapter)

Stupid Enough to Believe is the 53rd chapter of Shingeki no Kyojin manga written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama.

Overview
With an imperfect Titan form of Eren falling to the ground, Mikasa and Hange are forced to remove Eren's body from the Titan by force. A day later, after Eren wakes up, not remembering anything, he is told about the results of the experiment, finding out that he has shown no signs of the hardening ability and even lost his intelligence after mysteriously recalling about his father. After Levi describes their situation to be quite bleak and Hange suggests to focus on the Wallists, Eren suddenly witnesses an image of a girl, not knowing her identity or where the memories of her come from.

In the capital city, Mitras, Erwin rides a carriage along with Nile, when the former questions the later about Pastor Nick's murder, much to the shock of the Military Police Brigade's Commander. It is revealed that the interior Military Police is not directly under the Brigade's command. The two then recall their past as they talk about Nile's wife, Marie, and eventually Erwin's decision to choose Titans over her. Meanwhile, the Levi's Squad recieves their orders from Erwin and they eventually reach the Trost District. After Levi is confronted by several villagers, Eren and Historia end up being kidnapped. However, it is revealed that the two kidnapped are disguised Armin and Jean, with Mikasa and Levi already being at the location, with the latter ready for action with his foot injury getting better.
