Assault (Episode)

Assault (強襲) is the 7th episode of the 4th season and the 66th episode overall of the Attack on Titan anime, produced by.

Summary
Pieck arrives in time to drive the Scout Regiment away from Porco Galliard, using gunfire from her Panzer Unit. Meanwhile, Lara Tybur uses the power of her War Hammer Titan to impale Eren Jaeger as he holds the hardened crystal she is using to protect herself. Though Eren manages to block the attack against his neck by hardening the arm of his Attack Titan, the rest of his body is lifted into the air in a tree of hardened Titan flesh. The Warriors and the Scouts regroup as the Beast Titan arrives.

A short distance away, Falco Grice climbs out from between the hands of the Armored Titan, having survived the building collapsing on him and Reiner Braun. He witnesses the battle between the Warriors and the Scouts and on spotting Eren, he remembers the deception Eren had pulled over him and how he arrived in his current circumstances.

Falco climbs back between the Armored Titan's fingers to apologize to an unconscious and unresponsive Reiner. Confused, since Reiner should have healed with the Power of the Titans, Falco realizes that Reiner's will to live is no longer that strong and it is impacting his regenerative abilities. He asks Reiner to wait and tries to reassure him that he has friends around him and not just enemies.

As the battle continues, Eren tries biting into Lara's crystal only to break the teeth of his Attack Titan. He recognizes the hardening as similar to Annie Leonhart's and that he will not be able to break it himself, but he also realizes that Lara must be exhausted or she would be able to finish her attempt to stab him through the nape. Eren concludes that she must be out of options, but he is not. He abandons his current Attack Titan's body and jumps down to create a new one.

Galliard despairs that Eren still has enough fight in him to create another Titan body, but Pieck assures him that the Warriors are the ones currently controlling the battlefield because their opponents are limited in weapons and fuel, having arrived using omni-directional mobility gear without a supply line. Marley should have the area surrounded by now, cutting off any escape. Galliard is still worried with the Founding Titan being present, but Pieck tells him to focus on protecting the Beast Titan from Levi Ackermann.

While looking for help, Falco runs into Theo Magath and lets him know about Reiner. Before he can bring Magath to him, Gabi Braun catches up with the two.

Out in the harbor, Armin Arlelt transforms into the Colossal Titan, destroying the Marleyan fleet that is trying to land. Seeing the stolen Titan put into action, the Warriors realize the Scout Regiment did not come unprepared. This spurs Galliard into a charge towards Eren, and the Scouts attack Pieck and Zeke while they are separated from him.

Zeke falls suddenly from an attack to the nape from Levi, landing in front of Magath, Falco, and Gabi. Levi lands on the Beast Titan's head, ready to ignite an explosive, and Magath pushes down the two kids to cover them.

Meanwhile, Pieck and the Panzer Unit struggle against the Scouts and one of the Cart Titan's machine guns is silenced when Sasha Braus shoots Carlo in the head. Pieck tries to avenge him, but Jean Kirschtein leaps over the lip of the roof and manages to fire a Thunder Spear into her Titan's eye. He then directs the rest of the squad around her to attack.

They follow up with a barrage of Thunder Spears, killing the remainder of the Panzer Unit. Pieck scrambles out of the carnage and falls over the edge of the roof, crashing down in front of Magath, Falco, and Gabi. Jean swoops down to finish her, but Falco runs in between shouting for him not to shoot. He is clearly bothered by the interference, but decides to fire regardless. His Thunder Spear goes wide, and Jean is uncertain whether it was because of the steam from the damaged Titan or his own conscience.

Pieck emerges from her Titan, badly wounded, and tells Falco to run away. The Scouts attempt to use this moment to finish her, but Magath rallies the soldiers around him to protect her. He sends Gabi to help Falco and the two of them carry Pieck to cover.

Out at the port, Armin looks at the destruction around him, including the human casualties, and wonders if this is what Bertholdt Hoover once saw. He exits his Titan and lifts the handle of his ODM gear to grapple to a point above him.

Seeing that both Pieck and Zeke are down, Galliard attacks Eren in a rage, biting off the Attack Titan's arm and swiping at its nape. Eren blocks the second attack using Lara's crystal, and to his surprise, the Jaw Titan's claws scratch it.

Inside a building, Pieck's regeneration goes slowly and Gabi asks about Reiner, who is still underground behind the stage. Falco, knowing what Reiner has gone through, suggests leaving him out of the fight, which Gabi does not understand, given how many people Eren has killed, including their friends Udo and Zofia.

Above Liberio, an airship follows the guide lights set up by the Scouts. In the cockpit, Hange Zoë plans to pick up their soldiers, but they have only one shot. Any stragglers are out of luck. Hange finds the plan reckless and asks Armin if he was possessed by Erwin Smith.

Spotting the airship, Galliard tries to attack their method of escape, but Mikasa Ackermann catches him and slices off the legs of his Titan, leaving him stunned in front of Eren. Eren further batters his Titan, ripping off its arms before jamming Lara's crystal into the Jaw Titan's mouth. He then lifts the Jaw Titan over the Attack Titan's head and uses its jaws to crush the crystal. The resulting blood and spinal fluid flows into the Attack Titan's mouth.

Realizing that Galliard will be eaten next, Gabi begins screaming for Reiner to help. Barely conscious, Reiner can hear her and Falco, but wishes they would stop calling for him. Still, he wakes up and his transformation into a partially formed Armored Titan is enough to stop Eren's attempt to devour Galliard.

New ODM Gear
