Opening animation
The title card is displayed as the camera's viewpoint descends from the sky, through masses of grey clouds and smoke.

Several scenes depicting wartimes are quickly shown. A deserted base and watchtower stand idle as a large explosion is set off in the distance. A naval fleet is seen next under heavy bombardment. A row of Marleyan soldiers, presumably from the mainland, all fire explosive shells from mortars.

For a split second, a structure resembling a large spine can be seen erupting from a crimson, fleshy background.

More explosives are set off in the background as the previous scenes begin to repeat - soldiers fire more shells from their mortars, the naval fleet is obliterated, and the military base from earlier is consumed by the oncoming blast. A soldier, armed with a flamethrower, begins incinerating the remains of a demolished structure. Scenes of large explosions continue to play.

The camera then pans down from the sky, revealing thirteen birds diving down with colorful strands trailing from their bodies. The gray, occluded sky is shown as colorful smoke begins creeping in from the sides.

Rows of armed Marleyan soldiers begin marching down the streets of Marley, with faces tilted towards the camera. A zeppelin hovers through the sky as twelve birds fly alongside it.

Scenes are then rapidly presented in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it fashion. A statue of a Titan falls from the sky, shattering upon hitting the ground. Several other statues begin exploding or crumbling - some of which resemble Marleyan soldiers or members of the Scout Regiment armed with Thunder Spears and ODM gear. Shots of birds and zeppelins can all be seen being vaporized in a similar fashion.

More statues of Titans are seen falling from the sky, heads aimed towards the ground as the world circles around them.

A large explosion appears from the distance, violently upheaving the earth around it. In the following shots, debris flies from pillows of smoke and fire. As previous scenes from the opening repeat, trees can be seen recoiling from the explosion's shockwaves. Rubble strikes the residential buildings of Liberio, destroying a spotlight tower in the process. A Wall collapses and a castle-like building disintegrates from the blast.

Rain pours down from the skies, with the gray clouds now muddled with faint colors from the smoke. Drops from the rain hit a pool of water, creating intermittent ripples. The air takes on a colorful mist as the camera zooms in on an unmoving hand, raindrops landing in its still-open palm. The camera zooms out to reveal the aftermath of the destruction - the hand lies among a vast pile of bodies, wreckage, and broken pieces of ODM gear.

The final shot sees the Attack Titan with his hand reached outwards, leading a charge of Titans from the top of a hill. The opening immediately turns to black and ends after a close-up of the Attack Titan's face.

Trivia

 * This is the first opening in the series to not feature any major human characters.
 * The "Rastis!" lyrics at the end of the song were initially interpreted by many listeners to be the word "monster".
