Volume 1
After letting down his team in a dodge ball tournament during their last year of elementary school, Armin remained home for a long time; he told his grandfather to not let anyone see him and stayed locked up in his room.

Eventually, the entire class notices Armin has yet to show up for school. Hearing that a mandatory dodge ball tournament will be held the following day, both Eren and Mikasa arrive to his house to convince him to come to school. Armin steadfastly refuses to and does not believe Eren's claims of honesty, believing it to be part of a prank. Mikasa convinces him to let them inside and they find Armin wrapped up in a futon. He again refuses to and recalls the events from the previous dodge ball game he was part of. However, he then changes his mind and agrees to go to school the next day and take part.
