Charge (Episode)

"Advance! Eren is just ahead! Advance!"

- Erwin urges his Scouts to proceed

Charge (突撃) is the 11th episode of the 2nd season and the 36th episode overall of the Attack on Titan anime, produced by Wit Studio and Production I.G.

Overview
After hearing Ymir's motives, Historia agrees to stay by her side. The pursuing soldiers close in on the Armored Titan and corner Bertholdt, who refuses to give up Eren. Erwin leads a hellish charge against the warriors in which he is injured, though Eren is rescued. Reiner refuses to let him escape and begins throwing Titans into the retreating formation. When Eren and Mikasa are dismounted in the chaos, they come across the Titan that ate Eren's mother five years ago.

Special Titan Powers
''Among the Titans, there are those with special powers. The tense, high temperature steam of the Colossal Titan and the hardened skin of the Armored Titan are prime examples. It remains unknown how they possess such abilities.''

Trivia

 * When Erwin cuts the straps holding Eren off of Bertholdt, a piece of Reiner's finger is shown being cut off as well despite blades being shown as not capable of cutting through his armor. A few moments later when Reiner is reaching for the escaped Eren, all of his fingers are still intact as they were in the manga (where it had merely been knocked aside).
