Story

Clash of the Titans arc

Mr. Springer is one of the Titans that were created by the Beast Titan at the start of Wall Rose's Titan invasion.^[1]

Shortly after the residents of Ragako were turned into Titans, Mr. Springer's Titan began to wander the southeastern towns of Wall Rose in search of food. It comes across a newly settled village where it enters into a home housing a small girl and her mother, who could not evacuate due to her bad legs. Overpowering the mother, Mr. Springer's Titan begins eating away at her leg while the daughter sits by traumatized for some time until Sasha Braus, assisting in Wall Rose's evacuation, attempts to kill the Titan. However, her efforts with a common chopping axe prove ineffective, and she is left with no choice but to take the girl and escape.^[2]

Mr. Springer's Titan pursues Sasha and the girl outside of the village, where Sasha confronts the Titan while telling the girl to run for help. Using a bow and arrow, Sasha attempts to blind the Titan's eyes. She succeeds in piercing one, though she doubts her aim when she is left with one arrow. Taking a risk, Sasha discards the bow and stabs the Titan's eye with the last arrow, using the blood from the woman's leg to escape Mr. Springer's grasp when she lands against its body.^[2]

It is unknown what Mr. Springer's Titan did after being blinded by Sasha, though it would eventually be killed by the Scout Regiment at some point during the week before Wall Rose was declared Titan-free.^[1]

People killed

Trivia

While no direct link is made in the manga or anime between Mr. Springer and the 3-meter Titan encountered by Sasha Braus, Attack on Titan Season 2 production designs first identify this Titan as "Conny's father" (コニーの父 Konī no chichi^?).^{[citation needed]}
