Chapter 49: Charge

The Titans lured by Erwin swarm the Armored Titan, while Ymir fights them. Erwin orders a charge and loses an arm when a Titan seizes him, yet keeps leading the attack, and Jean saves Mikasa. Armin goads Bertolt by claiming Annie is being tortured, and Erwin exploits the distraction to free Eren; Historia is rescued as well. During the escape, Reiner hurls Titans at the soldiers, and Eren and Mikasa end up in front of the Smiling Titan.
