4. First Battle
The Colossal Titan returns at Trost and the newly graduated cadets are sent straight into the fighting.
In the year 850 the Colossal Titan appears once more, this time above the gate of Trost, and vanishes as soon as the passage has been kicked open. Eren arrives too late to strike it and the district fills with Titans.
The cadets are deployed as a rearguard to keep the civilians’ escape route open. Above the rooftops Eren brings down his first targets, but the units become scattered and the first of his classmates are killed.
This chapter appears in volume 1, released on March 17, 2010. In the anime it is adapted in S01E05 — First Battle: The Struggle for Trost, Part 1.
