Армин
Pt1.
- (omitted)
Armin: I met Eren when I was receiving treatment from his father. I was weak and often got bullied and injured, so I often had to see the doctor. At first, we just hang out together because we had no friends. It was thanks to my Grandpa’s book that we became friends.
- We have received a question which says “How do you behave with Eren typically, because Jean has mentioned that he finds your attachment with Eren disgusting.”
Armin: Ah…That is…really mean, to say that it’s disgusting. I think the problem lies with how Jean sees things.
- What do you mean?
Armin: After I joined the training corps, I often perform my 3DMG check with Marco and sat by Reiner during mealtimes. I guess it’s because Jean is always looking at Mikasa, that he tends to notice us together.
- Do you have a girl you like?
Armin: …I think that having someone you think of as important, can be a strength, and can also be a weakness. I have many times…witnessed people losing their senses, and failing to make sound decisions, after losing someone important to them.
- I see.
Armin: There are also people who are forced into a dilemma because of such special feelings. I think that those feelings are often made use of.
- I guess you can think of it that way.
Armin: That is why, if I have someone I like, I won’t say it. It will become a weakness of mine… just kidding.
- …I feel that I’ve seen a scary smile just now… Now, for the next question, “Have you and Eren or Mikasa ever fought?”
Armin: I have never fought with Eren or Mikasa before. However, there were once when I got thrown by Mikasa, who was trying to stop the fight, together with Eren, since I was stubbornly still fighting with the bullies.
- (omitted)
Armin: I have studied with Eren and Mikasa before. But since Mikasa remembers everything after studying once, there’s no point for her to join in. Instead, we often studied together at the boys’ dorm.
- (omitted)
Armin: I think lectures and exams are hard.
Pt2.
- What is your impression on Jean?
Armin: I think that Jean, when he was a trainee, has potential, but his effort is fruitless. But that has changed now. Jean has a bad guy face, but it seems like he acknowledges me, so gradually, he became someone I could trust
- (omitted)
Armin: Really? I carry out my 3DMG check with him frequently, and we get along well. He treats everyone with consideration…just that, our opinions regarding the government never agreed.
- Can I ask more about it?
Armin: Marco respects and believed in the government. He never doubted them. I noticed that the government policies are full of contradictions, so when we talk about that…but, it’s always Marco who’d give in. He would listen to my lengthy speculations with a troubled face, but he still listened to the end.
- He’s really kind.
Armin: Yes. I’m sure that…he is too kind in this cruel world.
- (omitted)
Armin: When Annie told me I was weak, but has guts, I just thought that even though she appears to be cold and friendless, she still takes a good look at people around her. Perhaps she spotted me when I was late to practice and stubbornly refuses help from other people.
- Have you ever won in hand to hand? Did you win against Krista?
Armin: Hah…do I look this weak…I might not be good, but I managed to pass.
- Here we have some pretty strange questions like “Have you ever been mistaken for a girl?”, and “Have you ever been told you’re like a girl?”
Armin: Ehh…That is hard to answer. It would be a lie…if I were to say no…
- Here’s another question asking “How do you feel if someone calls you cute”?
Armin: Well…I don’t feel good even if I got called cute.
- Any particular thoughts about it?
Armin: For example, if I looked like a girl…and it would help to accomplish a mission…I think, I would make use of it.
- That’s cool.
Armin: Of course I hate it, but for example, in a decoy mission…it would be much safer than using a real girl. But I don’t think such tactics is needed to fight against titans.
- Titans eat irregardless of your genders, I guess.
Armin: But…our enemies, might not be just the titans…
- What do you mean?
Armin: It’s nothing but pure speculations…just that, I can’t say that humanity are always united…
- You mean such a situation where humans have to lie to each other might arise?
Armin: If I’m able to help when that happens…I will want to make use of whatever I can.
- (omitted)
Armin: Among my classmates, only Reiner, Bertholdt and Marco are great opponents at chess. Once Eren or Jean gets heated up, their thoughts become simple, and it’s easy to read their moves.
- Is there any of your body parts you like?
Armin: That sounds like a question you ask a girl…rather, I wish I was tougher and had more stamina.
- (omitted)
Armin: The first thing I want to see is the sea.

Саммари (скриншоты)
Ханджи
Powerful. There are times when the passionate researcher Hanji doesn’t take a bath for several days. We’ve received concerned voices asking, “Don’t Captain Levi and Commander Erwin get angry?
Hanji: Ah… but you see, the sample is right in front of me, I can’t just go take a bath! Everyone… did say something I think, but stopped eventually.
It’s long, so the rest is snipped under here:
So, is this not like they’ve already given up on you?
Hanji: Probably! Mike and Erwin say nothing about it. Ah, but Levi…
Did he say anything about it?
Hanji: Uhh… from time to time I black out from getting hit, then when I become conscious again I would get splashed at and somehow… it’s like having a bath.
It is… done by force, isn’t it?
Hanji: That, perhaps, is more like cleaning than having a bath! I think he planned it all out with my subordinates, but because I lost consciousness I can’t be sure.
Everybody’s names have been mentioned, so we would like to hear about your interpersonal relationships. We’ve got a question that asks, “What impression do you have” of firstly Commander Erwin, then Captain Levi, Squad Leader Mike and Deputy Leader Moblit.
Hanji: Right… I’ve known Erwin and Levi for a long time. Erwin actively supports my research, so he’s helped me a lot. According to what he has said, I think he also holds some kind of doubt towards the structure of this world.
What about Captain Levi and Squad Leader Mike?
Hanji: Levi you see, is bad at talking and a clean freak so everyone gets disillusioned, but he’s a good guy who thinks about his comrades. He has a rough attitude, but he listens to my research results and has the composure to only think about it. Isn’t he’s a good superior officer?
Hanji: (cut off) …Yeah, it’s a strange attitude to people he meets for the first time, but the position of Squad Leader is justified.
What impression do you have of Deputy Leader Moblit, who is also an adjutant?
Hanji: Moblit? He’s an outstanding adjutant! His sketches used for research are good too. But, the fly in the ointment is that he always comes to stop me when I’m getting to the good part.
Doesn’t he do that because he is worried for you? Among the questions we got, some of them such as, “Aren’t you worrying him too much?” and “Please let him rest once in a while” showed concern for him.
We have received many questions about your interpersonal relationships, such as, “Do you have any friends and acquaintances?” and “Who do you get along with?”
Hanji: Friends and acquaintances huh… Like I’ve said before, I adjust my daily life cycle to the Corps’ movements.
Your schedule is filled with research and duties, I see. In between all that, is there anyone you often talk to?
Hanji: Ah, it depends on the plan or formation but… I’m often stationed close to Levi’s squad, so I think we do talk a lot.
You have mentioned that you’ve known each other for a long time.
Hanji: Levi’s rough with his words, so it sounds like he’s angry, right? But he doesn’t truly feel that way, so there are times I help to explain that to everyone in his squad. Interpretation, people have called it.
Other than Levi, who else do you get along with?
Hanji: When I see the veteran soldiers who enlisted around the same time as me… if they’re still alive, that is… I would talk to them a lot. Also my subordinates.
I see. There are also many questions like, “Can you see with goggles?” and “How good is your eyesight without glasses?” about your glasses or goggles.
Hanji: Without glasses I can still see the face of the person in front of me, but it’s inconvenient during battles or research, I guess. Glasses can easily fall off, so I don’t use them on missions. There are skillful soldiers who can operate 3DMG with glasses, you know, but I’m not very good at it.
We also have a question about your glasses and goggles that goes, “They seem expensive, how many spares do you have?”
Hanji: I keep one or two pairs on hand, if they’re both broken I claim them with the Survey Corps’ expenses.
You put them down to expenses!
Hanji: But they’re necessities, so it’s a required expense! I don’t do things like Levi who claims expenses for the black tea he favors, you know?
That black tea… is paid for with expenses.
Hanji: Yes, glasses and black tea, they’re all supplies for the whole Survey Corps. It’s because our lifestyle is guaranteed like this that there’s no shortage of youngsters who aspire to be soldiers.
You’re certainly right about that. Another question we have is, “Do you do housework?”
Hanji: Like cooking, or cleaning? Hmm, I’ve done it before, on duty.
Trainee soldiers cook their own meals, and on expeditions cooking for yourself is also a must.
Hanji: Well, for me right now, as a Squad Leader, I leave most of it to my subordinates I guess.
We also have the question “What’s your type?” Excluding titans, that is.
Hanji: Ahh… everyone sure likes that kind of topic. I don’t think about it much, but let’s see, someone who is fine even if I can’t pay attention to them, I guess.
You respect freedom.
Hanji: Mm-hmm, for me right now, I’m interested in… mainly titans, and also the structure of the world and so on… way too many things. So, even if I had someone like that, I probably can’t spend much time together with them.
So someone who can accept your behavior and let you be free is ideal, isn’t it.
Hanji: That’s how it turns out. I don’t think such a convenient person exists though.
Do you chat with people like Deputy Leader Moblit?
Hanji: Moblit says things a mother would say. Like, did you eat properly? Or, did you sleep well? And his every word is really funny.
For example?
Hanji: Once, during an experiment I think, he said to me, Do you really want to live!? Pretty much the only one who says such interesting things to me is Moblit!
I see. Then, I’m going to change the topic a bit and introduce an unconventional question. “Please tell us about the time you recently got angry.”
Hanji: Angry? Me? What a strange question.
I’ve been told you’re the scariest when you get angry.
Hanji: That’s not true! Erwin and Levi have way scarier faces! Well… now that I think about it…
Did something come to mind?
Hanji: It’s not recent, but. Long ago, I got into an argument with a Military Police officer who made fun of the Survey Corps… He said such terrible things, I couldn’t take it anymore, and grabbed the scruff of his neck and threw him on the floor… almost.
That’s scary!
Hanji: Haha… It’s the folly of youth. Since Erwin and the others quickly intervened, it didn’t become an issue. Other than that… when I get mad, I kick and wreck tables and chairs… but doesn’t everyone do that?
Uh, I wonder about that… You give a calm impression, but there is something on fire hidden inside you.
Hanji: I’m always on fire! It’s for the sake of unraveling the mysteries of this world!
If mankind were finally liberated from the titans, what would they do?
Hanji: Mankind would rule. But I would like to research vegetation outside the walls, or study about humanity’s past.

Микаса
She sits upright in a chair as I visit her at the barracks of the Scouting Legion.
She gives a small nod when she notices me, but our eyes never meet.
She is Mikasa Ackerman, an unprecedented talent in humanity’s history.
"Nice to meet you", I say. She answers "Ok," and the interview begins.
Q: Are you nervous?
Mikasa: …a little bit.
Q: I heard you’re not normally good at conversations…
Mikasa: …I will answer any questions asked.
Q: Then I shall accept your advice and begin right away.
Q: Mikasa, you graduated at the top of your class. You could have joined the Military Police, but why did you choose the Scouting Legion?
Mikasa: Because…Eren chose the Scouting Legion.
Q: Eren Yeager, the one from the same class and hometown as yourself. Did he ask you to do this?
Mikasa: No. That was my own decision.
Q: Yeager wanted to enter the Scouting Legion ever since he joined the training corps. You didn’t try to stop him?
Mikasa: You mean…why didn’t I try to convince him to join the other Military Units?
Q: Yes. Because he’s your ‘family,’ so I thought you would recommend the safer routes.
Mikasa: …Now that you mention it, I did…when we were younger, I was against joining the Scouting Legion.
Q: And why did that change?
Mikasa: Because Eren didn’t change his mind. And…
Q: And?
Mikasa: Auntie…Eren’s mother said that we have to help each other.
Q: You spent your childhood with Eren.
How were your days with the Yeagers?
Mikasa: …Ah, we often fought with the other kids in town.
Q: I’m surprised that there were kids who wanted to fight you.
Mikasa: Eren provoked them, and they bullied Armin…
Q: So you were the mediator.
Mikasa: I beat them up…and tossed Eren around.
Q: Eh…you tossed him?
Mikasa: Yes.
Q: I thought you were the mediator?
Mikasa: …? Other than tosses and punches, are there other ways to stop people who don’t listen?
Q: Ah, you’re right.
Mikasa: But…I failed once.
Q: How?
Mikasa: I threw him too hard…and he ended up in the river.
Q: He fell into the river?!
Mikasa: It was only once. Armin noticed the river and tried to stop me, but I threw him into it, too.
And then they both caught colds…I have reflected on my actions.
Q: That was a horrible thing you did.
Mikasa: After that…I made sure no water was around whenever I tossed Eren.
No fire, either…burns are worse than colds, after all.
Q: You’re right…do you remember anything else other than fights?
Like Armin Arlert, whom you just mentioned. He’s a childhood friend, too, right?
Mikasa: Eren and Armin…often talk about the outside world.
Armin would bring along his grandfather’s book…
Q: About the world beyond the walls?
Mikasa: Their eyes always shone brightly whenever they talked about venturing outside…I liked watching them as they spoke.
Q: Let’s talk about your much younger childhood. What kind of kid do you think you were?
Mikasa: I was raised in the mountains and we grew vegetables for a living. I…was a sheltered child.
Q: Sounds like you had a happy and normal family.
Mikasa: It was different from living in a town. There were no kids near my house.
Q: You must’ve been precious to your parents.
Mikasa: …Yes. At that time, my world was small…my father and mother were everything.
Q: Were you strong at that time, too? Like you are now?
Mikasa: No…I took care of the fields…
Q: That’s a totally different image from your current self.
Then, can I ask you about the incident that made you an orphan…
Mikasa: ……
Q: You don’t need to answer that.
In the records, Eren and you fought the robbers together.
Mikasa: Eren came to the place I was taken to.
Q: So he came to save you.
Mikasa: At first, I didn’t know who he was…
Q: You guys never met, yet he came to your rescue?
Mikasa: Yes. He was prepared to throw away his life…I was shocked.
Q: So you guys didn’t fight together?
Mikasa: I was ready to give up. But then, Eren was about to get killed by one of the robbers.
Q: Did he ask for help?
Mikasa: No…he said “Fight. If you don’t fight, you can’t win…”
Q: That’s some amazing mental strength. Did anything change from that incident?
Mikasa: I can’t explain properly, but…I felt like, I could actually control my body.
Q: The feeling that you could control every single nerve?
Mikasa: I was able to move as I wished. And before I realized it, I had defeated the robber.
Q: I guess that was when…your talents surfaced.
Mikasa: I didn’t really understand, but…ever since then, there was nothing I couldn’t do.
Q: Thanks to Eren, your life changed.
Mikasa: I died once, and it was Eren who gave me strength.
This time, I will be the one to protect him.
Q: So you joined the training corps after that. What were your impressions of your classmates?
Mikasa: I don’t really remember…
Q: …I’m sure you had plenty of chances to team up with your classmates who also had good results.
What do you think of Jean Kirschstein?
Mikasa: Ah. Jean…he fought with Eren often.
Q: If I’m not wrong, Jean graduated with nearly the same results as Eren.
Mikasa: His results were good, but he clashed with Eren a lot, so…
Q: I see…please also allow me to ask you about your other classmates.
——-
In the first half, Mikasa Ackerman talked about her experiences before joining the Scouting Legion and her childhood.
We also asked her about her impressions of her classmates.
In the latter half, we inquire about her Survey Corps comrades, daily life, and thoughts on her future.
Q: What about the rest? Like Reiner Braun, who was ranked second after you.
Mikasa: Reiner…and Marco, too…they’re both reliable and trustworthy.
They can lead, which is something I cannot do.
Q: You’re rather humble.
Mikasa: It’s the truth.
Q: And you’re the type to showcase your strength rather than straightout flaunt anything.
Mikasa: I just want to protect Eren well…I don’t wish to become like them.
Q: What about the others? I heard you might have some fun stories with Sasha Braus.
Mikasa: ……?
Q: Something like…there was a loud noise at night, and when the instructor showed up…
Mikasa: Like the time she farted? I thought what I said was appropriate, considering the moment.
Q: I-I see. Then, have the girls in your class ever met up in secret for something…like a girl talk?
Mikasa: Girl talk?
Q: Yes, the sharing of secrets whenever you girls gather together.
Mikasa: Like…secret battle strategies?
Q: Uh, nothing related to combat. More about romance and such.
Mikasa: Oh…like who is nicer, who likes who…that kind of topic. I think we’ve had those, yah.
Q: You’re not interested in that kind of thing?
Mikasa: They told me that my answer is always the same, so they don’t invite me often.
Q: Ah, yes, I can imagine. Let’s change up the topic to your daily routine. What do you do when you take a break from combat training?
Mikasa: 100 sets of abdominal and back muscle exercises, and then I inspect my 3DMG…
Q: I meant outside of your voluntary workouts…
Mikasa: Sewing clothes, cooking, going to the market with Eren and Armin.
Q: That seems pretty standard. What’s your best dish?
Mikasa: I grew up in the mountains…so a pheasant and vegetables dish. On break days I’ll occasionally cook recipes that mom or aunt Kalura (Carla) taught me, and then eat it with Eren and others.
Q: Eren must love having a taste of home.
Mikasa: Ah…I hope so.
Q: Then again, during puberty perhaps quantity is more important than quality?
Mikasa: Even if that’s the case…he’ll still eat whatever.
Q: When you go shopping, what kind of clothes do you like?
Mikasa: Pretty similar to the others…
Q: And you always wear that scarf?
Mikasa: I wash this scarf every once in a while, but there are days I don’t wear it.
(T/N: See during Chapter 52’s meal)
Q: You seem to care for it very much.
Mikasa: After I wash it with warm water, it becomes very soft.
Q: So having it washed must relax you. What do you do with the other cadets during holidays?
Mikasa: Usually we still have things to do even during rest periods. A day passes by quickly…but, when I was a trainee, I also did some different things.
Q: Such as?
Mikasa: The farm close to us occasionally harvests sweet potatoes and would distribute some to us…we would roast them and enjoy them.
Q: Sounds like a reward in faith.
Mikasa: Sasha is very good at finding the best sweet potatoes…Jean and Ymir were also invited, too. Connie nearly got burnt.
Q: That seems like a lovely memory. How are your days in the Scouting Legion? Any changes?
Mikasa: Nothing much has changed. Just training a lot before the expedition.
Q: You’re talking about the 57th expedition and the attempt to capture the Female Titan, right?
Mikasa: That time…
Q: What happened?
Mikasa: I made a mistake…and the most important soldier of all became injured…
Q: You’re talking about when Captain Levi got hurt?
Mikasa: Back then…Eren was taken, and I felt lost…it was my error.
Q: As someone who has strength that rivals the captain’s, it’s surprising that you admit to a mistake like that. Were you scared out of your mind?
Mikasa: I wanted to focus on retrieving Eren, but…
Q: You thought you could do it on your own.
Mikasa: …I was conceited.
Q: You’ve grown up.
Mikasa: I’m far from perfect…and it’s vexing.
Q: That was a good opportunity to reevaluate yourself.
Mikasa: …I won’t repeat the same mistake.
Q: What about the others in the Scouting Legion? Like Squad Leader Hanji Zoe?
Mikasa: I feel like…that person…is not a bad person.
Q: Just a pretty weird person…
Mikasa: She experiments on Eren…I know we have no choice, but I still feel uneasy.
Q: Well, she is pretty hyped up over it.
Mikasa: I understand that she just wants to solve the mysteries behind the titans…but I have to make sure she doesn’t overdo it.
Q: Then, in terms of that. I wonder, for you…
Mikasa: I will protect Eren.
Q: Of course.
Mikasa: No matter who wants to take him away…I’ll guard him to the end.
Q: So have you considered what you will do in the future?
Mikasa: The future?
Q: Any big dreams or life goals?
Mikasa: Like…when Eren will venture outside of the walls?
Q: Yes, do you have that kind of dream?
Mikasa: I don’t really, but…
Q: But?
Mikasa: If Eren and Armin go forth, I think I’ll go as well. To the outside world.
Q: That’s a great dream. I pray that the wish where humanity wins will come true.
Q: Finally, what do you want to say to all the citizens who pin their hope on you?
Mikasa: I understand your judgments and needs, so I wish to live up to your expectations if I can.
Q: Very reliable.
Mikasa: Eren will…should become everyone’s hope… yes, please believe me.
Q: Thank you!
After the interview, Mikasa departs quickly, with the gift from her family member Eren wrapped around her face.
I told her “It fits you.”
"Yes, thank you…"
There’s only that response. Her vaguely flushed face seems to have retreated behind the scarf.
From that demonstration of shyness, it appears that she is a 15-year-old young woman after all.

Жан (неполное!)
The tumultuous youthfulness of a young man with the face of a grown-up.
While he kept remnants of puberty in his physiognomy, as a soldier, Jean Kirstein gave the feeling of being a steady, young boy.
The interview begins by announcing him. He salutes according to the formalities, then, clearly embarrassed, he turns away.
Jean- It’s not like someone told me to. I decided on my own to join the Survey Corps.
It’s nice to meet you.
- I know it can’t be helped, but I guess you can’t avoid thinking about this.
Jean: After the attack, I ended up thinking about who might die next… At that time—I thought that if I had been there, maybe I could have saved them.
[A second part of the interview is planned as well!! Jean is overwhelmed by a storm of questions!?]
- The reason behind “Now, what should be done?” comes from Marco’s words, right?
Jean : … That, and I also felt like I didn’t know how to vent about my regrets and responsibilities. Although, I was in a different squad… If Marco had been with me, I wonder if he would still be alive.
- That’s because he knew you well, right?
Jean: That’s right. When we were about to graduate, for him to say something like “You’re not a strong person, Jean” shows that very well. There were many things… We went through a lot.
- However, Marco’s wish was to join the Military Police as well, right? What are the details on what made his death the reason why you joined the survey corps?
Jean: Marco—said that I was someone who knew “what should be done”. At first, I didn’t pay much attention to these words, but—after the assault on Trost, I understood what he meant. At last, I could see what had to be done. As if I felt like I could try and entrust my fate to the late Marco.
- On the other hand, what are the things that you had to work on?
Jean: There were—many. When I was a trainee, I was absolutely confident that I was excellent. If I think about it now, I was nothing but a brat back then… If I failed even by a little, I would be disheartened right away. During those moments, the one that would stand beside me was Marco.
- What was it that he said to you?
Jean: He was just there, silent. So, yes, even if I wouldn’t stop complaining, he would remain calm…
- For instance?
Jean: I always wanted to get good points during training, I would be in a bad mood whenever I got injured. But Marco would remain like this no matter who he was facing.
- Did your choice of words adapt to the situation?
Jean: No, not really. I was always making fun of him for being an honor student, and yet, Marco—he would just laugh. Really… I wonder why he kept company with someone like me back then, when I was only thinking of myself, and no one else…
- He wouldn’t quarrel with you?
Jean: Well, first of all, that guy got rarely offended… But… he was a good guy to begin with. Way too good. Even though he could always see through everything, he was trying to avoid conflict. He possessed a kind heart, and he was considerate to his friends… He was that kind of person.
- What kind of relationship did you two have?
Jean: Whatever it was, we often hung out together. Our grades were pretty close, so being together during training also became a frequent occurence…
- Well, on the documents I have here, it says that the circumstances behind your decision to join the Survey Corps was the death of Marco Bodt, who fell during battle. Do you feel like you told us enough about him?
Jean: Yeah… I knew you would ask me about him.

...I'll repeat this once again. What do you want to ask?
A summary (from twitter)
- She was unable to become foolishly honest like her fellow trainees, went with the flow of the system in the society, and joined the Military Police. She just wants to save herself.
- Her job (as MP) is mainly tasks like arranging documents. The Garrison usually deal with the place (crime scenes, maybe?)
- She’s not friendly with the new soldiers (MP) even though she work with them. “They joined the MP because they prioritized themselves above the others, so it’s pointless to look forward to making friends and comrades.”
- When asked about the evaluation (listed on the documents) about her solidarity nature, she replied that she cooperated properly whenever necessary during training.
- When asked about Eren, she replied that even when she said she’s a weak fragile girl, he will still charge over, and so she had no choice but to fight him. That’s because she knows how to control it. (あしらい方は知っているから—not sure what this is referring to. The fighting techniques or her strength, maybe?)
The above panels (from twitter too)
Q: Let’s talk about your relationship with others. We have received many questions asking about your relationship with your fellow trainees…
…Especially those who are ranked close to you.
Annie: Ah…They joined the SL…?
Q: Yes. All of them have been doing well.
Annie: I see…So they are doing well.
Q: We have received many questions about Armin and Bertholdt. What are your impressions of them?
Annie: Armin…he lacks strength so is often a hindrance, but he doesn’t complain or ask for help…he has will-power.
Q: What about Bertholdt?
Annie: …I don’t have much impression of him?
Q: According to rumors, I heard he is interested in you, and he’s often sitting beside you during meals…
Annie: Yes. But I don’t have much impression of him.
Q: But you really don’t have any impression of him?
Annie: His results are good, and we often end up in the same team during training. But that’s pretty normal, so I never thought much about it.
Q; …This is getting pathetic. Let’s move on to the next question. Is there anyone else among the fellow trainees, other than the ones I named, that you were friendly with?
Annie: Not really…everyone is the same.

Pt1.
- (omitted)
Armin: I met Eren when I was receiving treatment from his father. I was weak and often got bullied and injured, so I often had to see the doctor. At first, we just hang out together because we had no friends. It was thanks to my Grandpa’s book that we became friends.
- We have received a question which says “How do you behave with Eren typically, because Jean has mentioned that he finds your attachment with Eren disgusting.”
Armin: Ah…That is…really mean, to say that it’s disgusting. I think the problem lies with how Jean sees things.
- What do you mean?
Armin: After I joined the training corps, I often perform my 3DMG check with Marco and sat by Reiner during mealtimes. I guess it’s because Jean is always looking at Mikasa, that he tends to notice us together.
- Do you have a girl you like?
Armin: …I think that having someone you think of as important, can be a strength, and can also be a weakness. I have many times…witnessed people losing their senses, and failing to make sound decisions, after losing someone important to them.
- I see.
Armin: There are also people who are forced into a dilemma because of such special feelings. I think that those feelings are often made use of.
- I guess you can think of it that way.
Armin: That is why, if I have someone I like, I won’t say it. It will become a weakness of mine… just kidding.
- …I feel that I’ve seen a scary smile just now… Now, for the next question, “Have you and Eren or Mikasa ever fought?”
Armin: I have never fought with Eren or Mikasa before. However, there were once when I got thrown by Mikasa, who was trying to stop the fight, together with Eren, since I was stubbornly still fighting with the bullies.
- (omitted)
Armin: I have studied with Eren and Mikasa before. But since Mikasa remembers everything after studying once, there’s no point for her to join in. Instead, we often studied together at the boys’ dorm.
- (omitted)
Armin: I think lectures and exams are hard.
Pt2.
- What is your impression on Jean?
Armin: I think that Jean, when he was a trainee, has potential, but his effort is fruitless. But that has changed now. Jean has a bad guy face, but it seems like he acknowledges me, so gradually, he became someone I could trust
- (omitted)
Armin: Really? I carry out my 3DMG check with him frequently, and we get along well. He treats everyone with consideration…just that, our opinions regarding the government never agreed.
- Can I ask more about it?
Armin: Marco respects and believed in the government. He never doubted them. I noticed that the government policies are full of contradictions, so when we talk about that…but, it’s always Marco who’d give in. He would listen to my lengthy speculations with a troubled face, but he still listened to the end.
- He’s really kind.
Armin: Yes. I’m sure that…he is too kind in this cruel world.
- (omitted)
Armin: When Annie told me I was weak, but has guts, I just thought that even though she appears to be cold and friendless, she still takes a good look at people around her. Perhaps she spotted me when I was late to practice and stubbornly refuses help from other people.
- Have you ever won in hand to hand? Did you win against Krista?
Armin: Hah…do I look this weak…I might not be good, but I managed to pass.
- Here we have some pretty strange questions like “Have you ever been mistaken for a girl?”, and “Have you ever been told you’re like a girl?”
Armin: Ehh…That is hard to answer. It would be a lie…if I were to say no…
- Here’s another question asking “How do you feel if someone calls you cute”?
Armin: Well…I don’t feel good even if I got called cute.
- Any particular thoughts about it?
Armin: For example, if I looked like a girl…and it would help to accomplish a mission…I think, I would make use of it.
- That’s cool.
Armin: Of course I hate it, but for example, in a decoy mission…it would be much safer than using a real girl. But I don’t think such tactics is needed to fight against titans.
- Titans eat irregardless of your genders, I guess.
Armin: But…our enemies, might not be just the titans…
- What do you mean?
Armin: It’s nothing but pure speculations…just that, I can’t say that humanity are always united…
- You mean such a situation where humans have to lie to each other might arise?
Armin: If I’m able to help when that happens…I will want to make use of whatever I can.
- (omitted)
Armin: Among my classmates, only Reiner, Bertholdt and Marco are great opponents at chess. Once Eren or Jean gets heated up, their thoughts become simple, and it’s easy to read their moves.
- Is there any of your body parts you like?
Armin: That sounds like a question you ask a girl…rather, I wish I was tougher and had more stamina.
- (omitted)
Armin: The first thing I want to see is the sea.

Ханджи
Powerful. There are times when the passionate researcher Hanji doesn’t take a bath for several days. We’ve received concerned voices asking, “Don’t Captain Levi and Commander Erwin get angry?
Hanji: Ah… but you see, the sample is right in front of me, I can’t just go take a bath! Everyone… did say something I think, but stopped eventually.
It’s long, so the rest is snipped under here:
So, is this not like they’ve already given up on you?
Hanji: Probably! Mike and Erwin say nothing about it. Ah, but Levi…
Did he say anything about it?
Hanji: Uhh… from time to time I black out from getting hit, then when I become conscious again I would get splashed at and somehow… it’s like having a bath.
It is… done by force, isn’t it?
Hanji: That, perhaps, is more like cleaning than having a bath! I think he planned it all out with my subordinates, but because I lost consciousness I can’t be sure.
Everybody’s names have been mentioned, so we would like to hear about your interpersonal relationships. We’ve got a question that asks, “What impression do you have” of firstly Commander Erwin, then Captain Levi, Squad Leader Mike and Deputy Leader Moblit.
Hanji: Right… I’ve known Erwin and Levi for a long time. Erwin actively supports my research, so he’s helped me a lot. According to what he has said, I think he also holds some kind of doubt towards the structure of this world.
What about Captain Levi and Squad Leader Mike?
Hanji: Levi you see, is bad at talking and a clean freak so everyone gets disillusioned, but he’s a good guy who thinks about his comrades. He has a rough attitude, but he listens to my research results and has the composure to only think about it. Isn’t he’s a good superior officer?
Hanji: (cut off) …Yeah, it’s a strange attitude to people he meets for the first time, but the position of Squad Leader is justified.
What impression do you have of Deputy Leader Moblit, who is also an adjutant?
Hanji: Moblit? He’s an outstanding adjutant! His sketches used for research are good too. But, the fly in the ointment is that he always comes to stop me when I’m getting to the good part.
Doesn’t he do that because he is worried for you? Among the questions we got, some of them such as, “Aren’t you worrying him too much?” and “Please let him rest once in a while” showed concern for him.
We have received many questions about your interpersonal relationships, such as, “Do you have any friends and acquaintances?” and “Who do you get along with?”
Hanji: Friends and acquaintances huh… Like I’ve said before, I adjust my daily life cycle to the Corps’ movements.
Your schedule is filled with research and duties, I see. In between all that, is there anyone you often talk to?
Hanji: Ah, it depends on the plan or formation but… I’m often stationed close to Levi’s squad, so I think we do talk a lot.
You have mentioned that you’ve known each other for a long time.
Hanji: Levi’s rough with his words, so it sounds like he’s angry, right? But he doesn’t truly feel that way, so there are times I help to explain that to everyone in his squad. Interpretation, people have called it.
Other than Levi, who else do you get along with?
Hanji: When I see the veteran soldiers who enlisted around the same time as me… if they’re still alive, that is… I would talk to them a lot. Also my subordinates.
I see. There are also many questions like, “Can you see with goggles?” and “How good is your eyesight without glasses?” about your glasses or goggles.
Hanji: Without glasses I can still see the face of the person in front of me, but it’s inconvenient during battles or research, I guess. Glasses can easily fall off, so I don’t use them on missions. There are skillful soldiers who can operate 3DMG with glasses, you know, but I’m not very good at it.
We also have a question about your glasses and goggles that goes, “They seem expensive, how many spares do you have?”
Hanji: I keep one or two pairs on hand, if they’re both broken I claim them with the Survey Corps’ expenses.
You put them down to expenses!
Hanji: But they’re necessities, so it’s a required expense! I don’t do things like Levi who claims expenses for the black tea he favors, you know?
That black tea… is paid for with expenses.
Hanji: Yes, glasses and black tea, they’re all supplies for the whole Survey Corps. It’s because our lifestyle is guaranteed like this that there’s no shortage of youngsters who aspire to be soldiers.
You’re certainly right about that. Another question we have is, “Do you do housework?”
Hanji: Like cooking, or cleaning? Hmm, I’ve done it before, on duty.
Trainee soldiers cook their own meals, and on expeditions cooking for yourself is also a must.
Hanji: Well, for me right now, as a Squad Leader, I leave most of it to my subordinates I guess.
We also have the question “What’s your type?” Excluding titans, that is.
Hanji: Ahh… everyone sure likes that kind of topic. I don’t think about it much, but let’s see, someone who is fine even if I can’t pay attention to them, I guess.
You respect freedom.
Hanji: Mm-hmm, for me right now, I’m interested in… mainly titans, and also the structure of the world and so on… way too many things. So, even if I had someone like that, I probably can’t spend much time together with them.
So someone who can accept your behavior and let you be free is ideal, isn’t it.
Hanji: That’s how it turns out. I don’t think such a convenient person exists though.
Do you chat with people like Deputy Leader Moblit?
Hanji: Moblit says things a mother would say. Like, did you eat properly? Or, did you sleep well? And his every word is really funny.
For example?
Hanji: Once, during an experiment I think, he said to me, Do you really want to live!? Pretty much the only one who says such interesting things to me is Moblit!
I see. Then, I’m going to change the topic a bit and introduce an unconventional question. “Please tell us about the time you recently got angry.”
Hanji: Angry? Me? What a strange question.
I’ve been told you’re the scariest when you get angry.
Hanji: That’s not true! Erwin and Levi have way scarier faces! Well… now that I think about it…
Did something come to mind?
Hanji: It’s not recent, but. Long ago, I got into an argument with a Military Police officer who made fun of the Survey Corps… He said such terrible things, I couldn’t take it anymore, and grabbed the scruff of his neck and threw him on the floor… almost.
That’s scary!
Hanji: Haha… It’s the folly of youth. Since Erwin and the others quickly intervened, it didn’t become an issue. Other than that… when I get mad, I kick and wreck tables and chairs… but doesn’t everyone do that?
Uh, I wonder about that… You give a calm impression, but there is something on fire hidden inside you.
Hanji: I’m always on fire! It’s for the sake of unraveling the mysteries of this world!
If mankind were finally liberated from the titans, what would they do?
Hanji: Mankind would rule. But I would like to research vegetation outside the walls, or study about humanity’s past.

Микаса
She sits upright in a chair as I visit her at the barracks of the Scouting Legion.
She gives a small nod when she notices me, but our eyes never meet.
She is Mikasa Ackerman, an unprecedented talent in humanity’s history.
"Nice to meet you", I say. She answers "Ok," and the interview begins.
Q: Are you nervous?
Mikasa: …a little bit.
Q: I heard you’re not normally good at conversations…
Mikasa: …I will answer any questions asked.
Q: Then I shall accept your advice and begin right away.
Q: Mikasa, you graduated at the top of your class. You could have joined the Military Police, but why did you choose the Scouting Legion?
Mikasa: Because…Eren chose the Scouting Legion.
Q: Eren Yeager, the one from the same class and hometown as yourself. Did he ask you to do this?
Mikasa: No. That was my own decision.
Q: Yeager wanted to enter the Scouting Legion ever since he joined the training corps. You didn’t try to stop him?
Mikasa: You mean…why didn’t I try to convince him to join the other Military Units?
Q: Yes. Because he’s your ‘family,’ so I thought you would recommend the safer routes.
Mikasa: …Now that you mention it, I did…when we were younger, I was against joining the Scouting Legion.
Q: And why did that change?
Mikasa: Because Eren didn’t change his mind. And…
Q: And?
Mikasa: Auntie…Eren’s mother said that we have to help each other.
Q: You spent your childhood with Eren.
How were your days with the Yeagers?
Mikasa: …Ah, we often fought with the other kids in town.
Q: I’m surprised that there were kids who wanted to fight you.
Mikasa: Eren provoked them, and they bullied Armin…
Q: So you were the mediator.
Mikasa: I beat them up…and tossed Eren around.
Q: Eh…you tossed him?
Mikasa: Yes.
Q: I thought you were the mediator?
Mikasa: …? Other than tosses and punches, are there other ways to stop people who don’t listen?
Q: Ah, you’re right.
Mikasa: But…I failed once.
Q: How?
Mikasa: I threw him too hard…and he ended up in the river.
Q: He fell into the river?!
Mikasa: It was only once. Armin noticed the river and tried to stop me, but I threw him into it, too.
And then they both caught colds…I have reflected on my actions.
Q: That was a horrible thing you did.
Mikasa: After that…I made sure no water was around whenever I tossed Eren.
No fire, either…burns are worse than colds, after all.
Q: You’re right…do you remember anything else other than fights?
Like Armin Arlert, whom you just mentioned. He’s a childhood friend, too, right?
Mikasa: Eren and Armin…often talk about the outside world.
Armin would bring along his grandfather’s book…
Q: About the world beyond the walls?
Mikasa: Their eyes always shone brightly whenever they talked about venturing outside…I liked watching them as they spoke.
Q: Let’s talk about your much younger childhood. What kind of kid do you think you were?
Mikasa: I was raised in the mountains and we grew vegetables for a living. I…was a sheltered child.
Q: Sounds like you had a happy and normal family.
Mikasa: It was different from living in a town. There were no kids near my house.
Q: You must’ve been precious to your parents.
Mikasa: …Yes. At that time, my world was small…my father and mother were everything.
Q: Were you strong at that time, too? Like you are now?
Mikasa: No…I took care of the fields…
Q: That’s a totally different image from your current self.
Then, can I ask you about the incident that made you an orphan…
Mikasa: ……
Q: You don’t need to answer that.
In the records, Eren and you fought the robbers together.
Mikasa: Eren came to the place I was taken to.
Q: So he came to save you.
Mikasa: At first, I didn’t know who he was…
Q: You guys never met, yet he came to your rescue?
Mikasa: Yes. He was prepared to throw away his life…I was shocked.
Q: So you guys didn’t fight together?
Mikasa: I was ready to give up. But then, Eren was about to get killed by one of the robbers.
Q: Did he ask for help?
Mikasa: No…he said “Fight. If you don’t fight, you can’t win…”
Q: That’s some amazing mental strength. Did anything change from that incident?
Mikasa: I can’t explain properly, but…I felt like, I could actually control my body.
Q: The feeling that you could control every single nerve?
Mikasa: I was able to move as I wished. And before I realized it, I had defeated the robber.
Q: I guess that was when…your talents surfaced.
Mikasa: I didn’t really understand, but…ever since then, there was nothing I couldn’t do.
Q: Thanks to Eren, your life changed.
Mikasa: I died once, and it was Eren who gave me strength.
This time, I will be the one to protect him.
Q: So you joined the training corps after that. What were your impressions of your classmates?
Mikasa: I don’t really remember…
Q: …I’m sure you had plenty of chances to team up with your classmates who also had good results.
What do you think of Jean Kirschstein?
Mikasa: Ah. Jean…he fought with Eren often.
Q: If I’m not wrong, Jean graduated with nearly the same results as Eren.
Mikasa: His results were good, but he clashed with Eren a lot, so…
Q: I see…please also allow me to ask you about your other classmates.
——-
In the first half, Mikasa Ackerman talked about her experiences before joining the Scouting Legion and her childhood.
We also asked her about her impressions of her classmates.
In the latter half, we inquire about her Survey Corps comrades, daily life, and thoughts on her future.
Q: What about the rest? Like Reiner Braun, who was ranked second after you.
Mikasa: Reiner…and Marco, too…they’re both reliable and trustworthy.
They can lead, which is something I cannot do.
Q: You’re rather humble.
Mikasa: It’s the truth.
Q: And you’re the type to showcase your strength rather than straightout flaunt anything.
Mikasa: I just want to protect Eren well…I don’t wish to become like them.
Q: What about the others? I heard you might have some fun stories with Sasha Braus.
Mikasa: ……?
Q: Something like…there was a loud noise at night, and when the instructor showed up…
Mikasa: Like the time she farted? I thought what I said was appropriate, considering the moment.
Q: I-I see. Then, have the girls in your class ever met up in secret for something…like a girl talk?
Mikasa: Girl talk?
Q: Yes, the sharing of secrets whenever you girls gather together.
Mikasa: Like…secret battle strategies?
Q: Uh, nothing related to combat. More about romance and such.
Mikasa: Oh…like who is nicer, who likes who…that kind of topic. I think we’ve had those, yah.
Q: You’re not interested in that kind of thing?
Mikasa: They told me that my answer is always the same, so they don’t invite me often.
Q: Ah, yes, I can imagine. Let’s change up the topic to your daily routine. What do you do when you take a break from combat training?
Mikasa: 100 sets of abdominal and back muscle exercises, and then I inspect my 3DMG…
Q: I meant outside of your voluntary workouts…
Mikasa: Sewing clothes, cooking, going to the market with Eren and Armin.
Q: That seems pretty standard. What’s your best dish?
Mikasa: I grew up in the mountains…so a pheasant and vegetables dish. On break days I’ll occasionally cook recipes that mom or aunt Kalura (Carla) taught me, and then eat it with Eren and others.
Q: Eren must love having a taste of home.
Mikasa: Ah…I hope so.
Q: Then again, during puberty perhaps quantity is more important than quality?
Mikasa: Even if that’s the case…he’ll still eat whatever.
Q: When you go shopping, what kind of clothes do you like?
Mikasa: Pretty similar to the others…
Q: And you always wear that scarf?
Mikasa: I wash this scarf every once in a while, but there are days I don’t wear it.
(T/N: See during Chapter 52’s meal)
Q: You seem to care for it very much.
Mikasa: After I wash it with warm water, it becomes very soft.
Q: So having it washed must relax you. What do you do with the other cadets during holidays?
Mikasa: Usually we still have things to do even during rest periods. A day passes by quickly…but, when I was a trainee, I also did some different things.
Q: Such as?
Mikasa: The farm close to us occasionally harvests sweet potatoes and would distribute some to us…we would roast them and enjoy them.
Q: Sounds like a reward in faith.
Mikasa: Sasha is very good at finding the best sweet potatoes…Jean and Ymir were also invited, too. Connie nearly got burnt.
Q: That seems like a lovely memory. How are your days in the Scouting Legion? Any changes?
Mikasa: Nothing much has changed. Just training a lot before the expedition.
Q: You’re talking about the 57th expedition and the attempt to capture the Female Titan, right?
Mikasa: That time…
Q: What happened?
Mikasa: I made a mistake…and the most important soldier of all became injured…
Q: You’re talking about when Captain Levi got hurt?
Mikasa: Back then…Eren was taken, and I felt lost…it was my error.
Q: As someone who has strength that rivals the captain’s, it’s surprising that you admit to a mistake like that. Were you scared out of your mind?
Mikasa: I wanted to focus on retrieving Eren, but…
Q: You thought you could do it on your own.
Mikasa: …I was conceited.
Q: You’ve grown up.
Mikasa: I’m far from perfect…and it’s vexing.
Q: That was a good opportunity to reevaluate yourself.
Mikasa: …I won’t repeat the same mistake.
Q: What about the others in the Scouting Legion? Like Squad Leader Hanji Zoe?
Mikasa: I feel like…that person…is not a bad person.
Q: Just a pretty weird person…
Mikasa: She experiments on Eren…I know we have no choice, but I still feel uneasy.
Q: Well, she is pretty hyped up over it.
Mikasa: I understand that she just wants to solve the mysteries behind the titans…but I have to make sure she doesn’t overdo it.
Q: Then, in terms of that. I wonder, for you…
Mikasa: I will protect Eren.
Q: Of course.
Mikasa: No matter who wants to take him away…I’ll guard him to the end.
Q: So have you considered what you will do in the future?
Mikasa: The future?
Q: Any big dreams or life goals?
Mikasa: Like…when Eren will venture outside of the walls?
Q: Yes, do you have that kind of dream?
Mikasa: I don’t really, but…
Q: But?
Mikasa: If Eren and Armin go forth, I think I’ll go as well. To the outside world.
Q: That’s a great dream. I pray that the wish where humanity wins will come true.
Q: Finally, what do you want to say to all the citizens who pin their hope on you?
Mikasa: I understand your judgments and needs, so I wish to live up to your expectations if I can.
Q: Very reliable.
Mikasa: Eren will…should become everyone’s hope… yes, please believe me.
Q: Thank you!
After the interview, Mikasa departs quickly, with the gift from her family member Eren wrapped around her face.
I told her “It fits you.”
"Yes, thank you…"
There’s only that response. Her vaguely flushed face seems to have retreated behind the scarf.
From that demonstration of shyness, it appears that she is a 15-year-old young woman after all.
