This show is relentless. A fully trained intelligent titan shows what it can do against elite soldiers and another intelligent titan. No mercy. Eren is abducted with Captain Levi and Mikasa in pursuit.
Brutal. That's what this show is.
As Commander Erwin retreats, he reflects on the mistakes they had made in basing their plan of attack on the capabilities of a novice titan user such as Eren. The ability to harden parts of the body and to call other titans to it, are the ones they saw. There might be others, he muses, such as being able to carry the multi-directional gear with them, or perhaps even transforming several times in a short span.
Um, yeah, on both those. The female titan pilot kills one of Levi's soldiers, and as the others turn to attack, while letting Eren escape, she transforms again. But Levi's soldiers are the elite of the elite, and their fight gives us hope that they may win. Tactics like blinding a titan, cutting certain tendons, and finishing the battle while they heal. But the intelligent titan shows other capabilities they didn't count on, like prioritizing the healing. In this case, the female titan just needed one eye to finish the elites off, and then it was Eren's turn.
Eren loses. It was apparent that his titan form was stronger and quicker, but he's still a novice, and the female titan beat him through battle experience alone. Mikasa and Levi hear Eren's titan's bellows, and follow, just in time to see him get taken the only way a titan can, eating him whole. Now comes the pursuit.
