Attack On Titan: 12 Standout Moments From Season 3

6. Armin's Sacrifice

When it comes to characters making brave, yet dumb decisions to try and save their friends, Eren is usually the one who is given these moments. However, in a last ditch bid to defeat Bertolt in the Colossal Titan form, Armin stepped up to the plate and showed that he was willing to die for the cause.

By tricking Bertolt into thinking that Eren was still dealing with the effects of being knocked out, Armin leaped towards the Bertolt, causing his former comrade to use his special power of emitting skin scorching steam. This was particularly intriguing to watch as Bertolt showed remorse for having to kill his former friend.

As Bertolt slowly, but surely burns Armin to nothing but a crisp, he fails to keep his eye on Eren. This turns out to be all part of Armin's plan, as Eren hardens his Titan form, escapes from it and ambushes Bertolt from behind, ripping him out of his nape and defeating the titan.
