Attack on Titan (manga)/Recap/S1/E05 First Battle -The Struggle for Trost, Part 1


 * Heroic BSOD: Armin shuts down almost immediately after combat starts.
 * Mood Whiplash: A little slower than most examples. The soldiers are saying stuff like 'who ever kills the most titans gets bragging rights' and 'don't fudge your scores', triumphant music is being played. Then the mood fades a little, someone states the vanguard has been overwhelmed. And then, before any of them kill even one titan, one of them dies and the music completely changes.
 * , except Armin.
