What episode is "Traitor" in Attack on Titan?
"Traitor" is episode 85 of Attack on Titan.
With a heavily guarded flying boat and reluctant Scouts facing former allies, plans hinge on avoiding bloodshed amid tense standoffs and high stakes in a volatile environment.
Hange and Magath survey the occupied port, noticing that the flying boat is still intact, but the Jaegerists might destroy it any moment. An enormous amount of steam indicates that the Wall Titans have already crossed the sea, so the group must act fast. It becomes clear that they need the Azumabito engineers to service the boat and prepare it for flight. However, this would mean defending the Azumabito from the Jaegerists, even by wiping out all of them which Connie protests against. Annie and Reiner conclude that the Survey Corps members should not battle their former comrades. Magath tortures Yelena to make her reveal Eren's destination; she considers talking if the group brings her with them. Having a change of heart, Magath apologizes for burdening the young with the past and asks the Survey Corps to temporarily overlook the bloodshed, but Armin refuses while believing in a peaceful solution. Floch and Kiyomi have a disagreement over the new world order when Armin and Connie ride to the port, announcing to Floch that the Marleyans have escaped by sea, and that they need the flying boat to pursue them. They find it ready to be destroyed by explosives with Samuel and Daz standing guard. While initially suspicious of Armin and Connie, the two are eventually convinced to disarming the explosives. Floch remains doubtful and attempts to kill the remaining engineers, but is distracted by Kiyomi. Then Mikasa breaks into the building to save them. Floch escapes outside and announces Mikasa, Armin, and Connie to be traitors. Jean, Hange, and Magath manage to take the Azumabito into the basement for safety. An all-out battle ensues with Reiner and Annie arriving and transforming into their Titan forms, beginning to attack the Jaegerists. On the dock, Armin tries to stop Daz from re-arming the explosives only to be shot by Samuel. Connie and Armin wrestle with them to prevent the boat's destruction, with Connie eventually shooting and killing Daz and Samuel. Armin recalls Bertholdt crying about how someone must stain their hands with blood.
