* TrainingFromHell: While we don't get to see to much ourselves it's pretty clear that the combat training is incredibly brutal. One of the instructors mentions that [[DrillSergeantNasty Shadis]] intentionally breaks recruits down into blank slates to be remodelled into soldiers. Those that cant take the pressure, or whom are deemed liabilities, are removed from the program and send to plough fields. Eren and Armin are shocked to see a few people send to the fields on the first day.
* {{Troll}}: Mikasa gets a brilliantly deadpan moment when [[BigEater Sasha]], who had somewhat intruded on a moment she (thought) she had with Eren, sits on his former seat asking if she can have the bread Mikasa had with her. Mikasa holds up the bread to a smiling Sasha then stuffs it in her mouth.

* NoNameGiven: The female recruit that gives Krista a hard time about helping out Sasha is not named in this episode (or indeed for the entire season as her name hadn't been revealed in the manga yet). As such the anime helpfully refers to her as "freckles" in the credits.

In order to gain the skills necessary to combat the Titan threat Eren, Mikasa, and Armin enlist into the 104th Trainee Corps. There they meet several unique characters and potential allies. However Eren's dream of enlisting in the Survey Corps may all be for nought if he can't figure out how to keep his balance with the ODM gear. Can a couple of new friends help him out?
!!Tropes:
* AdaptationalExpansion: In the manga Eren, Armin, Reiner, and Bertolt stayed on their bunks when they talked about their pasts. In the anime the four leave the barracks and walk to a cliff in order to see a lake below.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: The Trainee arc was originally shown after the Battle of Trost arc via flashback. Here the Trainee arc is shown first likely to keep the show moving in chronological order and to give context to various characters personalities.
* BootCampEpisode: The entirety of this episode takes place during the Shiganshina Trio's time enlisting within the 104th Trainee Corps and shows how they develop the skills necessary to combat the Titans.
* BreatherEpisode: After the DownerBeginning of the first two episodes this one, and most of the next episode, are mostly various light hearted romps and character pieces introducing a variety of new fun characters to the show.
* DoomedHometown: Bertolt explains that he and Reiner were from a mountain village in Wall Maria. Because of their remote location they didn't get word of the Walls destruction until the Titans were right on top of them and they had to escape. Reiner expresses a desire to return to their hometown once more.
