“Attack on Titan” is never shy about showing that the supposed heroes of the series are just as capable of sadistic cruelty as their enemies are. Even still, Dhalis Zachary’s (Hideaki Tezuka/John Swasey) twisted, depraved, and obscene torture of a nobleman loyal to the corrupt government branch is relentlessly nasty and totally unforgettable.
Though viewers can’t see the man being tortured very well, it soon becomes clear what the Premier is doing to his prisoner, Aurille (Yoshikazu Nagano/Doug Jackson). Having suspended Aurille naked and upside down in a torture chair of his own making, Zachary is forcing the man to eat his own bodily waste.
Even though we don’t see it, this remains absolutely the most disgusting moment in all of “Attack on Titan.” Furthermore, taking place in season 3 of the series, long before Eren’s devastating heel turn, it offers an early hint at how far some people on “the good side” will go to get what they want. Furthermore, though we don’t see Aurille’s inevitable death, from this torture alone, we can’t begin to imagine how awful it is.
