Why would you eat that potato? / Are you asking me why people eat potatoes? ... You can have half... / Half...

Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Sasha meets a performance of military authority with the entirely different logic of hunger. The unfair division of the potato completes the joke without her needing to intend a rebellion.

Spoilers for Attack on TitanShow the scene
During the recruits’ first inspection, Sasha eats a stolen potato in front of instructor Keith Shadis. His demand for an explanation gets a literal question about why people eat potatoes, followed by her offer of a very small “half.” Episode 3 provides this exchange; English subtitle versions vary between “You can have half” and “Here’s half of it for you,” but preserve the same joke.
