<p>See page 33, Chapter 32, "Compassion" from the manga.</p>

<p>The previous page followed discussion over Annie as a suspect in being the Female Titan. Mikasa asks Eren, having fought the Female Titan, if anything reminded him of Annie at all. Eren then remembers Annie's stance as a parallel to the Female Titan moving from that same stance into her kick. </p>

<p>The <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/f9mrC.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">stance</a> resembles <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/BP2tt.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Annie's style</a> demonstrated in <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/k3ahV.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Chapter 17: Illusions of Force</a></p>

<p>The text is spoken by Mikasa to convince Eren that deep down he knows first hand how close to the similarities are.</p>

Can you explain what happened exactly? Instead of just pointing out to the page? Right now I'm still not 100% convinced that this answer is the best one.

@MadaraUchiha Hopefully, the edit is a bit more informative of what's happening.

Still, there isn't a clear "She kicked his head off" in this answer, add that and the bounty is yours :)

<p>After she killed the Levi squad, Eren transformed to fight the Female Titan. In Chapter 29, <em>Hammer</em>, it looked like Eren was having the upper hand, but then the Female Titan turned around, and with one horizontal motion, cut Eren's titan form's head in half.</p>

<p>How did that happen? That part wasn't clear in the anime nor the manga. Did she take a tree and smacked him? Did she harden her hand and hit him?</p>

See page 33, Chapter 32, "Compassion" from the manga.

The previous page followed discussion over Annie as a suspect in being the Female Titan. Mikasa asks Eren, having fought the Female Titan, if anything reminded him of Annie at all. Eren then remembers Annie's stance as a parallel to the Female Titan moving from that same stance into her kick.

The [stance](https://i.sstatic.net/f9mrC.jpg) resembles [Annie's style](https://i.sstatic.net/BP2tt.jpg) demonstrated in [Chapter 17: Illusions of Force](https://i.sstatic.net/k3ahV.png)

The text is spoken by Mikasa to convince Eren that deep down he knows first hand how close to the similarities are.
