The acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan has embarked on its concluding chapters, commencing with a momentous one-hour premiere event titled “The Final Chapters (Part One).” This extended episode amalgamates multiple installments to launch the finale on an epic scale, fulfilling the pledge of animation studio MAPPA to hold nothing back.
That is the reason why fans of the series are really excited to find out what is going to happen next in the upcoming Attack on Titan Season 4 Part 3 Episode 2 or “The Final Chapters (Part Two).”
The show transcended the conventions of action-oriented shonen anime long ago. With the revelatory premiere, Attack on Titan renounces any inclination toward a gratifying conclusion, defying the absolution and resolution that have typified anime storytelling since its early days.
This bold repudiation of genre tropes signals that fans should brace themselves for an ending devoid of salvation.
Recap and Review
The episode plunges us into the devastation unleashed by Eren’s Rumbling, as enormous Titans stampede indiscriminately across the world. Helpless people scramble in terror, but cannot escape the relentless onslaught.
Amid the chaos, two young boys optimistically discuss saving up for the winter, unaware of the looming threat. In an instant, their lives are crushed under the giant foot of a marauding Titan.
This visceral scene crystallizes a central theme of the concluding storyline – ordinary people living mundane lives are insignificant and vulnerable in the face of apocalyptic events beyond their control.
The anime often evokes real-world wartime atrocities, reminiscent here of civilians caught under the wheels of war. Their hopes and dreams are extinguished in a moment, and human lives are reduced to meaningless collateral damage.
Romance is rare in the brutal world of Attack on Titan, but this episode explores a tender moment between Annie and Armin. Their affection has been simmering since Annie spared Armin’s life when she was in Titan form.
Now, as they sail to find a flying boat, they finally address their feelings. We see the usually stoic Annie blush when she’s with Armin. However, their potential relationship seems doomed by their tragic pasts. Annie feels unworthy of love after the deaths she caused, including Levi’s squad.
Armin tries to empathize by bringing up his own war crimes in Marley, but his conscience is also heavy. Though they share a connection, Annie and Armin may be too haunted by their actions to find happiness together in the midst of the Rumbling. Their story represents a poignant, if fleeting, ray of light in the darkness of AoT’s world.
No one loved Titans more than the eternally cheerful Hange Zoe. So it’s fitting that she goes out doing what she loves most: getting an up-close look at the massive Titans while taking out a few.
Hange meets her glorious end, being burned alive by the steam from the Colossal Titans. This buys time for her squad to fuel up their makeshift plane and escape the Rumbling.
True to form, Hange is giddy about dying in battle with her beloved Titans. Her sacrifice is difficult to watch but feels perfectly in character. As a leader, Hange was stubborn, brilliant, and goofy, never losing herself in the role.
Before her final act, Levi places his fist over Hange’s heart, a callback to their late commander Erwin Smith, and utters the heartbreaking words: “Shinzou Wo Sasageyo”.
