The previous episode ended with Eren’s stubbornness to save his homeland emerging victorious before Zeke’s salvation to sacrifice Eldia for the greater good. In a single command, thousands of Colossal Titans emerge from the walls that have been protecting Pradis for centuries. As you read the article, these Wall Titans are marching towards the other side of the sea with the sole purpose of abolishing the outside world. Can Mikasa, Armin, and the remaining members of the 104th training corps let humanity perish to save their homeland? We will find that out in Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 22.
With the activation of rumbling, Reiner’s worst nightmare has turned into reality. The people he wants to protect will be trampled over by the army of Wall Titan. Thus, the only way out is to kill Eren for the greater good of the world. However, easier said than done. The Founding Titan is colossal even compared to the Colossal Titans, so pinpointing Eren’s nape is simply next to impossible.
Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 22 Preview and Speculation
In the preview clip of Attack on Titan Episode 81, hundreds of Wall Titans are seen marching towards Marley. Connie holds Armin by his collar and tries to knock some sense to him. He definitely believes that wiping out the entire humanity is too high a price for their freedom. Meanwhile, Mikasa is seen cutting the snape of a titan, probably one of those controlled by Zeke.
Moreover, since Eren has undone the hardening of all the titans, I don’t think that Reiner and Annie will be any exceptions. Thus, there’s a high possibility that Eren’s Rumbling activation will break the crystal imprisoning Annie, thereby waking her up from the seemingly eternal sleep. Meanwhile, Mikasa and Armin will be in a dilemma on which side to pick. They must resort to Hange’s expert advice to come to any conclusion as the future of the entire world resides on their shoulder.

Shingeki no Kyojin Season 4 Episode 21 Recap
The episode starts with Eren and Zeke exploring Grisha’s memories, where he mercilessly kills Frieda and all other children of the royal family. Zeke finally realizes that Eren forced his father to commit these sins, and he orders Ymir to carry out his euthanization plan immediately. As Ymir gradually heads towards the coordinate, Eren tries to free himself from the war-renouncing chains. After struggling for a while, he finally breaks free and rushes towards Ymir to stop her. He reminds her that she is neither a god nor a slave; rather, she is a person with feelings.
The History of Titans
The next scene took us to the blood-stained pages of the Eldian history when Eldia was nothing but a barbaric tribe. King Fritz enslaved Ymir while conquering other lands. One fateful day, the villagers accused Ymir of freeing the cattle. Obviously, she wasn’t the culprit, but she had no other option but to accept punishment. While getting chased by the soldiers, Ymir entered the bark of an enormous tree where a centipede-like creature attached itself with her. Thus, Ymir emerged as the Founding Titan for the first time.
The day marked the beginning of Eldia’s glory. With the power of Titan, Eldia fought one after another war and built bridges to improve the mobility of their forces. The Marleyan army didn’t stand a chance before them, and millions of Marleyans lost their lives. Later, Ymir died trying to protect King Fritz from an assassination attempt. However, the King refused to let the titan powers go in vain, and so he fed Ymir’s crop to their daughters: Cena, Rose, and Maria.
Eren Activates Rumbling
Back in the present, Eren activates Rumbling and transforming into the Founding Titan for the very first time. Once again, the roads of Paradis get covered with the dust of horrors. Thousands of Colossal Titans emerge from the walls and march towards the sea. Eren connects with all the Eldians and says that he won’t stop his rampage until every last human outside the Walls is killed.
