Attack on Titan Final Episode

absolutely not, fuck eldia

Dirtblokje

whats wrong with you bro

Dirtblokje

I still stand with Eren should of cooked 100% and fuck the squad for betraying him smh 🤦🏿‍♂️

Jr. Martinez

The end

Thiago Silva

very well put

MuteSpittah

I'm super late to this, but did anyone ever tell them/or did they acknowledge being told that the whole Historia & husband situation was explained back in S4 part 1? They've talked about the dad being a mystery so much that I got curious lol.

Shado

Seems like it’s just finna cycle that tree had an opening god knows where that only leads to it’s finna start all over again

jaylin brooks

Worth it

stanley drury anderson jr

The war in the credits doesn't necessarily have to be about the Eldians it's just another war in human history. As long as man kind persists war is inevitable. Freedom breeds ideology, differing ideology leads to war.

Darth Marr

@Henrique the execution isnt bad. the reviews are positive because majority of the population isnt braindead. You have to copebecause it didnt go your way

Venus

Ending song name?

Jonathan Reyes

The kid going into the tree makes me think thr Titans will return somehow.

LeHarlequin .

Code Geass is the only anime I love more than Attack on Titan.

Zachary Shepard

It wouldn't matter bro. The entire point is that humanity is flawed. Conflict will always be a thing so long as one person thinks differently from another.

Jeremiah Neely

80% of the population. Gone. Let's say this took place in 1900. That's over 1.2 billion people he killed. God damn.

Jeremiah Neely

Yup, the whole significance was just that her child was the first to be born in a world with no titans.

NicksKicks

Yup and it had an opening hint that it could harvest another creature inside

Wagner m

Eren basically just wanted his friends and all the people of Paradise island to have conflict free lives. He didn’t care about anyone else. Just them, so he knew retaliation would happen.

Jordan

I wish we got to see Mikasas and the others families after they rebuilt and continued life but that is my only complaint other then that this shit was a masterpiece.

Senjioh

@Ahridva. That's just an assumption you're making. It's open ended there's no confirmation whether it's her husband or not.

Polygon

Relax my guy it’s only a joke

Indiah

11:42 I knew there was gonna be a dirty joke here LMAOO

metronxtdoorr

Yk, I was honestly looking for someone to justify my thoughts on this. I guess in reality we'll never know since it was left open ended. But I think I'll choose to believe that Mikasa stayed true to her feelings for Eren. I doubt she would've moved on after how much she loved him for this mega long story.

Peter Lee

The guy is mostly Armin (different hair), plus the kid is mostly his kid that he got with Annie. Plus I dont think she would end up with Jean. Jean deserve better and Mikasa will always love Ereh no matter what so she died single. There is also a theory that back up that is the lily flowers she holding. (mah bad for my trash english)

Ahridva

nah she died single. The kid is mostly Armin child and the dude we see in the manga is Armin.

Ahridva

this ending proves Eren should've went all the way

Kévin Chamberlin

Literally some random farmer from the village she grew up in. They explained it in the anime and Manga. Don't know why everyone thinks it's some mystery.

Cody

What? He's talking about eren sending the smiling titan after his mother because it was about to eat Bertholdt which would have messed everything up

Cody

Bro idk how to feel about this man. Like I can't sit here and wish Mikasa to be alone bc that's wrong, but gosh I wish she was with Eren

Peter Lee

Yes she did you see her visit the grave with her family in the end credits and in the Manga she has a man whom we never see the face of wak up and say "it's time to go mikasa" and she gets up and leaves with him. A lot of people think it's Jean cause his hairstyle looks like his from the back and he always liked her

Cody

I don't understand why so many people are confused about historia and say it was a mystery the whole time that amounted to nothing. It was never a mystery. The fan base literally pulled it being a mystery out of thin air because they wanted her to be pregnant with Erens child when the Manga and the anime very plainly state it was just some random farmer dude in the village she grew up in that used to bully her as a child cause he had a crush on her and turned out to be a good dude and never bring any attention to it again. The only thing eren had to do with it is he said he didn't want her to end up as a slave to some breeding program so they could endlessly pop out eldians with royal blood and use them as sacrifices to have the runbling like a loaded gun. And for her to get pregnant before they forced her to become a titan and eat zeke. Thats it. Nothing more nothing less and it was never a mystery or even hinted at as a mystery.

Cody

Crazy how you ask valid questions but people could barerly answer or dismiss it with a psuedo intellectual statement or just flat out ignorance. Smh I forgot how Roshi comment can be full of braindeads. I wonder what opinion half of these niggas would have on their own if they weren't doing watch alongs with they lonely asses.

Desto Samuels

maybe she adopted them since it was after a war

Anas Loyal

I AM SOOOOOOOOOO GLAD sheera understood what changed in the anime than the manga that EREN tried other ways outcome didnt change......the reason the ending was called bad cause in the manga this and eren armin conversation were A LOT DIFFERENT ...so glad sheera caught that line deeply that eren tried other ways outcome doesnt change in memories

Rishad GB

So...did Mikasa end up with someone? did she have a kid? A coworker of mine said that in the manga it just ends with Mikasa next to the grave

Peter Lee

Lmao Gottem

Krype

Well, unlike Ymir, this kid is freely venturing to the tree. They look a little tired, but not bleeding or under attack like Ymir was. While the cycle may repeat, whatever this boy or girl finds will grant them a far different power.

Jarren Jenkins

Talk no Jutsu lmfao

Madara_Uchiha_2022

I read the manga and still forgot he was the one who clapped his own mom...

Arc

As many are saying, the tree at the end looked very similar to the one where Ymir got the founding titan's powers. Also, the kid at the end seemed that went through many hardships (like Ymir), do you think that the story will repeat again. Someone looking for power to overcome their demons. Opinions?

Emiliano Ruiz Chong

I really thought the series was going to flop badly with how everyone said the manga ended poorly. I liked how it ended, doesn't matter how many wars you wage there will always be more war because war never changes as they say.

Bethany

Several layers or whatever the main point thats not how humans work. Humans just break down when they are mentally at their worst and eren stage where he knows he is gonma die as he says he kills 80% and 20% get saved gets meaning he knows he gets stopped and dies and he knows he did a major attrocity. Yes at the age of 19 seeing the future and knowing you are gonna die be upsetting. There is no need execution you know what eren going through clear why he would breakdown he is about to die. You talk about the execute about it that is bad you are not explaining properly there is nothing wrong execution if you think eren situation. He is talking best friend for the last time knowing his futue is DEATH at the age of 19 if he was not gonna breakdown like this here then when was he ever gonma do it there is no timing or proper execution for that shit facing tragedy thats not how humans work.

Angelo

Wtf!! That tree at the end looks exactly like the tree that Ymir originally found the Titan creature under. Am I imagining things?

Ohais

Yeah, they made it a lot better in the anime. I still don’t like the ending overall, I still don’t like the stuff like “I was just an idiot” and “Ymir loved king fritz”, but I can’t fault people for liking it anymore.

Bman468

Wow, this was a sad but cool interpretation

Wolf

Wow, this was a great read! Now do me a favor - copy, paste and send this to yo mama. We don’t care bro. 10/10 👌🏾

Wolf

He couldn’t finish it. I think you missed a key piece of dialogue he would have did 100% his friends only manage to stop after he knocked off 80. He didn’t stop at 80 just to do it.

Cam Kaneki

Never really thought about it but a shit load of animals probably went extinct as well. All humanity had to work together to recover because the rumbling did more than kill people. It killed animals, took out resources, destroyed peoples way of living, it just did alot.

Efrojmo

Lupa ia so hilarious omgg hahahahha

hummingmoon

It was such a great show, but I hated the last few seasons despite how great it was.... It was just so hard to watch everything go so horribly. 10/10 show tho fr

Dud3 itsj3ff

DONT GO IN THAT TREE LIL HOMIE!!! 😭

Dud3 itsj3ff

As someone that read the ending way back when (and reread it a few months ago) there were A LOT of small changes to the dialogue and pacing that made things 1000x better than the manga ending. While I still got some issues with it, I can say the anime ending was enjoyable

Gabe

I know that they changed parts of the ending in the anime from the manga I just can't remember what it was since its been years since I even finished AOT. Overall watching this animated made me fucking cry. Cry over the sad shit and the fact AOT is finally over. 10/10

Izanagi15

btw the tree at the end looks like the tree in Ymir's flashback where she got the titan powers

Pucki

The one who came to visit with their family was Armin, atleast, that's implied cuz if you zoom in, they have blonde hair, Mikasa never moved on.

Solivigant Kaiba

So if yall didnt catch it, that last last scene implied the Titan power returned

Godrick

Bro im sorry, but when Armin punches Eren i ONLY hear Narutos voice comin out of him XD

Godrick

I miss you already

Gary

Yeah It's supposed to be a full circle thing and a hint that it will all start up again, referring back to what Zeke was saying before he died about life multiplication

Dingleberrylewis

isn't that the tree where they found the worm thing for titans

mario lopez

Marco duh

Blu

Me still wondering who Historia’s real baby daddy is

Indiah

Man, this show is going to miss me.

Mayke0077

Lol you clearly give a fuck commenting on my comment about an anime that puts zero dollars in your pocket grow up

Justin Spencer

No one givea a fuck that u dont care about him. Ur just making shit up to appease ur weird little fantasies about eren.

Ougi

time to re-watch the reactions starting at season 2

Don'tReadMyUsername

Anime didn’t even care enough about him to give him a name so why should I care about him if the show didn’t lol

Justin Spencer

I saw her husband I paid attention. I just would like it if that kid was erens instead look at those eyes and that mouth Idc about that random guy she calls her husband

Justin Spencer

Rewatch this but pay attention, you'll see historia, her kid and her husband.

Ougi

I mean from what we have seen in the show we already know that only Paradis existing does not equal peace.

Twin Hallow

That is just how the world works. Even if it was only Paradis surviving they would all turn into factions and wars would happen in the future as well. There is no way to stop war from happening in the future.

Twin Hallow

That baby looked just like eren someone call Maury that’s erens freaking daughter historia had his kid I’m feeling pretty confident about this

Justin Spencer

Because there would not be eternal peace. The entire point of this was to show that conflict and war are unavoidable as it is part of human nature. Sure you killed everyone else in the world but do you think every Eldian would have just been fine with that? Civil Wars likely would have happened in the future between themselves because that's just how humans are.

Rainy

Did YOU even watch the episode??? Rewatch the convo between eren and armin. Armin: "It was all to push us away and make us into the heroes who saved humanity from annhilation?" Eren: "That's right. Every surviving human would owe you a debt of gratitude."

Ocean

Did u even watch the episode? 20 percent is all armin n the rest manage to save. If they didn't try to save them eren would've just kept going. But he knows the future and knows he will only manage to kill 80%, even though he intends to kill everyone except paradis he knows he'll only be able to kill 80%. So he makes the most of that predetermined outcome and erases the power of the titans, leaving the remaining parties with roughly equal strength. At that point his work is done, he's extended his friend's lives by making them no longer titan shifters and he got to trample the world like he wanted. It wasn't the perfect outcome for anyone, it was never going to be a perfect outcome from the start. Like eren literally says himself, he's a fucking idiot that stumbled into power.

Ougi

thats mikasas son

snowwy

Except not really. Since eren himself sees and feels what the rumbling titans do. Which is why he always refers to himself as the one trampling the world. Ur analogy is dumb because its not as easy as push a button an kill everyone. There is no detachment, you've got to personally decide to kill them in every instance. you are the one massacring millions of people, you've got to make the conscious decision to kill every one of those people yourself. You've got to go out there and singlehandedly murder millions of children, you've got to pull the trigger on every single death and watch as you kill them. Everyone loves to act like they wouldn't hesitate to do shit for the sake of their loved ones, but I know for a fact you wouldn't be able to just kill a baby with your bare hands. Regardless of what u think ur protecting, 99% of ppl wouldn't be able to just massacre children with their bare hands. Do you honestly think a person who is a mother could just kill millions of babies and children without hesitation? I'm sure they both understand it was to save his people, it's YOU who doesn't understand the weight that would actually come with such a genocide. U seem to think its like pressing a button and watching from a far, when it'd actually be you who has to consciously decide to kill every person in your path.

Ougi

ah ok that makes sense

britt

Does Sheera and Lupa not understand that the rumbling was to save his people? no matter what you say if america was going to be wiped out completely and you could pusha button to wipe everyone else out and save your home and everyone you love you would.t hesitate

Kaylan Hussein

I just dont understand why you dont just get rid of the last 20 percent and have longer or potentially eternal peace in one small nation?

Kaylan Hussein

That is true which I somehow just realized when watching the anime ig they explained it better which is true with our real everyday life but regardless it's a 10/10 for me and it printed as a childhood that I grew up with all these years glad I stayed till the end

Jojo_avena

I don't think it matters if it was an Eldian survivor or not. Anyone who merges with the parasite becomes a titan and can produce more of the titan race. Just another human living their life who stumbles across more conflict

Sheldon Lewis

It wouldn't have mattered either way. If Eren killed everyone outside of Paradis the conflict would just continue with Eldians. The moral of the story is that as long as life goes on their will always be conflict. That's why they showed the kid at the very end heading toward the potential titan tree. History repeats itself.

Sheldon Lewis

Mf why you lying for 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fizzy

hm i can see where you're coming from and it could be seen as pessimistic but for example: over and over again in real life we've seen that peace has never been fully obtained, sure it may last for a while but as long as there is humanity, violence/discrimination/hatred will unfortunately exist... ofc it'd be ideal the day we are able to break that cycle but realistically that's a very hard thing to achieve, there are just some people in this world who want chaos. something i'll always remember is in s3 erwin said "humanity will never stop fighting itself, until it shrinks to a size of one or less" and it's the sad truth. there is some light in the ending and i took it as the author saying while yes we can only hope for a day where we'll be at peace (like how the cast did before season 4), we also need to come to terms that humanity has many flaws and is complicated

sam

There's some ending scenes that I think you guys missed, it was in the ED and gives some closure with Eren n Mikasa

Pucci

Nah bruh the fact that the got killed later on proves my point should have finished 100% of the rumbling

Jr. Martinez

*Armin

Kelsey McWhorter

And to add insult to injury jury remember armin said “eren always ran to that tree , mikasa followed behind him , and i was always last “ just how they died 1.) Eren 2.) mikasa 3.) Armon

Kelsey McWhorter

What’s even more sad is if you go back thru the credits you can see armin lived out everybody and was one of the only ones that showed up to eren and mikasa grave in his last finals days .

Kelsey McWhorter

Overall a resounding 10/10 for me personally 😤!!!! No it definitely wasn't perfect by any means for example the whole ymir love thing I was trying to think on it and maybe it was like love is just hate but obsession mixed in I don't even know what I'm saying but yeah it was confusing especially the shot with him dead and her hugging her kids I'm guessing that was them reconnecting in the paths now that it finally ended🤔. Also yes I wanted eren to live with Mikasa I wanted this man to have a happy ending but ultimately his life was pain at least when he kissed historia's hand so I gave up all hope he would get to live and be happy especially learning he's the one who sent zeke's mom to kill his mom that messed me up so I know the guilt was killing him. The whole epilogue of the modern war and eventually the end of everything to only repeat the cycle was poetic and sad but realistic at the same time with loki airing as well this is too much casualties for me all that aside the reason why this was perfect to me is quite simple it was beautiful. The whole decade long journey was intense from beginning to end from voice acting to animation to storytelling. I watched the entire thing from the very beginning when it first dropped on crunchyroll and I have to highlight my favorite thing of attack on titan. THE MUSIC!!! I've been hooked from season one and everyday when I walked to and from school I would listen to the ost even doing other things I would listen on repeat when CALL YOUR NAME and BIG GIRL played I started to tear up🤧 and it finally hit me this was it. Regardless Hajime Isayama changed manga and the anime world for sure and I can't help be proud to be here to see it finished great work sir hope he's proud along with everyone else who worked on and watched this masterpiece. 👍👏.

Leo

Eren is the most misunderstood character throughout the whole series. Crazy that people got even more confused towards the end

Thallon

His body was in paradis when gabi shot his head off lol

Thallon

no just a long spine connecting his head with that big boi

maui

POV: you discover that okapi are real animals

Natasha Padparadscha

Yeah yeah 10/10 ending 10/10 anime 🤲🏾

Stanley Labissiere

I know his isn’t important to majority of the post but can’t falco being able to fly and being a bird like Titan be the result of him having Zeke’s spinal fluid in him aka the beast titans which can give him beast like traits?

Shin splits

wasn't erens human body still in the mouth?

britt

What body? How they gon bury that big as shit

Shin splits

Lil bro is announcing that he isnt going to watch this video as if we gave a fuck 💀💀

iMissDinklebot

so they just said fuck that man's body and just buried his head? 😭

britt

Angelo, you completely miss the criticism with the Eren breakdown. It is not that he breaks down. It’s not that he’s still a child, traumatized and immature and flawed. It’s not even that he actually is super hung up on a girl he’s never shown the time of day even before he became the Attack Titan. It’s, as stated, the completely lampooned execution of it. There were a dozen ways that Eren revealing his layers and having a genuine sentimental breakdown could have worked. No one rational is upset about that. It is purely how lazily and amateurishly an otherwise great writer like Isayama chose to execute that idea. That whole post you made, while appreciated, addresses nothing to the execution, just doubles down on the intention, which I’m not disagreeing with.

Champion Bescos

It was the same the only difference was the dialogue between armin and eren. In the manga armin basically thanked eren for mass murder basically putting everything on eren instead but in the anime he shares the burden.

Joshua Resendez

Peak on Titan

Bosastar

People where mad because eren died i wont lie i wished he lived to but i still think it was pretty good.

✨《HENTAI GOD》✨

People get so mad over the eren crying scene like bruh he is 19 year old that knows he is gonna die of course he is breaking down his life is over, and there is nothing he can do about it. People want a different eren but that different was a fake it was a pretend as he said Eren was always whiny he was always angry he was always emotional, its just that now he had to suck it up because there was a path that laid out for him by litterally his future self that can not be changed and events that will not change. But when you know its the end and you are gonna die at the age of 19 without everyone you cared about of course you would break down. He knows not only that he commits but he also knows he dies and as he said past and future exist simulanteously so he is seeing a path that was laid out before him a path that was laid out before he was born with grisha and kreuger the former attack titans getting memories of eren. Eren is a slave to freedom yes And while armin dialogue of thank you for doing genocide may not be a fun dialogue but you gotta keep in mind that he world was planning to kill them. They were gona genocide them as much as eren was gonna genocide them the only difference is eldians are a smaller race compared to the world. But yes Eren genocide is still the reason why they are alive because he killed enough people for them to not be able to retaliate immediately and for them to be heroes so regardless of what you think about genocide morality the fact remains they are alive because of eren. Armin saying that to eren makes sense to me because their destiny was to get killed otherwise the future was set out that the world would war on eldia regardless of what he does and he saw everything turn exactly the same everytime so he knew that there was no changing it. I mean Armin is not saying he supports genocide i think thats not the right logic he stopped eren for a reason he clearly does not support genocide however he can't deny that eren doing what he did gave them a chance to be alive. Eren did it for them. If the world was gonna try kill you no matter what it be hard to actually feel bad about the world thats trying to kill you of course feel bad for the uninvolved victims which is well a element of war as war will always cause people that do not battle to get caught in the crossfire. Also you gotta keep in mind that armin has killed people he may not have done as much damage as eren but he also he nuked marely and transformed and killed innocent along with enemies armin and eren hands were already blood with killing the innocent to armin he is already not trying to play the moral police to a crazy extend due to this.

Angelo

Bros fluent in yapanese

Christian Jean Baptiste

Historia does say at the end here that Eren revealed to her the future. Its my current headcannon that he revealed this not via memory alteration via the paths post his death, but after her royal procession. It the only way I can understand how Historia went from being in disagreement to being used to create children to continue the bloodline versus being an acting ruler right after she basically finds herself and becomes clear of mind. "Oh btw Historia, your baby will be immediately born when I'm beheaded in a now temporarily peaceful remaining world for the duration of your lives, the first child born after I've destroyed 80% of all humanity, so its more than continuing your bloodline, it will give humanity hope" or smth like that

Zephyrs

Sir Yaps A Lot over here

Dolos

The exact same ending as the manga. People are just dumb lol this was the only ending that would make sense.

Cubjitsu

A lot of anime only people decrying the mere thought of manga readers disliking the original ending, so I thought I’d provide a popular example of WHY many thought the ending was poorly executed, regardless of liking/not liking the thematic direction it took: *** “A lot of the conversation about whether the ending is bad or not stem around people's thoughts on the ideas expressed in the ending: Eren being a "slave" this whole time, Mikasa being the real hero all along, etc. A lot of ending critics will cite these ideas as why the ending is bad. No, the ending of Attack on Titan isn't bad because of these ideas. These ideas are defensible, and have been defended in a bunch of videos by youtubers like Ohara and Turtle Quirk. The reason why the ending is bad is because the execution of these ideas is garbage. Let's take that iconic Eren scene for example. Eren being in love with Mikasa this entire time is fine (IN CONCEPT). Eren breaking down pathetically over her is fine (IN CONCEPT). But how does Isayama execute those ideas? Does he perhaps take advantage of the fact that they're in Eren's headspace and perhaps walk us through some of the most iconic Eren and Mikasa interactions and recontextualize them with the knowledge that Eren loved her this whole time? Or maybe he cries about how him being a slave to freedom prevented him from loving her and he perhaps reflects on whether sacrificing it was worth it in the end? No. What we actually got is: “No, I don't want that! Mikasa finding another man?! I want her to think about me and no one else for the rest of her life! Even after I die...I want her to be hung up on me for a while! Ten years at least!!” What?! This is some Tommy Wiseau-tier dialogue. Why is Eren obsessed with being cucked or with the amount of years that Mikasa will obsess over him? Why not break down at the fact that he can't be with Mikasa because of his own decisions, or because the world is simply cruel? Even if this is an attempt at making him as pathetic (relatable?) as possible, it goes way too far and makes him come off as a parody of himself instead because of its poor execution. This is consistent with how the rest of the ending's idea is executed. Defensible ideas that are mangled with horrible dialogue and execution. Mikasa being able to free Ymir by killing Eren due to Ymir loving her RAPIST pedophile husband (so much so that she wanted to kill herself but still serve him after she died)?! Ok. Fine. But how is this incredibly shocking and rather heavy plot development portrayed to us? “It's hard to believe, but...The Founder Ymir...Was in love with Karl Fritz...That's why ymir's restriction has persisted for the last 2000 years...” Huh. What? Like, with no additional context of how such a contrived situation could have ever developed. Just dropped on our faces and now we simply have to accept it. This is NOT good storytelling. Armin wanting to express his moral condemnation of Eren's actions while also reassuring him as a friend? Fine. But how is this incredibly complex series of statements and emotions shown to us? “Eren. Thank you. You became a mass murderer for our sake… I swear I won't let this terrible mistake you're making be in vain.” At best, this is clunky (they thankfully altered this in the anime). At worst, this is unironically expressing gratefulness for genocide. You see what I mean about execution? Again, there are probably 1000 ways that this could have been written to properly convey the author's intention. What absolutely kills me here is the fact that Isayama made Armin say "terrible mistake", which is, err, certainly a way to describe turning 80% of the world's population into ground meat. Rapid-fire examples of terrible execution: - Jean, Connie and Co. having extremely emotional goodbyes only to be titanized for barely half a chapter and then instantly reverting back as if nothing happened (done for pure shock value, I don't see how it can be anything else) - Yelena literally vanishing from the plot (Isayama forgor) - Falco being able to fly and save the alliance just because of a memory (my man isn't even an attack titan) - the alliance managing to fend off an assault by dozens of organized and experienced Titan Shifters with the only casualty being Levi's leg (with unlimited thunder spears and gas too boot! complementary of Isayama himself) - the rest of the world not banding together and working day and night feverishly to eradicate all of Paradise within Mikasa’s lifetime for, y’know, the billions of lives they lost, etc. I could go on, but you get the point... I've yet to see a single "actually this ending is good" argument touch on the execution of these ideas. It’s all just blanket statements of how they like the INTENDED ideas instead. At a certain point, however, the execution becomes so farcical that whatever ideas were trying to be expressed just lose all their merit.” *** This honestly took a mere four minutes to write and quote, and probably less to read, but I understand reading is hard for high schoolers. All credit to A_Toxic_User for summering some of the issues with the last couple chapters. Oh, and I did text my momma.

Champion Bescos

I really love the show, but still believe the craziest thing is how Mikasa was able to travel the distance from the sahara dessert to Madagascar alone with no supplies, no transport no boat even like that is from the north of africa to south east and across an ocean Still 10/10

Oliver

Eren achieved his goal for all his friends to live long lives although the path he took to get there was wild. That’s what he wanted. I really like this ending. 10/10 anime for sure

JJ

Well worded and very valid defense of your opinion, one I agree with. Isayama betrayed the thematic qualities of his work, that’s ultimately what does it for me. A pragmatic, often ruthless, ultimately maddening story slowly became optimistic, defanged, and mundane.

Champion Bescos

@Lucky Licks it's funny that, while people who dislike the ending bring up arguments based on existing material of the story, people like you who defend the ending always say stuff like "ohh but the message", "ohh but you didn't understand it" lmao. The message doesn't mean shit if the execution is bad. Love being the main plot point WAS out of nowhere and no amount of cope will change that.

Henrique I. Pereira

Now we wait for that new chapter coming next year.

Jamie See

Yes I was and like I said I was upset when it first came out because the 1st ending didn't reset everything again with that end credits every lived a happy life and later paradise got the retaliation and that was it. But I ain't anymore I slowly liked how it turned out in the end.

Jojo_avena

Meh I was fine with it all. Anime did a good job extending everything and AoT goes down as the GOAT

Stanley Labissiere

May i ask why

Onyekachi Nkenke

This is a stupid assessment, just because the over arching themes and tone of the show is one thing, doesn’t mean a “different” topic or idea can’t conclude a story(and it didn’t, you literally missed the whole message of show, which was life is an unending cycle), doesnt mean a conclusion of the story can’t end with it. And it definitely wasn’t out of no where. And given the circumstances of the show Mikasa and Eren had no time to share any intimacy because they are constantly fighting and life and death situations. Doesn’t mean it that love didn’t exist? People, and in this case, characters are more complex then you make them out to be.

Lucky Licks

1)That tree at the end is a brand new version of the tree Ymir fell into at the start so the titan stuff is about to repeat it looks like 2)it was pretty smart on Eren’s part to destroy 80% of the population so that all the people he cares about will have a couple hundred years to live their lives and at least a couple generations of their kids to live before the inevitable war happens again 3) back at the start of season 4 it was explained that part of the plan to save Historia was that she gets pregnant to give her time before they make her a titan, so she married a childhood friend and got pregnant so it didn’t look random

Daylen

i think you guys didn't realize the signification of the tree in the end, it's the same path that Ymir took to get titan power ( we already saw same scene with ymir), it's a cycle who may repeat again maybe Ymir wasn't even the first to get Titan power who know

Loris Spada

He could’ve been left like the alternative universe they shows him and mikasa together for their remaining years, and ur damn right I still hate her 😂

did you guys pick up on armins "are you human or are you titan" scene call back to season 1. when the other captain had his arm up and asked that, then he took off his gear and walked throuhg the steam to talk no jutsu

Nigel Douglas

😂

lakewood145 .

You know what you not wrong bro I’ve had this epiphany recently Japan literally made the world forget it’s atrocities in wars with the power of bunny girls and anime it’s crazy out here

AresReborn

not sure if this is how the manga ended but if it was, it really wasnt bad at all imo

Fuji

It’s not horrible at all

DomThaPotato

I believe you were directed to text this to ur mom

Michael Cannon

Bro, this ain't Rotten Tomatoes

Argo2Unitard

Because the author writes a story where the central theme is the cyclical nature of violence / discrimination and how we should break that cycle and then ends the story with the cycle repeating. This implies that it is impossible to break that cycle. One could say that is realistic but that's not true. It's pessimistic and doomer.

Lurkingposter

"Attack on Titan" distinguishes itself with a unique blend of intense emotion and stark rationality, presenting a world where no character is safe from the narrative's merciless reach. It defies predictability, and even genre enthusiasts who anticipate its twists may find themselves engrossed by its bold storytelling. The art style, with its stark contrasts and visceral imagery, complements the narrative's dark themes, enhancing the overall experience. Characters are multidimensional, with a balance of strengths and weaknesses that render them complex and relatable. Their responses to the harrowing circumstances feel grounded in reality, further investing the audience in their journey. This series is likely to resonate with viewers who appreciate a story that doesn’t shy away from the abyss of human nature, all while challenging philosophical norms.

Guts Fire

Nah. Given the options on the table Zeke was right. Eren did what he did to mainly keep Armin and Mikasa alive and his anger about how messed up the world is.

Lurkingposter

welp I am not watching this after the horrible manga ending

frieden

Yes, I did. I just don’t feel that the end product matches up to the character Eren was built up to be. He admitted he sees the past, present, and future and can’t differentiate between them at times. Being all-seeing and choosing to kill 80% of the world so your friends that betrayed your people can play hero like a nuke isn’t coming in the future is wild. He did all of this for eventual peace and freedom, but ended up with absolutely no plan past dying/getting rid of the titans after committing this huge atrocity. Idk, the Eren I’ve been rocking with is not the sad boy that was crying to Armin about dying and being forgotten by Mikasa. Why add that stupid twist that Eren directed the titan stepmommy to kill his mother to save Berthold, we were all perfectly fine without that. Choosing to pivot last minute and highlight some fake ass love story between Ymir and her abuser was whatever as well, not to mention the weird attempt to parallel that with Mikasa’s love for Eren. Also, how did Mikasa make it back to Paradis by herself without being killed by its residents? Finally, I cringed through the Armin/Annie flirt scenes in the final two episodes and was half-hoping Annie would turn to him and accidentally admit to personally killing his family and get decked in the face.

VanessassaryEvil

The Tree at the end looks identical to the tree Ymir fell into when she first discovered Titan Powers. Also Roshi kind of mentioned it but Eren Waking up crying in ep 1 was cause of his dream which was ALL of this, the very first scene in Aot is a real quick flash of memories and spoilers and then he wakes up crying

Vincent S Deluca

@Gloccr I don't see how it's forced tbh. All signs seem to infer that it's Jean. For example, in the credits scenes (assuming the woman is Mikasa) the man had the same hair color/style as Jean as well as outfit style (outfit means little to nothing though).

Solemnity

He was absolutely not talking about the return of the Titans. He was specifically talking about how the violent cycle of human nature is inevitable regardless of which actions is being taken. You're also saying "new chapters" when it's just an 18 page booklet which will be part of the first official art book "The Fly".

Dazzo

@Ocean To be fair, Eren also said he is an idiot.

Solemnity

I was kinda sad as well that they totally forgot about Ymir's backstory... but it's been a while for thwm so can't really blame them for it but still.

Kevin Kovacs

It's fine they forgot about things which is understandable because the breaks that we had in the final season.

Kevin Kovacs

reason why the ending is considered "bad" is because of how poorly the concepts he had for the end were executed. From an anime stand point it can be glazed over with different things like ost, flashbacks, & cinematography but in a manga standpoint when you're reading it out you're forced to see the flaws. There's a lot to digest i recommend watching the manga reviews or reddit posts if u want deeper explanations. In the end Everyone has their own opinions

Kurumi

When Eren says he doesn't know why he did it in the Manga, the scene with his dad telling him he's free at birth is cut between it - I think it makes it much more obvious about his obsession (and him not even understanding it) than the anime But most manga readers didnt get that either and got mad still lol

Kristen Keating

my dude said to prove I'm not a titan. I start eating my hands lol. you see this?!!?!?!?!?! are you not convinced!?!?!?! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh great story. great anime. people who started watching this anime are now like 10 years older. its literally journey bro. now time to be old when one piece never ends!!!!! lmao

KeYo

SSS-tier anime. One of the best, undebatable

Safire

Ain't gonna lie, you kinda spitting, but I still loved the ending.

XJ.

from 12-13 yrs old to a full adult is surreal. What an era to be a part of. I would take and side with Eren all day and everyday. 80% needs to go in real life too lol, saving the roshi, ezzygang,fng, loyalist, tasha gang and etc. #80%

Ethan Vinson

Btw the whole reason for historia getting pregnant was so she didn’t get turned into a titan herself

Wild

Why would u be upset about that? Before that credit showed eren said multiple times it wouldn’t end. Are y’all paying attention

Venus

I wonder how ppl can see that and say eren killed everyone for no reason. The ending just proves it truly doesn’t matter and it’s inevitable. They probably would have just been wiped out sooner if it wasn’t for Eren. He made their numbers equal so they had a fighting chance

Venus

The kid at the end is likely an eldian survivor that will stumble into the tree only to repeat the cycle again, it’s bittersweet.

DJ Muldrow

@Erica No. This person is coping. Mikasa and Jean do not end up together. In the manga they don't show the mans face or mention his name. At all. The creator of the anime also refuses to confirm it.

Venus

@ogking im not debating a person who doesn't what Stockholm syndrome is. I study this in psychology. I don't need help from you. I'm well versed on the many ways it shows up. the writing was just fine. get over it

Venus

Oh no you called one piece mid I am so offended.🙃😤😤that’s why Hunter Hunter is mid Jk would never say that about HXH greatness y’all niggas take anime too much to heart to the point where I don’t even wish better for y’all niggas anymore I hope it kills you. That’s a joke by the way.😂😂😂😂

Jay Voorhees

Im slamming the keyboard on comments slandering eren and mikasa personality/relationship with eachother

Venus

Damn, when’s the new hunter hunter gonna drop Mr. T? I’m itching, waiting for Togashi to cook up a meal

Jay Voorhees

🙃 Google what that emoji means and then put on your clown make-up😂

Jay Voorhees

Bro kinda bitter sweet been watching this since middle school now in college 🥺

Url Robbo

Based ending hater 🙏🏻

Ocean

He talked to all of them. It shows that when they all get their memories of their final conversations with eren after he dies. And We knew why Eren was different because of the powers of course but we had no clue what he was thinking or why he was doing this. He only said he had to. We didn’t know what happened with Eren mentally from the moment he left everyone in Marley

Ian Hover

Love how you purposefully omitted eren's character assassination

Ocean

Well no they wouldn't just start bombing themselves out of nowhere. Obviously there would be conflict in the future. But that was never even Eren's goal to end conflict forever. If Eren wanted to save his friends he literally could have just done a partial rumbling.

Ocean

Love really wasn’t a primary subject in Aot so it being one of the main factors of the conclusion is pretty dumb…

Ryan Ryan

The tree at the end grew to look like the tree Ymir discovered and met the “parasite” that turned her into the Founding Titan.

Jordan

It’s just the cycle of life. Idea that life starts at a basic age, through time builds itself up to a higher point of existence only to destroy itself and start anew. We’ve seen it in humanity.

Arsean Wilbon

Imagine Eren emerging out the ground like toji

B00GIEMANN_

Still laughing at the manga idiots who were mad about Eren not getting with historia and not wiping out the world for his new baby…

Cam Kaneki

Lets be real. Even if Eren killed 100% of humanity, Eldians would populate and then go back to doing what we do best. Killing each other and maybe wiping each other out with nukes. And we dont even know if at the end, it was only Paradis that was nuked. Those could be retaliation nukes because Eldia nuked the world after seemingly getting bodied in the war. The entire world could be in ruins and sent back to the stone ages. Hence why they teased the boy stumbling on that tree like Ymir did thousands of years ago an acquired the titan powers. The cycle repeats. And it'll be Humans vs Titan shifters all over again.

Nononanon

My mom would beat my ass up if I try to argue this one lol. 1000/10.

by chances

Dawg I remember watching season 1 on TV ages ago, when season 2 was just a meme like Half Life 3. Time flies, man.

JohnnySmoke

You misunderstood this. Eren only deleted the memories of paths for the people he talked to this episode. We already found out why Eren changed in the final episode of s4p2.

Ice

THOUSANDS of years in the future sure but that’s like saying life is pointless because we all die at some point

Alvin

Anime only

Austin Flores

for me personally that ending is trash

begang 99

Did they read the manga or are they anime only?

varus ez

I say the only reason i was upset with that ending specifically that end credit is because its going to start over again with the titan powers from erens tree like Ymirs origin story which now that im watching it again I guess it only matter he gave his friends a life to live for and have the future generation carry on so I came to accept the ending more in a bittersweet way. Funny its like the 1st ep title To you, in 2000 years, on that timelapse to restart again.

Jojo_avena

I bet that kid at the end walking to the tree is gonna find that worm thing inside like Ymir did

Tabbs

that’s like centuries in the future doe. And this ending was very realistic because it was always just meant to even the odds and get rid of the titans from the world. War will always be an issue no matter what. AOT was never destined to have a happy ending it just shows the true reality of things which is that the world is just full of pointless easily avoidable conflict.

Children Chase Dreams

Yea, Eren literally created a cold war between equal forces and that was always going to breed tension for centuries.

Barry

bro is really that mad about having the emotional maturity of a 14 year old? no signs of love? have you watched any of the show? do you think the only way love is expressed is by flat out fucking? lmao

dg_2drunk

Props to Sheera for being one of the few that realised that Eren was just a puppet. Ymir didn't really care who else had to suffer or she would have chosen almost anyone but Eren.

Barry

The part that hits the hardest is that through part one of s4 we was wondering what happened to Eren. Like why did he change why wasn’t he talking to anyone. Just to see the whole time he was talking to all his friends cause he couldn’t help it and just wiped their memories

Ian Hover

in your opinion. just because ppl liked it doesnt mean they werent watching the show etc. thats just idiotic

Jalen Holmes

for me the reason the ending is trash is no matter what anyone did side with eren or eren not going though with his plan is that in the end nothing mattered everyone dying etc was for nothing cuz in the end the island got nuked to all hell

ornament875

Ngl, I know Chinese people that want that get back with Japan to this day; it be like that lol.

arnold

She had a family but did she move on? Till the end of her life she still had an attachment to eren, hence the frequent visits to the tree and her ultimately keeping her scarf which quite literally is the symbolism between eren and Mikasa love

Lucky Licks

Not based, continue to writhe in agony knowing your ideal ending wasn’t attained.

Lucky Licks

I'm thrilled you enjoyed the ending so much. This is by far my favorite anime and I'm so glad I was there to share this journey by watching the reactions of you three! 10/10 anime, 10/10 ending, and 10/10 reactors.

Puige Hanovo

I did for his people, not for humanity 🤷🏽‍♂️, eren ended the cycle for his friends long enough that they would die of age, he never meant to save humanity, so in his book he did his job, idk what kind of anime u saw foo

TheGhostlv

Exactly, I was a bit confused first watch but on this second one Mikasa did save the world by showing Ymir that you can love someone but still end them because what they are doing is evil. She had to learn that lesson to let go of Fritz and finally pass on herself with the titan powers. Emotionally powerful resolution to the central problem of Titans

Karabo

With the tree at the very end, it looked like the tree that Ymir got her powers from. Also we never saw that work thing die, so I think now that the war came and Eldians got decimated, it’s time for the titans to come back. But that’s just my speculation

Daniel Fernandez

The kid finding the tree fucked me up, I could take evrything that happened, including the bombing of Paradise eventually, but starting the whole process all over again? Goddamnit. It shows that human behavior is truly cyclical but still , fuck!

Karabo

I get what you are saying and I hope to all goodness that the husband is not Jean because I love that horse face and wouldn't want that for him. However AOT is very realistic, there's loads of people who remarry after losing their true love, it sucks but that's just life and AOT is not scared to show all of that.

Karabo

I feel like after Mikasa's burial in the credits not much of what they show means much cause that shit is like a thousand years in the future at least. I understand the hate lasting for Eldians while they still had titan powers but I feel like without those powers the conflict between Eldians and the rest of the world wouldn't really exist. I think it's more likely they got attacked because it's kind of just the way humans are, like how many countries now feel like they can be on the brink of way and eventually over a thousand years eventually you'll end up with this huge scale conflict like this.

hokeypokey

Facts lol

Franklin Saint

Zeke was part of the reason eren did what he did silly. Zeke killed Erwin and a bunch of people as a game of baseball that goofball is just as evil

szeth

Let me give you a clip notes of the hate Yeagerists not getting their ending, Ymirs Stockholm syndrome Paradise being destroyed. And Armin thanking eren for doing the genocide.(,glad they altered the scene a bit here) Anime ending 20/10

Unsaidrumble

in the manga its jean

Sogeking24

That's such a copout IMO. Figuring out peace that lasts is *hard*, but that doesn't mean genocide should be accepted. Imagine going over to the middle east right now and telling people who lost family on either side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict "Well this sort of thing was inevitable, oh well, nothing could have prevented this. Maybe you should learn to look on the bright side of things" . Like could you imagine? You'd get knocked tf out or worse, and deservedly so. Tragedies like this happen because politicians like Eren just wring their hands and say "there was no other way", but there's always another way if you're not stubborn and fearful.

Gilthwixt

The ending was not trash at all. I can understand that some people may not like it, but it wasn’t terrible. It just left me with an empty feeling because it wasn’t necessarily happy but not sad either. It’s unfortunate that Mikasa had to kill him, but there was no other choice. Although I didn’t start watching attack on titan when it first came out I feel like I’ve been apart of this journey since the beginning. I’m left with an empty and sad feeling that it’s over now 😭 I’ve loved these characters so much. It feels like I’m losing someone I knew in real life 🥲

Olivia S

The people who love it have their own taste, its not right or wrong to have you're own opinion on the ending, but saying people who liked it didn't understand the characters is so pretentious.

hokeypokey

True masterpiece sorry to those who are mad that a "happy ending" didnt happen but this story was never going to be about eren surviving, in the end he was just a slave to fate. It isnt overrated, and it truly deserves its status as one of the best stories ever written.

Jacob Artis

That memory with mikasa and even at that home is what would have happened if she would have told Eden that she loved him but since she didn’t he kept moving forward with his plan.

Armando Moran

Stop yappin

Ashe

Nah bro she literally had a kid and a husband in the credits scene. She DEF MOVED ON

Trent

Attack no titan next generation😂

kim odejar

Did you think she is Eren's kid. I was thinking ad carla has brown eyes. 🤔

kim odejar

Fun fact: The boy at the end found Eren's tree which turned into a massive tree with a mysterious entrance; very similar to the tree Ymir found originally that held the power of the titans. It's a slight implication that the titans may return and the cycle will continue.

Frith the Storyteller

still can't believe that man odelled that baby to keep it from falling

lifeboat

jean didnt do shit why is everyone forcing this random jean shit lmao

Mr T Allery

you literally have mid as ur pfp

Mr T Allery

Yessir

Ryan Ryan

as a yaegerist you didnt understand what eren was trying to even do !

Mr T Allery

levi was prob the most important character what lmao

Mr T Allery

yo, that's literally the same type of tree Ymir fell into. are they tryna say history will repeat itself?

JT

nope she was in love with the king its a twisted love you can do a lot of hurtful things to someone and they can still love you happens all the time in real life.

Mr T Allery

no she didnt lmao

Mr T Allery

nah she died loyal to eren hence why she has her scarf and her saying she cant forget about eren and move on. Also the white flowers she had means she died of purity and innocence

Mr T Allery

Nah, it's because in the manga armin literally thanks eren for being a mass muderder. Also in the manga the fall of Paradis in the future is way, WAY earlier.

Henrique I. Pereira

Based ending hater. People who love it weren't actually watching the show and understanding the characters. Because if they were, they'd understand how much this butchers multiple character arcs, especially Eren's. It just sucks.

Chimpman

I’ll say I prefer how the Erin/Armin conversation went in the Anime version over how it went in the manga version. The anime’s changes definitely made it flow better and made more sense, and was more in character, than how it went in the manga.

Cole

Bro imagine someone showing up and saying you remember that shit 3000 years ago yeh we here for the run back like no I don’t bro I am just trying to do my job I got a computer and a wife and a child to feed taxes are due next month bro I can’t be bothered

AresReborn

I'm gonna yap a LOT here: I'm sorry but no, for me it was bad, specially considering I have the whole anime fresh in my mind due to a recent rewatch. So, why suddenly everything in the plot revolves around love in this ending? Romance was NEVER the focus even ONCE, and there was barely any development in the relationship between Mikasa and Eren IN THE WHOLE ANIME. Eren always saw and treated her as a sister, why does he suddenly sees her as love interest? Also, this ending doesn't explain what titan powers really are, what the hallucgenia (that creature) actually is, it's sad we don't get closure to the nature of titans, but okay I guess? And why did Ymir love her abuser for 2 THOUSAND years? Even for it possbly being stockholm syndrome that's just absurd, and it took Mikasa to kiss the severed head of her half brother so Ymir can end the titan curse? So she didn't learn to move on from watching humans for 2 thousand years? Really? Why is Mikasa the "chosen one"? Eren says "only Ymir knows", and for me that's weak as FUCK. Also, why did Eren development went to the trash? He did all that just because he's an idiot? Then what was the resolve he displayed in his inner monologues? Was that all an act too to fool himself? Like what? Hell, he even posed as a fucking homeless, cut his own leg, pierced his own eye with a bullet, formulated a crazy plan to attack Marley from the inside, had a breakdown in front of a kid because he knew what he was doing was terrible but it was to attain his concept of freedom... He did all that just because he's an "idiot"? I don't buy it. Also, that plot twist about him killing his own mom feels like it's there just for shock value, it doesn't make sense at all given his talks with Reiner at Liberio for example. I'm really sad because it could've been so much more about conflict itself, human nature, Eren's resolve and his concept of freedom, Ymir wanting to be free of her own powers, possibly Historia and her pregnancy as well who got completely sidelined (understandably I guess), but everything was boiled down to "love" somehow, and I bet a lot of people are enjoying it because they probably forgot what happened during season 4 as a whole. Anyway, AOT is and will forever be iconic. As much as the ending tranished this anime for me, still is a very good anime but I was expecting more of Isayama's genius writing that he displayed all the time up until the ending.

Henrique I. Pereira

Yeah I enjoyed it when eren finally dropped his stone cold face and showed his emotions

Emerys

mannn it's really over. wow. love it or hate it, AOT is one of the goats

damnjerick

devilman crybaby vibes

MDLNubes

Ymirs tree is built different

kinji

always took the ending to basically be Eren telling them "ya so this shit never ends its an endless loop no matter what I did it always ends up the same and repeats". Basically this isn't the first time the worlds been destroyed and rebirthed and the boy entering the tree is basically the start of titans all over again. Its an endless cycle that goes on forever. which is interesting because its essentially a story without an actual happy or conclusive ending. Its just a cycle no one can escape from.

Infinity

Matter of fact, never mind don’t reply. I don’t wanna converse because that line of thinking/logic is just…..

Jay Voorhees

Also to expand on this... Attack on titan is getting new manga chapters in 2024... we came so far.. just to wait for more.

Steve

maybe jean or john finally landed mikasa

Zee Wrld

I’m surprised y’all forgot about the big tree at the end 😭 it’s basically how Ymir got her titan powers when she slipped and fell inside a big tree. The guy at the end with the dog got curious and also went inside the tree thus stating that history is always gonna repeat

Nicole Guerrero

I’m just seeing this notification hours later what the fuck how?? ma’am I don’t think you know what the word incel means, I said it in another comment, so I say again elaborate, what do you mean? Are you offended by the word female but not by the word woman I don’t know what’s going on with the Twitter verse or Instagram or all the other places is that like a thing now I’m not up-to-date with the stuff I keep to myself me and mine and that’s it.

Jay Voorhees

I liked the fact that the island got nuked at tye end way in the future. The world moved on for God knows how long. Hell, the place probably got nuked for an entirely different reason and an entirely different plot from a whole different anime because humans are gonna human a fight and kill eachother. It'd like the Nier series where each game honestly barely has anything to do with eachother save for some connection that tells you thousands of years ago this plot point carried over. Anyway, anyone mad at this ending can go watch a Disney movie. Just know that the kingdom or city got nuked in the future too.

Isaac

yea so, I hate to do this, but this shit aint over, notice how the tree had the same opening the original did when ymir found it and "the lifeform", and how Grisha said "Eren, youre a tree" it fucking looped, it all started over, now this new character, who is likely a descendant of Mikasa finds the damn tree and likely the lifeform, also it explains it in the manga but not in the show, the life form just disappeared after the battle, so yea, Eren wasnt talking about a continued conflict, but the return of the Titans.

Steve

Explain lmaooooo! So many braindead takes

Joshua

While I really like and enjoy the ending, I can only imagine the hate concerning why fans didn’t like the ending is tied to the loop and Eren’s motivations. In the end we are to accept that Eren had (and he technically submitted) all his agency & cunning through his conversation with Armin because ultimately Mikasa was the connection with Ymir while he was just her pawn of chaos……..i guess

NocticKid

Where is attack on titans next generations 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Idk

it's okay to have some things you don't like about the anime or ending but I'm talking about the ppl who say this is the worst ending ever...like wat.

StrawHat

The comments hahahaha I can hear the keyboards being slammed HAHAHA

HeyImV

OMG THE TREE IS CRAZY. YMIR GOT THE POWERS OF LIFE FROM THE FUCKING TREE. MAYBE THAT KID WILL ALSO. ALSO THE ANIME ENDING IS EXPANDED FROM THE MANGA.

earthphoenix7068

I think ymir needed to see Mikasa, a lover of a person who is also a mass murderer in Eren, end with the killing of him while acknowledging her love for him, like she was unable to do with Fritz for thousands of years. She needed to see someone do it so she could give up her love and her hold on the world with the power of the Titans, and created all of this for that experience.

Camilo Lemos

I feel like that whole plot of waiting for mikasa was unnecessary. I feel like in her years of transcending through the paths she could’ve came across someone that would have shown her the same thing without having to kill millions of people. It just felt unnecessary in my opinion. I would’ve understood her more if she was angry at the world and being a slave but that just added another layer that seemed out of place and kind of seemed like it was added for convenience

Molly 80

We were shown in the flash backs in s4 of how eren tried to fight fate. For 3 years eren and the scouts negotiated with the azumabito to make a plan. It always ended with historia having to sacrifice herself due to her royal blood. When they crossed the sea, the scouts were interested to negotiate with one of the only groups that empathized with eldians. But during that conference in s4 ep 28 the group said that the sins of eldians of the past shouldn't be bestowed on eldians scattered around the world, who were left behind by king fritz. He said all the united hate should be left on the devils of paradise while the whole crowd cheered. It was after that that eren gave up and left the scouts. The last thing I think your missing is that the end result was decided bc its aligned with who eren is and how he feels. Like when he saved that kid even though he said it would be pointless since he kills him later. He tried to force himself not to do it but due to how he felt, there was no way he would let Ramzi be beat up by those men just bc he dies later on. Its the same with the rumbling. There's no way eren could accept the death of his kind just bc the world thinks they should've never been born

KB

This goes to show why it is important to consume media on your own and formulate your own opinions instead of just echoing what everyone else says. I read the manga after I found out that it ended and I liked the ending back then and honestly I feel like the main reason people said they disliked the ending was just to try to through dirt on AOT because of how good of a series it is. Now I will say they did change some dialogue and "extended" the time skip at the end but the ending is pretty much the same as in the manga the changes just made the ending more digestible. AOT is without a doubt one of the greatest pieces of fiction ever made and I can't wait to see how future authors take pieces out of this story to apply to their own story maybe we will get a series that is even better than AOT in the future so who knows. Also the last scene of Levi and Mikasa going for Eren was animated by the GOAT Arifumi Imai he is the same person that made Levi vs beast in S3 ( and many other scenes in AOT) and he returned for the Finale which is so heartwarming considering he works very closely with Wit studios he also did storyboards.

Julian_lol

Annie saying I'm military police though is the cherry on top. I missed her character man.

earthphoenix7068

Nah fuck that and FUCK Eren! He took out EIGHTY PERCENT all those innocent people and animals all for his fuck ass friends can live. Zeke's plan would have played out better... They could have all lived their lives (the titans however much time they have left) and then when they die then no more titans. Eren was so hell bound on being "free" that he took 80% of the worlds freedom and that's not ok. He could have taken out the governments and militaries for all I care but the civilians have nothing to do with it and I get Ymir was controlling him but HE was still selfish cause it was HIM that screwed Zeke in that convergence realm. (Edit: I'm leaving this up cause I'm not going sift through it, I realized ON MY OWN that Zeke's plan was not it, But I got confused Euthanization with Sterilization. I do NOT want Zeke's plan but if someone like Armin could have come up with a plan to just sterilize Eldians so that they can live their happy last days together never to pass on Ymir's genes again that would have been optimal, happily ever after, but it's like Eren said, a dumbass like him got a hold of a power like that and doomed 80% of the world.)

Hammhoxx

Solid 9/10 anime

Taylor Moon

I think you're confused, since eren didn't know his entire future until he made contact with ymir. Before that he only saw glimpses when he kissed historians hand and zeke confirms this in the beginning of ep 80. So eren at first only saw future memories, that future founding titan eren sent to his father in the chapel. The only confirmed memories we know grisha and Eren saw was the rumbling and Ramzi. So there's no way eren could've saved Sasha. Even future founding titan eren couldn't save Sasha bc she was killed with no relation to titans. You also say the fixed timeline is a theory but its just the truth. Eren says with the founding titans power he sees past-present-future all at once.

KB

When mikasa is sitting at the tree in the end its still been 3 years it was just showing her this time and not the group. Also she said she aint taking off the scarf and im sure my guy eren was cool with that lmao. LOVE this series and yalls reaction to it.

Jalen Holmes

People are saying it’s armin when neither of them expressed any interest in each other. There is a reason why isayama included that dream of Jean and has made Jean hint at his interest for her multiple times throughout the show. I don’t think he would do it for no reason and then show mikasa with a baby and man that looks like Jean in the panel. It’s up for interpretation but that’s what my interpretation was

Molly 80

Also I forgot to mention that what they meant by Mikasa is the one that Ymir was waiting for. Its probably because Ymir wanted to be free. She couldnt bring herself to go against the one she loved. However Mikasa freed her by showing her that even when you love someone, you should be willing to do what is right. The king was an evil tyrant that Ymir should have killed, but she couldnt and didnt believe anybody would kill the person they loved most, until Mikasa came around. Ofc Eren wasnt truly evil but he was someone committing genocide and Mikasa killed him even doe she loved him with all her heart and soul. I also agree about that parasite thing. Yea that Parasite probably reproduced inside Eren and now inside the tree is the same parasite, ready to attach to that child as its new host and bring titans all over again. The child im assuming is in a depressed state due to his nation/race being attacked so it will probably all follow the same events or very similar to it.

PyroPhoenix

If you're talking about who is the father it's bee stated already that it was a random ass farmer she hit it offWith.don't know how people didn't read that

Dylan Culbertson

When did I ever say it was right? It was the most realistic approach as that is human nature we see it in our current society. They would never let eldians live in peace after that. I am addressing the people who said eren did it for nothing so paradis can get blown up but realistically do you think they would let them live in peace regardless if eren is dead or not after that? I know his plan for historia people are always saying what was the point of her baby and them showing that plot point. There was a reason they already stated it multiple times but people want it to be more significance than what it was. They specifically said that the military which was comprised of yeagerists were going stronger and stronger each day. It wouldn’t be surprising if they go back to what eldia did in the past of trying to conquer the world and repeating history. We saw what they did when armin and crew tried to stop them. They were extremists.

Molly 80

OMG YES 😂😂 I loved how so many people hated because they either wanted the yeagerist ending, a happy ending or some other stupid ending 😂 this literally fits AOT perfectly and Isayama is a fuckin golden writer for it. Literally wrapped up the whole show and led it all back to how it started, with a tree and a child finding said tree. Enters the tree and well..we know the story from there thanks to Isayama 😂😂

PyroPhoenix

Also as for Mikasa + Jean 🤔 I hate the idea 😭😭 but its definitely possible because it was foreshadowed that he liked her. I need to zoom in those final scenes to see if it rlly is Mikasa and Jean 🤔

PyroPhoenix

Historia had a baby because Eren told her to. Eren didn’t want the yeagerists to capture Zeke and make Historia become the best titan to go through with the plan. He wanted Historia to live a normal life so he told her to go have a baby so that way they dont force her to become the beast titan. That way he can just use Zeke as his key to unlock the founding powers. As for the last part about leaving Paradis unharmed, that kind of thinking is what causes wars. Blaming an entire race for what ONE individual did is not right, SPECIALLY after it’s been like hundreds maybe even thousands of years. The yeagerists are mostly gone by that point because peace was made. People who hold grudges for what people from the past did are the ones that make the world a mess. These are all entirely new people who have all lived in peace, want to continue their peace and dont even think about harming others. Yet others think its ok to kill them because their ancestor in the past committed genocide? I would never go kill someone’s child because their great great great grandpa killed my great great great grandpa and grandma. The person who committed the crime is dead n gone.

PyroPhoenix

I think that if someone else had a better resolve like armin who had the founding titan power, the future would have turned out so much differently. But because Eren was SO determined to be free and because he hated titans and being enslaved so much, the outcome played out from Erens perspective (to destroy everything so he and his friends could be free). If it was armin, I’m sure the outcome would have been so much more peaceful. But no matter what. History repeats itself. War will always exist as long as people strive for power and control. God I loved this show so much 10/10

Mystie

As a manga reader I didn’t find the ending trash when I read it but I definitely had gripes about it. Also they changed parts of the dialogue for Eren and Armin’s talk as well as leaving out more clues about historias baby etc.

Basedra

I dont think its for sure a descendant of Mikasa just because of the scarf, remember she got buried with her scarf. Paradis gets cold, Eren and plenty of others wore scarfs to stay warm. That’s all it is. Also, Isayama is definitely not the type to make an ending where everything just ends like that 😂 it’s definitely to give it a cyclical ending which is not very common anymore in story writing. Isayama is golden 👌 I love circular stories when they are well written and Isayama did an absolutely AMAZING fucking job writing this.

PyroPhoenix

🔥🔥🔥 ending to a GOAT series. LONG LIVE EREN.

Frederick

Man i wanna cry forever

Aidan Price

omg im the 666th like, is this an omen?

ジェイス「 j a c e 」

I don’t even ship anyone in the show lol. It has been foreshadowed and Jean always expressed interest in mikasa so it wouldn’t be surprising if he pursued her and mikasa decided to move sand crate her own family. In the manga panel his appearance matches Jean I’m just using context clues

Molly 80

That kid at the end is the new Ymir :(

Liam Gilbert

I see what you mean, but i disagree with it being hand holding to present us with eren going through the process of getting to the mindset he was in. It was required to set him up as a villain to lose a lot of his PoV, but with the ending i was expecting to see a lot more evidence of eren fighting fate pretty much. It felt like he accepted(not happily more begrudgingly/angrily) everything a bit too readily for someone that was out to fight the world, the idea of Eren accepting everything from these visions at face value and not making multiple, multiple attempts to change it doesn't sit with me, and i wish we could of seen him do that. I also disagree that writers can't make mistakes if they are talented, i wouldn't consider all of tolkens work perfect when they presented the best piece of fantasy literature to date.

Panda

Hell tf ye glad someone else agrees 😂 so many people hated on Zeke but I was over here like “ARE YALL NOT LISTENING TO THIS SAVIOR???” 😂😂 “PEACEFUL LIFE AND I DONT MAKE MY FUTURE KIDS HAVE TO SUFFER(because i wont have any)??” That’s a win win Thank you glad you liked my “✌️ out” 😂😂

PyroPhoenix

This is fine and all but until Isayama himself confirms whether or not Mikasa and Jean hooked up, that is nothing more than a 10 year old coping headcanon.

Deathbound300

Lupa LMAO "Attack: No Titans" that's fucking hilarious. And thanks for one more Attack on Titan roar at the end :)

Natasha Padparadscha

@Dior, Im not reading allat. Go cry about Stockholm syndrome somewhere else and write paragraphs on anime because you're unemployed. While me and my psychology degree shit on you on you for not knowing what Stockholm is. You reddit incels need to stay off the internet. Stopped reading the moment you started crying like a lil girl about femiinists. Definitely an unloved incel

Venus

no it doesn't semblance love becuase this is debunked during the history of Ymir and how she became to be. therefore it's contradictory to what was told. Stockholm syndrome leading to love isn't LITERALLY love. Isayama is excusing bad writing because he couldn't come up with a better execution. Armin killing IN ORDER to defend isn't the same SIN Eren is doing which is discriminating anything and killing 80%. they are not the same

ogking31

“We is out of here” haha hilarious 👍😂

Jeremy Vargas

I agreed with you!

Jeremy Vargas

the message is there but the execution was not....

ogking31

stockholm syndrome does not correlate to a relationship. there's quite a difference. you're excusing bad writing becasue you cannot explain what the writing was showing.

ogking31

@jay there are female dogs and female plants. a female human is a girl or woman. You hoes keep trying to dehumanize women and its annoying. And your comment sounds like you dont get laid n

Venus

@Kendall Gresham if that's the reason why "she loved fritz" then that's terrible explanation. Ymir's intention was laid out from the beginning and that's to end the curse themselves. but no where does it preceed that Ymir loved fritz outside of just being a slaved to him. That's my point. Or else this is just bad writing to portray an important plot line

ogking31

the fact that this released a month after the whole 7/10 event in Israel is nuts. for me, as someone living there, after watching this finale, it hits close to home. wars never end. the actors change, but the play remains the same. great finale all around. especially loved the musical innuendos connecting to the themes from the earlier seasons.

I VisiBomb I

@Jay this was an incel comment fr

Venus

Would love for them to edit in some response about it in the YouTube video at the end

DrPlague9

@Austin I study psychology and I know how Stockholm syndrome works and then many different ways it manifests. The show did it well, they just didn't explain it in depth. Also Stockholm syndrome doesn't require the victim to be treated well at any point. Something as simple as favoritism could make a victim feel loved.

Venus

Yoooo same I really wanted to hear what they would have said about it all of that stuff that happened in the past to end it all just for them to still be at war and lil boy to go jump into some water in a tree lol

DrPlague9

Ahhhh such a solid ending to amazing series! I've been on this ride with AOT even back before the anime got annouced in 2013. I was reading the manga since the time we used to all it "Advancing Giant" b/c we got lousy translations online LOL We were such a small commmunity and i STILL cant believe how big AOT became! Love this series and 10/10 for me. The ending with the showcase of time skips all the way until the end with the kid entering the massaive tree JUST LIKE YMIR. Time is a full circle.

Benji

Thats not confirmed

near

The kid at the end is a descendant of Mikasa (the scarf being the indication) and them walking into the tree is not unlike how Ymir got Titan powers implying that Titan era might be about to begin again considering Eren being buried there seemingly made the tree indestructible and it grew into the same shape as the tree where Ymir got her power

Ryan McCarthy

@MarceX how about no? I said what i said and so id the caption of this post. yall arguing with your mothers

Venus

i read that chapter and his face wasnt shown, nor was his name mentioned. stop tryna force the jean stuff

Venus

To what Roshi was saying, yes he is right lol Eren is an idiot. Eren did test and try multiple different outcomes that EREN could think of, but EREN is an IDIOT. There is a reason they mentioned that 😂 its to prove the point that Eren is an idiot and for us to imagine the possibility of what could have happened if Armin or Erwin were the ones to wield that power. They could have many plenty of other ideas they could test and see their future outcomes. To explain that last part: Yes Armin and the crew are now part of the rest of the world, they became ambassadors of the allied nations and were tasked with coming up with a peace deal with the Eldians in Paradis because those Eldians were preparing for war to kill the last remaining 20% of humanity (they wanted all 100% gone lol). As we saw, it worked and everyone got many years of peace UNTIL either eldians attacked the world or the world attacked them (we arent showed definite proof of who attacks first). We just see a plane crash into a building in Paradis (9/11 AOT vers.) which then leads to war, basically showing that humanity will always just go right back to fighting each other even after obtaining peace. Now the very very last scene: That boy may or may not be related to someone from the original chars, we have no confirmation whatsoever, it may not even be an eldian since after peace you can assume all the races came together and traveled, etc.. Do you guys remember exactly how this WHOLE story started? Remember Ymir? In her time of need and desperation, you remember what she found and walked into? 🤔 Yep a tree where she found titan powers..welp. Now lets continue, this kid is now entering a tree. A tree very much like the one Ymir found, it withstood time and grew giant, wonder why? 🤔 YEP THE STORY STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN MANY CENTURIES LATERS!! The story is circular, it is a never ending repeat of time. That kid will enter that tree and once again unlock titans, creating a new generation of titans that will be brought to the world by a different race of people, maybe the same? Who knows? All we know is that this story continues to be a never ending cycle of War, Titans, war, genocide, peace, repeat 🔁 (Btw i always agreed with Armin about trying to come up with absolute peace even if it falls centuries later but a good secondary choice is Zeke’s plan) Zeke’s plan basically grants eldians peace for the remaining time they have left, no more eldian babies but they get to enjoy their peaceful lives until they die of old age peacefully. I like it because PEACE TF OUT WORLD ✌️ YALL CAN DEAL WITH YALL BS WITHOUT US HERE. GO TO WAR WITH YOURSELVES WE IS OUTTA HEREEEE ✌️ (much better idea if I was eldian, fuck the world. Let me live in peace and die in peace fs)

PyroPhoenix

Eren accepted his fate though so I don’t see why he would hold on to mikasa. He’s seen the ending probably hundreds of times and his goal was to help them live a long life of peace which he did. I think it would be more on this kids will and who knows if he just harbors hatred towards the world which could be horrible.

Molly 80

That was beautifully sad

Bobby Robinson

This series finale had me in shambles. I was a mess. Such a fantastic series from start to finish.

Earphone Jack

man.. here we are.. BIG W to all my people who been riding with this anime for TEN YEARS and still didnt read ahead. i remember the absolute pain that came with all the burning questions we had back in season 1. We didnt even know if the show would get renewed back then. But here we are. 10/10 mystery 10/10 suspense 10/10 characters 10/10 world building (fuck, and i say this with all disrespect, this universe)

Godrick

The message is that there will never truly be peace. It doesn’t last. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find hope through out all the violence.

Hi How are ya

It’s been three years and y’all still hate Gabi. And ain’t no way you guys thought Eren deserved to go sing around a campfire with his friends after killing 80% of humanity.

Fernando Perez

i am sad that it's finally over. best anime i've seen. no one can tell me otherwise. thank you AoT

Joel Lopez

Honestly the real mastermind is the parasite I know the show is all about humanity’s will to survive but it’s honestly the parasites will to reproduce and live. Ymir is just a pawn in this whole thing. Idc what anyone says mikasa is with Jean especially after he had the dream of them having a child together it was foreshadowed a while ago. I’m glad she moved on but still visited eren. I am surprised the yeagerists let her come back unless she’s in witness protection or something. I definitely think the parasite was still in erens dna bc we don’t know how it works. It kind of reminds me of parasites in animals like passing through flesh or poop just laying dormant waiting for another host. We didn’t even see it at all once the battle was over. I wouldn’t be surprised if it starts all over again but we don’t know what the kids will would be and if he can create a different form of titans to withstand the new technology. Overall I felt like Ymir should have been fleshed out a little bit more and I still don’t know why mikasa would’ve been the one to open her eyes. I wish mikasa got more development as a character she just played the same role until the moment she chopped erens head off and she should’ve had a more complex arc. Idc about historias kid that was so she didn’t become the founding Titan and could’ve ruined erens plan so they made a pact for her to get pregnant and I feel like that’s all there was to it. Plus it just shows the contrast between her mother and her now becoming one. Overall I liked that it wasn’t a happy ending bc that’s not realistic he committed worldwide genocide there’s no way they would leave paradis to just sit there unharmed. This was a long journey but I’m glad it’s finally over

Molly 80

I will always love this anime 10/10 my fav fr

Jalen Holmes

A lot of things in AOT can be hard to understand, but generally do have a reason, its just that the author wont hold anyones hands to guide them to understanding in such plot points. For your case, think of how eren even in this episode said "Even I dont know what mikasa would do", it together with many other moments give you hints to understand the truth, the truth that eren doesnt have omnipotence as you seem to believe, or hed know what mikasa would do, what he sees are glimpses of the future and past, not perfect visions, and this is not the first time this is hinted at. Therefore he mightve simply not seen the detail of sashas death in the limited vision he had at that time. Second thing id like to point out is how eren said he tried to change things numerous times but it never worked, and add to that how he laughed weirdly when sasha died, its very possible that sasha was going to die and he changed things so she wouldnt, but even after he tried she couldnt escape her fate of dying that day, hence his laugh of despair in the face of a future he can see but not change and mold as hed like. Which of the 2 was the case for sasha may never become clear, or it may already be clear through facts I have forgotten about the show, but lets not forget that while we were watching this show for 10 years the mangaka was writing it for 10 years, he wouldnt make such obvious silly mistakes, when he clearly has such amazing writing skills.

不死鳥

I ain’t gonna lie I thought you guys weren’t gonna messed with the ending just because of the fandom outrage or paradise got destroyed but I’m glad you guys enjoyed the ending I feel the same way I appreciate that isayama showed that peace can be achieve but it’s never permanent just like the real world is the same way and small conflicts can start anything and humans are just idiots who are fighting among each other that can be ridiculous or stupid or malicious intent that’s just human nature I love the realism aspect of it but it’s how crazy and baffling that the Yeagerists fans thought the ending was gonna have a way different ending then the manga just because they didn’t like the ending there saltiness purely entertains me lmaoo but I love the reaction and thank for reacting to attack on titan it’s been a ride with y’all

Franklin Saint

What a great end to this long journey. It's wild to think I started this show when I was in middle school and now I'm about to graduate college. 10/10

Kami_Psy

For a moment Now lets think thats what happened. Mikasas entire character is built around eren, her loyalty and love for him makes the husband a second choice. Will mikasa love her husband the same way she loved eren. Is it fair for her husband that mikasa wears her scalf all the time which her ex lover gave her. Is it fair for her husband that mikasa goes to her first lovers grave all the time. Is it fair for her husband that she brings her child at her ex lovers grave. Is it fair for her husband that she was burried next to erens grave and not his? Is it really fair for her husband? Me personally i would not want thats why i think the possibilty of her being married to someone else is really low. Even after her death with the new ending song we see mikasa being united with eren in her afterlife but not her husband. Now ask yourself when all of her life has revolved around eren and even after eren all she thinks about is eren, does it makes sense that she married someone ? Maybe she considers eren as her husband thats why she wears that ring. Its up to you what you want to believe, There are no right answers

Night Wolf

Which part did i miss? Curious cuz its been a while, unless it was from this movie lmao.

What are you even talking about? did u read my comment or u just typing

when they used to race to the tree, Armin was always last & In the end he’s the last one to visit their graves & the last one to die

It’s sad that Eren, the one who wanted freedom the most, was the most chained person in the entire series, along with Ymir.

It’s not that Eren was following Ymir’s plan or anything, it just that he literally could not avoid following though the memories he saw of the future.

GET RUMBLED! STAY HUMBLED! RAHHHHHHHHHH!

Khayta

But that didn’t matter in the end right?

Crab Crab

ahhh ok thanks for letting me know

dawn

The thing with the kid basically implied that it's all going to happen again. It's a parallel to when Ymir fell down the tree and found the titan ability, starting it all.

Khayta

i feel like people that say this just completely forgot season 1-3 😭 eren has never been an emotionless type of person so i don't see how him crying is a surprise? he's always been hot headed and emotional, he said in this episode that after seeing the future, his head became a whole mess so ofc character wise he'd be different in season 4, he's been battling himself mentally all throughout s4 (i.e when he saw ramzi and was debating to save him or not bc eventually he'd kill him either way) when we saw him speaking to armin just like friends again in this episode we got to see a glimpse of season 1-3 eren again. also about paradis being destroyed, one of the main themes of aot has always been that no matter what war and hatred will forever exist as long as there is humanity, even if eren DID complete the rumbling a civil war would've broken out on paradis either way... erwin once said in s3 that "humanity will never stop fighting itself until it shrinks to a size of 1 or less" we've saw in the earlier seasons (especially in s3) that there's always been internal conflict inside paradis, it would've been destroyed one way or another.. eren's goals was getting rid of every last titan and trying to make a peaceful future for his friends which he achieved both! they got to live until old age and eventually died peacefully and titans no longer existed, he achieved peace for a few hundred years until war broke out again and paradis wasn't bombed until CENTURIES later. it's a very realistic and bitter ending

sam

I could write a whole book on AOT lore

jayyyyyk

I think Ymir wanted to see if Mikasa could do what she couldn’t. Put the world before her love.

I think you missed a bit bud

To clarify, Mikasa married Jean.

Insert Fallout “war never changes” quote

Adrian Neal

9/10 ending. I just love how tragic it all gets - the woven interpersonal dramas with the overarching worldly narratives introduced in s3 and expounded upon in s4. And i'm glad there is just a partial resolution and the conflicts eventually continue. there's no such thing as world peace because people will always run into conflict. Much like the conflicts of real life, peace is fragile, forced and fleeting. People putting aside their differences for the sake of the young lives not having to repeat cycles of vengeance and war. But eventually the dam breaks. Through hard talks and compromise, we push forward until we can't reason anymore.

Darren Banks

Eren granting all his loved ones peace for the rest of their lives didn't matter?

Thiivi

IMO it makes sense the ending got hate because its big on feelings emotions and love and anime community really dgaf

Azxree

Damn I’m sad y’all missed the fact that the cycle repeats since that kid went into the tree

Jarron Taylor

we’ve seen hella side characters get real life treatment and die. what made yall think that eren was gonna have a happy ending. his death was going to happen. doesnt mean to hate the ending ts was fye

DatKid_Kaneki

With the island of Paradis being destroyed centuries, if not thousands of years later, while the natural default assumption is that it came due to retaliation from the outside world, I think it is also deliberately ambiguous and vague enough that the interpretation the conflict and destruction came about due to a civil war on Paradis is also a valid one. As multiple characters like Erwin and Kiyomi have been used to orate the theme of conflict occurring regardless of how many people are left in the world. As for the Historia plot-line, yeah that was kinda weird. People kept on assuming that there had to be an additional dimension to it, but really was as simple as Historia got pregnant in order to prevent the military government from turning her into a titan and immediately feeding Zeke to her as soon as he came on to the island (thus allowing Eren's plans to proceed apace).

Theo Vorster

You don't think jumping in front of a spear for somebody implies any semblance love? Even a tragic kind like Stockholm Syndrome? Also Armin didn't just kill soldiers. He killed hundreds of civilians in Marley, including children.

Thiivi

Another Roshi W

earthphoenix7068

The worst part about the ending for me is that some rando kid goes into Eren's tree centuries after Paradis got nuked off the face of the Earth. Haven't seen a single comment talk about it, but if you remember, that's exactly how Ymir got the power of Titans the first time around. So the implication here is that this kid becomes the new Ymir and the cycle starts all over again, which is just incredibly fucked. Basically the author's message is that the cycle of violence has no solution and nothing we do in the end matters - might as well enjoy playing baseball like Zeke until you're eventually forced to commit mass murder in some pointless conflict. I don't find that kind of myopic conclusion satisfying at all; it's not that it needed a happy ending, but as far as downer endings go this just felt lazy. When you throw in all of the other questionable shit everyone else pointed out, like Ymir's stockholm syndrome for her rapist, Historia getting bred like a horse by a former bully, and Eren wiping out 80% of humanity as "the only possible solution", the ending is hard to defend without defaulting to "Dark + Edgy = Good". It's better than the manga at least, thanks to great animation, soundtrack and voice acting, and tighter pacing instead of being dragged out over monthly chapters, but storywise I wouldn't rate it better than 6/10 at most. At least they cut/reworked the line where Armin says "Thank you for becoming a mass murderer for our sake" 🙃💀

Gilthwixt

Idk if I’m just too high lookin into It but the big ass tree eren got buried by at the end of the show looks just like the tree Ymir fell into when she got the titan powers

jeighkup

Legit same here, the episodes were so mind blowing to me even back in season two so I started looking for reaction videos

JayzWrld

it takes alot for companies to get the rights to animate an anime. esp how big attack on titan is and the art work. it was a difficult time for attack on titan to get picked up.

DatKid_Kaneki

They improved upon the manga version with this special. The Entire scene in the Paths was a drastic improvement! If it was like that, then the comments about the ending would have been a bit better

godUsoland

Facts !! I feel like I’m looked down on because I didn’t really like the series and it makes me feel weird like I should like it because everyone else does but I just don’t

TChang23

I agree on majority of what you said

Molly 80

Imo 8.5 or 9/10. Too many weird plot points for me to be a 10/10, but giving a character omnipresence never really felt good to me. It always makes me second guess everything, the easiest one to point out is why couldn't Eren save Sasha. Post omnipresence a lot of Erens actions are so in question and never addressed. The manga community kinda settled on it had to just be a fix'd timeline type thing, but with no context on it not only is that not confirmed but it also feels shallow. And it seems very antithetical to Erens character to not try to save them to have more people there to stop him. That makes the 1-1.5 point diff for me, still one of the goats tho.

Panda

All Eren wanted was for his friends to live long happy lives. People are mad because the whole cycle of violence starts again, but Eren didn't trample 80% of humanity for the world to be fixed, he did it for his friends. Also, the thing with the tree is that people speculate that Eren's remains still held the power of the titans, and that boy that entered the tree after the time skip would become a new founding titan, which is just a theory, but in some way, would make sense.

Max Stone

Historia got pregnant in a desperate attempt to stop Eren, because he was also taking her well being into consideration in his plan. It was her idea that she brought up when Eren told her what he was going to do. Her being pregnant meant the Paradis government wouldn't turn her into a titan, and force her to eat Zeke. She just wanted to buy them time to look for another solution. At least that's how I interpreted it.

Thiivi

I thought I was on reddit for a minute

HeyImV

the anime adaptation fixed my issue w/ the end of the manga

Chance

What is lil bro yapping about 💀💀

iMissDinklebot

YES!!

Night Wolf

Just happy we got to see it start to end tbh.

HeyImV

So glad this depressing ass show is over 😭 I love it, it was a great watch, but I also hate it because all of a sudden it took such a tragic turn. I don't think I've ever cried so much during a show but man it was a good story. It's funny to see that the ending made people lower their points but it raised mine to a 9.7/10. It was perfect. Eren had to go, fuck him, and I'm glad it was quick. No bs. During this final battle, I was 100% expecting someone other than Eren and Zeke to die and I'm so glad that no one did and throughout this entire show, those who lived til the end were able to live the rest of their lives peacefully. This was a beautifully wrapped story can't wait to see what else Isayama cooks up 🔥

Erica Collins

A lot of the issues in the manga mainly came from the dialogue choices which a lot of it was cleaned up in the anime.

RazzyXM

Its just all going to happen again thats why some people disliked the ending because the kid that found the tree is literally about to go through what yimir went through, hes about to get the founding titans's powers

Silva Jin

I think the implication of the credit scenes is that hundreds, if not thousands of years have passed. The war that happened in the future almost certainly had nothing to do with the events of the show. It's just showing how humanity is fucked, and violence/animosity will never disappear.

Thiivi

They actually cleaned this up a bit from the manga. Idk if I missed something but all that during the credits scene I dont remember seeing

Kreative

I enjoyed the ending and I think everything was tied up nicely. It seems like the thing the naysayers are hung up on is Eren saying Ymir loved King Fritz. We shouldn’t even take that seriously cause what does Eren even know about romance? Ymir didn’t love Fritz, she was a slave. She died protecting her “Master” but after she died and returned to The Paths, she was able to choose what she wanted to do. Ymir probably chose Mikasa because Mikasa had more willpower and a way better support system to pull this off.

Kendall Gresham

War... war never changes.

Panda

I feel like it is indestructible, showing that life always goes on. So I feel like the tree is either full of those creatures or once the creature loses its host, it just goes back to that tree I guess.

MarceX

These are my feelings as well. It’s funny that you mention the Mikasa and Jean relationship too. They have her acting like Jada Pinkett, Eren is Tupac, and Jean is Will Smith. In a promotional interview video before the finale, Eren is asked about his idea of what freedom truly is. He basically states that freedom is where everyone is able to live their lives in anyway they want without having to live in fear of possible dangers that can harm them. I believe that Isayama intended to have Eren succeed with the entire rumbling, but chickened out due to possible outrage and backlash from fans claiming that he supports genocide.

RMMonster

I liked the ending. It's very realistic. It's like America and Russia joining forces to stop the nazi's and then after a couple of years they became enemies again.

Danny

I think my interpretation was that this was the only outcome that Eren could have brought. Because at the end of the day, this was a sight HE wanted to see. It was the result of him trying to actualize a misguided idea of what freedom was. He thought he was trying to save his friends, but he was so dead set on the idea that saving his friends meant ‘freeing them’. He tried all the options that he could think of, but unfortunately he laments that he was too much of an ‘idiot’ to come up with more. But Armin tells him that it’s not just his or any one persons responsibility, and I think that’s the point. No matter how much power someone has, they have flaws and that will never lead to a good outcome.

armaan newaskar

right lmaoo?? like majority of people did enjoy the ending

sam

I LOVE the show from start to finish, but people that do not like the show is fair, let them have their opinions. If they really wasted their time watching the show only to shit on the ending, it's all good. Not everyone can be pleased. Did I already say that I loved the show ? Shit, I did... ;-)

MarceX

Honestly, the whole situation with the manga ending is...complicated. first, the ending you guys saw is a bit different from the version monthly readers saw. Also their were like twi different "factions" as to why people disliked the ending or found it middling. Some HATED that Eren broke down infront of Armin like he did and found that it was out of character for post TS eren to act that way. (Which led to a shitty Fix-it fanfiction called AoT Requiem) Others took issue with Genocide being the answer that ultimately succeeds(there was a real goofy line that was cut/change from the manga to the anime where Armin thanks Eren for committing Genocide), pacing was an issue in the final few chapters and if memory serves some found Eren's Lelouch play contradictory. Imo, the anime presented the final chapters in a much better light, but that Chad!Eren likers weren't going to be pleased no matter what.

Jonathan Jackson

Cry more this ending was GAS.

Derreck

I dont think the ending needed to be different for it to be better, but the ending we got absolutely needed to be elaborated on and expanded upon. For example, throughout the final season, all of Erens inner monolog would suggest he's doing this to be free of persecution from the rest of the world that wants to see eldians wiped off the face of the map. Which is weird given the fact that the Eren we saw in the final chapter doesn't reflect the Eren we knew since the end of season 3 at all. Eren in that final chapter went from fighting for the preservation of his people to setting himself up to be killed by mikasa for Ymirs will. I think for the ending to be well receive by everyone or atleast more people, Ymirs ultimatum given to Eren should've been apart of his inner monolog since the beginning. Imagine if eren walking the streets of Marly wasn't thinking about the logistics of the rumbling and its necessity to survive but if there was any way to get out of Ymirs plan and what it means for him and his people. Or while Eren is in prison he's not thinking about fight fight, but about Ymirs love for the king and how else he could break it without having to die. Only to in the end realize that it's the only way. Isayama wanted all of that to be in the ending only which directly changes the themes of the story that proceeded it. And thats why people didn't like it. And if we're being fair can you blame them?

Austin Alexander

If you think that is what Stockholm syndrome is and not just a butchered attempt at rushed romance, then, that shows the inferior complexity of your own love life. Only a chronically online Gen Z feminist who gets relationship advice from TikTok would think that. Go watch the 1967 Polish film Marketa Lazarova (if your brain can stay centered for 3 hours) if you want a good example of "stockholm syndrome" or just stick to being an uncultured waste of sperm able to provide 0 meaningful dialogue to any mature discussion. Imma just say this once and I'm out of the comments cause yall exposing your comprehension levels aren't worth explaining this further: watch better anime, and movies, read better books, etc and you'll gradually come to an understanding as to why certain things are dogshit and what makes them that way. Hope that helps. I can give you recommendations if need be.

DIOR

Most of the hate ive seen is because of mikasa and jean getting together and having a child. if you dont believe me you can go to last chapter in the manga and youll see jean and mikasa together holding a baby while visiting the tree. My horse boi finally achieved the bag so Im not mad at him. i dunno why people are so pressed

Pan Cakes

you consumed this final part terribly tbh LMFAO but nice comment i guess? being unable tor ead between the lines gangy

Sean Espiritu

I started watching reaction videos because of AOT. The episodes were so good I enjoyed seeing that others were having the same reactions to it that I was and I realized it helped me process some of the more complex stuff I couldn't fully grasp on my own. I can't wait to see how this show ages and the impact it has over the years, but man... what a ride and an amazing series.

A. P.

Yeah its true, you can go to the last chapter in the manga, and youll see jean and mikasa together holding a baby while they visit the tree

Pan Cakes

When Eren said the Ymir loved King Fritz, I think he was just assuming that because even he said that he couldn’t tell Ymir’s true intentions. I think that because Ymir couldn’t kill Fritz so she chose Mikasa and Eren to be the ones to end the Power of the Titans. Eren initiated it and Mikasa ended it.

Kendall Gresham

It’s not that serious, but it’s sad that the complete opposite is happening as well, where people who didn’t enjoy the ending, and have their criticisms, are insulted, or ignored as if their opinions hold no value, when they do. If you enjoyed it fine. If you didn’t, fine. I just don’t think it’s perfect like everyone says it is.

RMMonster

Never would I see people hate reactors for not going on a outrage regarding AOT ending 😭😭😭pure comedy

Fizzy

this was beautifully done from start to finish, im not a manga reader and everything was done right imo i dont really get what people thought was bad about it but 10/10 from me

dawn

I’m not here to give a better argument I’m just here to slander. Eren is mid, imagine telling a FEMALE you already told to move on that you never want her to marry nobody, never forget you, keep you in her heart for years crying over her like a bitch. Glad she moved on and had a family even though she give her her husband that Jada treatment visiting 2Pac grave with her kid it’s crazy😂 i’m rambling nonsense now because I generally don’t care Y’all have a good night I’m glad y’all enjoyed this and hopefully the sequel that they’re kind of setting up doesn’t fuck anything up plot wise. Be good🫡

Jay Voorhees

beautiful anime, from start to finish. I feel like the post credit scene where the boy goes to the tree either shows the beginning of a new titan cycle or just shows how wars will always be waged no matter what. Throwing shades on the real life situations. That or both things together, having a potential sequel. Also, I feel like that one scene during end credits where Mikasa went to visit Eren's grave with a kid and a dude, I feel like that could have been Historias man and her kid. I did not know this before but apparently, the white flowers symbolize purity (and I guess virginity in that sense) so she died loving Eren still. I guess she found her happiness in some way during all the time lapse. Even the scarf she kept on wearing, where she is shown in the grave being dead of old age. Shit... it made me start kicking my feet smiling like a bitch with how Eren and Mikasa finally talked about their feelings towards each other in the talk they had in the Paths or rather... Eren showing his feelings and Mikasa just being chill and accepting of it since she feels the same way. I suppose that I am one of those people that just hang on to these relationships in shows like this. It was not even romance anime, yet I still held on to that, lingering in the background of the dark, gory show... romance. After all, it all started by trying to find love/happiness in this cruel, yet beautiful world by Ymir and then by Eren once he got the memories of the future through the power or even before that really... Made me emotional during many of the scenes. Love your reactions yall !

Saint Vakos

I think people who are being disrespectful about the ending are ridiculous but no there are things worth critique in all fairness. The biggest being no that's not how Stockholm syndrome works. Actually properly portraying Stockholm syndrome would've probably made the ending much more appreciative by the larger fan base. And for that to be the case King Fritz needed to treat Ymir better. SS happens when the captive is being treated relatively well by the captures which leads them to mistakenly believe that they're being treated kindly out of love thus love them for it. Which could've easily been done here. But that's all im not hating on anyone who likes the ending at all.

Austin Alexander

Wait, because Jean & Mikasa end up together? I'm anime only so if it's true that Jean ends up with her I'm glad they do because imo Eren didn't deserve Mikasa bro fumbled so bad by not expressing his feelings knowing that she loved him and then had her go through this trauma inducing bs tryna stop him 😭 I know my boy Jean treated her right

Erica Collins

I don’t think they fumbled, but i agree that it did have a lot of generic aspects. I’m satisfied with the end, but it’s not the best. I don’t know what they could done to improve it but overall AOT still has a 9/10 for me 7-7.5/10 for the finale

Jonathan Gonzalez

I'll give it an honest 9/10

Asterkampos

Shoutout to my boy Aaron Yogurt for living his last 4 years in peace with Mikasa and not commiting genocide

Akashi

The anime made it slightly better but still overall a meh ending. Still, the series overall had so much hype and so many great moments, it'll be remembered for all of time. 8/10 for me.

Shockzz1234

Man. Like lupa said. 10 fricken years a lot of us have been following aot. It’s so bittersweet to see it end. But man I loved watching every single reaction of aot from you guys. Makes me sad knowing there is no more aot. But thank you guys for all the reactions and for this crazy journey. I also loved everything you said about Aot as it wraps up. Cuz some people are trippin lol. Aot is goated af and will forever be engraved into my heart.

Rye

I find it fitting that the tree Eren is buried under ends up looking like the tree that Ymir walked into and got her powers. I think it shows that the conflict has started once again.

Lexi

anime version way better than the manga fr. but bro yall didnt recognize the hallucigenia tree at the end, a theory is a little part of it survived in erens head and regained its powers

zILovePelmeni _

The Marleyans retaliating like that's not what started the whole problem in the first place

OD

Correct. It's to show that regardless of what powers are around or who is in control, humans vicious cycle of violence is something that will never stop. However it can be understood as the kid actually having a different reason to explore the tree (curiosity) instead of with Ymir who fell into it due to fear. But yeah, you're pretty spot on.

Dazzo

yea they never showed what happened to the worm lmao

Cameron 鳥

yea, it's a random kid

Desert Penguin

Had the same feeling when I read the last chapter, It's crazy that it's finally over, it doesn't feel real

Tearonex

RIGHT

Dajhaya Jones

At the end, with that little kid walking into the tree, isn’t that how the Founder Ymir got her Titan powers? Where she walked into a giant tree, fell down deep into a body of water, and the blue worm thing was chilling down there? So I think the kid is there at the end to just show the cycle just keeps going and going, no matter what generation.

Sugoi_Boi__

Preach 👏🏽👏🏽

Nicole Guerrero

Wait, do you not want me to call her a female? Is that not her gender? what part of female upsets you, the male part? like the men in women I’m confused, you gotta elaborate. Also, how is that bitch behavior? I don’t know if you’re trolling now cause we were just previously doing slander or you commented this before my slander comment what the fuck you got going on. You know what nah I’m standing on business he wanna cry like a bitch over a FEMALE😤

Jay Voorhees

So what did u find wrong with it?

Ashe

Lmao, the author HIMSELF is the one who said Eren's feelings were familiar in an earlier interview. They don't develop the romance hardly at all prior to the finale, it is out of left field. https://comicbook.com/anime/news/attack-on-titan-eren-mikasa-love/

Stevetheiguana

Watching comprehension 0

Ashe

nah to me the ending was ok when i read it, like quite honestly I couldnt give a shit if everyone but mikasa and eren died but to say they ruined his character is like saying you cant comprehend simple ass shit and even with me not liking how it ended saying its shit is just plain stupid

Guav

@Jay im not a levi fan. i don't understand the hype. I'm a YAEGERIST. Instead of watching tiktok thirst trap edits on levi I watch on the ones for Eren. Give a better argument!

Venus

I'm glad you guys loved the ending! I still think aot is a masterpiece and I definitely enjoyed the ending too! 10/10 W series.

MonarchXIII

Argue with your mom lmao

DrPlague9

It went more in depth for sure which I liked

Nicole Guerrero

What you mean about that?

DrPlague9

No its not go back and read it. Armin finds the shell thanks Eren for being a mass murderer and thats it. No mention of taking blame also, no mention of seeing him in hell.

Kou

The moment I started crying was when Sasha appeared . I glad to the end but regarding to the last images, it could be have a sequel but I love it like that

BiscuitS7

YALL WRITING PARAGRAPHS ABOUT THE SHOW AND IT IS STILL 10/10. You're mad the show explored Stockholm syndrome and you're mad Eren and Mikasa have a stronger relationship than your relationships. CRY about it.

Venus

Facts like I never understood why ppl wanted a different ending, it’s good as it is

Nicole Guerrero

Bro for years I’ve been hearing about how the ending to aot was trash I’m so glad I waited to form my own opinion

Nota-kun

congrats, you found out what Stockholm syndrome is

Venus

I cried so many times during this final part! Literally had to wipe tears away so I can read the subtitles. 10/10 Ending to a Targic Love Story

ShaquanVirse

literally it was amazing to me

Marshall Lee

it’s exactly the same 😭 what r u talking ab

Marshall Lee

Just because some of y'all didn't like the ending doesnt mean everyone is gonna feel that way, people like what they like so move on 🤷🏾‍♀️, it was never that serious to be getting into full arguments or bashing people for liking it.

BlueSmurf

Honestly will never understand the hate for the ending, Isayama cooked for a decade+ and did not disappoint with the finale. This will forever be in my top 5 anime and i do not ever see it moving

JayzWrld

They changed a lot of the conversation between Eren and Armin, that conversation in the manga was really bad.

Kou

Eh predestination is kinda a meh way to have led the story overall

Charlie baker

@fizzy hes asking cuz hes under peoples comments harassing them if OT is their top 5 anime. I know he watches I got reincarnated as a slime

Venus

[BIG THEORY AROUND THE INTERNET] Great read👍🏾 The way Yamir stayed building Titan's for 2000 years because of her love for king fritz, hence what Eren figured out. At the end of the episode after credits of the young boy, entering the tree, it could be the meaning of the cycle, repeating itself. Now that young boy who entered the tree will be eventually meeting Eren Yeager🤯🤯🤯‼️‼️😯  Just like Yamir, it is now Eren Yeager love for Mikasa that will keep him bounded.

Lockstepmind

your review became braindead when you said Mikasa has no personality outside of Eren and then when you tried to say Erens feelings are familial

Venus

Or some people actually liked the ending. Like it is not that deep

BlueSmurf

Forreal 😭😭

Nicole Guerrero

You gotta factor in all the shit that happened in between. With it having budget issues to it switching studios.

Hi How are ya

I’m saying I thought it was fine, I personally never like the whole ‘it was all predetermined from the beginning’ angle in media in general but as far as it was executed here, it was fine. Some issues here and there but that isn’t the point lmao

EJB

🫡 never a bad time for good slander Levi was an irrelevant side character at the end🤷🏾‍♂️ argue with yo momma

Jay Voorhees

Your complaints make no sense. You’re complaining about nothing lol.

Hi How are ya

So they wouldn’t make her inherit the titans cos she had royal blood like zeke

EJB

People here writing long ass thesis like pharagraphs as if their graduation is depending on it 😂 just shows how people really are invested and love the show despite our differences on how it ended. Lets just all be thankful for Isayama for this fun and wild 10 years.

SeriouslyJet

What didn’t you like about the ending

Hi How are ya

Divisive ending aside, it really annoys me when people say ‘the people who didn’t like the ending must’ve expected a happy ending’ etc. Idk where people get that from, I personally think the anime handled the ending much better than the manga, but why are people not allowed to have different opinions. If people still think it’s trash I’m sure they have their own reasons, same for people who think it was perfect. I swear some people got some superiority complex thinking their OPINION is facts and everyone else MUST be a hater or a fanboy.

EJB

I mean, if this was always the plan, you would be able to start the rumbling before any of these motherfuckers are prepared to fight you like that would be the perfect time to do it. Nobody’s ready to take you on all your friends are still kids. The only problem is can he activate the wall at different sections specifically so that he doesn’t kill his friends by accident? Does the rumbling require every single colossal titan to be there or can you just keep the ones that are in the inner wall dormant🤔

Jay Voorhees

is it yours? @tacoloco

Venus

Manz been through a lot, he didn’t even care anymore 😭

Nicole Guerrero

you're mad cuz Stolkhome syndrome was explored in the anime? chronically online asf

glad this is over tho but its crazy how many plot wholes this nigga issyama left like damn you got regular niggas FIGHTING titans and SURVING with no consequences imo everybody got a Disney ass happy ending except for the mc, the writing was very edgy.

one piece has some of the worst art ive ever seen. i know you baiting me but i cant resist some good slander

Venus

Why they make historia have a kid again?

Crab Crab

You are waffling 💀

Omega Kyo

Eren said to Armin that the titans still exist, so im assuming the end where the kid walks into Erens tree is the beginning of a new cycle, 10/10 show fr

Buddha

AOT is mid🙃 Let me get sum one piece hate I’m definitely not bored and seeking attention😂😂

Jay Voorhees

10/10. cope if otherwise, AoT is peak

Newerk

I just want to thank you for your honest opinion guys. You either hate or love the ending. But we can all agree how good the show despite our difference in opinion on how it ended. Just seeing how people are so passionate on their takes on this very last episode shows how people are really invested and love the show. It was a long fun 10 year ride and I myself am appreciative to Isayama for this masterpiece.

SeriouslyJet

the whole power of titans and stuff started with Ymir walking into a tree . the cycle will continue

Xitlaly

Not Ho-oh LMAOOO

This anime so good the writer for this knew what he was doing no matter what at the end of the day humans will be humans and the conflict will never end until we ALL go extinct it’s very sad 😞 but it’s true 🤦🏾‍♂️

Eren did nothing wrong gang !

The way that Levi didn’t even react when he lost his foot lmao

Khayta

Nostalgia always wins out sadly glad to see this series finally end honestly

TChang23

Lol u have your opinion and i have mine

kingBD

I'm ngl them swords always be breaking that's why they keeps spares but the fact they aint break after sustaining hits from something 200x your weight is crazy but the one time this nigga Levi is scrapping w titan them shits become literal vibranium. I bet alot of yall niggas aint catch that.

Gunny

i think people were mad because there is speculation that Mikasa ended up with Jean , and that war happened all over again so it was all for nothing.

TONYHWK2021

nope

Simple Name

Eren lol 😆 dang auto correct

LiquidXGravity

He never reciprocated his love to her to her. You can’t just say it to your friend and not to the actual person. Also why not compare them? Both a fucking psychotic murders who had too much power. But wasn’t saying Eren and Fritz were the same. Just having some parallels in their relationships(not the rape stuff) is all I was saying.

Moisty Justice

Facts I’m still salty she made it lmao

TChang23

Dior is mad cuz their fav anime cant top AOT

Venus

Not arguing, agreeing!!! 10/10!!!

Natasha Padparadscha

Naw what I can’t understand he can see the future and stuff well he know it’s his fault right just because U can see the future doesn’t mean u have to act on it and plus he talking about there is always going to be war common sense every one doesn’t get along he should know that my boi got power and went crazy ! Also the tree thing that tree is how Ymir got her power now eren is the tree which mean the cycle continues that boi is about to awaken the titan power again like dang.

jayyyyyk

That’s Shield hero bro you haven’t seen that? You not fucking with that?😂 it’s got some very adult topics in there similar to AOT.

Jay Voorhees

@Jay the fact that you refer to women as females is the real bitch behavior

Venus

I never compared Lelouch to Eren you did I already told you I don’t care. Eren went out in one of the most dog shit ways possible Lelouch didn’t that is all idc what anyone says or believes that’s my opinion

Yeh2001

What the hell would activating the rumbling back then have accomplished?

Fernando Perez

I was also never a fan of past shifters joining the alliance to stop eren it always seemed so corny to me like all these people coming back to life to stop eren made no sense

TChang23

since when did i glaze the ending bro? you've been bitching for over half an hour in the comments coping that people have different taste

Syuri

I have watched Code Geass, one of my favorite shows actually, but Lelouch and Eren are not remotely comparable in anything besides the shows’ endings. Lelouch grew up under vastly different circumstances and had different motives. Saying “idc this is an anime” just sounds like you wanted Eren to be Lelouch 2.0 and not his own character.

Fernando Perez

People including me don't like the ending because it reverts everything that was developed through the season. It's not trash but I didn't like it. All that character development of becoming a war torn emotionless Eren and he ends up crying. He said he didn't want to jeopardize histories descendants but Paradis was destroyed anyway and it just felt a bit rush. Im sure some people will enjoy this ending but yea the Manga fandom were very vocal about it. I think its just bad not the worst thing to exist like some exclaim.

Burning Talons

Idgaf what anyone’s says I understand the message they wanna tell us stop wars and all but my boy eren shouldve lived and Gabi K he should’ve at least got her bitch ass 🤣🤣

payasoloco

I wanted him to keep going then kill him off and have him feeling no remorse about it. That’s how I wanted it. He did what he had to do for his people, not over here crying about mikasa after telling this chick to move on, then talking about how he forgot the reason why he even wanted to do this in the first place that’s dogshit writing. “ I just know I really wanted to do it” what nigga🤦🏾‍♂️

Jay Voorhees

Bro I feel like someone close to me died, I can’t believe it’s over man

Leandrosioty

In a series devoid of meaningful romantic development, let's make that a central theme of the ending. Ymir "I can fix him!"

Stevetheiguana

Says the guy crying in the comments

DerpyPotato

i think a lot of ppl are just mad at the ending being that the conflict never stopped n possibly the titan cycle will start again. i think.

mal

Yeah I have no idea what was trash. Shit was peak milord.

Ginger Dwarf

stop trolling

DIOR

Ok? Idc what he is this is an anime and I believe you haven’t watched Code Geasse to say “he’s an 18 yo kid” Lelouch was one as well it was refreshing to you not to me I read the manga ages ago my opinion about the ending are not changing keep yours to yourself lol

Yeh2001

Eren literally could have had Dina eat Bertholdt and then they would have a titan shifter of royal blood and the founding titan (grisha at the time) and they could have just activated the rumbling then and there. Then there's the whole "I tried countless times and this was the only way to save you guys" which just straight up isn't true. It's just an excuse for the story to go a certain direction

Ocean

Putting Rape in quotes is nuts😂😂

Jay Voorhees

Levi saved by plot once again first the thunder spears now this nigga sitting here parrying/blocking a jaw titans claws the same claws that can break threw titans hardering and he’s blocking/parrying with a sword that broke when they tried to break it open to get Annie ok bro 😭

Kingmakaii

You spitting Sosa💯🫡 Eren is mid and will always be mid. W Mikasa for killing that bum

Jay Voorhees

Eren is a 18 year old kid who up till season 3 just wanted him and his friends to be free. Seeing all the visions at the medal ceremony fucked him up drastically. You don’t just go full badass mode after that. There’s no way he was genuinely gonna be ok killing the entire world. Seeing him vulnerable was refreshing because that felt like the true Eren that had been hiding behind this “kill or be killed” front he had since the start of the season.

Fernando Perez

PEAK W

Ben2730

My biggest issue was the eren killing his mom plot twist brought it down to an 8/10 for me also don’t think Reiner and Annie should’ve made it but isayama wrote a great story nonetheless

TChang23

And just a tldr incase you understandably dont want to read all that. I think the ending could have worked a lot better if it was actually fleshed out instead of shoved all into the final chapter and framed as a plot twist. Because that's what Isayama wanted to achieve here. A plot twist ending that took us all by surprise. Which only works when you actually plant the seeds of the twist

Austin Alexander

As a yeagerist I do not see the issue with this ending lol

Just cuz you started watching this shit when you were 12 and it was your first anime doesn't mean its immune to criticism fucking mindless drones 😂

DIOR

No that's not it at all actually, what we got from the ending was poor writing in my personal opinion. But I do understand and respect that people still loved it. So I've been wondering for years what would've made the ending better without changing the core themes Isayama set out to write. And I think the majority of it boils down to Ymir. Her character needed at least another 3 chapters of actual character analysis for the final chapter to make sense. I think a change that needed to be made was King Fritz not treating her like shit after enslaving her which creates an actual psychological dynamic that we see in real life where a captive person can fall in love with their captures because of how they're treating them. If Isayama didn't want King Fritz to not abuse Ymir till she broke Than fine, still should have absolutely expanded upon her dynamic with him. Why not make it believable? Furthermore, I cannot accept the line "only Ymir knows" as a reasonable explanation for one of the biggest moments in the entire series. That's just unacceptable from a writers standpoint. Now, we can infer why mikasa would've worked because her breaking her love for eren and slaying him gave Ymir an example of how to move on from her own love... but that doesn't answer why it had to be Mikasa? No way Eren and Mikasa was Eldias first ever toxic love dynamic in its history that Ymir could've drawn an example from. To make this work I would've preferred Ymir to not love King Fritz himself but as a slave, loving the false sense of security that an authority figure is giving her. That makes her dynamic with king Fritz much better and would give her a reason to fall for Eren in the same way when he "freed" her thus also giving a more understandable reason as to why she's providing resistance against the alliance. I actually think that would've made the ending 10x better for me without changing the core aspects Isayama wanted to tackle

Austin Alexander

Bros crying about an ending. Wake the fuck up you got a job to attend. Lil bro out here thinking hes a better author . Please write something in your life which starts end ends well then we will listen to you , else stfu man ain't nobody wanna see u cry in the comments

Right. I'm not saying the show was perfect nothing ever is but every time I see someone acting like this was the worse ending in fiction I just can't see how it is that hated.

Tyler

8/10 series. The last arc really brought the entire manga down for me and MAPPA could only salvage so much. Still an incredible ride writing wise for the majority of its run, but you can tell Isayama wrote himself into a corner and he outright lost steam.

Champion Bescos

AGREED.

VanessassaryEvil

3/10 on this ending, man. As a yaegerist, i was feeling like that Arthur meme the whole time.

VanessassaryEvil

im so glad you responded! i was literally waiting for you to reply this so i can change my mind omfg thank you!

madmax

(Part1/?) Fun fact- the babys mother (in the black and white scene) was seen in special 1 when eren was walking through marley and he noticed a pregnant woman who reminded him of his mother and what she would think of the situation....and the scene was inspired by Schindlers list (movie). -and for those who may be confused by the mikasa and Ymir connection. Mikasa is essentially Ymirs antithesis. If you think about it the two are very similar. Both lost there families and were going to become slaves, but luckily for mikasa she was saved by eren unlike ymir. They both end up loving men who can be considered evil in general terms. But, while ymir stayed passive towards the atrocities her love commited, even helping in some. Mikasa instead decided to fight her love and stop him. Making the choice Ymir wish she had (for example the scene before she passes showing her grieving while fritz was instead struck by the spear.) Thats why she was the key. Ymir was waiting for someone whod be able to do what she couldnt and 'free' her and eren from her deathless state and Erens ambition of freedom. (There is a lot more but imma give the bear minumum of this part for now) ---as for the kid at the end credit. He is just some kid (although a few belive he's mikasas descendant simply because of the scarf its not confirmed) he enters the tree and most likely comes into contact with 'it'....but remember zekes convo with armin explaining due to her desires and fear of death she gained an immortal body and place without death to match. I believe depending on the boys desires and wants he could gain anything really, doesnt necessarily have to be a titan. And during the credits Mikasa was seen visiting the grave with a man and child. There are 2 popular theories for that, 1 that its jean and she has his kid (but ofc doesnt forget eren as she dies with the scarf still on) 2 she visits with armin and the kid is someone she adopts from historias orphanage. (Neither are confirmed and in fact a lot of manga readers were waiting for the ep to adapt it to see which it actually was.) If anyone has any questions feel free to ask, ill answer when i can

I don’t know if I would call Light an anti-hero…

Why would I not repeatedly address a well-documented aspect of this series' horrible ending? You're slow as turtle shit if you want to pretend these things didn't exist in the story simply to glaze the ending. Nigga put RAPE in quotes is insane 😂

DIOR

Bro watched the anime on mute and with his eyes closed

sosa

7.3 is such a specific score I’m crying. What made you deduct 0.2 points from a 7.5? 😭

Fernando Perez

Comparing Eren and King Fritz is crazy lol. Also, where did you see that Mikasa’s love was not reciprocated? Eren was crying to Armin that he didn’t want to leave her or have her move on.

VanessassaryEvil

@Miekala why I watch their reaction? Because they make shit funny.

YungZeus

L opinion

sosa

Never said it didn’t the ending was just better in my opinion the problem I have with AOTs is the fact that he regretted every single one of his actions at the end that’s all. I like vulnerable characters but that was too much for me I prefer honorable and strong willed characters the most

Yeh2001

Best Anime to date

Blast

In my opinion, this show was a 9.5/10 for me. The only problem I had was the overall time it took to finish. This show aired in 2013 and ended in 2023.

Kumi Chan

Thanks Eren you totally got rid of the titan curse 😂😂that sequel gonna drop and all your hard work didn’t mean shit

Jay Voorhees

yayy!! i really liked the ending and how they wrapped up this amazing and emotional story, in the end they showed the realism of this story and how bitter it was going to be, there was never gonna be a "good" outcome from this series whether that be eren completing the rumbling or some other fanmade endings i've seen people come up with lmao... 10/10 for me

sam

No like any criticism is genuinely just how eren isn’t some cold blooded character and the dad to historia’s baby. And he has no regrets or flaws

Moisty Justice

You proving my point lol. You niggas genuinely don't have the mental capacity to comprehend why this ending is bad because you ain't familiar with the reasons that it is.

very bold claims

Kumi Chan

They never have a good ending. It’s for sure critical of what we have but we all know what they want. Cold blooded eren who has no flaws and is somehow historia’s baby daddy

Moisty Justice

Still never understood how Niggas was saying Eren better than Lelouch, where bitch, where. I am glad AOT anime is finally done

Jay Voorhees

"Ymir once in her life never witnessed a healthy form of love" SO SHE NEVER LOVED FRITZ and was only sticking by his side because of syndrome... you're explaining and excusing bad writing that was created here. As I said the whole sequence with Eren already contradicts she was never hinted to loved him. She was never asked and was ordered to do so because SHE WAS A SLAVE, but that's different than saying "she loved him". That do not correlate. So her MAKING a choice, literally means she wanted to do things by her own accord right? and THIS EPISODE SUDDENLY saying "she loved fritz" CONTRADICTS that.

ogking31

First off I wanna say the anime was amazing, still 10/10 and I think it can be safe to say it defined a decade of anime and just entertainment in general. I still have my issues with the ending and I’m hoping we can all have a discussion here without needing to attack anyone else for differing opinions, let’s be adults please: First issue is the conversation between armin and zeke, that still kinda doesn’t make sense to me since zeke has been there for some time seeing humanity and learning about how destructive we are and how death might be a form of release from it all. I don’t mind him changing his mind I just don’t see how the conversation with armin would accomplish that. Like it shouldn’t have any effect on someone who’s been able to see humanities history. I think it would have been better in my opinion if it would have been mikasa and if it was somehow connected to what Ymir was trying to accomplish, that way he would have seen that there’s more to what is happened than what eren is up to and it would make the whole mikasa and Ymir thing make sense and not seem so out of nowhere. The second issue is the conversation between Eren and armin, we have seen through the entire manga and anime that eren is a character that won’t let anyone, let alone fate, decide his life or future. He has been fighting against it all this time. To then see him say that he’s just been following what Ymir wanted him to do just kills his character for me. There’s legit no valid reason for that, it’s probably my only issue that I can’t see anyone properly justify it (my opinion, some of you might have forgotten or just choose to ignore that part of his character but it’s probably the most important). The anime did it better for sure and now that it’s been years since the manga ended I don’t think I care as much as before, I’m just happy it finally got to the ending. Other than that, I still think it’s amazing and deserves the flowers and respect it’s gathered

Drakuse

@Danger Tomato Genuine question, do you just hate anything that’s popular? I swear I see you hating on every show this channel watches lmao

Fernando Perez

how so if you don't mind me asking?

sam

Niggas in the comments rushing to cosign that the outrage for the ending was biased or nonsense shows the critical thinking level of most anime watchers lol. You sat through some bullshit about how a 2000-year-old rape victim is in love with her rapist this entire time and the power of that was the key to saving the world then called this shit a masterpiece despite the entire plot and main character being deconstructed into American media levels of bad writing. Not shocked when most of yall thought Vinland Saga 2 was worse than the first season and attention spans can only accept battle shonen.

DIOR

What is bruh saying 💀

Fernando Perez

Ymir has never once in her life witnessed a healthy form of love or healthy relationship. Of course it’s a form of Stockholm syndrome. She’s a fucking slave who never knew love, and the only form of love she saw or understood was giving and never receiving it back. She grew up all kinds fucked and you don’t think when she received the slightest form of perceived want from another human, especially her King, that she wouldn’t she wouldn’t feel love? Of course it’s all kinds of fucked up but she couldn’t let it the fuck go. She thought maybe in death I can make him proud only to find out 2000 years doing his bidding is hell. She’s was never asked what she wanted. Never made a choice for herself. And the moment she makes a choice after years of being in a hellish limbo she lashes out in anger. Helping the one person who finally asked her what she wanted

Moisty Justice

Ymir let herself die from a measly spear throw, essentially being shown as losing the will to live. If she loved Fritz so much, why did she give up so easily? It's almost as if her being in fear of Fritz and stuck in a submissive slave mentality and viewing death as an escape from him makes more sense. Eren had this big scene of breaking free from his chains to save Ymir from the 2000 year curse, even having that be the episode title. Sike guys, that actually meant nothing now, Mikasa was the chosen one because reasons, only Ymir knows. No other woman in 2000 years ever broke free from an unhealthy or abusive relationship that Ymir could have looked to for inspiration? Not a single person? It just HAD to be Mikasa specifically, and you had to orchestrate 2000 years of titan suffering, 80% of the world dying, just to test this one person? Eren could see the future, supposedly multiple possible outcomes too that he mentioned, hence Ymir could too. Ymir couldn't have just seen a possible future of this and been satisfied and gotten rid of all the titans? Guess not. How did Mikasa trek over an entire continent that got rumbled, no forests, no wildlife, with no food or water? I guess only Ymir knows. How did she travel across a whole ocean? Only Ymir knows. Why would Paradis Island allow Mikasa to return at all when her and the alliance had betrayed the Jaegerists? Why was there a whole giant sub-plot of Historia having a baby, and then never having that mean anything in the end? Why did Falco have a vision of flying around in ODM gear on the walls in Paradis in the beginning of Season 4? And Eren, the character with the most drive, determination, and perseverance in the series, who's willing to go to insane lengths to achieve his goals, is just like yeah idk why I'm doing this, only way I guess. Eren had very clear reasoning and established goals both before and after the timeskip, but I guess those don't really matter anymore. Eren even has a discussion with Pyxis in Season 1 about a non-human force attacking humanity that would unite everyone against it, akin to his whole plan of being the devil of the world, and Armin and the gang be the heroes stopping him. Eren himself in Season 1 says it's a stupid and overly optimistic idea that wouldn't work. The sudden reveal of his affection for Mikasa is out of left field, because there's never any real romantic development or chemistry between them. Isayama himself previously said that Eren's feelings towards Mikasa were more familial, like a big sister or a motherly figure. Mikasa gets shafted in the series, despite being shoe horned into being the chosen one of sorts. She gets no meaningful character development in the entire series, her personality devolves to just "Eren", "gotta rescue Eren". And when you finally think she lets him go, nope not exactly, she "moves on", but still wears the damn scarf and chills at his grave for who knows how long. Like, supposedly she marries Jean at the end, which is just sad for Jean, like bro you're just 2nd pick because of circumstance.

I feel like these people genuinely thought Eren was gonna get to go back home and sing kumbaya with his friends lol

10/10 For Me. A Tragic Love Story

ShaquanVirse

To those who hated the ending so passionately, I'm curious and wondering how you want it to conclude? not a rhetorical question. Just want to hear your honest opinion.

SeriouslyJet

nah bro, they fumbled, Aot was the first anime I've ever seen back in 2015 when I was 13 bro, to read those last 3 chapters as they were coming out, and to now see absolutely nothing expanded on to at least fix something, man, anything in the anime. This ain't it chief, AoT I just cannot recommend it now. All that time invested into the story only for it to go out generic, it just doesn't make sense man.

Kuro

they had to make the part with mikasa and jean getting together and having a child, tiny in the ending credits LMFAO. thats why so many people were mad at chapter 139 in the manga.

Pan Cakes

8/10 anime for me

Lūthér Hölâyèãhmé

I thought I wouldn't like the ending based off what I'd heard but imo they definitely stuck the landing with this.

Ougi

They did the Code Geasse ending but shitty

Over 100 including manga aswell why you asking?

Eren succeeded in his goal got a long peaceful life for his friends and that’s all he needed

Is this your first anime?

tacoloco

My man eren made sure nobody could fight back for a couple thousand years

eren1320

Not really, yall anime onlys and your recency bias are clueless to the post-ending lore that validated every complaint. The disdain for the ending culminated pretty much every chapter after Eren's head got shot off, and it's for very nuanced reasons that I'm sure yall are too illiterate to fully comprehend. The nigga took aspects of the ending from a rape-NTR hentai.

DIOR

Bro said "Just attack" and "Attack NO titan"

danial javady

Exactly. Ymir saw someone who loved another just like she did. Someone who didn’t reciprocate that love. But mikasa was able to let him go and do what she needed to be free

Moisty Justice

Even though this ending wasn't my favorite I still respect it because it fits the whole theme of AoT. 7.5/10 for me overall.

Devin B

Been looking forward to this my yams are ready

Vanilla

light’s ending was only trash if you were ever delusional enough to not think that light was trash

Mrlanie

There was a faction of redditors that wanted Eren to wipe everyone off the face of the earth or the side where Eren gets it on with Historia then pulls deus ex machina. Each of the those factions equally shit. This ending makes more sense then the fan fictions above lol

BruLee

I could say the same for people who don't complain. Tbh I hate the ending. But im not going around complaining about other people who do or don't hate it. Still a top anime imo

Fooni

How was lights ending trash? He had the perfect ending and that niggas true colors was shown

Yoxxhio

dude i cant imagine a better ending....end credit scene got me crying

Orlando

Yehhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hasnain Khan

Well that I agree wt. I also don’t think this ending was entirely perfect but this doesn’t bring down the whole anime. I think the anime that are closest to perfect are FMABH and AoT at like a 9.5, death note would be a 10 if the second half wasn’t such a mess.

Hi How are ya

I think a little bit of mental math is all that's needed to make sense of the ending. The entire story was determined from the start, time convolution explanation not worth the time (this is anime just live with it). Ymir loved fritz but could never bring herself to kill him, or take action against him. She saw this in Mikasa because it was essentially the same metaphor but she was actually able to take that action (killing eren). It certainly wasn't the best ending but tbh how do you end this show? The love part is whatever but I think the overarching message was in the credits showing that no matter what human conflict will always arise. Eren technically got his goal of ensuring everyone got to live long lives, but hundreds of years later, much like real life, new figures of power, new ideologies, it all came back full circle to create new clashes. I WILL NOTE THOUGH AT TIMES THIS WAS GIVING SERIOUS MARVEL VIBES AND IT SORT OF RUBBED ME THE WRONG WAY.

Ryan Ott

10/10 anime people really tried to gaslight us thinking the ending was bad lol.

Fizzy

It's not the ending, all of this was stupid.

Danger Tomato

Lelouch for me because Eren became an anti hero late in his story and Light's ending was trash. Lelouch accomplished his goal and ended things on his term.

Devin B

people who complain about this ending just want to be different lmaooo

W ending

Emerys

She always LOVED HIM? since when? the series has never portrayed their relationship AS SUCH until this shitty sequence happenened. in fact it contradicts the whole 2000 year command given to her by Fritz and had a moment with eren saying she doesn't have to do it anymore and was crying out of anger. that isn't something out of love towards fritz. that's stockholm syndrome. She saw in Mikasa BECAUSE WHAT? that doesn't justify it either, considering my point above the author NEVER expanded on why or how Ymir loved fritz and was only doing so because of syndrome. Actually eren literally stated during the table scene that he was TRYING TO find a way, what do you mean he didn't care? that makes no sense and the whole motivation to his goal of seeing all past and future.

Jack in the box

People said it was trash cause of the ymir stuff and this being a love story, everyone being so cringe like eren and mikasa, thr fact it didn't even really matter in the end, and yeah stuff you eventually get over and enjoy more animated for the spectacle of it.

TrixieTurner

When i read this years ago i was crushed and sad 7/10, but not only did my perspective change this episode had some nice extra things not in the manga. For the amazing story and the ability to make you forget what show you are watching (S4) and again with the prologue 10/10 Also when i see this scene i think of this show 1:27 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVTD-LtpW0M&ab_channel=DisneyPlus

Oliver

not a fan of the ending but i'm happy to get to finish the show can't believe we are finally at the end!

Artdysmal

Glad yall like it. Still objectively one of the worst endings of all time. All because Isayama decided to rip off Muv-Luv 1:1, get an NTR fetish from watching too much porn and became obsessed with MCU movies. 7/10 series.

DIOR

Let's see why it's trash, Ymir was never foreshadowed to loving King Fritz and was a enslaved and was forced to being breeded on by him. Her loving Fritz contradicts eren's conversation with her of letting it go, but since it's love surely she just stays the same right? but no it was heavily implied she was forced to. Armin saying they are going to hell together, for what? because Armin was trying to defend paradis therefore killing other soldiers? this was Eren's whole doing and Eren knew his actions since he could see past and future events.

ogking31

Then don’t comment if it’s trash, simple as that but to each their own 😭

Nicole Guerrero

SS tier show up until the end for me personally a show this good needed a better ending

Krype

She’s always loved him. It’s one sided but she took a spear for him. It wasn’t healthy at all but she did have those feelings. But what she ultimately craved was a connection with someone. She couldn’t move on from king fritz. But what she saw in Mikasa was just that. Someone who was madly in love with another but was willing to let him go to be free of him. Also Eren is a fucking an idiot, just because he saw the future and all but he was an idiot who was corrupted by power. Could he have found a different way? Yeah but mf didn’t care about that.

Moisty Justice

Hard to say ngl, but first half of death note would be a 10/10.

Best anime Anti Hero out of Light, Lelouche, Eren? My vote goes to Lelouche, as well Code geass having a better ending. I think AoT was the better overall anime though IMHO.

While im still not personally a huge fan of this ending I will say the anime handled it much better and actually made me like it more than what the manga did that's for sure and im so glad they got rid of that horrible line from Armin where he thanks Eren for turning himself into a mass murderer for them and kinda shifts the blame completely towards Eren where as now in the anime it changes to Armin saying that he's the one who set him on this path and says that he'll join him in hell and takes on the blame! All of that is new dialogue that the anime added, amazing animation, great music, and the voice acting was phenomenal so with all these new factors added into the mix this changed my original rating of this ending from a 3/10 to a 7.5/10

V STAN

YESSS THANK YOU FOR THE UPLOAD!! BEST REACTORS 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Katelyn Koehler

So... Ymir suddenly loves king fritz??? since when did this happen? So eren saying he's an idiot even though he's seen everything using titan powers and figured there's no other method but this? surely he's just exaggerating. people who say he's just a whining child, was he whining when he was developing during the time skip? And SINCE when does Armin trying to burden Eren's sin with his when Eren did this on his own accord and was never manipulated by any of the power he achieved
