Ten years after its premiere, the end of Attack the titans (Shingeki no Kyojin). After a couple of deliveries announced as the closure of the story, but that did not turn out to be, this time it will happen. He friday march 3in Japan, and the Saturday 4 in other latitudes, there will be a one hour special from anime. This will be followed by another installment that does not yet have a release date.
This logic breaks with the chapter structure that the production had. The fourth season was announced from the beginning as the end of the adaptation of the manga written and drawn by hajime isayama. However, in practice, it was divided into two parts, to which this pair of special episodes will be added. This ups and downs has generated confusion and discomfort among followers, who regret the dropper deliveries.
From the beginning of Season 4 to the end, three years will have passed dedicated to this stretch. The anime was made without much separation in time from the writing of the manga. Its conclusion, in graphic format, was also controversial: many readers complained, to the point that an alternative ending emerged. It is a scenario that describes the phenomenon of Attack the titans: euphoria, expectation beyond power and controversy.
What do you need to know before watching this ending?
The second part of the fourth season of Attack the titans ended up with Eren jaeger activating the rumble of the eartha kind of apocalypse, with the release of all the colossal titans that were in the Walls Maria, Rose and sina. It must be remembered that these were built with them inside and as a way of keeping the inhabitants of Paradis Island locked up.
That last aspect is key in relation to Eren Jaeger. Through the four seasons, Attack the titans told the story of the inhabitants of the paradise island constantly fighting against the titans that were beyond the walls and that, from time to time, burst inside those walls to cause hundreds of deaths and destruction. Through the chapters, it was revealed that these attacks had an end: to find Jaeger.
While that target was kept hidden, Eren Jaeger prepared himself in the legion to kill the titans. This interest can be explained from his childhood, when he saw his mother being eaten by one. So the boy promised himself that I would do anything to get revenge. So far, Attack the titans he had built this figure heroically. However, various subsequent events suggest that this definition is no longer entirely accurate.
When Eren Jaeger learns through “Future Memories” that those who have oppressed his people are on the other side of the sea, his mission changes. It’s no longer just about learning to defend yourself against his enemies and controlling his powers as attack titan by then. Now your target has faces and geographic location. In conclusion: the liberation of his people passes, from his point of view, through the extermination of the rest of the world.
After various incursions beyond the walls and the sea, Attack the titans It is in a defining stage. The Earth Rumble is on. Eren Jaeger has made himself the weapon with which to avenge the years of marginalization and horror suffered by his people. But at what price?
The breaking of loyalties
During the first two seasons, the relationship between Eren Jaeger, Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert was one of the main arguments of Attack the titans. They represented the illusion of childhood, cut short by terror, and, at the same time, the hope for a better future. The three formed the family that the titans had taken from them.
Since Jaeger’s decisions, this idea has been cracking. Those children who grew up as brothers, protecting each other, are now young people who are riddled with doubts, fears and the feeling that a conflict between them is inevitable. This is another of the narrative games that has imposed Attack the titansan anime in which none of the characters is entirely good or a paradigm of evil.
That has contributed to Attack the titans be a story that appeals to different generations. It is not only an anime focused on a specific audience, the manga reader. It also expands to reach viewers interested in plots of power, in finding theories and symbolic references associated with Nazism, for example, or with the dictatorial systems of the moment.
To this is added the spectacularity and the degree of tension left by various sections. Attack the titans It is a drama with horror details and, at the same time, a story full of sensitivity and ideals that, for the most part, have ended up broken. During this first part of the final stage, the confrontation between Eren Jaeger, the hundreds of colossal titans that he now leads, and the inhabitants of Marley, that territory that is beyond the sea, will be discovered.
Doubts about the ending
of Attack the titans
For viewers who have followed the anime without going through the pages of the manga, there are some questions on the table:
- What will be the role of Mikasa Ackerman?
- What role will Levi Ackerman play at this stage?
- whatZakethe beast titan, will be killed by Levi Ackerman?
- How much of Armin Arlert’s character and intelligence will influence the outcome of the story?
- Could Eren Jaeger regret it?
- what will happen to Gabi Braun and Falco Grice?
- whatReiner Brown will he have his redemption?
The latest trailer invites us to think that there will be a wide range of decisions that will be made in a short time. The protagonists will see their ideals confronted and will have to face the threat of the other. The one who, until not long ago, fought alongside them and now represents the greatest threat to humanity due to his desire for revenge. Can they stop him?
In the graphic section, mappa repeated as the study commissioned adaptation. Although there has been some criticism regarding his work and use of 3D, several of the latest episodes are notable, both narratively and aesthetically. It is intuited that, due to the time that has been taken to recreate the remaining nine chapters of the manga, the above will be maintained.
with the end of Attack the titans one of the most important stories in recent years, in commercial and narrative terms, will close. A story capable of going beyond the anime consumer public, to position itself in the imaginary of other sectors. It cannot be ruled out that, as happened with dragonball, super champions, Knights of the Zodiac and other titles, this is positioned in time as an indisputable pop reference (if it is not yet).
