GREATEST OF ALL TIME...Attack on Titan Final Chapters Part 2 | Reaction/Review 

We will 1000% be doing a rewatch of this masterpiece!!! We will also continue to create AoT content because this show deserves it!! Thank you all for sharing this journey with us!

People have probably pointed this out, but Jean and Connie holding each other on the cliff as the rest of the group fled made me finally realise they were the only 2 characters in our main group, there since the start, who had no titan abilities, no special Ackermann abilities, and always there in the action on the frontline. That scene made me realise how brave theyve actually been

The fact that the narrator's voice is Armin. The story is indeed told by him from the first episode.

A few fun facts: 1) Eren didn't open his eyes during rumbling, he opened his eyes in his last breath just to see Mikasa 2) Mikasa wrote “Here forever rest peacefully, my most beloved, my dear. 854” on Eren’s grave. The first two times Mikasa visits Eren’s grave she put four roses which means nothing will come between two people who love each other but cannot be together / tragic love. The last time she put one rose which means “you are still THE one". 3)A white flower was placed during her death, which symbolizes purity and virginity. So, taken together, Mikasa's flowers send the message that she won't forget Eren, she still loves him (but believes he can no longer love her back), she will remain devoted to him, and she is waiting. 4)They spent 4 years living together in Paths (ch. 138) And only when he “passed away” there, was she able to kill him in the real world. (it was a gift to them from Ymir) 5)In the ending credits where Eren and Mikasa were buried, an old man Armin still visiting their graves. He was the last to die from the trio, just like when they were kids running to the tree, he was the last one who reaches the tree.

Just like Kenny said. Everyone is a slave to something. Eren was a slave to freedom and Ymir was a slave to love. For 2000 years she was waiting for someone to show her it was okay to let go of that love and when Mikasa killed the man she loved to save the world that did it. God this show is amazing. I’m really gonna miss it.

Not having “To be continued” hit hard.

For you guys it was one year, for me it was ten years. I ended up crying for two hours

I really like how Carter points out that if you view the ending as “well it was for nothing, everything is pointless” you fall into Zeke’s mentality. The cycle will never stop, war will happen but it’s the little moments and understanding we can have that make life worth living. Even a boy walking in the wreckage of the world has a companion. Has something he loves and makes his life worth it.

Man I hate that empty feeling when one of my favorite shows is over 😔

The ending, to me, showed how cyclical humanity is. No matter what you do, history will always repeat itself.

That scene with the people on the cliff passing the baby was powerful. The music throughout the episode was on point as well.

The show always says that “The world is cruel but beautiful”. It’s so fitting for the ending.

Guy in the middle seems to perfectly get the story and the message Isayama was trying to pass. But someone check on him please, he’s in so deep😅

Ymir and Mikasa are both bound by love to a man who does wrong. Mikasa showed Ymir that even if you love a person, when the right thing to do is to stand up to him, you do it. Ymir realized what she could have / should have done at King Fritz's assassination, refused to go back to the Coordinates to make any more titans, and passed on; and the titan power ended. At that time, all of the Survey Corps' spirits which were bound to the world were released, as their mission was finally complete. For those that still don't understand the last 1/3: they were memories that Eren buried inside of Armin's head when Eren was still alive. Eren did the same to each of his friends, and would explain to them what he must do and why. They were like his letters left to them, but in a different form. He locked those memories after the visits, to only be unlocked after he died. Armin looked differently in each segments either because Eren visited him multiple times when Armin was at different ages, or just for style reasons. But in either event, the (last? only?) memory segment was buried in Armin's head when he was on the ship with Annie. Once Eren died, all those memories were unlocked and all of a sudden they all understood Eren's true intentions. The middle scene where Eren and Mikasa spent time together was Eren illustrating to Mikasa an alternative future if she had just answered differently when Eren asked her what she thought of him, back towards the end of S4 in the camp. Mikasa refused to stay in that scene and forget him, and woke up when Eren's power ran out. Note that at the end of each of these mind illusions/memories/visits, signs of having used/expired the Titan power show on Eren's face and he must end the illusion. This shows that each of these instances has been created by Eren's titan power and only lasts for as long as his titan power lasts. The unclear bits remaining would be how an Ackerman (ok, half - but her mother's half isn't Eldian either) such as Mikasa can have her mind successfully played with by the Founder's power like that. One of the theories is that the claim that Ackerman cannot be brainwashed is a lie fabricated by the Paradis government; after all we have never seen any evidence of that and they for sure can be brought into the paths without problems. The exchange with Armin: Part of Eren's guilt was for wielding the power but not being smart and therefore he could not imagine any better solutions that could result in a better future than killing 80% of humanity. In a way he was saying if he were any smarter, or less hostile and hating, if the power had been vested in someone smarter or more peaceful like Armin, perhaps the destined future would be better - and he blames himself. Armin essentially said to Eren that he didn't need to bear all the guilt alone, that Armin is willing to share the burden, responsibilities and consequences with him, that he will be happy to spend the rest of eternity in hell together with Eren. They are facing everything together, Eren no longer needs to be alone, even in hell; it's an ultra warm gesture from Armin. At the end, Eren did save most of his friends and everyone he knew on Paradis island. History did eventually repeat itself and Paradis still met its end, but that's hundreds of years later and not relevant to anyone he knew. So agreeing with him or not, it's not that he did all these and achieved nothing. Yeah there are a lot of details buried that are easy to miss if you just watch this once. If you do a second or third watch, you will see a lot of details. Down to little ones such as Ylena pausing and getting teary eyes because the crate she was about to handle happened to contain baseballs, which reminded her of Zeke. Or that the tombstone that Mikasa left for Eren said "[Here lies] my dearest beloved, dozing off here forever, 854." (the alphabets used in Paradis are simply upside-down Japanese katakana).

Anime only survivor checking in here. Dodging spoilers since day one. Now I can browse the Internet again.

Jean calling Reiner a scout was amazing

The ending was pretty hard to take for many, some even sent death threats to Poor Isayama. But for me, it's heartbreaking yet beautiful ending. So realistic.

This ending was both cruel and beautiful.

Armins VA was phenomenal cause his screams to Eren being dead has me crying so hard. I love this show and I’m so sad to see it end but man is it phenomenal.

I am 28, full grown adult This finale made me cry so much. No one can say anything, this is a masterpiece…

Mikasa crying at the end paralleling Eren's crying from his dream in the beginning is painfully beautiful. Her realizing exactly what it was when he was crying underneath that tree. So much heartache captured in that moment. The life they both wanted, but would never have. Granted that Eren's love for Mikasa was not fully fleshed out as it could've been as per Isayama, but us as the audience were never with these character's 24/7 so there could've been moments these two shared "off camera."

Mikasa crying at the end got me. Truly one of the greatest shows ever

To the boy who sought freedom, Goodbye. RIP Eren. In the end, you did exterminate every last titan from this world. This was an awesome adaptation. Thank you Isayama, Well done, MAPPA. This was truly the end of an era.

04:31 Can I just say, from the very first season Levi had always to keep Mikasa in check, and seeing him do it even near the end just warms my heart. That's Captain. ❤

The souls of Eldians were trapped in Paths because Ymir wanted to be connected to others. When the power of the titans disappeared, they disappeared as well.

One of my favorite scene is when Zeke and Armin met at the path. Armin holding the leaf but in Zeke POV it's a ball. It symbolized their "purpose" of existing. The thing that makes them happy. The very reason their life was beautiful. Life is cruel but at some point, we are happy. We enjoyed life. It's a decade of roller coaster of emotion. ✨

Scene where Connie and Jean are hugged and waiting to be transformed hit me really hard

I can't lie this is probably the best reaction to the AOT finale I've seen so far. Y'all boys are genuine fans for sure.

What a painful yet beautiful end🤕. Wow what a journey. Thank you everyone for the support! ❤️

As Carter said it, thousands of years passed, so of course wars continue, but it wasn't for nothing. I love the realism of this story and I feel happiness for the characters who found their peace

I've watched like 6-7 reactions and none of them understood the subtleties and nuances of the episode as much as you guys did❤❤❤

It hurts that Mikasa got the ending that she did. She saved the rest of the world and destroyed the titan curse. Yet she's the only one who's depressed and crying at the end :( She went through so much

Levi looking at all of his fallen comrades absolutely destroyed me. Beautiful moment.

I find the whole thing kind of poetic in a way. Right from the start of the story Eren swore he would kill all the titans and get revenge for his mothers death. Him choosing to go through with the rumbling, and Ymir ended up eliminating the titans. Also having himself die, since he said in this episode that he was the one who sent the smiling titan to his mother. Thus his death would have been the vengeance he wanted for his mothers death. So in the end Eren kept true to the vows/oath he made with himself right from the start.

The fact that Mikasa still wore her scarf till death just says a lot. She really became my favorite character in the whole show after this release.🖤🙌

what a legendary show. think about how many non-anime fans became anime fans as a result of this masterpiece. top 3 anime of all time for sure.

If you remember correctly in Season 3 Episode 6, Erwin literally said this "Peace between men will never be certain, not until our numbers fall to 1 or less." The war that we see in credits is centuries later. The reason for that war is unknown, it could be anything. It is even possible that it is a war among Paraids themselves. Even if Eren wiped out the entire humanity outside the walls, who's to say there there will be peace for certain among Paradis, they may fight among themselves for some reason. Having a common enemy unites people.

I was a manga reader but the music and the animation was so impactful I almost cried more than once

Born too late to explore the world Born too early to explore the stars Born just in time to experience end of the masterpiece Attack on Titan ❤‍🔥

The message of the ending, which was lost on many in the manga, is that as human nature dictates, there will always be conflict. However, through our choices, we can build a future where there is hope for mutual understanding. The power of the titans is gone, but violence still perpetuates. So was it the titans, or our human nature that ignited so much bloodshed?

The part with Eren saying he didn't know why he did what he did was because of obtaining the Attack Titan and Founding Titan. He essentially adopted the same ideals as Ymir and the will to fight for freedom from the Attack Titan. It turned into a messed up and cruel intention, yes HOWEVER; The main theme here was he had the same type of emotion and intention that King Fritz had by his vow renouncing war. The two go hand in hand and both were extreme regardless. With Eren choosing the path he did, it ensured the peaceful future for his friends. Once Mikasa and the rest died, that's really when the war erupted. You can see that happen in the end credit scenes. Two big take aways I found with this last chapter was that history repeats and humanity will continue to face conflict (Eren and Commander Pyxis had this discussion when they walked on the wall) and that AoT produced one of the best love stories I think I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Yes it doesn't end the way A LOT of people wanted but the love Eren had for Mikasa and vice versa cannot be compared. Her love for Eren was what gave Ymir reason to let go. Ymir couldn't kill King Fritz because she felt she was powerless and her slavery to the love she had caused her to be so stuck. That's why she chose Mikasa because she could actually kill Eren but still love him all the same. That gave Ymir closure and that's truly what she needed to rest.

I love the message of the story. Because of fear and distrust humanity continues to have conflicts and wars. Only after bloodshed and destruction the people live peacefully, but this peace lasts only for a couple of generations, after that the cycle starts all over again. What really matters is the time that we have now, the moments of joy and happiness that fill our lives. The scene with the giant tree at the end is a simple, but a powerful reminder: "History tends to repeat itself." Hajime Isayama, thank you for this masterpiece!!!

One of the many, stupidly trivial things people are still hung up on even after this finale is Annie Leonhart. Idk I think people give her too much of a hard time still. I didn't care about her on my first watch-through of aot, but then I realized her character perfectly embodies a nihilistic perspective that is very thematically relevant to AoT's story. People mainly have an issue with how she doesn't value human life, namely through how menacing she came off in the female titan arc + when she killed the Levi Squad. And to that I say: NO SHIT. Never in her life was she treated as a person; literally abused by her father and treated as a weapon. I'd argue she was worse off than Bert & Reiner in that respect, who at least had loving families. But, I agree that her redemption arc could've been done MUCH better; most of it was implied or done "off screen," which is why the characters "forgiving her" felt wrong to so many people. I had no problem with it because I understood that these characters have gotten to the point where they understand each other. They have ALL, Alliance and Warriors, been forced into dreadful positions of violence. Even Levi wasn't explicitly shown to be spiteful toward her, likely because he (unlike many braindead fans lmao) understands that she was an indoctrinated child who had a mission to complete (although, interestingly, she tried to end the Paradis mission MULTIPLE times. When that didn't work - courtesy of Reiner - she just wanted to get it over with and return back to her father, hence, the female titan arc). I also think Reiner's redemption was emphasized more because his betrayal hit harder for the main group; he actually bonded with them whereas Annie actively (and understandably) tried not to get attached. Anyway, long story short: People bring up the Levi Squad every time, even though it's been years, all while ignoring EVERYTHING else that’s developed her character. However, she did not need to be taken out of the show for 4 whole seasons. It worked, story-wise, but there was so much wasted potential there; and that's one of my biggest AoT criticisms.

The subtle scene we got in the credits where Eren’s tombstone was getting covered up by the growth of the earth around him, really hit me. The one with true intentions of self sacrifice for the potential of a greater outcome only to have his idealisms covered up and forgotten over time does make it feel like what he did was for nothing. But like everyone was saying, to live isn’t for nothing, its the impact we make on the lives we can touch and boy did Isayama touch every single one of us. Rest in peace Eren. Your fight is over. ❤

i think people forget that before we had the outside world in season 1-3 there was still conflict inside the walls and people going against each other so it is always going to happen

Pixis to Eren at the beginning of the show: "If a powerful external threat were to appear, humanity would cease its wars and unite." It seems Eren eventually became that common threat that forced Marleyans and Eldians to unite and fight against this bigger threat. Then as centuries passed, conflicts between humans started again leading to Paradis waging war against the world and then getting destroyed in return.

I love Zeke building sandcastles during what is essentially the end of the world. He's so iconic. After all these years, it's finally over. We are free. Goodbye to all of the amazing characters from this story, both alive and dead. Goodbye Armin and Mikasa. And to Eren, the boy who sought freedom, goodbye. Thank you, Isayama.

The fact that you guys recognize AOT as one of the best and also a well written series was really a 360 turnover, from anime-haters up to loving the series so much. I like the discussions, the ideas, the realistic understanding of the ending. I personally believe that this kind of ending was amazing.

Also I agree with Carter. I don’t think the power of the titans comes back at the end because the boy is simply just exploring the destroyed island unlike Ymir who was being chased to death and ended up manifesting the titan to survive once she touched the source of all life. For all we know even if the boy comes into contact with the hallucigenia nothing would happen because he is not ruled by fear in that instance. It’s simply a parallel, in my eyes.

S04E02 Cannon: If there’s a titan with wings, I’ll show my bare dogs on the camera. Falco: Hold my FaZe Gabi.

I love y'all's ending conversation. I like how there's some kneejerk reactions (naturally) and the group collectively addresses the thought and it slowly changes with the different perspectives. This story is such a masterpiece but it isn't simple. There's so much nuance and it takes more than one perspective to fully understand it.

My favourite scene has to be that convo between Armin and Zeke... but I basically started crying when Armin was yelling at his own "dead body" and I didn't stop crying until after Mikasa repeated that line, "thank you for wrapping the scarf around me".

Ive watched countless AOT reactions but you guys have pretty much been the only ones where i can tell how much the show actually means to you and that you fr have a deep appreciation for it

Eren achieved his goal to protect the people he hold dear. So for Mikasa to be dying of old age means that they at least get to live in peace for years.

Despite being spoiled on the manga ending, it’s crazy how when Eren and Armin were speaking towards end, I legitimately caught myself hoping that Eren would live. Then they showed the devastation he caused with the rumbling, and it snapped me back to reality: he truly belongs in hell. What a masterpiece.

fully sobbing at 9pm on a monday. just finished bingeing this journey with you guys after also starting as an "anime hater"-- what a bittersweet ending.

I cried like the whole hour plus because of all the feels hitting, when you know what they have all experienced and now that it has come to this. The message/realism is also striking wherein there would always be human conflicts. AOT is a masterpiece to evoke all of these. Others hate the ending but for me it is so apt.

The most goosebumps that I got while watching the end were when Annie, Pieck and Reiner stopping "the thing" from reaching Eren. From Annie's desperate scream to Reiner "Just what must we do for our efforts to finally pay off?" while being attacked by Titan Connie, Jean, Gabi and his mom. Sad that it wasn't included in this video.

My personal takeaway of the story is that even though the cycle of violence and hatred will always continue, a notion that was repeated by Erwin, Pysix, and Kyomi, we have to try our best to not perpetuate it and if we can’t we have to keep trying regardless of what the outcome may be. It’s been repeated throughout the series that human conflict will never cease. Like Niccolo said, there’s a devil in all of us; we’re all capable of violence and hatred. So what do we do? We escape the forest and even if we can’t we have to keep trying. I believe that's what the scouts were trying to do. Because remember, they actually had a hand in furthering the Rumbling by helping Eren get to Zeke. Aot has always been about making choices that one thinks they will regret the least. They just didn’t wanna regret not stopping an omnicide. The scouts represent what the Survey Corps stands for and what, I hope, we all stand for: fighting against insurmountable odds for even the slightest chance of an unrealistic idealist world. Thank you to Isayama for writing this incredible masterpiece ❤

When the anime first came out in 2013, I was 19. I just turned 30, 2 days ago and I watched the finale. I remember the first time I heard about the show, the hype all around about this gruesome and cool show, sitting in my old childhood bedroom, watching the first episode and losing my shit. When s2 came out, I was 23 and it had been 2 yrs since I moved across the world permanently. I'm super emotional and can't believe it actually ended but for me it'll NEVER end.

11:30 Armin screaming at himself, insulting himself broke me in the Manga, but the Anime is double the pain, just hearing his desperate, hopeless but also angry screams... and then at 12:40, when Zeke called Armin Erens friend- No words.

Eren saying to Mikasa like " Just let me go and Kill Me " felt like someone punch me in the gut. I literally cried during that moment. And I cried more while at the same time my babe Carter seemed about to cry too. 😢

Carter feels the emotions , bro i cry 10 times more than him during this last episode , it was so intense and epic , SNK forever

I seriously don't understand how people hate the ending it's a bittersweet end is the best way I can describe it. The funny thing is I decided to start watching you guys to check out the anime, and while you guys started liking the anime I started liking the anime at the same time, so it was really cool to have basically the same experience as you guys while watching.

I just feel so empty now, but I'm glad that I was alive to witness this story from start to finish. I feel like I've lost someone close. Wholeheartedly believe it's the best piece of fiction ever written. I love Shingeki so damn much.

I can’t believe AOT has ended it was a peak anime 😭😭

I loved the ending. I felt like everyone’s story arc was wrapped up beautifully while keeping with the core themes. It was perfectly bittersweet. Everything within the fabric of this story is cyclical, so while the bleak final minutes is deeply depressing, it is completely befitting. With that said, I am incredibly sad about Eren. I lost count of how many times I cried, but his death especially hit hard. Eren is such a heartbreakingly tragic character. All he wanted was to live his life free and yet he was never free a moment in his life. His very free will was nothing but an illusion and his fate was sealed the moment he was born. His journey is devastating from start to finish. To the boy who sought freedom - goodbye. 😢

I want to thank you guys! I've been here from episode 1 and watched all your reaction of this masterpiece. I'm a fan of AoT since 2019 but honestly it feels like all the way since 2013 because I've rewatched it through reaction channels far too many times. It even feels dumb to say that "bla bla bla Aot is the best show ever" because there is just no way to tell the opposite. True, there are things like opinions and perspectives that can change a lot but in the end when you can see it's themes and the meaning behind... there is just no way to objectively say anything else but... MASTERPIECE!!! ❤✊🏻 Will there ever be a show like this?! Lets believe in it's own themes and say... HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

If Mikasa and Eren would have lived their love story the titan power would have been still there and guess what? It changes nothing. Humans always find good reasons to do wars Titan powers or not

I was crying while watching this episode actually. The emotional value and the depth of the characters with their relationships between each other was so emotional actually and I was honestly very overwhelmed.

I'm sad that it's over but I'm so glad it ended beautifully dreadful. It's hard to explain in words the greatness of this show. Having watched this show from the get (also watched y'alls reactions from the get) it's been a wild journey; from enjoying the shit out of the first season, to waiting 4 years for the second season to be released, to thinking that we were getting the "final season" of AOT in 2020, and to know in 2023 AOT actually being over. At the end of the day, all I can say is that it was all worth it.

I can feel the pain of those who started watching aot 10 years back. Believe me its my first anime and I completed it in 7 days and now I realized what a master piece it is. This was one of the best ending and i literally cried seeing it. Sayonara Attack on titan and Eren🕊💫

I was crying since the part when I saw Mikasa's face after everybody said let's kill Eren. Where did it go wrong indeed. The best part of AOT is that it holds almost everything about the world, how humans are greedy, hungry for power, controlled by fear but also pure and innocent. Of course there will always be good and bad, but sometimes it's not as simple as that, sometimes you have to choose to hurt people for the greater good. But is it worth it? Is hurting innocent really worth it? To keep your power, to eliminate what you think is threat, is it really worth it? AOT shows us both sides, and those who literally have nothing to do with the war but lost their lives because they got caught in the middle. This anime is going to be timeless, because I don't think human will ever understand each other and we won't have peace as long as we live. Call me a pessimist but it's the truth?

What an absolutely fantastic finale! Every main character's arc gets rounded out perfectly. Levi fulfills his last order by killing Zeke, absolving himself of the deaths of Erwin and the Scout outriders. He finally embraces the idea that Armin is necessary to save humanity, forgiving himself for picking Armin over Erwin. After everything, his body is broken, and the titan killing tool he had become overextended itself when he killed all of his men, dearest to him in the whole world, in the woods. He now has to live without being that tool, and he is all the more peaceful for it. Zeke, who has scoured his own life in search of any semblance of meaning for his suffering, is confronted with the horrible truth that, in doing so, he neglected the sources for all of his joy. His life's goal, the sterilization of Eldians, had been a dismissal of both any possibility of a joyous future and the Eldian race as a whole. As his last act, he rallies the most terrifying avatars of the Eldian race he hates so much. And in his last moment before dying, he enjoys the simplest of small wonders-the nice weather. Mikasa holds on to the love she has for Eren and her commitment to him, despite his final wish not to do so. And it is through this unfathomable love, this fundamentally unbreakable loyalty to him, that she manages to save him by ending him. The biggest act of love she could ever show him was killing him. It is the final testament to Eren never being able to grasp how her love for him worked. He thought that she needed to let him go to save him, but she would never. And it is through this that she stops the rumbling. Armin's final moments of greatness embody his three main characteristics: his incredible mind, his role as Commander of the Survey Corps, and his devotion to Eren. Through sheer willpower and critical thinking, he not only manifests himself in the paths, but for his last move, he figures out how to come out of there stronger than he was forced to. As the final commander of the Survey Corps, he asks for not just an army of Scouts to lend them their strength but an army of fallen Eldian souls through path-manifested titans. By finally standing up to Eren and proving himself his superior, he gets to see the sights he always wanted. And he finally proclaims himself as Eren's equal by owning up to setting him on his path, even though the legacy he claims is one of genocide. Reiner has always been a shield, forced to be a weapon. His soul commands him to protect those he loves, but his mission dictates that he attack them. It has led to a broken mind, but finally his mission and soul are aligned. He is not charged with killing Eren. His only goal is to protect his comrades while they finish their missions. And at the end of it all, he stands as the shield against the souls of all titans in defense of all of humanity. Eren is a difficult one for me because there's so much going on with him that I do not understand. But one thing that stood out to me is what I feel his story has been all about. He's never been as steadfast as Reiner, as talented as Mikasa, as smart as Armin, as charismatic as Jean, as dangerous as Annie, or as beloved as Connie and Sasha. He's always been average. Average but dedicated, and coincidentally gifted with godlike powers. He is a warning to us all of what happens when ordinary, unremarkable people manage to get lucky enough to be embued with powers they shouldn't have and are willful enough to use them. He is every world leader with a finger on nuclear codes. He is an omen for the end of humanity. An average person with the potential for divine consequences. Jean is more difficult for me. I feel like Jean's primary arc has always been that of someone who despises the idea of responsibility, is drawn to it, is good at it, and is thrust into it. His arc got 2/3 fulfillment from (1) his acceptance of his fate as a Scout, even being proud of it, and (2), after all of these years, finally being the one to end Eren (in his Founding Titan form) and bringing their rivalry to its natural end. I feel like it should've been him instead of Armin who rallied the Marleyans to put down their weapons after the Eldians got turned from titans into humans. It would've signified him taking charge of his people's fate and being prepared to shape the future they would share with the rest of the world. Connie turning into a titan is poetic considering his mother being turned into one was one of the first steps for Eldia to understand the titans. I've never really understood what his character was actually meant to say, though I've loved him greatly. Maybe the role of a normal person among great people. Maybe he is a mirror to Eren in that regard? What choices can an unremarkable person make to become a great one? In any case, him embracing Jean before they turn into titans is absolutely tear-inducing. The ending of this story is both sad, true, and meaningful. While the "heroes" (as Eren calls them) will be able to form a better world from the ashes of the old one, the sacrifice Eren made will never be worth it. War, genocide, and human destruction are cyclical. Even the metaphorical presence of the titans will repeat itself. That, to me, is the great takeaway Isayama intended. No, none of Eren's actions were worth it. It will all happen again. There is no excuse strong enough to justify the destruction of human life.

Mikasa is surprisingly such an important character for the resolution of Ymir's bondage to Fritz in love. Mikasa did what Ymir was unable to do, ending her eternal torture and reign of titans.

Somehow I managed to dodge spoilers for the finale after all these years and it was amazing. The last 10 min had me crying up a storm 😂

Levi's conclusion was one of best 😊. Levi is GOAT

I knew I could trust you guys to appreciate the end of this journey. It was perfect. I hope there’s more aot content tho, I would 100% rewatch it again with you all.

impossible to put into words the feeling this anime gave for a decade...trully a masterpiece in every segment

This episode marks the end of an incredible era! "Attack on Titan" will remain in our hearts as one of the absolute best pieces of fiction ever produced.. Thank you to the creators, the voice actors, and everyone involved in bringing this incredible story to life. It's a bittersweet farewell to a series that has left an indelible mark on the anime world. Shinzou wo sasageyo!

Even after knowing what was going to happen I cried like a part of myself was just lost…

I understand Carter very well when he was overcome with emotion at the moment when Eren and Mikasa were saying goodbye in the hut, and at the moment when she had to take his life. I also shed a tear like a 5 year old child

I cried too many times to count. Levi especially got to me. And the scene where Erin cries over not wanting to die but still full sending his plans either way made me sob so uncontrollably. He made hard decisions on top of hard calls. Anyone that doesn’t fully grasp his sacrifices that he had to endure literally from the jump smh clearly doesn’t understand the masterpiece of a story that Isayama was weaving. From full bodied characters, to poignant plots, Great Battle Scenes and Goated ARCs. It was an absolute pleasure to watch this Anime. There will be nothing else like this and I’m so happy y’all experienced the sheer Awesomeness of this Series. Thank you 🖤⚔️ Shinzou wo sasageyo

Definitely need to watch this episode again and probably the whole show for the third time, it's so tragic. The more I think about it the more I appreciate this ending.

Armin's cry over Eren's death got me emotional 😢 nice voice acting there. Your insights at the end was juicy! yall definitely nailed all the points that needed to be discussed

Arguably the greatest anime of all time. Thank you AOT & Hajime Isayama for 10 years of witnessing this masterpiece! ❤ SHINZOU SASAGEYO!

I started AOT when I was 9 and now I am 18 ... and even though I already knew about the ending I cried so much watching the last episode. I literally SOBBED for a solid 15 minutes. Enjoyed your reaction guys) that was long journey, Isayama is a genius btw

最後エレンの墓にはこう刻まれています　　 「最愛の 　あなた　 　ここで永遠の 　 　居眠りにつく」 これは諌山先生がエレンに向けた最後のメッセージです

To those who wonder whom mikasa ended up with.... zoom into mikasa's left hand when she was in her grave (after her death). You'll see a ring in her ring finger. Meaning she actually married someone in her life (most probably it's jean)

Whatever Eren was experiencing, we get such a small picture of it, and yet I find it just as haunting. The absolute lack of life he shows in his appearances throughout the last season is so upsetting. Eren is emotional, he is angry, he is the 'soul' of the trio and for the show itself in almost every case up to now, but up until the finale, he is just so vacant. The show does this thing with Eren's eyes, where they show different variations of blues and greens reflective of the scenario. In many of the scenes where Eren appears in season 4 and is the most dead, his eyes are grey to black. One prime example being his altercation with Armin and Mikasa, when he tells Mikasa he has always hated her, all the color is completely gone. I think Eren was just not really present during any of it. Not only is he experiencing a multitude of memories past and present as well as the present, but he is also presumably searching for futures, looking through branches, and trying to find an outcome where things don't turn out like this. Those kind of time loop narratives (even if here, Eren isn't necessarily time traveling) mess me up. The idea of a character going through the same hell over and over trying to find the right choices and save their loved ones, on repeat, but never succeeding, and doing it all alone? If that's really what Eren was experiencing on top of all the other things, it's no wonder he said his mind was messed up. Overall, I think one of the most impactful parts of AoT's overall core, what causes conflict, why these things happen, what people fight for, is shown by its' incredible ability to humanize every 'demon' the story has. Not in a way that justifies what the consequences (or even goals most of the time) of their actions, but in a way that makes you understand why in a visceral way. Because as Armin said, it's never the actions of just one person. I think that's why Eren had to be the final villain, and how the story manages to do that with it's main protagonist. Coming back to this story after years and finally seeing it to the end was something else. When this started I was in middle school. I am very glad I returned after all this time. I think it will sit with me for a long long time. Lately I've been watching many other peoples' reactions and thoughts, which has been really special. There's so many many things to talk about and so many little and big facets to examine. As someone who caught up from episode 1 of your reactions, thanks for sharing your own experiences with all of us.

I can't believe we're already at the end of this AOT journey. It was a very fun time. I just like your reaction because you will give an honest opinion if you don't like it but you word it politely. Also I like the vibe, you guys are not too noisy but also not too quite while watching. Ngl, I feel less lonely too LOL. Please keep it and I hope you don't force any unnatural reaction. I can't wait to watch another anime episodes with you all.

Ymir really needs to find a healthier outlet for her voyeurism.

I just want to hug Carter mann... ❤️‍🩹 So glad yall enjoyed the finale though! Bittersweet for sure

I physically could not hold back my tears during the baby and the cliff scene; all I could think about was my 9 month old being handed off to strangers as her mom and I would fall to our deaths. 😭😭

I started this show when I was 12. There were only six episodes out. Time flies. So grateful for this story. It’s going to be weird not waiting for more of this show for the first time in ten years.

Such a bittersweet ending to one of the best stories ever. Watching your journey from day 1 has been a blast, you guys made the show even more enjoyable to watch. Truly the end of an era.

I nearly cried through the whole episode. The depth of the characters…every single one of their stories was meaningful and powerful. MAPPA brought the ending to this story a beautiful conclusion. This story is one of the greatest pieces of fiction. Ever. ❤

I think people kind of forgot about the fact that Eren tried other ways to ensure that Paradis will be left alone without the violence. When he said to Armin that there is no other way, there’s literally no other way. Please remember, they’ve attended a meeting with all the world’s leaders to make a petition but was miserably disappointed as these “leaders” decided that people from Paradis are the “devils” and would not even listen to them. Back then, Eren’s decision of the rumbling became solidified giving “if you are not going to listen to us, I will show you instead” vibes. Also, please remember that he sacrificed himself to make the squad (the “devil” people who opposed to become the devil themselves) be the world’s heroes to give them a chance to be heard around the world. Thus, the squad was on a mission/boat scene with commander Armin. It’s really a subtle detail we often forgot. :) PS. I have binge watch all your reactions and was procrastinating on watching the last episode (as I have with the anime and manga when it was released) because my heart couldn’t take it. Lol I bawled my eyes out so hard. AOT really is the best anime!

AOT is so well-written 😭 the finale really touched my heart, made me cry, made me feel things.... And I never thought I would hear "Call Your Name" by Hiroyuki Sawano as BG music again 😢❤ been listening to it everyday since Season 1❤ just hits different now

It's crazy know that Isayama created this masterpiece when he was only 19, same age with Eren right now
