'Don't forget we're Scout Regiment...' 'I was Military Police' 'Anyway...'

“To the boy who sought freedom, goodbye”

1:56:20 yes I love your point about Armin being the lowkey main character. I think it makes the most sense that Armin is essentially the *narrator* of this story, and he's telling the story of Eren

I appreciate that Montana immediately knew what an Okapi was XD

I think the overall message was cycle will always repeat, but it is still worth fighting to end it

I disagree that the Marliens were lying about wanting peace with the Eldians. I think they did, but once seeing them transform into Pure Titans, that fear of the Titans was placed in them once again.

In both Japanese and English dub. Armin's wail upon seeing Eren's head were heartbreaking. It never fails to make me shed a tear. Much credit to both Armin's VA.

I like that they kept the baby's cries from the Japanese version. Sure, it's a case of "Why would they change it, it's a baby", but the fact that it's Eren's Japanese voice actor's child made it feel special.

Armin has been the narrator of the show since Season 1, Episode 1. The entirety of Attack on Titan is him re-telling their story to the rest of the world. This is my favourite piece of fiction ever written and I'm so glad to say I've watched you guys react to it since the very start- thanks so much and congrats on the marriage!!

that scene with the baby ALWAYS packs a punch. We never think much of death, until it involves the most innocent ones.

I'm so glad that Arifumi Imai, the person that animated not only the Levi and Beast Titan fight and Levi escaping from Kenny's crew, but also the very first ODM gear scene in the show, was the one who also animated the last ODM gear scene. The sweeping shots, the environment and the details animated made it such a memorable scene and a perfect way to say goodbye to ODM gear. Imai is truly a master of his craft.

Eren never wanted to save the world he wanted to save his FAMILY aka the people he cared about. His plan was never to end all conflict with paradis it was to give his family freedom from the curse ofnthe titans and the ability and time to live full and happy lives which is why i think they made a point to show mikasa dying of old age.

People say Eren’s final moments were out of character but it makes perfect sense considering the situation. His head is screwed. He’s seeing all of existence all at once. He’s a baby, a kid, a teenager and all the other past wielders of the Attack Titan all at once. Not to mention he’s having to face the realisation of his actions that he tried to hide behind through his “giga-chad” act he put on at the start of Season 4. All this while he’s about to die and talking to his friend one last time. I doubt anyone would be the same after all this. And it shows that no one should think Eren’s actions were the right thing to do because even he doesn’t believe that.

I had a little bit of a different perspective on Eren during the Rumbling, and that was how Eren DID want to commit genocide on the world. While, yes, he did it to save his friends too, his main reason was to make the world into HIS version of freedom, which is what he saw in Armin's book as a child. He even says this to Ramzi while on Marley, how he was so disappointed when he learned that the world outside the walls wasn't a vast empty land waiting for him to explore and that while he knows the atrocity he's about to commit, he does it anyway. He isn't apologizing for destroying the world, he's apologizing for wanting to destroy it. This is further illustrated during the basement talk with Reiner, where Eren pushes him to admit that breaking down the wall in the first episode was in actuality due to Reiner's desire to be a hero, and that he's just using "saving the world" as a mask for his true reason. Eren says "I'm the same", implying that he too is doing the same thing: Using a selfless excuse (saving his friends) for a selfish act (wanting his own version of a free world). Eren is both an incredibly layered and complex character, yet is also the exact same person from who he was in the very first episode to the very last: a psychotic, immature, irrational child who only sees rage as a solution. The problem is that, in time, that same emotional child gains the power to destroy the entire world, which is why in the Season 2 finale Reiner says that Eren is the last person who should wield such a power. When you see the scene of him free above the clouds as a child, with the slaughtering of billions of innocent people underneath, that's Eren in his purest form: a disillusioned child who has a warped idea of freedom. At the very end, when discussing with Armin as to why he used the Rumbling, he says he doesn't know. I think this is the author explaining how Eren has always been this way, and that while the future isn't decided, who Eren is as a person is, which is why he couldn't stop it from happening. Saving his friends and the people on Paradis is a reason, yes, but Eren uses that reasoning as a cover as to why he actually starts the Rumbling: He wants to.

One thing to note is Eren ensured CENTURIES of peace and prosperity on Paradis before those bombs fell, probably in a war unrelated to the scars of the Rumbling. In a way, the show asks: just because peace isn't forever, does that mean it's not worth fighting for?

Seeing Levi send off the Fallen scouts i started tearing up because i knew sasha was coming next. Cried once again.

Dude. Levi fought with two fingers and still killed it- Literally

Eren's eyes were red because he was crying during the whole rumbling, and only opened his eyes to see Mikasa again.

The way I interpret the ending of the titans is that Yimir saw that Mikasa killed her own loved one and therefore realized that she herself could also release herself from slavery from her loved one being king Fritz. That way, no titans will be manually crafted by her. Eren basically planned this all out, he hated titans and wanted them gone so he set the future where he can show Yimir Mikasa killing him while also making his friends the heroes that saved what's left of humanity. Eren probably had the power to change the past so that Titans wouldn't have been a problem to the world but doing so would mean that Eren, Mikasa and Armin wouldn't have existed or met and like Armin said to Zeke, despite all the misery life offers, they're happy to be born to enjoy the happy and seemingly insignificant moments that they had.

35:59 aot has so much attention to details...the woman with the kid on the ecliff was the very same pregnant woman eren saw when he was delibrating his actions in the last part.

Montana: oh, why’re we building sandcastles 😵‍💫 Kenny: kinda what Ymirs been doing this whole time Montana: fair enough I HAVE NEVER LAUGHED SOOO HARD

Comment below if you're HYPED for this reaction!!!

Funny Montana said that the beast titan that snatched Armin was a ghost because the animal, the Okapi, is literally called the ghost of the forest.

Vinland Saga is excellent. I think it's the perfect follow-up esp considering the MC's journey in contrast to Eren's. What a trip. Anywho this ending got a lot of crap when it was originally released 2 years ago but I think the anime did a good job at getting the point across without changing much. Mikasa/Eren is such a bittersweet little pair. She would lose him far too early no matter what actually occurred.

If the person you love committed great atrocities do you stand by him or do you stopped him. Mikasa shows Ymir there is another way so that's why the curse stopped, Ymir finally moves on instead of obeying Fritz commands

People have said they don’t understand why Ymir would love king Fritz but I think it’s important to remember Ymir had NOTHING, and all she ever wanted was connection. The first person to give her any kind of connection was unfortunately king Fritz, while he terrorized her and enslaved her, he was her first true source of connection to the world. I think this is also a big part of why mikasa was the one who truly freed Ymir in the end. She was able to love Eren with all of her heart, she felt a great debt to Eren for saving her life as a child (from slavery which is another great parallel between mikasa and Ymir) and yet despite that she was still able to stand against him and be the one to take his life. I absolutely loved how this series ended and I will be forever in awe with the foreshadowing this series managed to pull off.

One thing i love about this channel is how serious and focused they can be into the anime and deep discussion breaks and there will be random meme edits and audios that just kills me😂

I hope they react to Vinland Saga this year hopefully after JJK. We'll get them to watch it guys. Peak literature. Peak storytelling, Peak Character Development. Peak MC

I get sad every time i remember my favorite show ended :(

I think Eren's mom also has a great point about the anime's stance on humanity ; no one is special, we all are special, for the sole reason fate has us being born in this world. She was happy just... being. Enjoying existence.

montana being open about her depression and getting emotional has me in TEARS. i absolutely adore her so much.

So I HAVE comment about the little scene with the baby. I love what it shows. It shows that even in the worst moment people are still caring, as this stranger catches the baby, likely tried to catch the mother, and then begged other strangers to pass the baby forward hoping to delay the little one's fate as long as possible, and people just pass the child forward, hoping in what they believe to be in vain, that somehow, this little life will make it.

Head to Patreon to see all episodes of Attack On Titan now in their extended full length forms!

one of the most tragic things about eren is he's never been able to have the sense of hope and wonder that armin has, so much so that in his final moments with him in the Paths he watches armin's gaze of wonder and knows he can't feel it himself. eren destroyed the world to protect his friends, but used that as a double-edged sword to rectify his wrongs that he committed because the world wasn't like the book he and his friends read as children. there are so many horrifically tragic layers to eren and i feel like they become most apparent upon a re-watch, especially this finale

"Maybe we should not hate our enemy that much" and with THAT friends you are ready to start Vinland Saga!

Some little details I spotted: Eren's death in the mouth of a titan was foreshadowed in season 1 when he saved Armin. The last notes of the final song, when the boy begins approaching the tree, are the same notes from the chorus of the first opening. The titan we see breaking another over his back was Eren Kruger. He broke the ship him and Grisha arrived on the same way. I was not expecting you to clock that the Ram Titan was Mr. Ksaver, nicely done. There's many more blink and you'll miss it details in this masterpiece of a final episode, and it has been a wonderful experience watching along with you all ❤️

Glad you two finished the show! Eren gave everyone a little bit of what they wanted. Zeke got the end of titans. Connie got his mom back. Eren showed Armin the world that they dreamed of. Mikasa got to see what life was like with her and Eren alone.

I always imagined that Mr Ksaver's beast titan was actually very strong but he only wanted to use his titan abilities to research so his titan always manifested inadequate to fight (I like to think a ram without horns). But when Ymir summoned him with the sole goal to fight, then his titan was powerful.

1:48:35 I feel you. Ty Montana, for sharing and for reminding me to honour the moments when I have the energy to bake the perfect cinnamon rolls, or when a friend I haven't talked to for a while is reaching out unexpectedly. Hopefully, when I manage to get a good sear on a steak someday, I'll make sure to appreciate that too 💛

Armin's voice actor was incredible. I was really impressed.

Guys we gotta get Kenny and Montana to Watch "I have no enemies" Vinland Saga baby. We need you to see this masterpiece

ya, not ashamed to say that the last two parts of this series made me weep and cry multiple times. The themes and characters were just carried so well and the tragic beauty of it all just gets to me. Though i can understand why that might be a bad ending in the eyes of some. I absolutely loved it.

Did you know that Eren never opened his eyes during the rumbling? But he opened his eyes again when Mikasa reached him. It was the last time he saw the face of his loved one.

About your comment at the end about Armin being the main character, it's interesting that since the beginning of the anime he was the one narrating what happened in the episodes. And at the end, when they return to Paradis he says he will tell them everything, "the whole story". What happened in the entire anime is what he told to the people of Paradis.

the baby scene never fails to make me cry

The leading theory about Historia is that Eren and Historia had a "moment" together before he went off to destroy everything. Mikasa and Eren can't be together. Mikasa moved on with Jean. Historia couldn't be with Ymir. She took a moment's reprieve with Eren. If you look at Historia's child in her final scene, she looks exactly like Carla/Eren. She even has Carla's golden eyes. Eren's reprieve with Historia gave him the strength to do what came next. And stopped the military from exploiting Historia for her royal blood in the process. A union of convenience and comfort for both of them.

I some how love that you do the dubs version reaction, it’s very refreshing to see how the dubs are doing

the end depicts the human cycle of hate greatly, no matter the power given, humans would use it to destroy civilizations, firstly they used the power of titans against each other, and when they lost titan powers, they went on with nukes and stuff like the real world

“History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme.” - Mark Twain

People generally prefer the anime version of the ending over the manga version because the anime had more scenes, explanations and far better dialogue

"For as long as people hold firm to different beliefs, there will always be an enemy.” - AOT S4 E27 Info card

This is one of of the greatest anime of all time.

I loved that the thing that freed Ymir was seeing Mikasa kill Eren even if she loved him, the thing she couldn't do with the king 😢

Peak story telling from beginning to end. What a masterpiece series and phenomenal ending.

I'm gonna have to watch this one later until I'm in a comfy place to cry 😭😭😭

They didn't realise that mikasa with jhon visitted the the grave, refering that they are together from a flashforward from few episodes back

Piek’s English voice actress did such an epic job. Her delivery is always so good. The English titan screams I think are way more chilling too. The sound Annie made when she threw Mikasa gave me goose bumps lol

was re watching their Korra Reactions last night, and thinking to myself "I wonder when they will react to the Final AOT episode" The literal next day.

I hope they react to Vinland Saga next. It's right up their with AOT if bot better. Manga is no contest winner to Vinland

The way you guys discussed the overall theme of the show, that life is absurdly violent but we need to hold onto our joys to create a worthwhile existence... I think Mikasa said it best... "This world is cruel, but it is beautiful." It's wild how much that one quote encapsulates the entire series now, but as usual, Isayama reframed an integral aspect of the series in a profound and beautiful way. Happy to have been watching since you guys started posting reactions :')

I love Zeke building sandcastles during what is essentially the end of the world. He's so iconic. One of my favorite characters to be honest. I absolutely love the moment of Armin saying thank you to Eren and it cuts to Eren looking shocked because it feels very reminiscent of Mikasa thanking Eren for wrapping her scarf. Both Armin and Mikasa thanked Eren for helping them and showed him appreciation when he thought he was worthless. They told him that he was worth something. That he didn't have to ever share that burden alone. 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.

Montana's Breaking Bad comparison was so on point. Eren is very similar to Walter, and that scene with Armin was just like the final scene with Skylar.

I really want them to react to Attack on Titan Junior High. I know it's a short series, but I think they'll love how wholesome it is

Historia's child was shown at the same time as Eren's death, because that's how Titatan's power is transferred. If the titan doesn't pass on his power before he dies, it will go to a random newborn Eldian. If Eren had not destroyed the Titans power, the child of Historias would have been born an Attack Titan and died at the age of 12. Just wow. Incredible anime

Now that you’re done with the finale, you should go rewatch and see just how much of a genius Isayama is

Levi's roar as he fired the last thunder spear gives me goosebumps

i think the reactions for the ending when manga came out were worse because the anime was able to fix some things that were really rushed and some problems with the writing. one more thing, i agree with montana on the eren take, because he literally says he wanted to see earth flattened, so doing it for his friends was just an excuse (many of his companions died cause of that so yeah, i think it’s really similar to walter white, really selfish)

Eren needed the motivation to do what he's doing now. That's why he lead that titan to his mom. Even loved Mikasa and wanted her for himself but he needed to let her go. Eren's goal was for his friends to live long happy live and they did. Thousands of years later the fight kept going because that's what people do. It's deep. It's a beautiful tragedy.

1:56:10 Funny thing about that is a small part of season 1 had an older version of Armin as a narrator prompting fans to speculate that Eren would've died in the end of the story.

This was the series that both introduced me to anime and introduced me to your channel, I’m very happy you guys enjoyed it!

Here's my take about Mikasa's life after the rumbling. White flowers are liteally common for funerals, it doesn't always mean purity or virginity. Mikasa had a ring on her finger and she didn't pass down the Ackerman symbol to her kid because her family's purpose was no longer to protect the Kings. Her son probably took his father's last name too. Mikasa was only 19 and Eren himself said he wanted her to be happy and continue to live. He would always be a part of her life and she would never forget him, that's why Jean was there to be with Mikasa and got married with her because he understood. The ending where Mikasa visited Eren's grave with a man and a kid, that was Jean and their kid.

Also, Eren's "efforts" were not pointless. He achieved his goal of having his friends living long peaceful lives. He never meant for everlasting peace.

4:06 We can actually see that Ackerman blood at work here. Both Mikasa and Levi are aware that projectiles have been thrown at the plane,, because their blood gives them a supernatural ability to understand when the people they love are in danger.

To clear up the time loop stuff, the loop starts when Eren kissed Historia’s hand and ended whith his death. The bit at the first episode is a memory sent to young Eren

OKAY SO like i agree that we don’t really need a follow up abt the kid with the dog, but i would really like to see a spinoff about the main group just,, living their lives. armin and annie getting together. connie reuniting with his mom. gabi and falco being wholesome awkward teenagers in love. levi opening a lil tea shop or something and unintentionally becoming a cool uncle for his former squad’s kids. and I KNOW it won’t happen because this was just the perfect way to end the show but wouldn’t it be cool to see eren’s friends living long and happy lives like he wanted them to.

That Riener bit ending w/ the bell was funny af

When you guys have a space for it you should REALLY consider watching Vinland Saga. Only 2 seasons ATM but a VERY mature and well told story more in line with Attack on Titan. Easily one of the best anime in the last few years.

Its worth noting that, while one *can* take away that the last little scene with the boy and his dog in the far future is alluding to the reality that conflict is cyclical and will always exist, that is *not* in any way confirmed by the scene either. Its left open ended for a reason. Its also worth noting the specific differences the scene had when compared to the scene where we see Ymir first enter the tree. In Ymir's scene, she was afraid and panicking, desperate for a way to live and protect herself, being chased by rabid dogs that could smell her blood. Because of that, when the source of all living matter or whatever you want to think of it as, attached itself to Ymir, it manifested, as Zeke said, a "Seamingly immortal body" in which no one would be able to hurt her anymore. It could be said that what was created as a result of the attaching of that source to Ymir, has some kind of correlation to Ymir's desires and needs themselves, meaning that the creation of the first Titan, is a direct result of the connection between Ymir and that source. Maybe, if it had connected to someone else, in different circumstances, something else would have been created. When we see this young adventurer, he is calm and peaceful, accompanied by a friendly dog and wrapped around a similar scarf to the one Eren once passed on to Mikasa. A symbol of their connection, and in Mikasa's specific case, Home. This is a *deliberate* contrast to Ymir's circumstances and feelings at the time of finding this source of all living matter. From a Mangaka's perspective, when you have to story board, and plan out every single specific component of your drawings, nothing you put on the page is accidental, if you're a good and passionate author at least. Everything takes time to create and is thus, there for a purpose, to communicate something, whether specific or ambiguous. Because of this, i dont think the most likely result of this boy finding the source of all living matter, is another Titan curse. It symbolizes the birth of something new, a new cycle, maybe one of conflict, or one thatll come to represent a more peaceful and understanding generation. Its the hope behind the birth of something new. Regardless, the story isnt blind to the reality that conflict will always be a part of Humanity either, its why we see Paradis being eventually destroyed in the distant future anyway, in some new war, maybe tied to the conflicts of the past, maybe not. But i also feel this story has also always communicated that, the only hope of us comming to create a better tomorrow, a future where we can understand each other, is to not give up and always fight as though it *is* a possibility, because if we dont even try, thats when we guarantee itll never happen anyway. Or, i guess, how Historia herself phrases it, much less convoluted and in a less cheesy way than i did, "If we must fight, let it be for an end to fighting..." Personally i love the ending to this story, both thematically and in how it handled the end of all of the character's arcs. Maybe it could have been paced better, or even had a more concrete and certain way of delivering specific answers to us. Personally though, for various reasons, i think everything that needs to be there, is there and i loved the nuance and attention to detail in the dialogue and visuals themselves working together to point us in the direction of the some of the more obscure answers that wouldnt make sense for our characters to suddenly come out and just gives us an essay on why they all are and happened in the way that they did. I guess what im trying to say is, i wouldnt have had this story end in any other way. I hope a lot of the people that dont feel the same eventually at least come to terms with what we got, either on a rewatch, or just come to peace with the reality that this story has ended, and this is the ending we got. Then maybe we can start actually looking at what the story *said* and communicated, rather than what we *wish* was said instead.

You guys must react to all oppenings and endings with lyrics, not the 1:30 min but the entire songs. And the most popular ost of the show the foreshadowing and the paradox of the character of Eren Will be so much clear.

I used to think the credits scenes made things pointless. But then I considered the alternative being so much more unrealistic. The story events happen and then conflict ceases to exist for the rest of time. The end. That’s just not how humanity rolls. Anyway. What an incredible show, memorable characters, heavy themes, amazing music, impeccable writing. This was my first anime and it has spoiled other shows for me time and time again. There are hundreds of moments that take my breath away, build incredible hype, and make me bawl like a baby. The mystery of the first three seasons, and then the world flipping on its head for the rest of the show. Attack on Titan is generational and will be my personal favorite for decades to come. Thank you Isayama. Your work is a horrifying yet beautiful reflection of humanity. Mappa, Wit, everyone involved, sub, dub. Hats off to you. Attack on Titan stands alone with no equal.

I want to be friends with these two, they seem like good people.

I’d love see y’all react to the differences in how the Japanese vas and the English vas do the big scenes, Reiner and bertholt reveal, Levi yelling Kenny, all the big moments. Both sets of vas are NUTS and I love the differences they have

Regarding paradis being bombed it’s worth mentioning that the imagery implies the bombing happened 500-1000 years after Mikasa’s death. Our heroes achieved a relative peace within their lifetimes and tragedy happening centuries later doesn’t make their efforts pointless.

when i saw levi go insane at the end with ODM gear just made me think of the time he said " Can any of you actually kill him? "

When the boy finally finds the tree I took it as hopeful. Even after the world seemingly ends there is this boy with his dog calmly exploring the world (like Armin and, in part, Eren wanted with the book and all that). It's a direct parallel to Yrmir when she found the tree. Yrmir was running in a panic, and the boy walked calmly. Yrmir was chased by dogs, and the boy had a friendly dog with him. Yrmir was hurt and bleeding, the boy had bandages around his wounds. It seems that even if the boy awakens any power in there, it would be much more benevolent this time. Even if we constantly self-destruct we learn and there is hope, even if at great cost.

I was shocked to see that Montana is the first reactor to actually know what an okapi is. Shame on me for ever doubting, it's never going to happen again.

If you didn't notice, you can count the seasons that pass added to the three years to see that Mikasa waited the 10 years, just like Eren wanted, before finding someone else, then ended up with someone who looked suspiciously like Jean.

But Eren did said "of course i conviced myself that i did it for you guys, but i wanted to have this view". It also reminded me of Braking Bad lol

The more times I rewatch, the more of a masterpiece this series becomes.🙏

29:39 She's the only reactor I've seen that knows what an okapi is

ok watching this with you guys was a crying fest for me. Thank you for being so vulnerable

The english dub is so good for this show and for the finale, I preferred this to the original japanese version because while the voice actors are good there too, the subtitles are not good and takes me away from the experience. Also, Armin's VA is pristine in this version.

This ending was an amazing masterpiece.

OMG it's happening!!!

46:43 Oh btw the allied titan you two saw is Eren Kruger's titan with this signature move.

Your Attack on titan season 1 reactions were the first videos I saw from this channel. Aot is my 2nd favourite anime and it's been amazing watching this show with you guys. Thank you❤❤

Attack on titan is the best solo standing piece of fiction ive ever seen.

It’s crazy. I found this channel because of AOT and now it’s over.

I scrolled far down and Nobody is talking about those funny A** edits 😂 the screaming milkshake guy and Berleezy’s IS THAT THE GRIM REAPER!?
