Gabi Braun and Falco Grice have been training their entire lives to inherit one of the seven Titans under Marley's control and aid their nation in eradicating the Eldians on Paradis. However, just as all seems well for the two cadets, their peace is suddenly shaken by the arrival of Eren Yeager and the remaining members of the Survey Corps.
Having finally reached the Yeager family basement and learned about the dark history surrounding the Titans, the Survey Corps has at long last found the answer they so desperately fought to uncover. With the truth now in their hands, the group set out for the world beyond the walls.
In Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season, two utterly different worlds collide as each party pursues its own agenda in the long-awaited conclusion to Paradis' fight for freedom.
A Glance at Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season
“Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season”, or better known as “Attack on Titan: The Final Season” to English-speaking fans, serves as the grandiose conclusion to Hajime Isayama’s epic saga of grit, survival, and the resilience of the human spirit. This season delves deep into the lore’s dynamics, reformulating the premises known so far while reintroducing the battled-hardened protagonists in an environment that’s as politically charged as it is physically dangerous. No wall can hide the truth, no ocean can drown the past, and no Titan can crush the resolute will of mankind.
Guess what’s beyond those towering, atrocious walls? More walls? Sea? Or simply the naked, brutal truth? The story takes several giant leaps forward, unravelling beyond the confines of Paradis Island and forcefully immersive the audience into the broader AoT universe. The stakes are higher than ever, battles more explosive, and the lines of good and evil blurrier than they’ve ever been.
The Anime Critic Weighs In

It’s the apotheosis of all the suspense, shock, and raw emotion the past seasons have been carefully crafting. It’s both a stunning departure and a fitting continuation of the series, straddling both horror and humanity in the intriguing world called AoT.
It retains its blockbuster-level action sequences and breath-taking animation quality, courtesy of MAPPA studio that took command of the animation reigns.

And yet, the show’s most commendable achievement is in how it deals with its complex characters. You’ll be forced to rethink your allegiances, sympathize with enemies, and perceive the world in a new light. Every character, every nation has its reasons and justice – a reminder of the anime’s brilliance in crafting a story that goes far beyond the usual black and white moral spectrum.
