The Story So Far
The final chapter of Attack on Titan sees Eren, as the Founding Titan, advance on Fort Salta with countless other Titans. Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Conny, Reiner, Pieck, and Levi, having narrowly escaped the Rumbling, stand as the final line of defense. This confrontation marks the culmination of a long and arduous journey, a clash between former comrades and childhood friends. The stakes are incredibly high as the alliance attempts to stop Eren and save the world from his devastating plans.
The narrative picks up directly from where the previous episodes left off. The alliance confronts the Beast Titan, while other characters regroup. Key moments include Reiner transforming into the Armored Titan to engage Zeke, and the realization that the Paradis Island forces are now fighting against the Rumbling, not with it. The final battle sees our heroes confronting not just Eren, but countless husks of past Titans controlled by Ymir, the originator of the Titans.

Crunchyroll’s Role
Crunchyroll, in collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment, is responsible for the international theatrical release of the film. The streaming service has been instrumental in bringing the series to a global audience and continues to support the franchise. The dubbed version will be available in select locations alongside the original Japanese version with subtitles.
A Satisfying Conclusion
Despite the intense action and high stakes, the finale also aims to deliver a satisfying conclusion to the series. The return of key animators from earlier seasons adds a layer of nostalgia. The final fight scene is both dynamic and visually stunning.
The events leading up to this final showdown include:
- Eren’s initiation of the world-changing Rumbling.
