Although the Attack on Titan anime has ended, some mysteries in the plot remain unresolved or are resolved in a confusing way, leaving a bittersweet taste for devoted followers.
However, most of the important questions have been satisfactorily answered, due to the changes in the anime compared to the manga’s original controversial ending. Studio MAPPA and creator Hajime Isayama have made adjustments, giving the anime the ending it truly deserves, even if the ending isn’t perfect.
1. Can Levi finish Zeke?
Levi Ackerman’s journey to carry out Erwin Smith’s final orders to end Zeke Yeager is one of the most emotional and harrowing in the series. Levi almost took Zeke’s life twice, but the third time, Levi impressively fulfilled his promise, decisively ending Zeke.
2. What is Eren’s motive?
Eren has always been a complex character and his decision to perform Vibration was one of the most controversial points in the series. He wants to wipe out humanity beyond the Wall to create a new future where his friends can survive. Still, this is a morally questionable choice that shows the depth and complexity of the character.
3. Can the scout team stop Eren to stop Tremor?
The final battle is a real test for the Scouts and warriors. The reluctance of characters like Mikasa and Armin to take Eren’s life adds another layer of emotion and conflict to the climax. The joint effort to stop Tremor and Mikasa’s ultimate decision to end Eren’s life are defining moments for humanity’s future, showing the growth and strength of these characters.
4. Who will die in the final battle?
The story of “Attack on Titan” is always cruel towards the lives of the characters, this is evident right from the first parts. The brutality of war does not spare anyone, and this is clearly portrayed in the series. The final battle is the culmination of this theme, with the departure of central characters like Zeke and Eren, and much of humanity’s fate. This conclusion serves as a painful reminder that in war, there are rarely true winners.
5. Will the Titans’ power disappear?
The power of the Titans is a central pillar in the world of “Attack on Titan”, existing throughout a history of domination and conflict. Eren’s promise to destroy the Titans reflects his drive for revenge and justice. The sad paradox turns him from a victim into an aggressor
Eren’s tragic sacrifice caused Titan power to completely disappear from the world. This can be considered a bittersweet victory. However, hints of a recurring cycle of conflict in the anime’s final moments have raised doubts about the true extinction of this power and what it represents for the future.
6. Can Paradis Island be saved?
Eren’s decision to perform Rung Chan, while controversial, was motivated by his desperate desire to protect Paradis. This action, despite Eren’s intentions only brings temporary peace to the island. The Yeagerists’ construction of a powerful army and the ultimate destruction of Paradis by a future attack suggest that removing the Titans’ power only delayed the rise of violence.
The results reiterate the notion that human nature, with its tendency toward conflict and revenge, is a vicious cycle that is difficult to break.
7. Does Eren love Mikasa?
The relationship between Eren and Mikasa is one of the most controversial aspects of the series, which turns out to be tragically romantic. The feelings between them were initially unclear but were shown emotionally and intensely in the final episode of the Attack on Titan anime.
However, this love is marked by tragedy, as Eren becomes trapped in his fate as the last Strike Titan and Founding Father. The late revelation of the couple’s love adds a layer of melancholy to the story, highlighting the often cruel and untimely nature of love and fate.
