Attack on Titan final season part 2 recap

youtube-cover

In Attack on Titan final season part 2, fans saw Eren Yeager “betray” the Survey Corps, overthrowing Paradis’ then-current ruling government with his Jaegerist group. This led to Eren transforming into the Founding Titan form, subsequently activating the Wall Titans and beginning The Rumbling. While he does so to protect his friends, this is something they object to, hence the use of the term “betray.”

With the start of The Rumbling, the Wall Titans are set to trample the rest of the earth, flattening all other lands and killing most every living thing in those lands. Fans saw Armin Arlert, Mikasa Ackerman, Levi Ackerman, and the rest of the Survey Corps try to stop The Rumbling before it left Paradis’ borders. However, they were unsuccessful, forcing them to follow Eren and The Rumbling in an effort to stop it.

Thus, the final moments of the previous part saw the Survey Corps resolve to stop Eren and The Rumbling by any means necessary, despite The Rumbling actually benefiting them. Gabby Braun, Falco Grice, and Annie Leonhart all also decided to join the Survey Corps in an effort to protect their home country of Marley, despite suffering at the hands of Marleyans as Eldians.


What to expect (speculative)

Attack on Titan final season part 3 will likely focus on the aforementioned group’s efforts to stop The Rumbling, with the odds being so against them. Nevertheless, the group will likely not allow a lack of equipment, personnel, or a general plan to stop them from doing whatever they can to break the cycle of suffering and hate.

Resultantly, fans can expect to see this group struggle to stop Eren in Attack on Titan final season part 3. With how grim the situation is, there will almost certainly be a few deaths along the way. While certainly realistic, it’s still upsetting for fans to hear, with the only characters left alive at this point being fan favorites or those generally disliked.

One of the biggest wildcards for the upcoming part is exactly what will be covered in each hour-long special. However, considering the second installment has yet to receive a formal release date, fans can count on the imminently-airing first special to end with a massive cliffhanger.
