@@Shirebaggins.nah war is natural, ants and bees have war about territorial and even bamboons have small battle about territory, every organisms have something to fight about even our white blood cells, it's a part of life
@@Majima669That's bullsh*t because we're capable to think! Are we to the point to think that that war is natural now 🤦♂️And war happens from a few people.
In the beginning, Ymir was chased into the tree by dogs. Now, a boy discovers the tree with his dog. The cycle repeats, but each time a little different. We make the same mistakes, and yet are wiser than before. There is always war, there is always hope.
The cycle won't repeat prolly because the sole reason power of titans existed in the first place was becuase of that parasite who came into contact with ymir but now the parasite is destroyed
This post credit scene is a far cry from S1 of AOT where the story is about giant naked humanoids devouring humans. Truly show how great the world building of this anime.
The way Linked Horizon incorporated the opening notes of the original theme song back into the ending alongside the lyrics about history repeating itself is just bloody brilliant.
Eren did not die in vain. He got what he truly wished for. His friends got to live long lives. He bought time of peace for the Eldians. Rid the world of titans. What happened in the credits scene was hundreds if not thousands of years after these events. He knew the cycle of war was about to happen as it is the inevitable but he ultimately got what he wanted.
@@Y0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0ow well, Titans are still Titans and it is such dangerous power or that boy will be the only one Titan and a Founding Titan and no one will inherit the power and no one to become a regular titans, the Founding Titan is so powerful for a person to handle and he will see all of the memories and the past Eldians and what this power is about and he probably already heard of it as a story a legend a myth by now
It’s quite haunting seeing Mikasa pass on and then seeing the new roads paved, buildings erected, a city skyline built, then rockets and destruction coming down. It’s a reminder that we all will pass on, life will keep moving on, and conflict will always be there way after we’re gone.
It's why there is an important in legacies. Our children are legacies. Our lessons are legacies. Each and every peacful dawn is a legacy. Irwin's words ring true. Each one who falls or passes on, we entrust our memories to the future and those beside us who live. A man is immortal in words and so long as we remember someone and their legacy, then the threat of destruction is pushed back another day.
Mikasa pass on ? Well I didn't see 😅 Mikasa moving on to someone else in the end she was wearing the scarf please feel to correct me I watched movie in that movie there was dialogue there will be war until the world is divided between race,borders, religion that's why wars still to this date
History repeats itself but at least the kid that's about to find that "power" isn't a child slave like ymir. So perhaps history could change if the child use the power in a different way.
Even though this is reality, its honestly depressing seeing how the world progresses and seeing the characters we love become remnants of the past, just like how we eventually will :')
The Ancient Egyptians believed we all die twice. First, when we take our last breath. Second, when our name is spoken for the last time. Kinda depressing
Even if War is part of us, we’re still humans and we can learn from our mistakes and live together and have a long peace but eventually new people with different mentality will take our places and break the balance and the war will start all over again and shake the very foundation of the world
Actually, I’m sure that the main cast that survived became timeless names/ heroes like the Marleyan hero or Alexander the Great irl. They saved humanity after all.
All things die. We can't live forever. Which is why we should do as they did and live our lives out to the fullest. Eren's original goal to kill everyone across the sea was wrong, his friends made him see it. But atleast he was able to secure peace for them. Bought them all, and generations to come, their own little bubble of peace outside of the cycle of human war.
Has no one talked about how the Destruction of Paradise is synced so well to fire lyrics and instrumentals? It’s like visual storytelling with well fire music
If it's any consolation, the city we see getting destroyed here likely has next to nothing in common culturally, ethnically, nationalistically, to the Paradise people we leave. A lot can change of the course of time shown here. The fact the city develops that much indicates most of the characters got a happy-ish ending.
Considering Mikasa died of old age.. I think it’s pretty safe to assume this is more than at least 100 years in the future. I don’t think our remaining cast die in the scenes shown here.
Exactly - which to me also counters the whole "see, the world still hated the Eldians" thing a lot of the haters are pushing. The way I interpret it is the problem was never Titans, its people. There'll always be conflict and people will use whatever weapons are available to them in those conflicts. All we see is a civilisation developing and then being destroyed by a war - and the only reason that city is significant is its because that's where the tree is.
song lyrics The gentle days that time has brought. Like the flowers I sent to you. The secret words I kept to myself, I died with no one to tell. Repeatedly, a requiem for the night. In the coffin, the flowers you loved so much If you forgive your sins, let the dawn shine. Let the earth be full of life, let it give birth and multiply Birds of steel were released into the sky. Freedom has become the bow and arrow of the Red Lotus. "I will repeat it again and again." The stone that is thrown back is not left unturned. Cowardly mankind looked up to the sky The bow and arrow of the underworld, like a meteor. History repeats itself. "And then it returns to nothing." Can you hear me? You must leave the forest. No matter how many times I lost my way. Even in the burnt fields, plants and trees have sprouted. The shadows and lights of civilisation In the caves of the earth that saw everything. What do you know?

1:50 hits so hard seeing this, it depicts so heavy and heartfelt sad... It shows that humanity can never live by without fighting and decimating each other, and how insignificant of their efforts are made by their previous ancestors. Conflict is part of human nature. Also, freedom is temporary, that's a tale as old as time... A beautifully sad ending
@@justsomeguy6336 Only that completing the Rumbling will not guarantee to prevent civil war from humanity of the Island. We even dont know that war happen far from Eren’s time was the result of his choice to only wipe out 80% of humanity outside the Island. Hatred and Rage can be generated within their own people which maybe driven by many reasons.
@@clementlee2124 “won’t stop civil war” -holy shit you people really don’t think do you. It doesn’t matter. All that mattered was Eldia’s freedom from outside forces. And if Eren still had Titan powers he could just prevent a civil war. Oh there was still war with Marley anyway so it doesn’t even matter.
I cant describe the overwhelming emptiness I'm currently feeling, now that the series has ended. After all this time it's now finally over. Forever. Attack on Titan will always have a special place in my heart.
So sad about the end of AOT . This ending show us that it was not the titans the problem, it is just the humans. That is a fantastic lesson. Thanks Isayama!!!
There are only two living beings that can carry the memories of our history: the humans are the ones who carry & pass down the stories of our achievements whether they are joyful or sorrowful, then there is the Earth, our home where it bears the scars of all event caused by each living breathing creatures
Um.....you know Earth has a real tendancy to have this thing called weather. It erodes it's scars if we aren't here to preserve them so no the earth doesn't do that.
This. This is the scene that changed the ending from great, to perfection. It was never supposed to be a happy ending, it was suppose to be real, that things will never change eventually. It’s like the ending of Code Geass, but with an extra layer.
Watching this scene made me think about life. It's sad to think about the end of an era. People live with love, sadness, and tragedy, then die and are forgotten.
It will happen to us all. Everyone will live, pass on, and the world will still keep moving way after we’re gone. It’s haunting when you stop and think about how most of us will eventually be forgotten, but it also serves as a reminder to make the most of it. Cynical and depressed dudes on reddit and 4chan are right in that most of the stuff we do doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, but they fail in remembering that we create meaning and purpose in our own lives. Zeke’s baseball that he tossed around while he was younger was just an object that mattered nothing b but it meant a lot to him and his life. Same thing with Armin’s conche shell. Finding and having our own “baseball” is a beautiful thing to have while we’re still here.
@@angstyteen6042 no it's not. Yams chose a gritty, realistic ending which fits with the "cruel but beautiful" theme of the show. This ain't a fairy tale.
yes, he couldn't change the title of devil's paradise just like the negotiations ended in failure so from the start there were only 2 answers, namely Paradise and they all perished or 80% of humanity fell outside Paradise... what he thinks is to make his friends become heroes for 20% of humanity outside Paradise and his friends can live a long life even though unfortunately many people follow Eren's idealistic ideas in Paradise and in the ending you can see a modern Paradise, Mikasa had a family and died because of old age (although in the data book Mikasa was still a virgin, I don't know), Armin and his other friends also probably didn't die because of the war (we don't know) because the war that caused Modern Paradise to be destroyed definitely wasn't Mikasa and friends' generation. her friend ... and at the end it shows the remains of Paradise civilization and a small child wearing a full body wrap and clothes like the apocalypse era goes into a tree where there is Eren's corpse there...
Not really, he was only able to see as far as he lived. He could guess he was going to lose the battle because he had no memories from further into the future, but what lied beyond that moment was as much of a mistery to him as to anyone else.
The song is so sad and it’s makes me heartbroken like everything they did was absolutely pointless and humanity forgot about what happened and continued fighting each other and now their stories are just legends and myths to be told to the next generation whatever if they believe it’s real or not and Mikasa dying as an old woman with her scarf around her neck and she was buried besides Eren’s grave shows how much love she has for Eren and it’s insane, it’s reminded me of Titanic movie where Rose lived her life and died as an old woman and never forgot her lover at the end of the movie
I'm so glad they got Linked Horizon back for one final hoorah. The bit where the lyrics went 歴史が繰り返す ("history repeats itself") just as the missiles obliterated the new Paradis city gave me goosebumps. Very well choreographed!
To be even clearer in the manga it looked like only a few decades based off of the architecture and technology. This change was just damage control to trick people into thinking that Eren actually accomplished something when in reality he just sealed Paradis’s fate by not completing the rumbling.
Somewhere in the timeline, when Paradis Island industrialized and commerce began evolving at an exponential rate mirroring our society today - there is a descendant of the Ackermans in some boring office job wondering why he/she feels no fulfillment at work while unbeknownst to them they have the bloodline of the king's warriors flowing through them.
The saddest thing is that no matter what, the world got what they wanted: the destruction of Paradise Island. People never learn. Seeing Mikasa’s body was like seeing an end of an era, all of the OG survey corps are gone.
@@UmQasaann the world will genocide eldians because their ancestor, eren the devil, killed 80% of humanity once already. it could happen again, except it won’t, because eldians won’t even have titan powers to defend themselves.
@@TheNameIsAbelThat will have little to do with the future, Eren made sure that that would not happen at least for a long time. By the time the world recovers, the Titans will have already been a legend.
Bless Linked Horizon. They make AoT felt like an epic war with their style, like literally felt like what national anthem was supposed to make you feel
Well I for one wouldn't be surprised if multiple rocket launch systems are still around in the far future. Not like every sci fi weapon has to be a energy weapon.
Could be that the humanity outside Paradis had been technologically regressed because of the Rumbling and had to pick up pieces, while Paradis was left unscathed and progressed smoothly. So it would kinda make sense for Paradis to have the advantage in technology, but not in numbers. Paradis might have the futuristic sci-fi weapons and the humanity outside Paradis having modern weapons, what really counts in war is the combination of tactics, strategy, logistics and numbers
@@cocowarrior211 I dunno 80% was wiped out and it wasn't like nuking or something but a consistent wave. There where probably many countries outside that didn't have a titan show up in their lands. Like the scenes implied that shortly before it ended they got as far as London India and Japan. But northern Europe and China where probably completely untouched. The supply chain collapsing and refugees flooding in and creating chaos might have been a issue though.
We don't know when this is supposed to happen, some people says this is thousands of years later, if that's the case its completely unrealistic; humanity wouldn`t stagnate like that. I personally believe that the big buildings shown aren't that far from our current timeline, maybe 2050 or 2060. If that's the case it would made sense that older techs are still used: Think that we still use the century-old Browning MG today, T-54's are being fielded in Ukraine and the AK-47 is still a widespread weapon in poor countries.
People suggesting happier endings completely miss out the point the author was trying to make. This story was about the dark human nature and even an all mighty being can't change it.
no one suggested a happier ending. This *was* the happy ending people don’t realize that. The alternative ending would result in Eren winning and killing his friends in the process. It is so much more dark than this
No. The point was to show that despite how bad human nature is, humanity can still achieve some form of peace and understanding via the small things in life. Take Zeke for example. All he ever wanted to do was play baseball with his step dad. Even if he thinks he and all the Eldians don’t deserve to live, he still wishes that he could just play baseball all day with his step dad. It’s YOU who is missing out on the point. The ending is literally the most happiest and optimistic it can get, as we know peace lasted for hundreds if not thousands of years in the post-credits scene.
@@Nobody32990 I'm not sure how you got that from the fact that everyone from the original cast will be long-dead when Paradis is attacked and destroyed in the far future. Eren gave his friends a lifetime of freedom by being the one to take away the Titans and push humanity back into the Stone Age so they wouldn't be able to retaliate once he was dealt with as the final boss. From what we have seen, everyone got a chance to live a life how they wanted to live, with all of them dying of old age. The only thing that seems indecisive is that people want this eternal happy ending, even though the series has shown time and time again the dark side of human nature and the willingness to kill each other, as the Titans were just a means to an end. When technology advances, the Titans are replaced with something else that could take a massive amount of life. Eren did what he set out to do, and those he cared about got to walk a clear path until the end of their lives; what happens years and years after they died wasn't for him to decide anymore nor be able to direct humanity away from self-destruction. This was the happy ending but was more so bittersweet.
A lot of people hate the ending because they think this scene is Marley destroying Paradis because they still hate Eldians, and it means that Eren failed to save Paradis... nah, Paradis grew and was prosperous for hundreds of years at least, and that war could've been over anything. All civilizations fall eventually, not just in anime but in real life.
Nah, the outside world would've taken more significant time to recover with all that titan foot fetish smashing going on around the world. Plus, the ecosystems would be fucked to recover. With Eldia's Superiority, it would be high time that an independent civilization could establish itself without being instantly invaded by Paradis. Plus, all the ethnic cleansing of the survivors that would happen and brainwashing of the youth.
I remember being able to watch season 1 on netflix over and over again because the action was so cool. Now that the series is done. I feel like I have to give it a respectable watch.
Wars, violence will never disappear from this world. Fighting, dying... and lifes are meaningless. But the happiness is all of those people we love could rest in peace and old age.

Unless it wasn't. From the looks of it Paradis at the very least achieved futuristic civilization now more than in the manga, war is inevitable, what he could do is give the generations to come a choice to partake or actively went against it. Without the bondage that is walls, nor terror of the titans. 20% of world populations' still so much more than Paradis' yet here they are, coexisting for the centuries to come. Even now, in our lifetime, the same logic applies. Him leaving Paradis as the sole survivor wouldn't suffice too, as the future generations might as well condemn his actions, truly.. It would spark yet another conflict with the Yaegerists.
@@naufalmEZa the thing is that both Grisha and eren started all this because they wanted to stop war. And now eren killed billons for nothing, yes war is inevitable but Even someone like ozzymandias who was the one to say "killing millons to save billons" will point at that this plan had no endgame
In the end, his friends got to live peaceful lives in a world rid of titans. I’d say he accomplished his goal. What we see in the end is definitely thousands of years later, as seen by the development of society (and especially the growth of the tree)
@thelegacyofgaming2928 eren didn't care about the island itself he cared about his friends and loved ones on the island and guess what they got to live in peace and die of old age Eren got exactly what he wanted he trampled 80% of humanity and saved his friends
The real message of AoT is that life is worth protecting, even if it keeps trying to destroy itself. There's never going to be a hero who will create peace forever. We have to keep trying to do it ourselves, every second of every day. Yeah, war is an unavoidable part of the human condition, but we need to keep trying to stop them every time anyway, because even one second of people joining hands instead of killing each other is worth fighting for.
It is indeed a sad day. Attack on Titan has finally ended. After 10 years, it has finally been put to rest. I still remember it like it was yesterday. I believe it was around March or April of 2014.A classmate of mine in high school introduced me to the show. She showed me some clips and it looked interesting. Then I one day in April I saw the Toonami trailer and it really peaked my interest. Then one day of the same month I watched a video called Top 5 saddest anime deaths and the first death on the list was Eren’s mom. Saw that and I was sold. Hopped on Netflix and watched the first episode and got sucked in. I watched every episode during what remained in April leading to May of that same year. I wanted more and started reading the manga and was shocked to learn that there was more titans and reveals. I wanted to see all this stuff animated. But sadly the second season took too long but I watched the chibi shorts and OVAs and started watching the dub. There was even a lot of AOT fan videos and content ranging from Abridged series, cosplay, video games, etc. Attack on Titan was one of my favorite animes to watch during the summer of 2014. I still remember the amount of merchandise that year. AOT’s popularity was at its highest in 2014. But sadly somewhere in 2015 I believe the summer of that year its popularity started to drop. I could barely see any merchandise for it in stores. While games and the live action movies and stuff did try to keep it relevant as much as possible but luckily the trailer for season 2 finally arrived at the end of 2016. Then spring of 2017 AOT was back and better than ever. Sure Season 2 was 12 episodes but it did so much in those 12 episodes. I would still continue to read the manga once a new chapter hit each month. And with a new season coming out every year and divided into parts we didn’t have to worry about another 3 or 4 year gap. There was enough material to work with from the manga now. And the manga ended in 2021 but the anime was still going. But now we must truly say goodbye to such a great series. Farewell Attack on Titan. You gave us so many memories in these last 10 years and they won’t be forgotten. I hope someday new anime fans enjoy you just as much as we all did. Good bye.
It's beautiful how throughout all the destruction life finds a way to continue and move on, it really shows that the point of life is to enjoy it as much as you can
Not a big fan of the ending but I get the fact that war never ends. Fate Zero showed this idea that so long as humanity lives, you can’t purge it of evil. I highly doubt this is even retribution for the rumbling; could be a result of some other geopolitical tension.
you can purge the evil we just didn't do it right this time. that's why I see a grain of hope in the ending seeing that titans still exist. the founding titan had the power of eugenics and could create infrastructure at will. if used right this power could purge most if not all evil. it can also inversely be used to create the most horrific atrocities. just be better.
Well the rumbling wasn’t really pointless the island had peace for probably several centuries or more. Plus it isn’t like Eren erased war . The island probably got nuked a multitude of reasons . I mean the yeagerist probably didn’t make the most reasonable military government
@@I--benn--I I imagine it had nothing to do with the rumbling at that point. It looked to be around 150 years later. Thats more than enough time for new reasons to kill to appear
I read the manga after before the final chapters came out in a anime and its very strange how well this song mimics the emotion i felt seeing these last few pages where they end civilization just to end up back where they started
way back I was always frustrated with the final page showing eldia getting destroyed because it felt like everything Eren did was in in vain. But with this anime and having isayama flesh it out way more made me really love the ending and appreciate it more for some reason. Armin and his friends were able to bring peace and help eldia thrive but humanity at its core is selfish at nature and war and conflict will be inevitable something Eren clarified to the audience. All it takes is some idiot given power to let that happen to start a whole conflict like Eren did. But one thing for sure is that as long as we keep moving forward humanity might find the long lasting peace we have been looking for since the dawn of mankind. Even though Eren was a slave to freedom he always kept moving forward to the bitter end for his people, his family, and his friends. Aot will forever be peak fiction.
Let me correct you a little bit. Eren didn't start the conflict It was started by Marley that want all Titan power for themselves, so they convince whole world via Willy Tybur to genocide Paradise Island population. Eren just give them back all they wish for Paradise
All of that suffering just for humans to blow themselves up anyways. It's truly one of the most tragic endings ever. It's not the thing we wanted to see, but what we NEEDED to see. Also, the guy at the end may be the first founding titan in history to be truly free, since he seems to be a free-spirited explorer with no tragic past. All of the previous founders were enslaved in some way. That would mean that this new kid is actually going to use the power for good, instead of violence.
As the commander said when the Marley airships were dispatched to the advancing giants, mankind endlessly hated and hated each other until a situation where everyone had to unite, and was trapped in that bond and reached the point of destruction. The world that's never been known as the giant will eventually aim its guns at each other, and if you're unlucky, you'll end up with such an annihilation... It's grim that this is a foregone future, whether it's a success or failure like the original. In the end, even in the distant future, the remaining humans split and hated each other, and not only Paradi, but also the entire human race was destroyed by the nuclear war
Seeing the additions that have been made since the original final chapter release has been a wild ride. Following the series for over a decade even more so, watching the ending i didn't only think of the story itself, it also made me reminisce about the past decade as a whole...
Since the very first seasons, Isayama clearly stated that the actual ending of AOT would be nihilistic, where everyone died. I guess this is what he meant, just a bit differently to what he originally intended, but ultimately still that, everyone died and things still continued.
My main critique with the manga ending was that paradise looked like it was only decades before shinganshina was bombed, but here it looked like it was hundreds of years in the future. The rest of paradise could be fine as well, and clearly life goes on on paradise. I can accept things ending this way.
-Will this war really end all wars? -Can a war really end all wars? -Will this war bring an other war? -It's the war to end all wars -- Sabaton Versaille
Eren did not die in vain nor did anyone else. Notice the contrast between how Ymir enters the tree and the boy. While Soldiers chases Ymir down and hunts her with dogs, the boy is entering peacefully with his dog by his side rather than against him. This highlight that while the existence of titans is a constant cycle, their purpose is not.
@@UmQasaannThe song title implies it to be 2,000-20,000 years in the future; anything could have happened. The vehicles and missiles could have been from Marley, the Mid East, Hizuru, or even from other Eldians in a rebellion or civil war. It's so far in the future that those nations and ethnicities may not even exist by that time. The war could have been over anything and between anyone. The point isn't "tHe jAeGeRiStS wErE riGhT", the point is that, while Eren's actions allowed his friends to live out the rest of their lives in peace, human conflict is inevitable no matter what we do in our short lives here. Even if Eren had killed 100% of everyone outside the walls leaving only the Eldians, the Eldians themselves eventually would've started killing each other, just as they did in the Great Titan War and throughout the show. Maybe if that were the ending, all the Jaegerists in these comments would finally get it.
@@amongusgaming8368 Every person who liked the ending talks like you,did you all had a meeting to how harras people that does'nt have the same opinion as you? You all sound the same,what did'nt i understand because the ending had a lot of "i dont know" thats not good story telling
@@presixnine Yes,people from marley while the rumbling was close to them decide to fight the innocent eldian who wanted to help them even after the general said he will never do the same mistake again and not 30 second later he broke that promise same after they was saved by armin and the scout he threaten to kill their savior,,saving them was amistake people like that will never learn and so dont deserve any pity or saving from a total annihilation
Something I really hated about the manga ending was how the end of Paradis was immediately shown right after Mikasa’s death, leaving the implication that everything the cast did still lead to the island being bombed just mere decades after the Rumbling. But here, we see it destroyed after it evolved to a state similar looking to Coruscant from Star Wars, having to be hundreds to even THOUSANDS of years later. It leads me to believe whatever led to that society’s destruction likely had nothing to do with the world even remotely remembering the events of the series.
Manga had the more realistic ending, tbh. Mikasa was probably 80 years old when she died and Paradis being destroyed not long after her death isn't too big a stretch. That the peace lasted for 80 some years is a miracle considering the horrors of the Rumbling and the fallout that came from it.
2:04 Gotta love how the cityscape of Paradis looked like it was already in ruins. I guess somebody decided they might as well bomb it to shit just for good measure.
Of course, the rest of the world would never forget the horror that the Eldians brought upon them, they literally waited for hundreds of years just to destroy Paradis once and for all
The rest of the world will eventually go back and declare war against each other like they usually do after if they destroyed Paradise and Paradise will declare war against each other too after if they destroy the world.. humans sucks Lol
I am really happy they brought back Linked horizon for a final song. I remember being really disappointed at first with the new openings so this here is cool
I remember when AOT was just a show that everyone skipped but I’m glad I paid attention to the story. 2013/2023. Here’s to more great stories if we shall see any like it again.
"When Titans were the greatest threat, Titans were the enemy. When countries were the greatest threat, countries were the enemy. For as long as people hold firm to different beliefs, there will always be an enemy." - Season 4 episode 27
And for the new generation to discover its secrets and its history and make a new story and conflicts against each other and make a goal a dream to achieve and they might live achieving that dream or die trying or let others do it after your death and see the results of all of that, it’s like the cycle of life.. oh god this is so depressing
Eren did mentioned that even if he did not stop the Rumbling, around 20% of the world population will survive so he did what he think is the best outcome to make Armin and his friend “hero” like Tybur family
You are completely missing the point, even if only paradisians survived there would still be conflicts abämong them, beside this conflict has nothing to do with eldians or Marleyans, it takes place centuries after the ending
"Humans will only stop fighting on the day when only one human is left" - Erwin Doesn't matter if he wipes 100% of Marley, or 0%, it would've ended up in war anyway.
The most touching part of this is that in the end the Titans have nothing to do with it. War happens and the cycle repeats, but merely because of human being humans.
It was never the Titans that caused conflict. Unfortunately it’s in human nature. As Erwin says “Peace between man will never be, not until our numbers drop to 1 or less”
@@twiddlerat9920 Kinda forgot they would have genocided the eldians if eren didn't genocide them first. This isn't an eldian problem but one with human nature. Marley didn't even care about eldians but just wanted to keep the military edge they had against other countries.
The cycle of life repeats itself endlessly marching onwards from death to rebirth of a civilization, and we would never know it. Think of: Atlantis, Mu, Lemuria, Shangri-La, Avalon -- what if these were real? It was just lost to the vastness of time. Even the Romans will be forgotten and people will only hear distant legends of them distorted through time. So many morals and ethics being questioned. Is life meaningless, what is freedom, what are we fighting for? Had me really thinking. THANK YOU Isayama. *bows down*
@@chinavirus841but he is right, people thousands of years later probably think that titans are just fictional and folklore. The real story is lost, no one knows what happened to eldia and the titans
*This would happen, but later. The people of Paradis would conquer the Earth and start destroying themselves again.* Floch was only right when he said, "If Eren is defeated, Paradis will be destroyed". That also doesn't specify about Eldians and how they went everywhere.

In the beginning, Ymir was chased into the tree by dogs. Now, a boy discovers the tree with his dog. The cycle repeats, but each time a little different. We make the same mistakes, and yet are wiser than before. There is always war, there is always hope.
I thought it was a pig
@PhenomenalOne1000 no she was chased beacuse she let a pig out but dogs chased her to the tree
I like this interpretation
That kid is gonna be BEREN. Eren next generation
The cycle won't repeat prolly because the sole reason power of titans existed in the first place was becuase of that parasite who came into contact with ymir but now the parasite is destroyed

What happened in the credits scene was hundreds if not thousands of years after these events. He knew the cycle of war was about to happen as it is the inevitable but he ultimately got what he wanted.
And when the dust settles, his head that became the organism (worm) lie dormant, waiting for the perfect time and host to possess.

It’s quite haunting seeing Mikasa pass on and then seeing the new roads paved, buildings erected, a city skyline built, then rockets and destruction coming down.
It’s a reminder that we all will pass on, life will keep moving on, and conflict will always be there way after we’re gone.
It's why there is an important in legacies.
Our children are legacies.
Our lessons are legacies.
Each and every peacful dawn is a legacy.
Irwin's words ring true. Each one who falls or passes on, we entrust our memories to the future and those beside us who live.
A man is immortal in words and so long as we remember someone and their legacy, then the threat of destruction is pushed back another day.

Yet, history repeats itself again.
Yep
That's how real world to begin with it's always the same, the never ending war, peace cycle.
as long as humans are there.. the notion of a true world peace cannot exist.. I love this endng because It reflects our world today ..
thats the message of attack on titan never bother to fight because nothing will change
History repeats itself but at least the kid that's about to find that "power" isn't a child slave like ymir. So perhaps history could change if the child use the power in a different way.
Even though this is reality, its honestly depressing seeing how the world progresses and seeing the characters we love become remnants of the past, just like how we eventually will :')
The Ancient Egyptians believed we all die twice. First, when we take our last breath. Second, when our name is spoken for the last time.
Kinda depressing
You're only truly dead when your name is forgotten.
Even if War is part of us, we’re still humans and we can learn from our mistakes and live together and have a long peace but eventually new people with different mentality will take our places and break the balance and the war will start all over again and shake the very foundation of the world
Actually, I’m sure that the main cast that survived became timeless names/ heroes like the Marleyan hero or Alexander the Great irl. They saved humanity after all.
All things die. We can't live forever. Which is why we should do as they did and live our lives out to the fullest. Eren's original goal to kill everyone across the sea was wrong, his friends made him see it. But atleast he was able to secure peace for them. Bought them all, and generations to come, their own little bubble of peace outside of the cycle of human war.
This final scene legitimately fills me with existential dread. It’s a reminder of the passage of time, and how nothing will ever truly last.
For me the outside world was the true enemy of Paradis. They will find many reasons to genocide the Eldians even if Titan powers disappear.

@jamilleyomtown Men do, through the roads they walk. And this road, has reached its end.
If it's any consolation, the city we see getting destroyed here likely has next to nothing in common culturally, ethnically, nationalistically, to the Paradise people we leave. A lot can change of the course of time shown here. The fact the city develops that much indicates most of the characters got a happy-ish ending.
Yeah, this has to happen hundreds of years later
Considering Mikasa died of old age.. I think it’s pretty safe to assume this is more than at least 100 years in the future. I don’t think our remaining cast die in the scenes shown here.
@@jimmybob5541hundreds? The end of the song has Eren state it is TWENTY THOUSAND years
Exactly - which to me also counters the whole "see, the world still hated the Eldians" thing a lot of the haters are pushing.
The way I interpret it is the problem was never Titans, its people. There'll always be conflict and people will use whatever weapons are available to them in those conflicts.
All we see is a civilisation developing and then being destroyed by a war - and the only reason that city is significant is its because that's where the tree is.

The gentle days that time has brought.
Like the flowers I sent to you.
The secret words I kept to myself, I died with no one to tell.
Repeatedly, a requiem for the night.
In the coffin, the flowers you loved so much
If you forgive your sins, let the dawn shine.
Let the earth be full of life, let it give birth and multiply
Birds of steel were released into the sky.
Freedom has become the bow and arrow of the Red Lotus.
"I will repeat it again and again."
The stone that is thrown back is not left unturned.
Cowardly mankind looked up to the sky
The bow and arrow of the underworld, like a meteor.
History repeats itself.
"And then it returns to nothing."
Can you hear me? You must leave the forest.
No matter how many times I lost my way.
Even in the burnt fields, plants and trees have sprouted.

In the caves of the earth that saw everything.

The anime made the buildings futuristic but still kept the 1980s artillery lmao.
Well I for one wouldn't be surprised if multiple rocket launch systems are still around in the far future. Not like every sci fi weapon has to be a energy weapon.
Could be that the humanity outside Paradis had been technologically regressed because of the Rumbling and had to pick up pieces, while Paradis was left unscathed and progressed smoothly.
So it would kinda make sense for Paradis to have the advantage in technology, but not in numbers. Paradis might have the futuristic sci-fi weapons and the humanity outside Paradis having modern weapons, what really counts in war is the combination of tactics, strategy, logistics and numbers
@@cocowarrior211 I dunno 80% was wiped out and it wasn't like nuking or something but a consistent wave.
There where probably many countries outside that didn't have a titan show up in their lands.
Like the scenes implied that shortly before it ended they got as far as London India and Japan. But northern Europe and China where probably completely untouched.
The supply chain collapsing and refugees flooding in and creating chaos might have been a issue though.
We don't know when this is supposed to happen, some people says this is thousands of years later, if that's the case its completely unrealistic; humanity wouldn`t stagnate like that.
I personally believe that the big buildings shown aren't that far from our current timeline, maybe 2050 or 2060.
If that's the case it would made sense that older techs are still used: Think that we still use the century-old Browning MG today, T-54's are being fielded in Ukraine and the AK-47 is still a widespread weapon in poor countries.

People suggesting happier endings completely miss out the point the author was trying to make. This story was about the dark human nature and even an all mighty being can't change it.

@@Nobody32990and you obviously don't understand what bad writing is
no one suggested a happier ending. This *was* the happy ending people don’t realize that. The alternative ending would result in Eren winning and killing his friends in the process. It is so much more dark than this
No. The point was to show that despite how bad human nature is, humanity can still achieve some form of peace and understanding via the small things in life.
Take Zeke for example. All he ever wanted to do was play baseball with his step dad. Even if he thinks he and all the Eldians don’t deserve to live, he still wishes that he could just play baseball all day with his step dad.
It’s YOU who is missing out on the point. The ending is literally the most happiest and optimistic it can get, as we know peace lasted for hundreds if not thousands of years in the post-credits scene.
@@Nobody32990 I'm not sure how you got that from the fact that everyone from the original cast will be long-dead when Paradis is attacked and destroyed in the far future. Eren gave his friends a lifetime of freedom by being the one to take away the Titans and push humanity back into the Stone Age so they wouldn't be able to retaliate once he was dealt with as the final boss. From what we have seen, everyone got a chance to live a life how they wanted to live, with all of them dying of old age. The only thing that seems indecisive is that people want this eternal happy ending, even though the series has shown time and time again the dark side of human nature and the willingness to kill each other, as the Titans were just a means to an end. When technology advances, the Titans are replaced with something else that could take a massive amount of life.
Eren did what he set out to do, and those he cared about got to walk a clear path until the end of their lives; what happens years and years after they died wasn't for him to decide anymore nor be able to direct humanity away from self-destruction.
This was the happy ending but was more so bittersweet.
A lot of people hate the ending because they think this scene is Marley destroying Paradis because they still hate Eldians, and it means that Eren failed to save Paradis... nah, Paradis grew and was prosperous for hundreds of years at least, and that war could've been over anything. All civilizations fall eventually, not just in anime but in real life.
The outside world will find many reasons to genocide the Eldians even if Titan powers disappear.
Nah, the outside world would've taken more significant time to recover with all that titan foot fetish smashing going on around the world. Plus, the ecosystems would be fucked to recover.
With Eldia's Superiority, it would be high time that an independent civilization could establish itself without being instantly invaded by Paradis. Plus, all the ethnic cleansing of the survivors that would happen and brainwashing of the youth.

Grisha: Boy that escalated quickly. I mean it was completly pointless at all...
Unless it wasn't.
From the looks of it Paradis at the very least achieved futuristic civilization now more than in the manga, war is inevitable, what he could do is give the generations to come a choice to partake or actively went against it. Without the bondage that is walls, nor terror of the titans.
20% of world populations' still so much more than Paradis' yet here they are, coexisting for the centuries to come.
Even now, in our lifetime, the same logic applies. Him leaving Paradis as the sole survivor wouldn't suffice too, as the future generations might as well condemn his actions, truly.. It would spark yet another conflict with the Yaegerists.
Yea it was. If Eren completed rumbling, at least Paradis would still be standing. A civil war is no big deal compared to genocide of their entire race

In the end, his friends got to live peaceful lives in a world rid of titans. I’d say he accomplished his goal.

@thelegacyofgaming2928 eren didn't care about the island itself he cared about his friends and loved ones on the island and guess what they got to live in peace and die of old age Eren got exactly what he wanted he trampled 80% of humanity and saved his friends
The real message of AoT is that life is worth protecting, even if it keeps trying to destroy itself. There's never going to be a hero who will create peace forever. We have to keep trying to do it ourselves, every second of every day.
Yeah, war is an unavoidable part of the human condition, but we need to keep trying to stop them every time anyway, because even one second of people joining hands instead of killing each other is worth fighting for.

It is indeed a sad day. Attack on Titan has finally ended. After 10 years, it has finally been put to rest. I still remember it like it was yesterday. I believe it was around March or April of 2014.A classmate of mine in high school introduced me to the show. She showed me some clips and it looked interesting. Then I one day in April I saw the Toonami trailer and it really peaked my interest. Then one day of the same month I watched a video called Top 5 saddest anime deaths and the first death on the list was Eren’s mom. Saw that and I was sold. Hopped on Netflix and watched the first episode and got sucked in. I watched every episode during what remained in April leading to May of that same year. I wanted more and started reading the manga and was shocked to learn that there was more titans and reveals. I wanted to see all this stuff animated. But sadly the second season took too long but I watched the chibi shorts and OVAs and started watching the dub. There was even a lot of AOT fan videos and content ranging from Abridged series, cosplay, video games, etc. Attack on Titan was one of my favorite animes to watch during the summer of 2014. I still remember the amount of merchandise that year. AOT’s popularity was at its highest in 2014. But sadly somewhere in 2015 I believe the summer of that year its popularity started to drop. I could barely see any merchandise for it in stores. While games and the live action movies and stuff did try to keep it relevant as much as possible but luckily the trailer for season 2 finally arrived at the end of 2016. Then spring of 2017 AOT was back and better than ever. Sure Season 2 was 12 episodes but it did so much in those 12 episodes. I would still continue to read the manga once a new chapter hit each month. And with a new season coming out every year and divided into parts we didn’t have to worry about another 3 or 4 year gap. There was enough material to work with from the manga now. And the manga ended in 2021 but the anime was still going. But now we must truly say goodbye to such a great series. Farewell Attack on Titan. You gave us so many memories in these last 10 years and they won’t be forgotten. I hope someday new anime fans enjoy you just as much as we all did. Good bye.
It's beautiful how throughout all the destruction life finds a way to continue and move on, it really shows that the point of life is to enjoy it as much as you can
Not a big fan of the ending but I get the fact that war never ends. Fate Zero showed this idea that so long as humanity lives, you can’t purge it of evil. I highly doubt this is even retribution for the rumbling; could be a result of some other geopolitical tension.
The nuking is at the very least 100 years in the future so anyone who could remember the rumbling are long dead
@@bellabell6659 I mean historian exist and Textbook.
you can purge the evil we just didn't do it right this time. that's why I see a grain of hope in the ending seeing that titans still exist. the founding titan had the power of eugenics and could create infrastructure at will. if used right this power could purge most if not all evil. it can also inversely be used to create the most horrific atrocities. just be better.
The people outside got their revenge and genocided people of Paradis. Eren should have wiped them out.
@@edwinbasa2804how do you know that that conflict is because of the genocide? some 100+ years have passed
Plot twist,Attack on Titan is actually prequel to the adventure time, finn and jake uses Eren’s tree to build a house
Well the rumbling wasn’t really pointless the island had peace for probably several centuries or more. Plus it isn’t like Eren erased war . The island probably got nuked a multitude of reasons . I mean the yeagerist probably didn’t make the most reasonable military government
The nuking takes place so far into the future that you could imagine it barely even was about the Rumbling.
Like the hate of war today isn’t from millenial or centuries ago. People never forget, even rumors could start a conflict.
@@I--benn--I I imagine it had nothing to do with the rumbling at that point. It looked to be around 150 years later. Thats more than enough time for new reasons to kill to appear
Imagine the modern france invading germany because of the franco-prussian war
Nah it was because of the rumbling. The world wouldn’t just forget how a single nation wiped out 80% of their allies.

@@jessealvarado7796 Humans being humans and starting a war against each other
I read the manga after before the final chapters came out in a anime and its very strange how well this song mimics the emotion i felt seeing these last few pages where they end civilization just to end up back where they started
way back I was always frustrated with the final page showing eldia getting destroyed because it felt like everything Eren did was in in vain. But with this anime and having isayama flesh it out way more made me really love the ending and appreciate it more for some reason. Armin and his friends were able to bring peace and help eldia thrive but humanity at its core is selfish at nature and war and conflict will be inevitable something Eren clarified to the audience. All it takes is some idiot given power to let that happen to start a whole conflict like Eren did. But one thing for sure is that as long as we keep moving forward humanity might find the long lasting peace we have been looking for since the dawn of mankind. Even though Eren was a slave to freedom he always kept moving forward to the bitter end for his people, his family, and his friends. Aot will forever be peak fiction.
But at the end, Eldians didn't learn their lesson. They made a military regime to go against the world
@@engel1816 yeah. Tyranny’s and dynasty’s always fall if history tells us
Let me correct you a little bit. Eren didn't start the conflict
It was started by Marley that want all Titan power for themselves, so they convince whole world via Willy Tybur to genocide Paradise Island population. Eren just give them back all they wish for Paradise
It was all in vain. You’re just an NPC that got distracted by the colors and music.
@@justsomeguy6336 his friends were fine so not all of it was. Paradis getting blown to hell was inevitable no matter what.
Eren: *kills 80% of humanity to protect Eldia*
Eldia few years later:
Armin: We did it Mikasa we saved the island!
Bro doesnt have eyes that paradise becoming cyberpunk😂 its already 4-5 centuries
All of that suffering just for humans to blow themselves up anyways. It's truly one of the most tragic endings ever. It's not the thing we wanted to see, but what we NEEDED to see.
Also, the guy at the end may be the first founding titan in history to be truly free, since he seems to be a free-spirited explorer with no tragic past. All of the previous founders were enslaved in some way.
That would mean that this new kid is actually going to use the power for good, instead of violence.
As the commander said when the Marley airships were dispatched to the advancing giants, mankind endlessly hated and hated each other until a situation where everyone had to unite, and was trapped in that bond and reached the point of destruction. The world that's never been known as the giant will eventually aim its guns at each other, and if you're unlucky, you'll end up with such an annihilation... It's grim that this is a foregone future, whether it's a success or failure like the original. In the end, even in the distant future, the remaining humans split and hated each other, and not only Paradi, but also the entire human race was destroyed by the nuclear war
This ending was perfect 🔥🔥🔥

Ain't no way 😂

Eren bin laden
Since the building had no damage, the helicopter was probably shot by a fighter jet
This series went from a dude killing giants to a Series about War and Genocide
An end of an era, it’s really hitting me now.
Seeing the additions that have been made since the original final chapter release has been a wild ride. Following the series for over a decade even more so, watching the ending i didn't only think of the story itself, it also made me reminisce about the past decade as a whole...
Zeke once asked Reiner (and us) "Isn't war a terrible thing?"
I think the brutal end to Paradis answers his question very clearly.
I'd say this is 100% worth the wait
Since the very first seasons, Isayama clearly stated that the actual ending of AOT would be nihilistic, where everyone died. I guess this is what he meant, just a bit differently to what he originally intended, but ultimately still that, everyone died and things still continued.
Dude I was not emotionally prepared for that episode, shit was deep… but as a side note MAPPA would make an insane war based anime
My main critique with the manga ending was that paradise looked like it was only decades before shinganshina was bombed, but here it looked like it was hundreds of years in the future. The rest of paradise could be fine as well, and clearly life goes on on paradise. I can accept things ending this way.
Thousands of years

Eren did not die in vain nor did anyone else. Notice the contrast between how Ymir enters the tree and the boy. While Soldiers chases Ymir down and hunts her with dogs, the boy is entering peacefully with his dog by his side rather than against him. This highlight that while the existence of titans is a constant cycle, their purpose is not.
not a lot of people seemed to point this out, who knows, maybe he’ll use the powers for good.
@@spoon7053Eren and the Survey Corps all died for nothing, Paradis got destroyed by the outside world for bloody revenge after the rumbling failed.
@@UmQasaannyou understood nothing.
@@UmQasaannEren wanted his friends to live a long & peaceful life...to be happy, and he did achieve that.
@@UmQasaannThe song title implies it to be 2,000-20,000 years in the future; anything could have happened. The vehicles and missiles could have been from Marley, the Mid East, Hizuru, or even from other Eldians in a rebellion or civil war. It's so far in the future that those nations and ethnicities may not even exist by that time. The war could have been over anything and between anyone.
The point isn't "tHe jAeGeRiStS wErE riGhT", the point is that, while Eren's actions allowed his friends to live out the rest of their lives in peace, human conflict is inevitable no matter what we do in our short lives here.
Even if Eren had killed 100% of everyone outside the walls leaving only the Eldians, the Eldians themselves eventually would've started killing each other, just as they did in the Great Titan War and throughout the show. Maybe if that were the ending, all the Jaegerists in these comments would finally get it.
I will never forget these anime for atleast 10 years or even after that
I wonder if the decedents of Eren’s friends either flee during the destruction of Paradis since the cycle of violence is repeating itself.
Most likely got genocided by outside forces.
@@UmQasaann Let's hope not. Cuz that will make everything Eren did for his friends be in vain.

Thats why a full scale rumbling was necessary
But the ending was perfect! You didnt understand the story

Necessary for what reason actually? Like full wiped out rumbling 100% guarantee that conflict or war will never occur ever again?
@@presixnine Yes,people from marley while the rumbling was close to them decide to fight the innocent eldian who wanted to help them even after the general said he will never do the same mistake again and not 30 second later he broke that promise same after they was saved by armin and the scout he threaten to kill their savior,,saving them was amistake people like that will never learn and so dont deserve any pity or saving from a total annihilation
Something I really hated about the manga ending was how the end of Paradis was immediately shown right after Mikasa’s death, leaving the implication that everything the cast did still lead to the island being bombed just mere decades after the Rumbling. But here, we see it destroyed after it evolved to a state similar looking to Coruscant from Star Wars, having to be hundreds to even THOUSANDS of years later. It leads me to believe whatever led to that society’s destruction likely had nothing to do with the world even remotely remembering the events of the series.
Manga had the more realistic ending, tbh. Mikasa was probably 80 years old when she died and Paradis being destroyed not long after her death isn't too big a stretch.
That the peace lasted for 80 some years is a miracle considering the horrors of the Rumbling and the fallout that came from it.
2:04 Gotta love how the cityscape of Paradis looked like it was already in ruins. I guess somebody decided they might as well bomb it to shit just for good measure.
2:04 In the manga B2 spirit bomber did that
Hatred
Of course, the rest of the world would never forget the horror that the Eldians brought upon them, they literally waited for hundreds of years just to destroy Paradis once and for all
The rest of the world will eventually go back and declare war against each other like they usually do after if they destroyed Paradise and Paradise will declare war against each other too after if they destroy the world.. humans sucks Lol
Based
Pretty much Eren murdered billions of people and once the rumbling was sabotaged they're destroy Paradis giving the chance.
I am really happy they brought back Linked horizon for a final song.
I remember being really disappointed at first with the new openings so this here is cool
Hajime Isayama is the Todd Howard of mangakas, hope that hack never makes another shitty manga ever again.
I remember when AOT was just a show that everyone skipped but I’m glad I paid attention to the story. 2013/2023. Here’s to more great stories if we shall see any like it again.
"When Titans were the greatest threat, Titans were the enemy. When countries were the greatest threat, countries were the enemy. For as long as people hold firm to different beliefs, there will always be an enemy."
- Season 4 episode 27
"All of this has happened before."
"But the question remains: Does all of this have to happen again?"
at the end everything becomes myth and legend, stories passed down from generation to generation, until its forgotten.
And for the new generation to discover its secrets and its history and make a new story and conflicts against each other and make a goal a dream to achieve and they might live achieving that dream or die trying or let others do it after your death and see the results of all of that, it’s like the cycle of life.. oh god this is so depressing
The Yeagerist were right,if Eren wasn't given that terrible ending and finished the rumbling Paradis would be still standing.
Eren did mentioned that even if he did not stop the Rumbling, around 20% of the world population will survive so he did what he think is the best outcome to make Armin and his friend “hero” like Tybur family
You are completely missing the point, even if only paradisians survived there would still be conflicts abämong them, beside this conflict has nothing to do with eldians or Marleyans, it takes place centuries after the ending
No they wouldn't. Even after thousands of years, there still would be conflict among themselves. And this new war has nothing to do with the rumbling.
"Humans will only stop fighting on the day when only one human is left" - Erwin
Doesn't matter if he wipes 100% of Marley, or 0%, it would've ended up in war anyway.
Doesn’t matter.
@@justsomeguy6336Well done that's the point of the ending
Now this hits harder stuck in my brain this is anime history
The most touching part of this is that in the end the Titans have nothing to do with it.
War happens and the cycle repeats, but merely because of human being humans.
It was never the Titans that caused conflict. Unfortunately it’s in human nature. As Erwin says “Peace between man will never be, not until our numbers drop to 1 or less”
It was just sad to see
Let the Eldians turn what would've been an barely remembered conflict into something that lasted 2000 years
@@twiddlerat9920 Kinda forgot they would have genocided the eldians if eren didn't genocide them first. This isn't an eldian problem but one with human nature. Marley didn't even care about eldians but just wanted to keep the military edge they had against other countries.
The cycle of life repeats itself endlessly marching onwards from death to rebirth of a civilization, and we would never know it.
Think of: Atlantis, Mu, Lemuria, Shangri-La, Avalon -- what if these were real? It was just lost to the vastness of time. Even the Romans will be forgotten and people will only hear distant legends of them distorted through time.
So many morals and ethics being questioned. Is life meaningless, what is freedom, what are we fighting for? Had me really thinking. THANK YOU Isayama. *bows down*
Sit down
@@chinavirus841but he is right, people thousands of years later probably think that titans are just fictional and folklore.

Bro I speak German and his words are actually important! His last words are “history repeats it self!”
This would've never happened if Eren successfully Rumbled the entire Earth. Floch was right. The Cringevingers fought hard for this future.
Ok weeb
*This would happen, but later. The people of Paradis would conquer the Earth and start destroying themselves again.*
Floch was only right when he said, "If Eren is defeated, Paradis will be destroyed". That also doesn't specify about Eldians and how they went everywhere.
And the cycle continues, thanks a lot. Guys, for stopping the one guy that could have saved everyone on the island.
The cycle ended after the nuclear war tho :)
Nah paradise started war first by shooting other country delegations plane
No? This was a nuclear conflict the entire world is set back to the stone age
