Seeing Levi crying was a kick on the heart... The only person who lost everyone he cares and the only survivors to his comrades... You suffered enough, Heichou
Levi crying after saying none of his comrades died in vain & then Connie crying after seeing Sasha and being gently held by Jean, both melt and break my ❤
@@matsonlouco2883 I liked Reiner finally getting an apology from his mother, but I agree, it would've been great to see Marco one last time, especially for Jean and Reiner. At least he plays a significant role in the last arc, his death, as well as Sasha's, served the plot and the characters beautifully
@@doggerlander Every person does whatever they can with their own lives. After you die, you just can't take responsibility anymore. I wouldn't feel my life was a waste just because in a hundred years later there's a different situation with different people
If you think of it, there's so many Survey Corps lives has been sacrificed in Levi's name, because they trust him to carry on their mission and Levi never failed them and he finally completed their mission
It's so rough. Imagine if Mikasa lost everyone and she was the last of her generation standing among green recruits. Hange to Levi was basically Armin to Mikasa.
Not gonna lie. The only thing that really made me cry in this episode was seeing Levi cry. He has held it in for so long. He was numb. Showing him crying was just… I don’t know. I can’t explain it. But it was beautiful
The part where Armin acknowledged that hes doomed to hell for the evil he took part of and desperately lept to hug Eren for comfort as he both accepted he truly deserved that punishment but also was scared and sad to know that hell is where he would have to spend eternity in... that part made me leak a pretty solid tear. It hits differently when you're a theist AND a recovered addict who has already spent years on earth's version of hell. I truly wouldn't wish that magnitude of suffering on even the most evil of people. If solely due to knowing exactly what that kind of darkness does to your soul. And the magnitude of hopelessness, never-ending agony, and despair that literally consumes you to the point of eventually starting to accept that suffering has effectively become the only thing to expect, every morning you wake up and are conscious again. Idk. It also gave me a flashback to the scene where Berthold and Reiner are trying to escape with Eren, and Mikasa inadvertently provokes Berthold into finally replying in absolute tears when she claimed it was THEIR choice to commit all these heinous mass murders. "No, you're wrong! Who chooses to be this way? TELL ME!!!! What do you think I am, huh!? What? You think this is what we aspire to be?!! People loathe us. And why wouldn't they? We're monsters. We deserve to die for the things we've done... We're lost...We could live a thousand years and never again know peace...Try to imagine that darkness! The only light was our brief time as soldiers! It was never an act! Do you understand? We're not who we said we were, but it wasn't an act! We genuinely thought of you as our friends! I'm not stupid... I know I have no right to ask forgiveness... But PLEASE...I beg of you... If we were comrades...someone find us!" That quote was permanently ingrained into my head when i first heard him. Because when he said "Try to imagine that darkness", i immediately thought about how absolutely lost and stuck in a seemingly impossible situation, unable to stop popping pills and snorting lines of smack, which i no longer even enjoyed and wanted to stop altogether because it stopped being fun so long ago and had taken over my entire life so completely that every day was centered around making enough money to stave off the withdrawals for as long as time allowed. I absolutely loathed being that way, but was absolutely powerless to stop and was also pushing people away through my actions, even though i desperately needed help, deep down knew i wanted it, but also felt i didnt deserve to be helped. THAT was truly hell. And THAT was what I remembered every detail of, when Berthold, eyes welled up with tears, said "Try to imagine that darkness!" I literally did as he asked. And the idea of Berthold suffering even MORE than I did, and the way he described "being lost"... it just prompted my own eyes to start welling up and my throat began to knot up. I like to think of myself as a pretty strong pragmatist and exceptionally stoic person. I even score "high risk" in the narcissism assessment test, "moderate risk" in Psychopathy, and "high risk", in Machiavelianism But it seems I actually do have a capacity for empathy. I guess it only comes out when i view someone who might actually truly know the level of suffering a person has to go through to even become so emotionally calloused as I low key wish i didn't have to be.
Me too, I rarely see him cry. He's been holding it for too long, and now he can finally let it all out. Just seeing Levi being the only veteran survivor hurts so much. He really deserves his retirement, that man should rest and relax.
"There is no shame in crying Crying just show someone was too strong for too long" This phrase is from a book that I love and represents Levi so well in this scene
It's the point where I broke down too. I was tearing up earlier, especially with the Eren and Armin scene but this broke me.. Levi did so much and held so much in....finally breaking down and crying after losing his whole squad in the first season, Hanges squad that he knew well in the third season, the majority of the Survey Corps in the latter part of that season and....after losing Sasha and especially Hange in season 4 he locked himself off the most, almost moreso than losing Farlan and Isebel a decade ago and locking himself away.....It hit hard seeing him finally break down, but like you said, it was beautiful. He kept living for all of them and never forgot them, and even for the first time did the salute. They gave their hearts to wipe the world from Titans and in the end, in a very odd circumstance, it happened. Levi was the only of them to experience a world without Titans and that is a beautiful thing.
What I really liked about Levi's farewell is how the Wings Of Freedom fade away at 0:30. Like the Survey Corps are over with the Humanity's Strongest Soldier doing the last stand. Full of symbolism.
I feel like Jean should have seen Marco. Marco was the catalyst for Jean’s redemption and turning him from a narcissistic asshole into the best character in attack on Titan.
Missed opportunity, but the ending caused waterworks from the global audience bigger than the Japanese tsunami of 2011... RIP to everyone who didn't make it in AoT, and in the tsunami, by the way.
Levi lost all his comrades. Despite him being the strongest of humanity, he is also one of the saddest. Rest In Peace all the brave soldiers who died on historical battlefields. Lest we forget. 🕯
Now he can grow old and die alone watching his country become more influenced from Erens ideologies as he becomes older and weaker. Pathetic ending for a character like him.
They made this scene so perfect... Seeing Levi actually crying as he finally accepts the deaths of his comrades with this emotional OST was heartbreaking.❤
Captain freaking Levi. Can we all just appreciate the role this man played from beginning to end? He grew up in a slum filled underground, stealing and trying to survive. Lost his mother at an early age, but was eventually acknowledged and mentored by both his long lost uncle and his soon to be commander. He was given a chance to make a difference in the world, take on titans and fight for humanity. From that point forward, he has lost friend after friend after friend but still kept his cool due to his position and what was at stake. He had been hurting inside for so long but he still kept fighting. He still kept moving forward. And even when all was said and done, even when he had to help take the life of a young man who he probably saw himself in, he had finally reached a point where he could rest and be content with the fact that he gave his heart for humanity. This story was just as much as about Levi as it was about the Shinganshina trio. Long live the strongest soldier.
But they shouldn't have nerfed him Imagine Levi in this episode fighting with his best ability Would have been the greatest episode after beast tirna fight.
@@beastmode9988 It's a wrestling move where you pick someone up, preferably from behind, and slam them on the ground behind yourself while bending backwards. It's actual name is called the German Suplex. :)
I actually like this part. Levi, the only surviving member of the scouts saw the ghosts of all his slain comrades, friends and even loved ones. Despite the fact the he is crippled after so many battles, Levi gave out one final salute to his comrades, telling them that their work is done and they can finally rest now.
I agree, and I like to think they were saluting him back as a way of telling him that his work is done and he can rest as well. 😭I think Levi cries out of a mixture of happiness they won, relief that it's over, and grief for his fallen comrades. Only thing that disappoints me about this scene is Isabel and Furlan aren't there saluting and saying goodbye too.
@@returnoftheblackkings7848 Reiner destroyed the walls but he didn't destroy the scouts. It was zeke, floch and yelena through poisoning them. A true villain doesn't do a complete character turn like he did.
@@returnoftheblackkings7848Bruh he did it all because he wanted to see her mother actually live a better and a respectful life than what she was living.He didn't do it out of pure enjoyment.There were times he suffered knowing that he was friends with those people whose loved ones were killed by him.He suffered knowing that he can't change what he did to them.Even after he escaped the island,he suffered from his memories of Paradis islands which literally destroyed his whole mental health.He literally lost his friends on that island(2 of them being dead and 1 being M.I.A.).Even when he met Eren,he was literally begging Eren to either forgive him or kill him.I don't think your average villain would live in that manner as he lived.
Levi managed to carry the hopes and dreams of every dead scout with him into a world free of titans, just like they all dreamed. This is one of the most satisfying conclusions to a character I have seen, truly amazing writing.
@t-ro6176 That's still a better alternative than genocide. Remember, the survey corps' goal wasn't to defend Paradis Island from the rest of the world, but to defend all of humanity from the titans. That's what all those soldiers gave their lives for in seasons 1-3.
@@baconian_road_construction na it’s definitely meant to protect threats against paradise. Those scouts who died in season 1-3 was to protect their families and friends from titans, they didn’t even know that humanity survived beyond the walls. Let me ask you a question since the were meant to protect ( all) of humanity. What was happened to paradise and the paradise side of the alliance if eren died by gabi’s shot.
@@t-ro6176 I'm Agreeing with you bro and the Answer to your question is simple it's that the Paradise Eldian side of the Alliance and the whole Paradise island would not make it alive to the end of the series
@@t-ro6176 Yeah and Even as a real survey corps military commander and courageous man that he is Erwin told Levi himself at the last episode of season 3 part 1 that he don't care if Levi breaks Erwin's two legs or if that supposedly "humanity" victory was achieved because the only real important goal and dream for Erwin is learning the real truth about the world around them and outside the walls and that if there is someother humans living at the other side of the walls the truth which is hidden as a secret for years back at the yeager basement at that time and which sadly Erwin didn't make it to witness and see it for himself so yes you are right bro and i agree with you on this
Why aren’t enough people talking about Reiner. He got what he wanted too 😭. His mom is so happy that he’s alive and able to stay with her. God this entire ending pulls at my heart every time
But Reiner doesn't need her anymore, he's a grown man who can take care of himself. He loves her of course since she is his mother and would probably take care of her if she wants to be with him since the curse is broken and he wont have to leave her.
THIS SCENE IS SO BEAUTIFUL, not only that but the music choice was a great one, I kinda knew they’d use this song for a special moment later on, this show will always be my number 1, I hate that it ended 😭 ❤
The most stone cold warrior of the series shedding a tear knowing his friends didn’t sacrifice their lives for nothing. The Scout Regiment really did represent a true band of brothers. AOT thank you for the adventure and we will miss you. Sacrifice your hearts! Shinzou wo Sasageyo!
@@gamingbro9329You do realize that wars dont just end when there is still people, right? And i would say their lives werent wasted because they got rid of the titan problem and made it so that there was peace for like 20 000 years. So no, not wasted lives. Realistic.
@@gamingbro9329 I mean, it was never about ending war forever, that's just a naive viewpoint. Earning hundreds of years of peace and freedom for generations to come is definitely something. You're kinda misunderstanding the story if you think it was gonna end with some happy wholesome "Oh, everything's great and nothing bad will happen ever again!" Kinda ending. It's about appreciating the moments of joy and happiness along the way that makes life worth it.
@@gamingbro9329 You genuinely haven't understand this story underlying message if you think that Paradis getting into a war a hundred years in the future means that it was all for nothing. You're talking about Erwin charge, did you even listen to his speech? He literally says people are all doomed to die, but it doesn't mean that their fight is meaningless. Paradis got to live at the very least a hundred year of peace if those buildings are anything to go by (and I'm being very pessimistic on purpose, the last buildings looked much more high tech), there hasn't even been a nation on Earth who even enjoyed being at complete peace for that long so what the hell are you talking about?
@@t-ro6176 Yeah you are absolutely sadly right Levi at the end did forgot about the still saddened and mourning families of his own dead soldiers of the first squad and his dead comrades
This scene killed me, seeing Levi cry absolutely broke my heart, this was such a good show and it's painful to see it end. But don't be sad that the show ended, be happy that it happened.
John 11:25-26 [25]Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: [26]And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Hange's expression on farewell literally broke me. She is so sad to leave Levi behind. Why didn't anyone notice Hange's sadness when Levi cried and gave them last salute😭😭 Isayama u should've just kept them both together. Now Levi is left all alone💔
@smilewithme9850 Connie's mom is alive. When eren and the founder powers died, everyone that was titan became human again and titans disappeared from the world all together.
Fuck same. That one streaming teardrop, didnt even show his eyes, didnt need to. I swear they need to play these final 2 episodes in theaters. The dub, when then finally get it done.
@@Minimedic987 Yeah even to the point of letting the one who killed her Annie (who said that she didn't regret killing them all) live a happy live over the dead turned apart corpse and soul of Petra
@@joesniper0582I felt like with Moblit constantly being with Hange, that he and Levi probably interacted a lot and that it just wasn't shown on screen.
If you think of it, a lot of Survey Corps died on Levi's name because they trust him to finish their mission, that's why Levi is carrying the heaviest burden in his back
I really felt it when he saw hanji there as well. She was probably the least one he expected to die? She was his last comrade with whom he started his journey with so he cherished her after losing everyone...the only two times he cried was when losing Furlan and Esabelle, his best friend and his 'sister' and the other time being now...when he lost everyone with whom he started off and spent half of his life with after furlan and esabelle. It honestly hit too hard. AND BRO THE WAY CONNIE CRIED-
My favourite part of the ending. I was begging for him to cry, he really needed to release it all. When he did I got all happy and emotional... ...Then Connie and Jean sees Sasha..
Levi and Mikasa suffered the most because as Ackerman’s they understood that they were the only ones who could realistically expect to survive. Mikasa tried to accept death twice, but Eren denied her both times!
This scene was so awesome! The survey corps basically just did it. They accomplished what it seems to be an impossible task. After all the mysteries, after all the deaths of comrades, after all the suffering. They finally accomplished the mission. Definitely the best troupe in anime history.
@@bunchberry9957Blah blah blah, setting yourself for failiure. Maybe dont inject yourself with stupidely wild expectations concocted from the minds of other people and maybe you would have enjoyed this better.
@@bunchberry9957 i actually kind of agree...MAPPA is well known for it's hype scenes. And it's really good doing action sequences. But when it comes to emotional and heart wrenching scenes, WIT wins by a mile. There's just something about the way they use lighting/animation and music that it quickly becomes a tear jerker... i'm 100% sure if WIT did this scene, it'll be complete siltent until levi sees his comrades and start off with soft piano and continue with one of very much loved songs in the fandom to send the series off.
Acc I just realized this too but that isn’t Acc the song the song playing is called “the dogs” I don’t think it’s ever been played before with lyrics but its an underrated song for sure didn’t get enough appreciation
Loved every moment of it. The Happiness The Sadness The Fun The Joy The Thrill The Excitement The Sorrow The Fear The Laughs The Tears and The Hope. Everything. Thank You Hajime Isayama, WIT, MAPAA , Voice Actors , Directors, Cinematographers and the numerous people who worked on AOT. Thank you for this Masterpiece that I will cherish.
@@peoplebelievealiensarereal and I said *"Along side Sasha"* I never said anything about Levi's team that's no different to *"Marco, Mina, Thomas, Milieus, Nack, Franz, Hanna, Samuel, Daz, Marlo, Sandra, Gordon*
@@Lover-of-Creative-Priorities some were just aquitances to eren unlike the others that were friends or good comrades to levi ,sandra and gordon eren dint even interected with them,although hannah and franz appear when hange die
I love how this scene flows, how you can see Connie breaking down and Jean comforting him about Sasha behind Gabi and then you can see Gabi supplexing Falco behind Reiner
Thank you AOT. Incredible story, from episode 1 season 1 till the end. Years of greatest that I'm glad I can say I WATCHED! One of my favs of all time!
I've never been emotional over sad scenes in movies/tv shows, AOT is no exception that is until this scene shows up where I finally shed a tear and the tear just kept falling. Levi has been through so much and it's good he finally fulfilled his promise and can finally retire and rest. Oh, I forgot about the crackhead trio reunion ( I missed Sasha so much) I didn't cry over her death unfortunately because I know she'll die, yet after seeing that scene of jean and connie seeing her even though I read that scene from the manga, I freaking bawlled like a fountain. I think for me their bittersweet reunion is more painful than sasha's death ( don't come at me pls).
Can't stop watching this scene😢 It hits so hard. Seeing the scout regiment saying goodbye to Levi and him crying. And the song is the icing on the cake
i bawled during this scene. when i saw erwin, hange, and all his comrades, i was on the edge of holding back my tears. then seeing levi salute and finally cry made me bawl so hard. its finally over 😢
It’s really subtle and poignant that the Survey Corps through their shared experiences and camaraderie have formed their exclusive landscape woven from the Paths. The name given to said landscape is not utopia. But if their world had a shape it would look like the Wings of Freedom.
To me personally, this part get me the most. Like Levi said this is the end where they TRUELY give their heart to without the know the truth. Only fight for the humanity till the very end
Pas bagian ini gua nangis sih. Gua mikir kayak, "Anjir...ini Perjalanan yang panjang banget. Melalui pengorbanan yang tak terhitung jumlahnya, akhirnya menyisakan Levi seorang di angkatannya. Bukannya menyerah dan menerima takdir, justru dia tegas menjalankan perintah terakhir komandannya hingga selesai walau harus dengan kondisi babak belur habis-habisan." Dan bagian para comrades yang gugur ngasi hormat ke Levi itu.. man...Mereka kayak berterimakasih udah ngelanjutin perjuangan mereka sampai akhir, dan tidak membuat pengorbanan mereka sia-sia. Asli, sad banget 😢
NOOOOO I JUST NOTICED THIS WHEN IT CUTS TO GABI AND HER PARENTS YOU SEE SASHA DISAPPEAR AND CONNY LEANS DOWN TO CRY I GUESS WHILE JEAN BUTS HIS HAND ON CONNIES BACK TO COMFORT HIM😭😭😭😭😭
Hands-off To Levi even after the Going through so much He is still working for the victims of Aftermath of War ; Bro Have Every reason to die , rebuke and Abandon Life but Still chose To find meaning in serving to make the Kids smile!
The Scouts could've visited anyone before they passed on to whatever lies beyond the paths, but instead they came back to give their comrade one last salute for completing their mission😭
You know, this is why I love Levi so much. He has a very rough exterior but he kept fighting because of those who fell for the cause. That's a remarkable character right there.
So long have we waited... But honestly, even if we would have to wait even 10 years more (yeah, an AoT reference), I would be okay with it, cuz I am just happy that I didn't miss, and could live in the same time, the same century, the same decade, as this Masterpiece was in production and was being published - but mainly, I'm happy that I could experience it, quite lively. My greatest appreciation to Hajime Isayama, his editors; the WIT Studio and MAPPA Studio alike; and all the people that were in the production, of the anime, the manga, but also the fanfictions and light-novels; and also, to the community, cuz, what a journey it was!
0:21 You can see it zooms into hanges arm (she’s the only one with a white sleeve) I think it’s them showing how whenever Levi placed his hand over her heart instead of his own when he said dedicate your heart it’s Hange placing her hand over her heart giving her heart to him or whatever (why would it zoom onto hanges arm if it had no hidden meaning?) also in the manga Erwin wasn’t in the center it was Hange in the middle but in this scene they did zoom Levi’s focus to Hange in the middle which is nice..!
I see this as a last parting gift from eren. He made Hange see her comrades prior to her death and made the rest see their dead comrades prior to his own death.

Them falling to the ground is absolutely adorable.
@@tailedgates9what's that
@@beastmode9988 It's a wrestling move where you pick someone up, preferably from behind, and slam them on the ground behind yourself while bending backwards. It's actual name is called the German Suplex. :)
This scene is proof that he is not emotionless. We shed dozens of tears for the one tear you shed, heichou 🥲
Don’t judge a book by its cover.
@@smilewithme9850 no, dont judge the cover, judge the book
@@TomSebastien yeah lol 😂 can u guess why I said that?
I actually like this part. Levi, the only surviving member of the scouts saw the ghosts of all his slain comrades, friends and even loved ones. Despite the fact the he is crippled after so many battles, Levi gave out one final salute to his comrades, telling them that their work is done and they can finally rest now.
I mean most of the others there are also scouts
@@laserbeamlightningYes, but he means the past generation of scouts
He’s celebrating with the people who murdered them lol
I agree, and I like to think they were saluting him back as a way of telling him that his work is done and he can rest as well. 😭I think Levi cries out of a mixture of happiness they won, relief that it's over, and grief for his fallen comrades. Only thing that disappoints me about this scene is Isabel and Furlan aren't there saluting and saying goodbye too.
Reiner having that moment with his mother was heartwarming. After everything thats happened he can finally be at peace.
@@returnoftheblackkings7848 no, he's not, fool. He got the peace he deserved.
@@returnoftheblackkings7848 Reiner destroyed the walls but he didn't destroy the scouts. It was zeke, floch and yelena through poisoning them. A true villain doesn't do a complete character turn like he did.
@@returnoftheblackkings7848Bruh he did it all because he wanted to see her mother actually live a better and a respectful life than what she was living.He didn't do it out of pure enjoyment.There were times he suffered knowing that he was friends with those people whose loved ones were killed by him.He suffered knowing that he can't change what he did to them.Even after he escaped the island,he suffered from his memories of Paradis islands which literally destroyed his whole mental health.He literally lost his friends on that island(2 of them being dead and 1 being M.I.A.).Even when he met Eren,he was literally begging Eren to either forgive him or kill him.I don't think your average villain would live in that manner as he lived.
Did you skip the last 3 years?
@@returnoftheblackkings7848imagine being at the end of aot, and atill holding onto "good guys vs bad guys". Buddy this show is more nuanced than that
Levi managed to carry the hopes and dreams of every dead scout with him into a world free of titans, just like they all dreamed. This is one of the most satisfying conclusions to a character I have seen, truly amazing writing.
Yea he accomplished their dream of riding the world of titans and making sure paradise is vulnerable when the world repopulates and attacks again
@t-ro6176 That's still a better alternative than genocide. Remember, the survey corps' goal wasn't to defend Paradis Island from the rest of the world, but to defend all of humanity from the titans. That's what all those soldiers gave their lives for in seasons 1-3.
@@baconian_road_construction na it’s definitely meant to protect threats against paradise. Those scouts who died in season 1-3 was to protect their families and friends from titans, they didn’t even know that humanity survived beyond the walls. Let me ask you a question since the were meant to protect ( all) of humanity. What was happened to paradise and the paradise side of the alliance if eren died by gabi’s shot.
@@t-ro6176 I'm Agreeing with you bro and the Answer to your question is simple it's that the Paradise Eldian side of the Alliance and the whole Paradise island would not make it alive to the end of the series
@@t-ro6176 Yeah and Even as a real survey corps military commander and courageous man that he is Erwin told Levi himself at the last episode of season 3 part 1 that he don't care if Levi breaks Erwin's two legs or if that supposedly "humanity" victory was achieved because the only real important goal and dream for Erwin is learning the real truth about the world around them and outside the walls and that if there is someother humans living at the other side of the walls the truth which is hidden as a secret for years back at the yeager basement at that time and which sadly Erwin didn't make it to witness and see it for himself so yes you are right bro and i agree with you on this
Why aren’t enough people talking about Reiner. He got what he wanted too 😭. His mom is so happy that he’s alive and able to stay with her. God this entire ending pulls at my heart every time
But Reiner doesn't need her anymore, he's a grown man who can take care of himself. He loves her of course since she is his mother and would probably take care of her if she wants to be with him since the curse is broken and he wont have to leave her.
I love Levi's scene so much ❤
Me too ❤
It’s beautiful also song is a great choice reluctant heroes is Levi’s thems after all
@@ST-qs5vobut the song is "theDogs"
THIS SCENE IS SO BEAUTIFUL, not only that but the music choice was a great one, I kinda knew they’d use this song for a special moment later on, this show will always be my number 1, I hate that it ended 😭 ❤
what song is this?
@@nickman1728 TheDogs
This was the song i have in mind when Armin said he was the one who kill Eren to the marleyans
YO BRO .. I’m also bangtan and an anime fan! Can we be friends!?
OST: The Weight of Lives by Hiroyuki Sawano. ❤️🔥
The most stone cold warrior of the series shedding a tear knowing his friends didn’t sacrifice their lives for nothing. The Scout Regiment really did represent a true band of brothers. AOT thank you for the adventure and we will miss you. Sacrifice your hearts! Shinzou wo Sasageyo!
@@gamingbro9329You do realize that wars dont just end when there is still people, right? And i would say their lives werent wasted because they got rid of the titan problem and made it so that there was peace for like 20 000 years. So no, not wasted lives. Realistic.
Yea but Eden still sacrifice his humanity and life so at least 20% of the world could have very long peace
Most of them died without knowing about the other side of the world 😂 dumbest comment I've seen so far
@@gamingbro9329 I mean, it was never about ending war forever, that's just a naive viewpoint. Earning hundreds of years of peace and freedom for generations to come is definitely something. You're kinda misunderstanding the story if you think it was gonna end with some happy wholesome "Oh, everything's great and nothing bad will happen ever again!" Kinda ending. It's about appreciating the moments of joy and happiness along the way that makes life worth it.
@@gamingbro9329 You genuinely haven't understand this story underlying message if you think that Paradis getting into a war a hundred years in the future means that it was all for nothing. You're talking about Erwin charge, did you even listen to his speech? He literally says people are all doomed to die, but it doesn't mean that their fight is meaningless. Paradis got to live at the very least a hundred year of peace if those buildings are anything to go by (and I'm being very pessimistic on purpose, the last buildings looked much more high tech), there hasn't even been a nation on Earth who even enjoyed being at complete peace for that long so what the hell are you talking about?
Levi is the only one who saw their dream come true. Truly a beautiful scene
He lost everyone and everything but still stayed strong until the end 😭
Levi TT
He doesn’t even care about them cause the outside world is more important
@@t-ro6176 Yeah you are absolutely sadly right Levi at the end did forgot about the still saddened and mourning families of his own dead soldiers of the first squad and his dead comrades
Levi is a true soldier. Despite everything he went through he fought for what's right and delivered.
This scene killed me, seeing Levi cry absolutely broke my heart, this was such a good show and it's painful to see it end. But don't be sad that the show ended, be happy that it happened.
John 11:25-26
[25]Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
[26]And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Hange's expression on farewell literally broke me. She is so sad to leave Levi behind.
Why didn't anyone notice Hange's sadness when Levi cried and gave them last salute😭😭
Isayama u should've just kept them both together.
Now Levi is left all alone💔
All the dead scouts watching Levi look sad but damn Hange's expression is on another level, it is way more emphasized 😞
Although she was ready to die she may have regretted having to leave him behind
Finally, everyone who gave their hearts can rest.
Not everyone is here.. where conny mom and annie
@@smilewithme9850both are alive i think
@@akamesb4540 Huh… yeah…
@smilewithme9850 Connie's mom is alive. When eren and the founder powers died, everyone that was titan became human again and titans disappeared from the world all together.
@@bluemenace04 yes, it would have been great if they added Connie’s mom and Connie in this scene
Thanks U Levi Heichou (Captain) and All of U guys Every Survey Crops Members these 10 years, U Guys can Rest Now 😢
Literally seeing Levi cry was the only thing that made me cry 😭
Fuck same. That one streaming teardrop, didnt even show his eyes, didnt need to. I swear they need to play these final 2 episodes in theaters. The dub, when then finally get it done.
Thank you for everything Humanity's Strongest Soldier
Captain Levi.....
Notice how Hange is the only one that looks sad. She’s sad because she didn’t want to leave Levi.
The scene with levi got me crying My heart can't take it anymore
0:12 Ah yes, the most important people in Levi’s life. Erwin, Hange, Petra, and Moblit.
People can say what the want but Petra definitely held a special place in his heart than just being a part of his squad
did Moblit and Levi ever even interact?
@@Minimedic987 Yeah even to the point of letting the one who killed her Annie (who said that she didn't regret killing them all) live a happy live over the dead turned apart corpse and soul of Petra
@@joesniper0582I felt like with Moblit constantly being with Hange, that he and Levi probably interacted a lot and that it just wasn't shown on screen.
I wish they added Farlan and Isobel.
If you think of it, a lot of Survey Corps died on Levi's name because they trust him to finish their mission, that's why Levi is carrying the heaviest burden in his back
Yea he made sure paradise got destroyed
0:47 Sasha- “I’m okay and I’m so proud of you guys. Be free.”😭
thank you sasha
I really felt it when he saw hanji there as well. She was probably the least one he expected to die? She was his last comrade with whom he started his journey with so he cherished her after losing everyone...the only two times he cried was when losing Furlan and Esabelle, his best friend and his 'sister' and the other time being now...when he lost everyone with whom he started off and spent half of his life with after furlan and esabelle. It honestly hit too hard.
AND BRO THE WAY CONNIE CRIED-
Gabi and Falco absolutely FLYING across the dirt in the background 💖🤣🤣
Why tho I didn’t understand
@@smilewithme9850Flying hug attack. It was super effective.
Levi lost literally all of his friends and those he cared about. Jesus Christ. He had it the hardest.
My favourite part of the ending. I was begging for him to cry, he really needed to release it all. When he did I got all happy and emotional...
...Then Connie and Jean sees Sasha..
We should've gotten a moment between Connie and his mom. Now that she's human again.
Yoooooooooo
I wish Connie dies horribly I hate him. Kills his friends Daz and Samuel for fun.
@@Wrain.are we watching the same shit
@@Wrain.e should have died a long time ago, in s 3 for instance
@@Wrain.when did that happen?
Don't be sad because it's over, be happy it happened❤
Farewell the wings of freedom😢
Levi's ambition has been finally fulfilled
Levi and Mikasa suffered the most because as Ackerman’s they understood that they were the only ones who could realistically expect to survive. Mikasa tried to accept death twice, but Eren denied her both times!
The way Hange was the only one visibly sad
I can’t watch this scene without crying..
This scene was so awesome! The survey corps basically just did it. They accomplished what it seems to be an impossible task. After all the mysteries, after all the deaths of comrades, after all the suffering. They finally accomplished the mission. Definitely the best troupe in anime history.
for sure i will miss them
Thank you for writing this. I thought this as well
"Wait a minute.... You're telling me if we crippled, we're cripple for life and afterlife?" - Erwin Smith
I really wished they used a softer version of Reluctant Hero’s, but I’m really satisfied with this as well! Great ending to an AMAZING tv show
Levi wasn't reluctant in anything he did, this fits much better
@@bunchberry9957Blah blah blah, setting yourself for failiure. Maybe dont inject yourself with stupidely wild expectations concocted from the minds of other people and maybe you would have enjoyed this better.
@CoreyDiMauro Oh shut it. If you've been a fan of AOT as far back as Season 1 then of course you're going to expect a better send off.
@@bunchberry9957 i actually kind of agree...MAPPA is well known for it's hype scenes. And it's really good doing action sequences. But when it comes to emotional and heart wrenching scenes, WIT wins by a mile. There's just something about the way they use lighting/animation and music that it quickly becomes a tear jerker... i'm 100% sure if WIT did this scene, it'll be complete siltent until levi sees his comrades and start off with soft piano and continue with one of very much loved songs in the fandom to send the series off.
Acc I just realized this too but that isn’t Acc the song the song playing is called “the dogs” I don’t think it’s ever been played before with lyrics but its an underrated song for sure didn’t get enough appreciation
Loved every moment of it.
The Happiness The Sadness The Fun The Joy The Thrill The Excitement The Sorrow The Fear The Laughs The Tears and The Hope.
Everything.
Thank You Hajime Isayama, WIT, MAPAA , Voice Actors , Directors, Cinematographers and the numerous people who worked on AOT.
Thank you for this Masterpiece that I will cherish.
When levi teared, it meant a thousand cries
0:41 to 0:49
I wish they also had *Marco, Mina, Thomas, Milieus, Nack, Hanna, Franz, Marlo* along side Sasha as well

Better watch more animes because there are many better out there
Did nobody notice that Keith Sadies is not there? No one remembers him but he contributed so much, he was just a "bystander" in other peoples eyes
Farlan and Isabel as well…
I love how this scene flows, how you can see Connie breaking down and Jean comforting him about Sasha behind Gabi and then you can see Gabi supplexing Falco behind Reiner
This is the most moving scene in the whole show
Thank you AOT. Incredible story, from episode 1 season 1 till the end. Years of greatest that I'm glad I can say I WATCHED! One of my favs of all time!
I actually saluted at the screen for Levi's part. Keep on rocking, Survey corps
Levi and Reiner suffered the most! Grateful that both of them survived in the end.
My heart melted by seeing levi crying and then when i saw sasha i actually started crying
絶対泣かないって決めてたし結末知ってるのに、ライナーのとこで泣いてしまった、、
本当にいいアニメだった
I've never been emotional over sad scenes in movies/tv shows, AOT is no exception that is until this scene shows up where I finally shed a tear and the tear just kept falling. Levi has been through so much and it's good he finally fulfilled his promise and can finally retire and rest. Oh, I forgot about the crackhead trio reunion ( I missed Sasha so much) I didn't cry over her death unfortunately because I know she'll die, yet after seeing that scene of jean and connie seeing her even though I read that scene from the manga, I freaking bawlled like a fountain. I think for me their bittersweet reunion is more painful than sasha's death ( don't come at me pls).
Can't stop watching this scene😢
It hits so hard. Seeing the scout regiment saying goodbye to Levi and him crying. And the song is the icing on the cake
i bawled during this scene. when i saw erwin, hange, and all his comrades, i was on the edge of holding back my tears. then seeing levi salute and finally cry made me bawl so hard. its finally over 😢
Only thing that could’ve made this better is Reiner seeing berthold for the last time
He lives on as the last of the old guard, the ones who dared to go beyond the walls in search of freedom.
This scene was the best in the entire episode.
Levi =🐐
Facts
After a decade and we're now here everyone! Shinzou Sasageyo!!!
This entire scene is like waking from a nightmare that lasted for thousands of years.
It’s really subtle and poignant that the Survey Corps through their shared experiences and camaraderie have formed their exclusive landscape woven from the Paths. The name given to said landscape is not utopia. But if their world had a shape it would look like the Wings of Freedom.
To me personally, this part get me the most. Like Levi said this is the end where they TRUELY give their heart to without the know the truth. Only fight for the humanity till the very end
Pas bagian ini gua nangis sih. Gua mikir kayak, "Anjir...ini Perjalanan yang panjang banget. Melalui pengorbanan yang tak terhitung jumlahnya, akhirnya menyisakan Levi seorang di angkatannya. Bukannya menyerah dan menerima takdir, justru dia tegas menjalankan perintah terakhir komandannya hingga selesai walau harus dengan kondisi babak belur habis-habisan." Dan bagian para comrades yang gugur ngasi hormat ke Levi itu.. man...Mereka kayak berterimakasih udah ngelanjutin perjuangan mereka sampai akhir, dan tidak membuat pengorbanan mereka sia-sia. Asli, sad banget 😢
このシーンはマジで涙無しでは見られないよ
いいね5万くらいつけたいです
I’m sorry but seeing Connie crying as he sees Sasha again and disappears, makes me cry
NOOOOO I JUST NOTICED THIS WHEN IT CUTS TO GABI AND HER PARENTS YOU SEE SASHA DISAPPEAR AND CONNY LEANS DOWN TO CRY I GUESS WHILE JEAN BUTS HIS HAND ON CONNIES BACK TO COMFORT HIM😭😭😭😭😭
Unpopular opinion, but I’ve really wished his underground friends from OVA would’ve showed up, it would’ve broken the internet for real

Yk it’s rlly sad when u see Levi of all people cry
I’m so traumatised now but still love aot 😭😭😭❤️🩹
Levi crying made me cry too, this man has been through alot since the beginning 😭 they couldn't have had a better conclusion than this for him
Nobody mentioning the fact Gabi just full suplexed Falco like he's Andre the Giant vs. Hulk Hogan?
Man lost everything but still found peace. Shinzou wo sagayeo
up till now u forget Levi lost more friends then any1
The Scouts could've visited anyone before they passed on to whatever lies beyond the paths, but instead they came back to give their comrade one last salute for completing their mission😭
Personally, the shot of the Survey Corps letimotif fading away was a big gut punch
levi heichou, one of the greatest anime characters oat.
You know it's serious when Levi is crying.
Levi was the ultimate carry.
You know, this is why I love Levi so much. He has a very rough exterior but he kept fighting because of those who fell for the cause. That's a remarkable character right there.
So long have we waited... But honestly, even if we would have to wait even 10 years more (yeah, an AoT reference), I would be okay with it, cuz I am just happy that I didn't miss, and could live in the same time, the same century, the same decade, as this Masterpiece was in production and was being published - but mainly, I'm happy that I could experience it, quite lively.
My greatest appreciation to Hajime Isayama, his editors; the WIT Studio and MAPPA Studio alike; and all the people that were in the production, of the anime, the manga, but also the fanfictions and light-novels; and also, to the community, cuz, what a journey it was!
For Me The Most Safest Scene Of The Episode Was Levi Crying 😭
Levi lost his friends
His mother
His uncle/father
His brother-in-arms
His son
And his lover, yet pushed through it all
What Son and brother??😅
@@talalh7247Brother: Erwin Son: Eren
What about lover ?

This scene devastated my heart. I can't cope
One of my favorite scenes of all time.
Tbh they should've included Isabel and Farlan but it's still a tearjerking scene.
Finally, it is the Final day for the Survey Corps. Thus, the last of the Flying Eldians have flown their last.
OH MY GOD THIS HURTS ME SO BAD EVERYONE AS SPIRIT AND AND SASHA SMILE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
0:21
You can see it zooms into hanges arm (she’s the only one with a white sleeve) I think it’s them showing how whenever Levi placed his hand over her heart instead of his own when he said dedicate your heart it’s Hange placing her hand over her heart giving her heart to him or whatever (why would it zoom onto hanges arm if it had no hidden meaning?) also in the manga Erwin wasn’t in the center it was Hange in the middle but in this scene they did zoom Levi’s focus to Hange in the middle which is nice..!
True words ❤
I see this as a last parting gift from eren. He made Hange see her comrades prior to her death and made the rest see their dead comrades prior to his own death.
