So much of Attack on Titan’s final season revolves around characters’ attempts to prevent the Rumbling, which tragically comes to pass. The Rumbling awakens an extensive horde of Colossal Titan who methodically comb the land in a manner that wipes out most of the world’s population so that society can begin anew. Initially, a single Titan attack is terrifying, but by the series’ end there’s a colossal culling of humanity through Eren’s Rumbling. There are other villains and obstacles in this world that could better be explored if Eren truly did die in this moment instead of ascending to Founding Titan status.Īttack on Titan slowly subjects the characters and audience to increased levels of cruelty. It’s such a cheat that makes Eren feel invincible and that there’s no stopping his plan. Eren’s head flies feet away from his body, yet the character manages to survive because Zeke still makes contact with Eren’s head. The anime has carefully skirted around the fatalities of characters like Armin and Eren, albeit in justified ways with Titan consequences.Īttack on Titan has already pulled this false death flag trick with Eren so it feels different when Gabi Braun, Marleyan Warrior, rises to the occasion and pulls off a perfect shot that takes off Eren’s head. There are genuine stakes when Attack on Titan’s final season begins and it feels like every character – including Eren – is on the chopping block. Attack on Titan proves right from its first episode that nobody is sacred and heavy casualties punctuate each season. Death must be handled properly in a series like Attack on Titan otherwise it ceases to mean anything and there’s no longer any sense of danger or tension.
