As the countdown for Attack on Titan final episode begins, the crew confirms an anime-only scene. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

The wait is almost over as Attack on Titan anime is heading towards its grand ending. The manga debuted in 2009 and generated worldwide controversy, with its tragic ending in 2021. Many fans were disappointed with how everything played out in the end.

However, there were also many who supported the mangaka and felt the tragic ending was justified. The series follows Eren Yeager’s dream of annihilating all Titans but suddenly reveals an insane plot twist in Season 4.

As the ending felt rushed, mangaka Hajime Isayama was anxious about the fate of the series and even apologized for the ending. However, that doesn’t change the fact that the story itself is spectacular. And after over a decade, the series is finally about to deliver its final episode. As the release date draws near, the creator, director, and VA are teasing an anime-only scene for the final episode of Attack on Titan.

Attack on Titan final episode might have an anime-only scene

The official website of Attack on Titan anime posts comments from the mangaka, director, and song artists. Hajime Isayama apologizes to MAPPA as they had to adapt a rough draft on short notice. The creator says, “This time, by my request, I got to draw a little bit of the rough draft toward the end. Please watch until the end.”

Director Yuichiro Hayashi also shares, “A new script from Isayama-sensei, the actors’ soul-filled performances, the absolute perfect pieces of music. Please experience all of this!”

Additionally, Armin’s Voice Actor, Marina Inoue, teases the same in an interview. The interview is in Japanese, so as per Comic Book, the translation says, “We’re eagerly anticipating the conclusion, and we’ve put our hearts and souls into this.

“There’s a special anime-original scene that holds significant meaning. It’s a pivotal moment for Armin and Eren, and I wonder about the thoughts and feelings they hold. It became an essential scene in what I’ve portrayed.”

She also talks about her favorite scene, “One significant scene for me was in the “Rite of Passage” in Season 3, where Armin entrusts his dream to Eren. Entrusting his dream to Eren felt like the most sparkling moment for Armin in these ten years of Attack on Titan. It was incredibly precious.”

All these hints are more than enough to confirm that there’s going to be an anime-only scene in the Attack on Titan final episode. The anime will premiere on November 4 on the NHK General channel at 12:00 am JST. After the broadcast, the final episode will also be available to stream on Crunchyroll and Hulu globally.
