Here's everything we know so far about Attack on Titan season 4 faced more chapters to adapt than all 3 previous runs, and with the anime mirroring the pacing of the manga, 16 episodes didn't seem anywhere near enough.
Attack on Titan season 4's "Above & Below" ends on a huge cliffhanger. Retaliating after the attack on Liberio, Marley begins its counter with Pieck tricking Eren onto a rooftop and Porco (concealed among Eren's soldiers) smashing upward through the floor below. Reiner and the Marley warriors arrive shortly after in airships, while the Survey Corps remain locked helplessly in a cell far below. Elsewhere, Floch is still following Hange to Zeke's location, not knowing the Beast Titan was caught in a fiery blast alongside Levi, and is now occupying the cozy insides of a Titan's stomach.
The cliffhanger ending to Attack on Titan season 4 reassured fans more episodes would be forthcoming and, sure enough, an "part 2" was announced alongside the mid-season finale. But when will the final chapter of Attack on Titan's anime air? What could happen in the remaining episodes? And what might the future hold?
Attack On Titan Season 4, Part 2 Release Date
The teaser trailer for Attack on Titan season 4, part 2 revealed the next episode ("Judgement") would be coming in Winter 2022. While the announcement might've panicked western viewers into thinking Attack on Titan wouldn't resume until the end of 2022, the Japanese winter TV season traditionally runs from January to March. Accordingly, Attack on Titan season 4 will continue on January 9, 2022. Part 2 will air on Hulu and Crunchyroll, and though the number of episodes remains unconfirmed at present, expect a similar number to Attack on Titan season 4 Part 1's 16 installments.
Attack On Titan Season 4, Part 2 Story Details
Attack on Titan manga readers will know exactly what to expect from the final batch of episodes. Without giving away spoilers, the mid-season finale sets up a rematch between Eren and Reiner, as the forces from Marley clash with Eren's faction in Shiganshina. Attack on Titan still needs to reveal Levi's fate, and explain what on Earth's happening with Zeke in the stomach of a Titan. It's inevitable that Eren will eventually unlock the full power of the Founding Titan, with or without his brother, and only then will his true intentions be revealed. Is Eren Yaeger really an irredeemable villain, or does he hide an ulterior motive?
The Attack on Titan anime still hasn't explained how the Titan power originated, and the Survey Corps can't be locked up forever either. Expect Mikasa, Jean, Armin and the others to go out in style, while Historia's child could also spring a late surprise. Ultimately, Attack on Titan season 4, part 2 must reveal the future of the world when the war between Eldia and Marley is done. Will there be peace? Will one side emerge victorious? Or will nothing be left standing at all?
Is Attack On Titan Season 4 The End?
While Attack on Titan season 4, Part 2 will complete Hajime Isayama's original story fronted by Attack on Titan sequel series following a new generation of young heroes, but the anime's long-awaited ending could herald fresh updates.
