Attack on Titan Season 4 final episode plot: What will happen in Episode 2?
The official synopsis for the whole of Season 4 Part 3, as presented in a Japanese TV Guide, is as thus: “Eren activates The Rumbling in an attempt to destroy the world. Countless Titans begin their march, trampling down everything in their path. Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Connie, Hange, Reiner, Annie, Pieck, and the mortally wounded Levi.. the remaining ones challenge the final battle to stop Eren.”
As for the show’s overarching plot, Attack on Titan “is set in a world where humanity is forced to live in cities surrounded by three enormous walls that protect them from gigantic man-eating humanoids referred to as Titans; the story follows Eren Yeager, who vows to exterminate the Titans after they bring about the destruction of his hometown and the death of his mother.”
The final season has become a very different story from what it first was, as Eren has now seemingly become the villain of the story. After discovering that he has titan powers, and learning about the history and origin of the giant beasts, he has now vowed destruction against any humans who oppose him.
Now, the people of Paradis and Marley must put their differences aside in order to survive the Rumbling, which was set in motion by Eren in Season 4 Part 2.
Fans can expect many twists in this final episode, and saying that the finale will be incredibly emotional is putting things very lightly.
