The end of the show is shaping up to be epic – and we’ve got all the details down below for the show’s long-awaited conclusion.

Attack on Titan season 4 trailer
Following the conclusion of part one, a very short but sweet teaser for the next episode was released – and the emotional piano music suggests that it’s going to be a sad one.
Who is the main character in Attack on Titan?
Attack on Titan is a curious one – the main character and protagonist of the series is undoubtedly Eren Jeager, a teenager who swears revenge on the Titans after they destroy his hometown and kill his mother. He then joins the Military with childhood friends Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert, with the three fighting and studying Titans as part of the Survey Corps.

However, despite his heroic origins Eren undergoes an almost reverse character arc, performing more and more violent acts until he becomes more of an anti-hero. By the end of season four part one he has announced his intention to destroy all nations outside of Paradis, and become the final series antagonist.
With half a season left, only time will tell if Eren can be redeemed…
Attack on Titan episode 73 delay
While part one of season four has now finished airing, there was a noticeable delay. Episode 14 of season four – the show’s 73 episode overall – was interrupted in Japan on 14th March due to breaking news coverage of a magnitude 4.9 earthquake in the Wakayama prefecture.
As the episode had not finished airing in Japan, episode 73 was delayed for international audiences also. The delayed episode was then aired in a double bill with episode 74 on 21st March 2021 for audiences worldwide.
Attack on Titan will air in Winter 2022 on Crunchyroll and Funimation. Check out the rest of our Sci-fi and Fantasy coverage or visit our TV Guide to see what’s on tonight.
