amount of story to make sense of here, so join us as we tower over the competition with the only explanation you\u2019ll ever need.<\/span><\/p>\nAttack on Titan ending explained: Is Eren dead?<\/b><\/h2>\n Attack on Titan season 4 part 3 special 2<\/span> doesn\u2019t ease fans in with a moment of peace, and why would it? The war to end all wars is already in full swing by this point, so things kick off with the last of humanity doing everything they can to stop the Rumbling. That\u2019s essentially where an army of gigantic Titans stomp their way across the entire planet and murder every living thing under Eren\u2019s command.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nYep, Eren. That sweet boy who watched his mother get eaten by a Titan all the way back in the very first episode is now a Titan himself. And he\u2019s become the Founding One, no less.<\/span><\/p>\nTo stop all the endless wars that have plagued humanity, and the Eldians in particular, Eren plans to bring about the apocalypse. His buddies aren\u2019t too keen on that idea though, so the battle rages on as Armin, Mikasa and the others decide to finally stop Eren, once and for all.<\/span><\/p>\n Crunchyroll<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n In the heat of battle, Levi makes good on his promise to Commander Erwin and kills the Beast Titan AKA Eren\u2019s brother Zeke, who leaves his body vulnerable out in the open after a chat with Armin. But before this, Armin\u2019s words convinced Zeke to enlist the help of his predecessors to support the battle against Eren, and this helps turn the tide long enough for Jean and the Cart Titan to blow Eren\u2019s Titan head off using explosives.<\/span><\/p>\nIn doing so, Eren\u2019s connection with Ymir is severed, so the Rumbling suddenly stops, halting all the Titans in their tracks. That\u2019s good news for the few humans who are still left alive, and particularly good news for that one baby who\u2019s carried by the crowd like a hot potato as they teetered over the edge of a cliff.<\/span><\/p>\nThe glowing parasite that\u2019s responsible for the power of the Titans, yes, really, fights to be reunited with Eren following the explosion, but everyone comes together to stop it while Armin fends off Eren himself in his Colossal Titan form. In this moment of weakness, Mikasa realises that Eren\u2019s body isn\u2019t hidden away in the nape of the Attack Titan, like usual. Instead, he\u2019s positioned inside the Titan\u2019s mouth.<\/span><\/p>\nWith this knowledge, Mikasa is forced to do what she\u2019s fought so hard to avoid: kill Eren. Smashing through the Titan\u2019s front teeth, Mikasa decapitates the man she\u2019s loved all her life, but before his head is severed, the pair exchange a look of love, knowing that it would all come down to this moment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> Mikasa kisses Eren on the lips then, which is kind of gross given that she just cut off his head, but Ymir seems impressed, choosing then to no longer power the Titans because she\u2019s so moved by Mikasa\u2019s decision to kill Eren for the greater good. Ymir didn\u2019t have the strength to fight her own love for King Fritz which he never reciprocated either.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWatching Mikasa kill the hero slash villain of the piece is still all kinds of devastating though, especially as she and Eren have always been positioned as an endgame couple for the show. \u201cTragic\u201d doesn\u2019t even begin to cover what Mikasa was forced to do.<\/span><\/p>\nAfter the battle, it\u2019s revealed that Eren actually contacted his friends within the Paths mindscape before the fight was over. He wanted to explain to them why he set the Rumbling in motion, but he made it so that their memories of these conversations wouldn\u2019t be recalled until after he had been defeated.<\/span><\/p>\n Crunchyroll<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n It turns out that when Eren gained all his new power, he also developed the ability to see into the future. Time no longer flowed in a linear fashion for him, so he came to realise that he had to become the villain in order to save Paradis and make the world see his friends as heroes. In doing so, it would redeem the Eldians of their sins in the eyes of those who survived, thus ending the bitter conflict between races that had come to define their lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nEren also reveals that he really did love Mikasa all along, finally confessing his true feelings after all this time, but Armin isn\u2019t having any of it and so he punches his bestie in the face. Or at least, the dream-version of Eren who visited Armin before he died.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nMikasa gets to spend some time with Eren too in a cute lush cabin, yet Eren\u2019s still gone now, slaughtered by her own hand.<\/span><\/p>\nBack in the present, the Titans all transform back into humans for good, but the surviving humans are still worried, so they threaten the gang with guns and demand they prove that they\u2019re no longer a threat. An ungrateful lot, to say the least. Smooth talking Armin convinces them all to calm down though and a ceasefire ensues.<\/span><\/p> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
