Attack on Titan Season 4 has been a rollercoaster ride for fans, and the latest episode, ‘The Final Chapters (Part One)’ does not disappoint. The episode starts with Eren walking into a port city of the Marleyan continent and observing the people there. He feels conflicted as he knows that he will eventually kill every single person there. However, he saves a young boy from being thrashed by merchants, knowing that he saves the boy’s life in the future he sees using his titan powers.
Fast forward to the present, Eren starts the rumbling and crushes most of the Marleyan continent, leaving the entire world shocked. Meanwhile, Armin and his comrades devise a plan to stop Eren, but before they can put it into action, Eren’s rumbling reaches the port they were at, forcing them into action. One of their comrades makes a huge sacrifice to ensure that the rest of them can escape just in time.
In the meantime, Hange realizes that the situation is desperate, and this is her moment to make a sacrifice. While some of her comrades are busy fixing the holes in the fuel tank, she tells Armin and others not to waste their lives trying to stop the rumbling for a few moments. Hange appoints Armin as the 15th Commander of the Survey Corps before she heads in the direction of the approaching titans. Hange shows exemplary courage and skill by taking down several giant titans one after another. This gives her comrades enough time to fix the plane and fly away. Unfortunately, her clothes catch fire while she is fighting, and slowly her entire body starts burning while she is still in the air using the ODM gear. Hange’s body falls to the ground, and she dies immediately.
Armin and his comrades turn their focus on the strategy they are going to follow once they face Eren. Levi and Pieck try their best to explain the physical structure of the Founding Titan to Armin. The team on the plane despite their best efforts can only guess where Eren probably is inside the Titan, but for Pieck, it does not really make a difference. She claims that Armin can simply use the Colossus Titan to destroy the Founding Titan just like he obliterated Liberio’s Naval Port. Armin is naturally hesitant to take his best friend’s life so easily and argues that their first plan is to try to negotiate with him.
Eren clarifies quite clearly that there is no hope for negotiations, and he does not plan to stop the rumbling. However, he also adds that Armin and others are free to try and stop him. Once Eren has made his point, his old friends find themselves back on the plane again. Sometime later, the Eldian survivors from Marley reach Fort Salta on trains with the hope that they will find some planes there. But they are shocked to learn that Marley has declared war on them.
In conclusion, Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 29 is an emotional and action-packed episode that leaves fans on the edge of their seats. The episode ends with a cliffhanger, and fans can’t wait to see what happens next.
