The third and final instalment of Attack on Titan’s fourth season is the most highly anticipated anime of 2023. However, a subsequent tweet suggests that the section would be split into many cours, with the first cours debuting on March 4, 2023. Since nothing has been confirmed or announced officially, this post should be seen as speculation at best. This leaker, however, has a track record of releasing accurate details about Attack on Titan’s climactic second to last season. Whatever the case may be, fans have not responded well to this information.
Part 3 of Attack on Titan’s last season is expected to air for at least two seasons and drop in March.
Mappa had earlier revealed in April 2022 during an NHK broadcast that Part 3 of Attack on Titan’s last season will premiere in 2023. Reports have been circulating recently that a release date in the spring of 2023 is possible. The tweet from today adds fuel to the fire by confirming the date, which is now set for Saturday, March 4, 2023. In the past, Twitter user heiwa (@heiwa505) has accurately revealed photos from upcoming episodes and season previews. As a result, the Attack on Titan fandom has responded as if the rumour were genuine. The reception has been negative, needless to say. Already, complaints have surfaced over Mappa’s decision to break up the final season into so many instalments. Part 1 of the last season of Attack on Titan included 16 episodes, while Part 2 featured 12 episodes. Season 4 already has more episodes than any of the previous seasons (25, 12, and 22), making it the longest season overall.
The 87th episode, “The Dawn of Humanity,” marked the conclusion of Attack on Titan: Season 2, Part 2. After 87 episodes, the anime has covered all 130 chapters of the manga, including the one with the episode’s name. Even with the epilogue, the manga only has 139 branches, which isn’t nearly enough for a multi-hour finale.
The most we can do is hope that the anime’s original ending is better.
For a long time, fans of Attack on Titan have argued over whether or not the series could finish with an original anime finale. It is good knowledge among fans of anime and manga that the audience’s reaction to the manga’s conclusion was less than favourable. Recently, fans have begun to acknowledge Hajime Isayama’s talent as a writer and publicly apologise to him. While Mappa has revived interest in the project and Isayama is now deeply involved in the development, the ending continues to be widely disliked, and many fans have called for an original anime ending. Anime originals would be added to Mappa if the notion about the third and final season of Attack on Titan being divided up into various courses turns out to be accurate. For this reason, it would be foolish to rule out the potential of a brand-new conclusion in the anime. Hopefully, the required official information will be released shortly.
