Attack on Titan has been on a glorious run for the past decade. Hajime Isayama began the manga in 2009 and wrapped it up by 2021. The anime started on April 7, 2013, and its final episode was released on November 5, 2023. One of the exciting things about the series is that the fans criticized the initial ending, so Hajime Isayama had to write a different conclusion for the anime.
There were high expectations and hype surrounding the ending, and people were excited to see the changes made to the manga. But most people have overlooked an important aspect surrounding the finale. The end credits of the Attack on Titan finale completed a full circle and hinted at the end as the beginning of another Titan age.
Attack on Titan Finale End Credit Scene Leaves A Big Question Mark
Attack on Titan‘s finale delivered a fitting end to an anime masterpiece. Hajime Isayama was forced to write a new ending after heavily criticizing his manga ending. Even though he made a few changes here and there, he mentioned that he would not change Eren Jaeger’s fate in the anime. Everything was done brilliantly, but the end credit scene left a big question mark in everyone’s mind.
The end credit scene shows a young boy with a big backpack, accompanied by a dog, heading towards the big hole of the tree, under which Mikasa Ackerman buried Eren’s head. It all shifts back to Ymir, who also discovered the Titan powers in the same way: walking down a hole under a big tree. It has made the fans believe that Attack on Titan has come to a full circle, with the end being the beginning of another Titan era. The end credit scene was not changed from the manga.

Will There Be A Sequel To Attack on Titan?
The ending of Attack on Titan can often be misread as Hajime Isayama teasing a sequel to his magnum opus with another Titan-era inbound. There has been no confirmation of such information, and he has left an open ending for the people to decide on the future. For the moment, that is the end of Attack on Titan after a glorious decade of incredible twists.
MAPPA Studios did a great job with the animations and left no space for criticism. Attack on Titan will be remembered as one of the greatest anime ever. But the end credit scene will leave the fans hunting for answers. Attack on Titan was focused on the end of the Titan era so that Hajime Isayama might have something in his mind regarding the beginning of the Titan era. These are just speculations that will happen after such a great experience.
