Preview of Attack on Titan Final Season Part 3 Part 1
The episode opened with young Eren being awakened by Mikasa, and he realized that he was crying. The scene then jumped on the event when Eren and others visited Marley for the first time. There, Eren saved a boy named Ramzi; later, Eren apologized to that boy, knowing what would happen to him at the time of the rumbling.
The rumbling seemed to have arrived at Marley and massacred the humans. The collaborative party between Marley and Paradis island also arrived in Odisha, which is under the Marleyan province. There they tried to repair the flying boat with the Marleyan mechanics to get to Eren in order to stop the rumbling.
Out of the blue, the most loyal Yeagerist, Floch, came out and fired shots, which put some holes in the fuel tank of the flying boat. Floch was shot down by Mikasa. The mechanics then mentioned that they could stop the hole. But in the meantime, everything started shaking, and everyone realized that the rumbling almost approached them.
Hange then stepped up and decided to slow the rumbling by killing the titans so that others could fix the flying boat and leave. Hange made Armin the fifteenth commander of the Survey Corps.
Levi said his goodbyes to Hange by saying “Dedicate your heart” for the first time. Hange went out and tried their best to slow down the titans, while others were fixing the flying boat. However, Annie, Azumabito, Gabi, and Falco left with the ship. Armin and others were successfully able to depart from the deck due to the sacrifice of Hange.
When Armin and the others were planning how they could stop Eren, they were called by him to a place where all Eldians are connected. They tried to talk to Eren to stop the rumbling but failed. Eren mentioned that he will not stop and also added that he will not halt Armin and others from doing what they want.
In the last plot of the episode, the Eldians were seen arriving at Fort Salta by hijacking a train. In the meantime, Eren and the Rumbling were also near Fort Salta. The attacking planes left the area to bomb the rumbling. But the action was not effective, and the planes were destroyed by the rocks that were thrown by the Beast Titan, Zeke. Armin and the others then entered the scene and jumped off the plane to stop Eren. This is where the episode came to an end.
Final thoughts
