Character Development
"Attack on Titan: The Final Season" shines a spotlight on substantial character growth, especially for the key figures Eren Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman, and Armin Arlert.
Eren's development is satisfying because it isn't a sudden change; his determination, bloodlust, ideals, and inner struggles have been apparent since Season 1. His true plan and motivations finally unfold, concluding one of the most intriguing character journeys in modern anime. Mikasa's evolution is notable as she transforms from a supporting character to a central figure. Her unwavering loyalty to Eren and her crucial decision to end his life in the finale play a pivotal role in steering the narrative towards its resolution. Armin, another main character, undergoes significant growth, highlighting his strategic thinking and leadership skills in the final season.
In this season, we also witness the growth of other side characters. Jean Kirstein had been a selfish guy who always care about himself, but in the end, he's willing to sacrifice himself to save his teammates. Another character is Floch Foster, who used to be a coward, but remained steadfast to his patriotic ideals until his last breath. In summary, the character development in the final season enriches the narrative, amplifying the series' emotional impact.
