Hange VS The Rumbling
In keeping with the storied tradition of Survey Corps commanders, Hange delivers a valiant and self-sacrificial performance in a heroic attempt to buy crucial time for The Alliance to reach Eren amidst The Rumbling. Hange, both figuratively and literally, goes up in flames, embodying the epitome of courage as they single-handedly confront and take down numerous Colossal Titans, exemplifying the leadership qualities that earned them the mantle of commander.
The scene's emotional resonance is further heightened by the poignant use of the track "Bauklotze," a soundtrack piece that hadn't graced the series since Season One. This carefully chosen musical accompaniment, paired with the awe-inspiring animation, accentuates the colossal emotional weight of Hange's sacrifice. The juxtaposition of stunning visuals, evocative music, and the enormity of Hange's final stand culminates in a standout moment, leaving an indelible impression on the narrative and solidifying Hange's legacy as a commander willing to give everything for the greater good.
What Makes it Great:
- Hange's heroic and spectacular sacrifice.
- Spectacular animation fit for one of the best characters.
- The use of Bauklotze enhances the fight immensely.
