Attack on Titan Season 4 Part 3 Announced for 2023 Release

Warning! SPOILERS ahead for Attack on Titan season 4 part 2.

A third part of Attack on Titan season 4 has been confirmed to be released in 2023, following the broadcast of episode 87. Animated by Studio MAPPA, the second part of the fourth and final season began airing in January 2022. The series is adapted from Hajime Isayama’s hit manga series that ended in 2021.

Following a series of twists, betrayals, and reveals about the horrific origins of the Titans, Attack on Titan season 4 part 2 aired its final episode on April 3rd, 2022. Titled “The Dawn of Humanity“, episode 87 left its central characters in pursuit of Eren Yeager’s (Yuki Kaji) Founding Titan, as well as the hordes of Titans he awoke from their slumber in the walls during the Rumbling, hoping to prevent the fallen protagonist from wiping out life beyond the shores of Paradis. In a hopeless situation, Armin Arlert (Marina Inoue), Mikasa Ackerman (Yui Ishiwaka), and the remaining Scouting Regiment members joined forces with Annie Leonhardt (Yū Shimamura), Reiner Braun (Yoshimasa Hosoya), and the other Marleyans in order to put a stop to Eren’s plan. With the world of Attack on Titan left in a dire state, it was quickly confirmed following episode 87’s broadcast that a third part to the final season is in development.

Announced by the official Attack on Titan anime Twitter account, it was confirmed that further episodes of the hit anime series were in development. In the post, it was confirmed that the new episodes would be released as the third part of the fourth and final season following its broadcast by NHK in Japan. The tweet also featured a small video depicting the key visual of Attack on Titan season 4 part 3, which features Armin, Mikasa, and the alliance of Paradis and Marley’s forces standing in the footsteps of one of Eren’s wall titans following their onslaught.

As seen with Kaji even losing his voice when recording Eren’s dialogue, the most recent season of Attack on Titan has seen some of the series’ most emotional moments. Prior to the release of episode 80 “From you, 2,000 Years Ago”, Kaji revealed that it featured some of the most difficult moments he’s had to portray since taking on the role of Eren in 2013, as the episode featured Eren appealing to the Titan founder Ymir, before enacting his plans of starting the Rumbling and fall of humanity outside of Paradis, to the shock of his once-closest friends and allies. Bryce Papenbrook, who voices Eren for the show’s English dub release, has also spoken about the challenges portraying Eren brought in the season, stating in an interview with Screen Rant that his meeting with Armin and Mikasa in episode 75 “Savagery” was difficult to record with the character’s sudden turn on his oldest, closest friends.

While the final season has centered on the “War for Paradis” arc of the manga, there were concerns among fans about where the series would go following episode 87 in prior weeks. While the second part of the season covered events up to the source material’s 130th chapter, there are nine chapters remaining to be adapted, with many assuming that the final few chapters would be adapted into a film. The recent announcement following “The Dawn of Humanity”‘s Japanese broadcast is sure to help ease fans’ concerns, reassuring them that Attack on Titan‘s hit anime adaptation will be faithfully brought to a conclusion after almost a decade in 2023.
