Imagine Hange feeling when she saw Falco Flying Titan

[AmranAziz-cg]

Mikasa:"He flies now!?"
Annie:"He flies now!

[leightonkekuewa]

Falco casually getting one of the most OP titans

[itoldyoui]

Falco is by far the best jaw titan in aot

[re]

0:20 give me chills. More than the speech she gave when found out Eren's death

[thanatos]

I've read the manga years ago but got literal chills at the moment

[thearbiter]

porco jumped at him like: "GIMME THAT BACK"

[gabrielvarca]

bro levi must be 90% adrenaline 10% human at the last few episodes, bro just got blown up, stitched back to life, goes in fight again then after this, he still has the energy to fight and blow up erens teeth for mikasa to end eren. Levi deserves 10, 000 years of vacation

[SapphoArimateea]

It's emotional to see Mikasa willing to die to buy some time for the others

[thetimkazakh.]

0:23 probably one of mine most favourite frames in the entire series.

[metalheadlass]

I like how Mikasa always gets saved by a miracle. Falco was magnificent!

[CandyPeach]

Mikasa: “I’m strong”
“Get out of the way”
Mikasa: 👁️ 👄 👁️

[Saphirakii]

I love the reference to Mikasa’s shitty speeches. The first time she did it back in Trost, Jean was appalled by how bad and stiff it was, and here Annie just goes ‘stfu and get on loser’ to save us from it again.
There’s a reason why Armin’s the one always talking and not her

[Roy-]

Just the fact that Mikasa was ready to fight all the titans is just nuts.

[dylanreyes]

When i first saw this i be like "GUYS ITS THE REAL BIGGEST BIRD" lol

[Phantom-uknd]

I love from 0:27 onwards, everyone was in bad shape and falcos entrance made it awesome. I also love how they slowly show they everyone is ok by cutting to them having a shocked reaction of Falco flying😂😂

[marywinchester]

Falco IS the Wings of Freedom! Let’s go!

[whosthealphanow]

I thought she grew wings and flew to eren like an airstrike 💀

I think that through this ending and in particular this scene with Mikasa’s wings (0:23), the author offers his takes on war and nationalism. They are obviously not some practical political advice as to how to prevent wars. They are rather implications of deeply philosophical reflections that speak to each one of us. War is inevitable because we humans won’t live up to what they are calling for.

The first reflection, which has been offered beforehand in an obvious and direct manner and so I will go brief, comes from Gabi, the Braus and Niccolo. All of us have devils in our hearts. And we must fight those devils, so that we won’t end up fighting each other stuck in the ‘forest’.

The second one, which is quite subtle and I was really really impressed with when I realized it from this ending, comes from Mikasa. Mikasa was the true answer to Ymir’s search for freedom that began when she let out the pigs.

Let me first explain what I think the author thinks freedom is NOT. True freedom is not about somehow escaping from this world full of evils and contradictions and pretending as though no tragedy ever existed. That is the kind of enslaving freedom that Eren has sought. That can only be achieved when there are no humans (hence no evil) around you. So Ymir, symbolically, runs away from people when she gets ‘freed’ by King Fritz. Escapism was the freedom Ymir admired. And when Eren realizes there is no escape from the cycle of violence, he chooses to ‘escape’ using his power, i.e. by eliminating the humanity that perpetuates the cycle.

No, the genuine freedom represented by Mikasa is to say NO to the evil that is being done by those you love, who might be your family or your nation, all the while STILL deeply loving them (think of those brave patriotic—literally country-loving—Germans who sought to assassinate Hitler, as depicted in movie Valkyrie). Mikasa was ‘strong’ not because she was an Ackermann (for that matter we have a superior candidate), but because she was eventually able to kill her dearly loved one to stop the horrible evil he was doing. That is why in the anime, in that awesome moment (0:23), she gets the true wings of freedom (Falco’s in reality, but symbolically). All the symbols of freedom in birds and wings in scouts’ emblem have been pointing forward to Mikasa, the ‘strongest’ scout.

Ymir searched for freedom, but could not attain it, because she loved King Fritz ‘unfreely’ (which I believe must be taken as the author’s symbolism for nationalism, or an uncritical, subservient love for one’s own nation which King represents) and so could not say no to the evil committed by Eldia by letting King Fritz be assassinated. Mikasa showed her what true freedom is, and that is why, when Mikasa speaks to the adult Ymir after beheading Eren, Ymir imagines what it would have been like to let King Fritz be assassinated and then take care of her three daughters. To the extent that this is infeasible, war remains inevitable, as we very sadly see today.

In conclusion, this masterpiece called AoT is a deeply profound and richly developed narrative that pushes us away from divisive nationalism (‘the forest’) and towards a common shared identity of humanity, under which even though we love our own nation and our own people (there is nothing wrong with that), we must say no when they do evil to other nations and other people. War is inevitable not because it is intrinsically so, but because we humans make it so by dividing and prioritizing our own people over and against other people.

Annie didn't have to come, but I'm glad she did, despite thinking her father already passed
