In Attack on Titan: Final Season THE FINAL CHAPTERS Special 1, Eren's allies and former foes, the Survey Corps and the Marley's Military Unit, united to halt Eren's destructive rampage. In order to track Eren, they were compelled to utilize Azumabito's airship. However, their plans were thwarted by Floch and his faction. Faced with no alternative, Commander Hange Zoe selflessly sacrificed herself to enable her comrades to pursue Eren. Engaging in a fierce battle against numerous titans, she ultimately succumbed to her injuries.
Following the demise of Hange, Armin Arlert assumed the duties of the commander and devised a strategy to overcome his companion. Meanwhile, Annie's realization, prompted by Falco, sparked a newfound course of action to counter Eren. Simultaneously, the Survey Corps and the Military unit arrived at Eren's whereabouts, commencing their assault on the Founding Titan.

The upcoming Special 2 of Attack on Titan: Final Season THE FINAL CHAPTERS is expected to bring resolution to the conflict between Eren and humanity. Eren may employ his Founding Titan abilities to create duplicates of former Titan shifters, engaging in a battle against the Survey Corps and the Marelyan Military Unit. Simultaneously, the members of the Survey Corps might attempt to detonate Eren's nape in hopes of putting an end to his rampage.
However, with the manga creator Hajime Isayama stating that he created rough drafts for the episode, there remains a possibility of some differences from the original manga story.
Editor's P/S
As an Attack on Titan fan, I am eagerly anticipating the release of the final episode. The first special episode left us with a bittersweet taste, as we witnessed the sacrifice of Commander Hange Zoe. However, Annie's discovery has given us hope that humanity may still have a chance against Eren.
I am excited to see how the story will unfold and whether Eren will be successful in his plan to destroy humanity. I am also curious to see how the Survey Corps and the Marleyan Military Unit will work together to stop him. Overall, I am confident that the final episode will be a thrilling and satisfying conclusion to this epic series.
