The final battle is not a battle. It is an intervention. Eren’s former friends—Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Connie, and even the rebuilt Reiner—stand against him. They don’t have a perfect solution. They have a humble one:
Years later, a boy and his dog walk into the massive, petrified remains of Eren’s Titan. He doesn’t know the horror that happened there. He only knows a story—a warning about a boy who loved his home so much that he burned the world down.
