Attack on Titan Final Season Part 2 has ended, and with it came another announcement: Attack on Titan Final Season Part 3 is coming next year.

There are arguments that can be explored in favor of and in opposition to Attack on Titan Final Season Part 3.

Attack on Titan Final Season Part 3 Announced

It should be noted that while Attack on Titan Final Season Part 3 will only be adapting nine chapters from the manga, the said chapters are extremely plot-heavy.

This is something that the Attack on Titan anime adaptation now has the potential to address fully.

Since the pacing of Attack on Titan Final Season Part 2 effectively slowed down to a point where every episode practically adapted one chapter, it seems reasonable to infer that Final Season Part 3 would
