Attack on Titan: There Is No Part 4, and How the Ending Was Released

Correction, 24 October 2026. This page used to be titled “Attack on Titan Final Season Part 4” and discussed the ending under that name. There is no Part 4. The anime never used that label. The finale was a feature length special called THE FINAL CHAPTERS Special 2. The page has been rewritten with the correct names and dates.

Attack on Titan finished on 5 November 2023, with a feature length special titled THE FINAL CHAPTERS Special 2. If you have been searching for a Part 4, that is why you could not find one: the final stretch was released as two specials rather than a fourth numbered part.

How the Final Season was actually released

Final Season 16 episodes, 7 December 2020 to 29 March 2021
Final Season Part 2 12 episodes, 10 January to 4 April 2022
THE FINAL CHAPTERS Special 1 One special, 4 March 2023
THE FINAL CHAPTERS Special 2 One special, 5 November 2023, the finale
A Part 4 Never existed

The confusion is understandable. Part 2 ended, and then a long wait produced something branded as specials rather than a part, split across two releases eight months apart. Plenty of coverage at the time referred to Special 1 as “Part 3”, which then makes Special 2 sound like a fourth.

Where the story ends

Spoilers for the ending from here.

Special 2 covers the conclusion of the Rumbling and everything after it. Eren’s campaign is stopped by his own friends, the world outside the walls is left devastated rather than destroyed, and the survivors have to live in what remains. The closing passage follows the years afterwards and ends on the hill with the tree, which is the image the final shot keeps returning to.

The adaptation follows Hajime Isayama’s manga ending, including the parts that divided readers when the manga finished in April 2021. If you disliked the ending in print, the anime does not rewrite it.
