EPISODE REVIEWS
This episode is like partially canon to the main plot of Attack on Titan. It explores Mikasa's mind and alternate reality with the relationships that were and are close to her. This girl just never catches a break and sad but so in line with the themes of Attack on Titan.
This episode tends to take us to an alternate reality, like dissecting Mikasa's psychology, which is filled with trauma from loss. Besides, no matter what the universe is filled with, Mikasa's fate is definitely a very difficult one.
The plot of the finale shifts entirely to Mikasa Ackerman, exploring a hypnotic, surreal alternate universe created by her psyche to cope with the trauma of losing Eren during the battle of Trost. Character designs strip away the military gear, dressing a younger Mikasa and Eren in soft, idyllic rural clothing that highlights the childhood innocence they were robbed of in reality. The visuals use a bright, watercolor-like filter with oversaturated greens and soft sunbeams, making the environment feel fragile and dream-like.
