How Long Will The Last Aot Episode Be

Okay, folks, let's talk about something important. Very important. The final, actual, no-take-backs Attack on Titan episode.

The Great Length Debate

How long will it be? Seriously, are we talking a regular episode length? Or something... more? I've got opinions. You've got opinions. Let's hash it out (lightly, please!).

Think about it. This is it! The whole shebang is wrapping up. We need closure! And maybe a few extra titan battles for good measure.

The Bare Minimum Scenario

Let’s be realistic. Maybe, just maybe, we'll get a standard length episode. You know, the usual 23-ish minutes without the intro and outro. Sigh.

I hope I am wrong! Will that be enough to tie everything up nicely? Probably not.

I'd be okay with this only if they left the door open for a third "final" season... I'm joking! (Mostly).

The "Reasonable" Expectation

Here's where things get interesting. A one-hour special? That sounds about right. Plenty of time for emotional goodbyes and epic showdowns.

One hour would allow them to explain the complicated plot lines, right? Maybe? I'm not holding my breath for complete understanding of Eren's motivations, to be honest.

An hour would be enough time to show the state of the world, post rumbling? We might see where Mikasa and Armin end up? One can hope!

My (Totally Unreasonable) Wish

Okay, confession time. I want a movie. A full-blown, three-hour epic. I know, I know, it's ridiculous.

But hear me out! Think of the possibilities! Every single loose end tied up. Flashbacks galore. And all the crying we can handle.

We'd have plenty of time to see everyone say goodbye. And properly mourn.

"TATAKAE!"

The "This is What Will Probably Happen" Prediction

My money's on a longer-than-usual episode, split into two parts. Sort of like what they've already done.

It would probably be around 45 minutes to an hour total. I can live with that, I suppose. If it's well-paced, and doesn't feel rushed.

Because let’s face it, they have A LOT of ground to cover in the very final episode.

Unpopular Opinion Time!

Ready for my spicy take? I don't actually need everything perfectly explained. Shocking, I know!

Sometimes, a little ambiguity is good. Lets us ponder the ending of Isayama's creation for years to come. Like, was Eren really a villain? Or was he just... misunderstood?

As long as the characters I love get a somewhat satisfying conclusion, I'll be (mostly) happy.

So, How Long Will It REALLY Be?

Honestly? Your guess is as good as mine. But one thing's for sure: I'll be glued to my screen when that final episode drops.

With a big box of tissues nearby.

Because no matter the length, it's going to be an emotional rollercoaster. Get ready, everyone!
