Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 23 Recap
After the rumblings began, the Wall Titans, who march alongside Eren to face the Allies, hurt many Eldians as well. While the wounded who have lost their families and homes are understandably angry, the vast majority who are unharmed rejoice in the antihero’s declaration of war on the rest of the world. The growing support for Eren is worrying for the soldiers because they fear an uprising. Therefore, Hitch orders some of her comrades to prepare for the worst, but while in HQ, she encounters suspicious footsteps going into the basement.
As soon as she opens the door, she is ambushed by Annie, who is lurking at the right time. Unfortunately, the Female Titan’s holder has weakened over the years, and Hitch easily manages to knock her to the ground and tie her hands behind her back. But Annie has already prepared for such an outcome because she cut herself so that she could turn into a Titan at any moment. Hitch understands that the odds are stacked against her and helps Annie escape. Along the way, the Female Titan’s keeper reveals that she was conscious during her captivity and knows what has happened in four years through Hitch and Armin’s regular one-sided conversations.
Hitch, curious about Annie’s motives and whether she felt bad about taking people’s lives, finally asks her the burning question. The latter does not try to justify her sins, but tells candidly about her painful past. Annie was born as a result of a forbidden affair between a Marleyan woman and an Eldian man. When officials found out, the toddler was sent to an internment area where she was adopted by a man named Leonhart. Unfortunately, Annie’s adoptive father wanted to live a privileged life, so he forced her to become a warrior.
From an early age she had to undergo rigorous training and over time she became strong enough to beat people who were muscular and taller than her. It cost a huge price, because all Annie now knew was hurting others, and she really didn’t care. When she was selected for the mission to Paradis Island, her father, who now understands the pain he inflicted on Annie, made her promise that she would return to him. Since then, Annie just wants to go back to her father.
Meanwhile, Armin prepared to go after Connie and stop him from sacrificing Falco, who could be used to negotiate with Reiner and Pieck. At the same time, Floch, along with other Yaegerists, tries to bring the situation on Paradis Island under control by convincing the volunteers who religiously followed and supported Zeke’s plan to join them. Pieck and General Magath, watching helplessly as the Wall Titans march toward their land, are approached by Hange, who claims to be unarmed and willing to negotiate.
Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 23 End: Why does Floch kill one of Zeke’s volunteers? What does he plan to do on Paradis Island?
Floch, one of the most active members of the Yaegerists after Eren’s escape from prison and ensuing rebellion, demands that Zeke’s volunteers give up their delusions. Most of them are silent and unresponsive, but one of the men protests and is shot in the hand by the de facto leader of the Yaegerists. Floch assumes his violent warning will discipline the volunteer, but when he continues to argue against Eren’s scheming, the former Survey Corps recruit doesn’t hesitate to shoot him on the spot.
The leader of the Yaegerists then claims that Eren entrusted him with his final plans from the beginning. After his escape from prison, the holder of the Founding Titan revealed to Floch that he was going to manipulate Zeke into using his full powers. So Floch had known for several months that Eren was never charmed by Zeke’s plan to genetically castrate the entire Eldian population. As the antihero takes on the rest of the world with his gigantic Wall Titans, Floch is going to crush every rebellion on Paradis Island.
Floch has already begun to carry out his plan by killing the volunteer, but he understands that Jean, who is tired of fighting and can be a vital ally, can be convinced by promises of a comfortable life. The de facto leader of the Yaegerists states that Jean no longer has to put himself through bloodshed and war, as the Eldians have already won. The simple persuasive argument seems to work wonders, as Jean appears clearly dejected and immediately lost in dreams of a better future. It may be called a major victory for Yaegerists, but their war on Paradis Island is far from over as Eren’s opponents slowly begin to regroup.
Is Levi dead or alive?
No, Levi isn’t dead. The life of the captain of the Special Operations Squad has been hanging by a thread for quite some time. Levi is badly injured when Zeke detonates the Thunder spear. It’s a miracle that mankind’s strongest soldier somehow survives the violent explosion. But after that, luck continues to favor his enemies, as Zeke manages to recover from his life-threatening wounds soon after, thanks to Ymir.
When the Yaegerists find Levi and the holder of the Beast Titan, it seems that the first one is dead. Hange is smart enough to quickly jump at the slim chance and claim that her boyfriend is no longer alive after checking his heartbeat. However, when the enemies do not take her word for it and try to confirm Levi’s death themselves, Hange jumps with her friend into the river that flows next to her.
After the rumblings begin and General Magath, along with Pieck, sees the Wall Titans approaching their land, they see Hange walking towards them. She is quick to confirm that she has no weapons, and she is with a harmless friend (Levi) who narrowly escaped death.
