The highly anticipated film, Attack on Titan: The Last Attack, is set to premiere in Japan on November 8th, and fans can expect a thrilling experience as MAPPA has confirmed that the movie will feature a new post-credits scene. This revelation has sparked excitement among Scout Regiment enthusiasts, leaving many to wonder if the brutal franchise might be setting the stage for a new anime project.

A Recap of the Series Finale

For those who may need a quick recap, Attack on Titan's final chapters were quite the ride. Studio MAPPA took over the production reins from Wit Studio, releasing the fourth and final season in segments over several years. The "Final Chapters" depicted Eren Jaeger unleashing the Rumbling upon the world, and considering the epic battles that ensued, it's only fitting that these events would be showcased on the big screen.

What to Expect from the New Post-Credits Scene

While the initial series finale featured a post-credits scene that focused on Eren Jaeger's grave, the new animated scene attached to the movie has fans speculating about its content. The original post-credits scenes showed Mikasa and the Scouts visiting Eren's grave over the years, culminating in a scene set far into the future where a child approached the tree beneath Eren's burial site. This scene hinted that the cycle was preparing to start once again, as the mysterious child might follow in the footsteps of Ymir and Eren Jaeger.

Potential for a Sequel?

Attack on Titan creator Hajime Isayama hasn't hinted at the franchise releasing any new manga chapters in the future. However, the recent short story, "Attack on Titan: Bad Boy", which explored Captain Levi's youth, has left some fans wondering if this new post-credits scene might be a stepping stone for a sequel series. If this is the case, it will undoubtedly spark excitement among fans who are eager to see where the franchise would go next.

A Possible Spin-Off Adaptation?

There is a major spin-off that has yet to receive an anime adaptation – Attack on Titan: Before The Fall. This light novel series, which has also been released as a manga, is set seventy years before the events of the main series and focuses on the life of Angel, one of the creators of the 3-D maneuver gear. The series also explores the story of Kuklo, a boy deemed "Titan's Son" due to his mysterious origins. If there's one story that deserves to be animated under the Attack on Titan umbrella, it's this one.

A Lasting Legacy

Regardless of whether Attack on Titan returns with a new anime project, the series has undoubtedly left a lasting impact on the medium. As fans eagerly await the release of Attack on Titan: The Last Attack in North America, they can't help but wonder what the future holds for the Scout Regiment.
