The anime that is attracting the most attention this year is definitely "Attack on Titan The Final Season". In the third season of the anime in 2019, the mysteries of "Attack on Titan" were solved, and it felt like a conclusion. Until now, humanity had no choice but to be brutally killed by the Titans, but with Eren's power of titanization and many sacrifices, they were able to defeat the Titans, and the secret of the Titans hidden in the basement of the Eren family home, which had been a mystery since the beginning, was revealed. The existence of humanity outside the walls and the inevitable conflict with them. The appeal of this "Attack on Titan The Final Season" is the story development centered on humans vs. humans, which has not been depicted in "Attack on Titan" so far, and the further mystery of the Titans is revealed. Many unique new characters will appear in "Attack on Titan The Final Season", which will be progressing at a furious pace towards the climax. For those of you who can't wait for "Attack on Titan The Final Season", we're a little early, but we'll introduce the unique characters that will appear from now on. In "Attack on Titan The Final Season," a huge amount of information will be pouring in as the story comes to an end, so let's prepare for the final chapter of Attack on Titan by studying up on it here.
Gabi Braun
Gabi Braun is a girl who lives in Marley, a huge nation outside the walls. She is an Eldian, the only race that can transform into a Titan and once ruled the world using the power of the Titans, so she is persecuted in Marley like other Eldians. Perhaps due to the strength of his desire to free his fellow countrymen and the influence of Marley's brainwashing education that "the Eldians who once ruled the world are devils," he has a strong hatred for the Eldians of Paradis (the people inside the walls). He is a courageous person who will not hesitate to charge into any dangerous battlefield, and perhaps because of his drive, he often ends up dragging his friend Falco into it. His hatred for the Eldians of Paradis somewhat overlaps with Eren's hatred for the Titans, and I have no doubt that Gabi, like Eren, will play a major role in the story. He is one of the characters to watch out for in "Attack on Titan The Final Season," so we need to keep an eye on him closely.
Falco Grice
Like Gabi, he is an Eldian from Marley and volunteered to become a Marleyan warrior along with Gabi to prove his innocence. In order to protect Gabi from the inheritance of the "Armored Titan" from Reiner, he is desperately trying to surpass Gabi's grades. Although his actions were motivated by his affection for Gabi, Gabi, who wants to become the "Armored Titan" herself, does not seem to notice his affection, and he seems to be a character who is unable to express his feelings strongly. He has a gentle personality and does not have the abnormal hatred towards the Eldians of Paradis Island like Gabi, and later when Gabi's sudden actions lead him to Paradis Island, he actively uses his wisdom to save her, and has the ability to respond flexibly. He also has a strong side to him, as he is able to act without hesitation if it is for Gabi's benefit.
Colt Grace
Falco's older brother and the oldest leader of the Eldian warrior candidates in Marley. He has already obtained the right to inherit the "Beast Titan". He seems to be a very caring character, saving his younger brother Falco from danger on multiple occasions and showing concern for him by saying, "I have obtained the right of succession, so Falco doesn't need to become a warrior either." Just as his younger brother wanted to become a Titan himself to protect those he loved, the actions he took to risk his life to save his precious younger brother ended up costing him his life. The subtle similarities in the actions of the younger brother Falco and the older brother Colt, as well as the detailed depictions of their respective emotional changes, are very well done, so be sure to compare these brothers as you watch the series. I'm sure you'll discover something interesting.
Zofia
Like Gabi and the others, she is one of the Eldian warrior candidates from Marley. She is a quiet character who rarely speaks in the story, and it is difficult to understand her emotions, but sometimes she is confronted by Gabi, who has a personality that is the polar opposite of hers, and at that time, she does not change her expression and simply replies, "No, this is my natural self," and although she is cynical, she seems to have adapted to the community with her friends. She loses her life in Eren's attack on Marley.
Udo
He is also one of the Eldian warrior candidates from Marley. As a character who wears glasses, he is depicted as one of the smart friends of Gabi and the others, who can understand foreign languages. Even though he is smart, he has never used his brain to do anything like Armin, and he is easily defeated by Eren's attack. Due to the extent of the damage caused by the attack, he is not even able to receive treatment, and meets a tragic end. He leaves without doing anything particularly impressive, and is a very pitiful character in many ways.
Porco Galliard
A warrior of the same generation as Reiner, he possesses the Jaw Titan. He was unable to participate in the operation to infiltrate Paradis Island after his right to inherit the Armored Titan was taken by Reiner, who had a lower grade than him, and later inherited the Jaw Titan from his older brother, who lost his life during the operation. Having inherited the same Jaw Titan as his brother, Reiner seems to have complicated feelings about the right to inherit the Armored Titan, including the fact that his brother died protecting Reiner.
Peak
He is a person who possesses a special titan called the "Cart Titan" that moves on all fours. Even when he returns to his original form, there are times when he walks on all fours because it is easier, and he shows off his eccentricity that is no less than Sasha.
Teo Magath
He leads an Eldian unit, but he is a Marleyan. In the story, while all Marleyans treat the Eldians coldly, he is often depicted as acknowledging them as his superiors, so he seems to be a Marleyan who understands the Eldians. He is also highly skilled as a soldier, stating his opinions to his superiors without hesitation, and is promoted to marshal in the story.
Yelena
He is the leader of the anti-Marley Volunteer Army. He is a follower of the leader Zeke Yeager, and together with Zeke and Eren, he launches a coup against the government of Paradis Island to oppose the country of Marley. He is portrayed as a psychopathic character who is ruthless enough to shoot and kill his subordinates in order to lead the Volunteer Army, but at the same time, he uses polite language in negotiations. The scene where he glares at Armin at the end of the series is known as one of the most terrifying scenes because of the scary look on his face, and he is a character I am looking forward to seeing portrayed in the anime.
Onyankopon
It's a name that makes you doubt your ears at first glance, but it's not a typo. His name is really Onyankopon. Onyankopon came to Paradis Island as an anti-Marleyan volunteer with Yelena, but in contrast to Yelena, he is a kind person who conveys Marley's advanced technology to Paradis Island, and perhaps because of this, Yelena did not inform him of the coup plan on Paradis Island. As a result, he is caught between his friends on Paradis Island who have been with him and Yelena's fear, and suffers. He is a rare really good person in Attack on Titan, and it is comforting to see him vividly convey the advanced technology. When Eren was finally in danger, he demonstrated his good judgment by freeing his friends on Paradis Island without Yelena's permission, and succeeded in overcoming Yelena's fear.
Attack on Titan The Final Season - Summary of notable new characters
In Attack on Titan The Final Season, a long time has passed since the end of the third season of the anime, and it is also characterized by the fact that the main characters such as Eren and Mikasa have aged. In particular, Eren's appearance and personality have changed significantly since the third season, and he expresses fewer of the emotions he typically does. For this reason, a major feature of this series is that a succession of unique new characters are being introduced to fill the gaps. In particular, Gabi and Falco, who are somewhat reminiscent of Eren and Mikasa, are at the core of this story, so I hope you will pay close attention to them. With no time to blink, the story of "Attack on Titan" is moving toward its finale at incredible speed, so there's no choice but to watch it.
