Episode 7 ended with Eren inhering the War Hammer Titan, and as he was going to consume Porco as well, something unexpected happened.
Reiner transformed into the Armored Titan and appeared behind him, stating, “Let me die in peace!” Will Reiner stand as the last line of defense before the Paradis forces? We bring you the latest episode updates for this anime.
1. Episode 8 Preview and Speculations
The preview video hints that the Armored Titan is going to fall.
We get to see Eren being surrounded by his teammates and is probably going to get detained. Meanwhile, Gabi grabs a gun and heads towards the getaway airship to seek revenge.
I. Reiner’s Last Stand
The Armored Titan we saw at the end of Episode 7 was on its limits, and it wasn’t even totally covered with the hardening armor.
Reiner has completely lost the will to live, and I don’t think a mentally and physically broken Armored Titan stands a chance against Eren.
II. Eren Yaeger Detained
Paradis soldiers are seen pointing their guns at Eren as Captain Levi approaches him. Probably, he will be detained for his reckless actions, which endangered not only countless innocent lives but also the lives of his teammates.
III. Gabi’s Revenge
Gabi can be the ‘Assassin’ referred in the episode’s title. We know how she is consumed by hatred after the deaths of Udo and Zophia. Since she is seen heading to the airship with a gun, she may take down a few Paradis soldiers.
2. Episode 8 Release Date
Episode 8 of the Attack on Titan: The Final Season, titled “Assassin’s Bullet,” will be released on Sunday, January 31, 2021. Since this anime runs on a weekly schedule, new episode releases are seven days apart.
I. Is Attack on Titan on Break This Week?
Episode 8 of Attack on Titan: The Final Season will be released as per schedule. No such delay has been announced.
3.Episode 7 Recap
Episode 7 was full of action and tragic deaths that certainly makes us question, “Is there anyone right or wrong in a war?” Here, I have broken down the episode into different sub-parts, explaining everything you need to know.
I. Levi vs. Beast Titan Second Round
The second round between Levi and the Beast wasn’t as intense as their first encounter, but it once again confirmed Captain Levi as the superior one between the two.
Zeke bluntly claims Levi Ackerman as his archenemy and calls him out to appear on the battlefield. He keeps throwing boulders over the Paradis forces to lure him out.
Meanwhile, far away in the ocean, Armin transforms into the Colossal Titan, completely crushing the Marleyan navy.
Taking advantage of this distraction, Levi sneaks behind the Beast Titan’s back and takes it down. He even blasts its face with a hand grenade.
Maybe that’s why Levi kept looking at his watch, waiting for Armin to be the distraction that gave him the opening to strike. However, it may be a part of the plan that will be explained in the later episodes.
II. The Fall of the Cart Titan
With the war chief down, it’s up to Porco and Pieck to stand strong as the last line of defense. The Panzer keeps protecting Pieck till Sasha lands a headshot on Carlo, thereby taking down one of its machine guns.
We know how Pieck is emotionally attached to the Panzer Unit, and she rushes to make Sasha pay for this. Taking full advantage of this recklessness, the Paradis forces blast her with multiple thunder spears.
Falco and the Marleyan soldiers barely manage to save Pieck from certain death. However, she is in bad shape, and we know that the Cart Titan cannot heal as fast as the other nine titans.
III. Eren Consuming the War Hammer Titan
The wielder of the War Hammer Titan has protected herself by forming a crystal around her body. Unlike Annie, here, the wielder is conscious even inside the crystal and keeps fighting against Eren in various ways.
Eren tries to eat her, but his teeth aren’t strong enough to break the crystal. However, he notices that Porco’s claws can scratch the crystal.
A little later, Mikasa immobilizes the Jaw Titan by cutting its legs, and Eren takes on a fight with it, tearing his remaining two limbs.
Eren uses the jaws of the Jaw Titan to shatter down the impenetrable crystal and thus consumes the War Hammer Titan, inheriting all its power.
IV. Arrival of Rescue Party
Just when the Marleyan forces thought they have cornered Paradis soldiers, Hange and others arrive on an airship. The plan is to rescue the remaining alive soldiers back to the Paradis.
Meanwhile, as Eren is about to eat Porco, and Reiner appears before him, standing on his way once again, but this time, as a protector of humanity.
