You Heard Right: Attack on Titan's New Movie Ends With the Wildest Post-Credits Scene Imaginable
Attack on Titan has never shied away from shocking audiences, but its latest film, Attack on Titan: THE LAST ATTACK, takes things to a whole new level. While fans expected the omnibus movie to deliver a cinematic experience packed with intense action and emotional gut punches, no one could have predicted the bizarre post-credits scene that has the internet buzzing. Featuring none other than humanity’s strongest soldier, Levi Ackerman, in an unexpected new role, this scene is a callback that only diehard fans will fully appreciate.
The movie, which compiles the final two episodes of the anime with enhanced animation and surround sound, debuted in Japan on November 8, 2024. Now set for an international release in early 2025, including the U.S. and Canada on February 10, the film is already generating plenty of discussion. But it is not just the epic conclusion that has fans talking, it is the surprising, hilarious nod to one of Attack on Titan’s lesser-known manga parodies that truly steals the show.
Levi Ackerman's New (and Unexpected) Career Move
Levi Swaps His Blades for a Mop in Attack on Titan’s Hilarious Finale
For years, Levi has been one of Attack on Titan's most beloved characters, known for his ruthless efficiency, sharp wit, and impeccable combat skills. However, the post-credits scene of THE LAST ATTACK re-imagines him in a completely different setting, working as a janitor in a modern-day school. This quirky sequence is a direct adaptation of the “Attack on School Castes” parody from Attack on Titan manga volume 34, where characters are humorously re-imagined as students and faculty members in an exaggerated school setting.
Seeing Levi swap his ODM gear for a mop and bucket is both surreal and oddly fitting. Fans have long joked about his obsession with cleanliness, and now, this scene makes that headcanon official. While it is played for laughs, the scene also serves as a clever way to provide a lighthearted epilogue after the film’s emotionally devastating finale. Instead of a grim or cryptic tease for the future, the series bows out with humor, giving fans a moment to breathe after the intensity of the final battle.
A Playful Goodbye to the Attack on Titan Universe
An Unexpected Yet Perfect Way to Say Goodbye to the Series
While Attack on Titan is infamous for its dark themes and high-stakes plot, the franchise has always had a playful side. “Attack on School Castes” was originally a comedic manga preview that depicted Eren, Mikasa, Armin, and the rest of the cast in a completely different setting, poking fun at school life tropes. By bringing this parody to life as a post-credits scene, the creators have given fans a final surprise, one that feels like an inside joke for longtime viewers.
This unexpected ending also reinforces that, despite its heavy themes, Attack on Titan is still a series meant to be enjoyed. It is a farewell that acknowledges how deeply these characters have resonated with fans while offering something refreshingly different. For both fans who love the idea of Levi as a janitor and ones who find it completely absurd, there is no denying that Attack on Titan: THE LAST ATTACK leaves audiences with one last unforgettable moment, one that proves the franchise is not afraid to embrace its own weirdness.
