The final edition, coming in full swing, switches its momentum from an expository mode to a kinetic ride towards catharsis. The exploration of its themes emerges as an emotional crescendo that aims to bring a definite sense of meaning to its entire saga, yet still doing so without abandoning its integrity for convenience. Heartbreaking, thoughtful, and reflective, perhaps more than one anticipated given the rushed nature of its last two editions, but I am glad to see Hajime Isayama paying things off.
