Attack On Titan Season 4 Part 2: How Many Episodes & When The ...

Attack on Titan season 4, part 2 has officially started—but how many episodes is it set to run for? There are still a few volumes worth of manga for the anime to cover before the story finishes, so the question is how many episodes will be devoted to trying to adapt it all. There has yet to be an official statement on the episode count, but luckily various sources have still provided an answer to the question.

Part 2 of Attack on Titan: The Final Season picks up with Marley invading Paradis to capture Eren and take control of the Founding Titan. At the same time, Eren’s cultish followers, the Yeagerists, are trying to get him in contact with his brother Zeke, so they can combine their powers and sterilize all Eldians so that Eldians, and by extension Titans, will eventually go extinct. Whether or not Eren is fully on board with this plan isn’t clear, and the potential threat of the Rumbling also needs to be resolved at some point.

There’s a lot of ground left for Attack on Titan to cover, and according to various sources, there will only be 12 episodes to get it done, leading to a finale that should be airing on March 27. As previously stated, there hasn’t been an official statement from Studio MAPPA, the studio that currently produces Attack on Titan, so the final number could be different. However, the Twitter account for AnimeTV, which is a highly-reputed source of information for anime news, recently stated that there will be 12 episodes.

More support for the episode count comes from Funimation, the official distributor of Attack on Titan in North America. On Funimation’s page for Attack on Titan, season 4 is listed as having a total of 28 episodes. Part 1 of Attack on Titan: The Final Season featured a total of 16 episodes, so if Funimation's number is accurate that would seemingly back up reports that part 2 will indeed feature 12 episodes, with the series finale airing on March 27. While this information is not coming from Studio MAPPA itself, given that Funimation is an official distributor of the anime, anything they provide is more than likely accurate.

There are about 5 volumes of content left for the Attack on Titan anime to cover, and since the anime has always adapted about 4-5 volumes per cour—a term used to refer to a block of approximately 12-13 episodes of anime—it wouldn’t be impossible for the remainder of the story to be finished in just 12 episodes. With how dense with content a lot of the later chapters get, that could result in the anime being rushed; as such, they might want to avoid that by saving the final chapters for either another cour or a movie. Whatever the case, as of right now, part 2 of Attack on Titan: The Final Season is likely going to run for 12 episodes with a finale expected the final week in March, pending any unexpected last-minute scheduling changes.
