Yuuichirou Hayashi, a highly influential director for Attack on Titan, recently discussed the reasons behind the creation of Attack on Titan: The Final Chapter -The Last Attack. According to Hayashi, the FINAL CHAPTERS special was originally intended to be a standalone film from its inception. Unfortunately, this plan was unable to come to fruition for unspecified reasons.

Hayashi emphasized the importance of the audience experiencing ‘Rumbling’ in its optimal form, which is why the project was initially announced for a cinematic release. The key staff members from the previous season will reunite to create this Attack on Titan compilation film.
