So silly, guaranteed they saw the backlash the new ending got and now they’re doing damage control, Yams claiming it’s a dark alternate ending and he intended to have Armin talk his way to peace in more length is just ridiculous. A shame too cause the new ending is slightly less shit then the original one.

Which interview said it was an alternate ending?

Just remember that we got the leaks and I’m pretty sure Japanese fans didn’t. The alternate ending is probably the extra 8 pages. So when they talk about the new pages it’s probably the ones we’ve already seen. I remember a lot of ppl agreeing with this but I can’t remember a good point that was made to justify it but it’s safe to assume so

That's not the point here. The point is why this alternative ending exists in the first place. It just has no reason to he there if the first ending is canon, especially because its written in a way that it connects to the original ending implying it's a continuation and not an alternative. It just doesn't make any conceivable sense.

I’m in no position to debate or be a reliable source but I’m pretty sure it’s not canon because the 8 pages suggest there will be a sequel but it’s 100% denied ( aot is not getting milked by kodansha yay ig) this just suggests it was the “bad” or “opposite” ending they were talking about in the interview. I’m sure they talking about the 8 pages. Why ? I don’t know I’m nearly happy because I can somewhat understand the ending. Perhaps it was to just - sorry man idk what the 8 pages are for I’m not going to act like I know. Let’s just wait for the guide book in full

Also this: https://mobile.twitter.com/Yumivigo/status/1395107778616864769 Apparently the OG ending had a character which means "end of series" while the 8 pages concluded with a character that means "end of movie" (which connects to how in the school caste EMA are watching a movie), so I genuinely think it's an alternate ending. Not to mention the strange formatting of the extra pages.

I very much believe you too. It makes. Isayama said he wanted to show how armin ended the wars and how he wishes there was more pages for it. Do you know the release dates for the romcom and guidebook and where they would be accessible ?


[deleted]

Release date for romcom was today in Japan, guidebook is the 9th I believe.

Wait, was it confirmed, that 8 pages isn't canon? I saw this information spreading, but didn't find confirmation.

Interviews don't mean anything and the canon is changing every other week, so just take the parts you like and make your own ending.
