Đại Chiến Người Khổng Lồ Mùa 4, Attack on Titan Season 4 (2020)

Attack On Titan Season 4 is a story that goes back hundreds of years before humanity was almost wiped out by a colossal creature called the Titan. These giants may not have great intelligence, but what scares humans the most is their insatiable appetite for devouring humans, not for survival but for pleasure.

The remaining survivors have protected themselves by enclosing themselves within colossal walls, taller than even the largest Titans. However, after a hundred years of peace, the colossal Titans suddenly appear one day. The walls are destroyed with a single blow from these giants, catching the people off guard. The destruction happens so quickly and unexpectedly that the people inside the walls are unable to defend themselves. The Titans flood in, destroying everything in their path and, as usual, devouring anyone they can catch amidst the panic-stricken population.

In the previous seasons, the teenager Eren Yeager, along with his friends Armin and Mikasa, joined the Scout Regiment to fight against the Titans after they destroyed the walls, except for one. Eren swore to kill all the colossal Titans after witnessing his loved ones and comrades being killed by them. The peaceful days of humanity have come to an end, signaling the beginning of a brutal battle.

Nearly nine years after the events of the previous season, Attack On Titan Season 4 takes us to a bloody battle across the ocean. It begins with the battle between the Marley Empire and the Middle Eastern Alliance in the city of Slava, which lasted for four years before reaching its final climax.

In this battle, the people of Marley used Eldians, who originated from Paradis, as shields for their military and actual combat vehicles. Magath, the commander of Marley, not only directly commands the battle but also decides who will be the next generation of the current Titan group as their term is ending.

Gabi, a young Eldian girl, wants to become the next inheritor of the Armored Titan to serve the empire and prove that "Eldians in the world are not to be trusted, and Paradis must be destroyed." To demonstrate her strength and prowess, she came up with a method to destroy the armored vehicles carrying anti-Titan cannons, avoiding casualties for over 100 Eldian soldiers. And she succeeded, although she was almost killed in the process.

After the destruction of the anti-Titan cannons, Galliard, the Jaw Titan, was ordered to attack and breach the enemy's wall. Pieck, the Cart Titan, and Zeke and Reiner, who transformed from the naval fleet along with other Eldians injected with Titan serum, also joined the battle. The Titan army quickly annihilated the Middle Eastern Alliance with a decisive strategy. Reiner, as the Armored Titan, destroyed most of the enemy's artillery, and the coordinated actions of the Titans turned Slava into ruins.

As the naval fleet approached, Zeke, in his Beast Titan form, bombed and completely destroyed the enemy's ships, while Reiner, protecting him, was shot down.

After the battle, the Middle Eastern Alliance was defeated and forced to sign a peace treaty with Marley. In the final scenes, Reiner is severely injured and unable to move. In the city, a mysterious character appears.

With the transition from Wit Studio to MAPPA, Attack On Titan Season 4 still manages to captivate viewers with its excellent visuals and sound, despite some noticeable changes. If you are worried that the final season of Attack On Titan may not live up to its predecessors, rest assured that this anime series is still outstanding. However, the dark color tones that created a sense of fear in the previous seasons are not expressed as effectively by MAPPA as they were by WIT. The brighter color palette is more widely used in the 3D graphics. Nevertheless, many viewers still prefer the character designs from the previous seasons.

In terms of content, MAPPA cleverly arranges the events in Episode 1 to emphasize the key points of the final season. Specifically, on the other side of the ocean, humans continue to trample on each other for power and territorial disputes. Eldians in this place are also hated, and young children are sent to the front lines, rushing into a battlefield full of bullets. Titans are still incredibly terrifying, possessing superior armed strength and destructive power that surpasses even the Titans.

In Episode 2, Marley's ambitious plan is finally revealed, with the priority being to find and reclaim the Founding Titan to regain their dominance. The transfer of Titan powers to future generations is gradually revealed, followed by the plan to attack and put an end to Paradis.

Alongside the intense military situations, the lives of the children and Reiner are also highlighted. Reiner continues to dream of the warriors on the other side of the ocean, with their beautiful swords slicing through the napes of Titans. From there, Marley's plan is gradually unveiled, revealing the cruelty of the Empire in their campaign to conquer Paradis.

In Episode 2, viewers will meet Willy, the head of the Tybur family, the family that possesses the War Hammer Titan. They will also encounter Kruger, another form of Eren that he used to approach Falco, and then Reiner.
