Attack on Titan directors tease major theme for Season 3 Part 2 Attack on Titan, KodanshaWith the second part of popular anime Attack on Titan\u2019s third season looming on the horizon, fans are more tense than ever \u2013 and the directors may have teased something \u201ccolossal\u201d for the show ahead of release. [WARNING: Spoilers ahead!] According to chief directors Tetsuro Araki and Masashi Koizuka, friendship will be a \u201ckey theme\u201d in the latter half of Attack on Titan\u2019s third season, as stated in Animedia\u2019s April 2019 issue. The directors encouraged viewers to pay special attention to the friendships between Survey Corps Commanders Levi and Erwin, as well as the bond between Eren, Mikasa, and Armin. \u201cWhen you think about it, Attack on Titan is a story that overflows with friendship,\u201d Araki said of the show. The directors likewise pointed out the final episode of Season 3 Part 1, noting an important conversation between the trio. The long-lasting friendship between Eren, Armin, and Mikasa will play a major role in Season 3\u2019s central theme. \u201cIn that scene, you can see a difference in Eren and Armin\u2019s priorities,\u201d Araki continued, taking note of a \u201crift\u201d that had grown between the two. \u201cIt makes for a thrilling story, and it hurts my heart.\u201d They also appeared to hint at possible romantic development between Eren and Mikasa, claiming that their relationship was different than pure \u201cfriendship\u201d \u2013 although they declined to go into further detail on the subject. Reiner and Bertholdt\u2019s sudden betrayal will likely be further discussed in Season 3\u2019s second part, according to the show\u2019s directors. In addition, the camaraderie between protagonists-turned-villains Reiner and Bertholdt will also play a major part in Season 3\u2019s second part, as Koizuka hopes to bring the characters to the forefront as foils to Eren and Armin\u2019s relationship. While the directors didn\u2019t go into much detail concerning Levi and Erwin\u2019s friendship, Araki claimed to be in the middle of creating a storyboard between the two, and stated that they are \u201cthere for each other, even for trivial matters.\u201d Attack on Titan\u2019s directors urge fans to pay attention to the relationship between Erwin and Levi in the show\u2019s final part of its third season. The second part of Attack on Titan\u2019s third season is expected to release on April 28, 2019, although no exact date was initially revealed. \u201cAttack on Titan\u201d S3 2nd-cour anime key visual (episodes #50-59).
