Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 17: Release Date, Speculation And Discussion

Episode 16 of Attack on Titan: Final Season marked the beginning of the much-awaited war between Eldia and Marley at Paradis Island.

Reiner and Eren are facing each other, and Marley is about to unleash an all-out attack on the ‘island devils.’

Marley’s reckless attack is more like an act of revenge they seek for what Eren did to Liberio. I am sure that they haven’t come this far unprepared; they must be having enough gun power to take down the Founding Titan.

The anime is heading towards a Round 3 between Eren and Reiner. Who will emerge victorious between the two old friends? We bring the updates on the next episode of Attack on Titan.

1. Episode 17 Release Date

Attack on Titan: Final Season will be coming back with a second cour that will animate the final chapters of the manga. Episode 17 will release in Winter 2022.

However, the exact release date has not been revealed yet. Fans are expecting the conclusive season to premiere approximately one year after the release of Cour 1, i.e., somewhat between December 2021 to January 2022.

2. Episode 17 Speculation

Paradis has turned into the most perilous battlefield that humanity had seen since the Great Titan War. Episode 16 confirmed the Pieck was just pretending to be on Eldia’s side to trick Eren and guide him to the jaws of the Jaw Titan.

Eren barely managed to save himself from getting eaten, and transformed into the Attack Titan. Episode 17 will be another episode filled with titan action, and we are going to see the Cart Titan and Jaw Titan vs. the Attack Titan.

I. Zeke’s Arrival

Think again, is Eren the only titan shifter on the Eldian side? How can we forget about his half-brother Zeke Yeager, who was a little worse than half-dead the last time we saw him?

Assuming that he has survived the thunder spear explosion, he will soon arrive to help Eren out. We will once again witness the infamous ‘Beast Titan Pitch,’ but this time on the Marleyan forces.

II. Improved Marleyan Artillery

Recovering from the Liberio attack so fast isn’t something that the Paradisians expected. It seems that Willy Tybur’s sacrifice didn’t go to waste, and the whole world has united against the Eldians.

This means we will get to see a more powerful and improved titan killing artillery. Captain Magath would never have led an army this far if they didn’t have the gun power to take down the Founding Titan.

III. Eren’s New Powers

We haven’t seen Eren in acting since the day he devoured the War Hammer Titan. By now, he should have inherited the powers and memories of the War Hammer titan, and we will most likely see them in his fight against Marley.

But that’s not what I am excited about. Like many of you, I am waiting for Eren to unleash the true power of the Founding Titan. Can the Marleyan forces push him to go that far?

3. Recap of Episode 16

Episode 16 wasn’t conclusive at all. In fact, it made us wonder what Eren real motive is. On the other hand, Armin got to know about Zeke’s noble intention, which made him break down in tears.

Meanwhile, Zeke was in a bad shape with more than half of his body blown into pieces. A titan put him inside its belly as a last attempt to save him.

I. Yelena Reveals the Euthanization Plan

Yelena visits the cell where Jean, Armin, and other soldiers who stayed loyal to the Survey Corps were held captive.

For those wondering why the Colossal titan can’t even escape a simple cell, such an attempt will destroy the entire area along with his comrades due to its nuclear power created just by its transformation.

Yelena seems surprisingly respectful towards everyone and called them the ‘heroes of Shiganshina.’ She even promptly kills Griez, who actively insulted Sasha in front of Niccolò.

She assures everyone that their motive is something as trivial as ruling the Paradis island or destroying Marley, and reveals everything about Zeke’s euthanization plan.

Everyone feels it hard to imagine such a ridiculous outcome. However, Armin understands the essence of this plan.

II. Pieck Tricks Eren to the Deadly Jaws

Eren arrives at Gabi’s cell and asks her to cooperate with him if she wants to see Falco arrive. That’s when Pieck turns the tables by pointing her revolver at Eren from behind.

However, Eren remains calm and composed since he knew that Pieck doesn’t have permission to kill the Founding titan. He instead asks her about her true intentions.

Gabi was relieved to see her senior after so long, but soon it turns out to be her worst nightmare when Pieck agrees to cooperate with Eren and point out the other Marleyans who infiltrated the walls.

Pieck guides Eren to the roof of their castle where she is supposed to pinpoint the exact location of the other Marleyan soldiers. Eren is well aware of the risk, but he is desperate to see what Pieck does next.

What she did next surely shook the very foundation of the Yeagerist army. She grabs Gabi’s hand tightly and points her finger towards Eren; soon the Jaw titan breaks through the floor and nearly devours Eren.

III. The War Begins

Eren instantly transforms to the Attack Titan, showing the extent of his power. Everyone notices Marleyan airships heading towards them, and it’s time for Marley’s counterattack.

Bring it on… Reiner

Eren Yeager

That phrase literally gave me goosebumps, and Cour 1 of Attack on Titan: Final Season comes to an end.
