The ending of Attack on Titan has always been a sensitive topic of discussion for the fans of the series for a long time. Although Isayama rectified the controversial elements of the narrative in the anime, it still divided the fans between multiple factions, each having different opinions about how he could have made the ending better.

Attack on Titan is considered one of the best anime and manga series in the world, and this puts Isayama on a pedestal for the fans. They have always recognized his work and his way of portraying the narrative in the most unique way possible. However, the conclusion led to Isayama himself apologizing to the fans for the controversial ending.

But what many Attack on Titan fans don’t know is that even the manga ending that created so much ruckus was not the original plan the mangaka had in mind.
