Overview

He is afraid that Eren has returned in revenge, but Eren is calm and explains that he is here for the same reason Reiner originally came to Paradise Island from. He asks Reiner why he attacked in the first place, and when he gets his point, he comes to the conclusion that both are the same. Given their situation, they had no choice then or now.

On the stage itself, Willy Tybur presents a theatrical production of Eldian’s story. As it is known to the rest of the world, only to reveal that the true end of the Great Titanic War was created by King Karl Fritz himself, who worked on the family Tybur will present the story of helos.

Except that the Founding Titan has now changed hands to Eren, who is not bound by the same restrictions as those from the royal family tree. Willy asks the world to join him as he declares war on paradise.

IMDb rating

My opinion :

This is one of the best stories ever told, period, with the declaration of war setting the stage for the series finale. It was the best episode of the series so far and it’s getting better.

Overall, “Declaration of War” is a fantastic adaptation of one of the best chapters in the manga, delivering the point of no return for Eren brilliantly.
