Fans can choose to wait until next year to experience the ending of Attack On Titan with the anime’s fourth season, OR they can dive right into the manga and get a headstart on all the gory details. In Japan, a special exhibit appropriately titled, “Attack On Titan: The Final Exhibit“, reveals upcoming details about the series’ finale as well as commentary from the franchise’s creator, Hajime Isayama, on the upcoming chapters and those that have yet to be translated to animation. With Chapter 91 of the manga, “The Other Side Of The Ocean”, the creator was terrified of readers’ reactions!

Reddit User Yayuu shared the piece of art from the Attack On Titan exhibit that displayed the quote from Isayama expressing his apprehension in releasing the chapter onto the world:
An Isayama quote from the Final Exhibit: “#91, “The Other Side of the Ocean,” is the chapter I had the most fun drawing in my manga to date, but also the one where I was most scared of seeing how readers would react.” from r/ShingekiNoKyojin
“The Other Side of the Ocean” tells a tale of the war that Marley had wrought across the land in an attempt to claim further resources for their nation. The most terrifying part of the Marley empire isn’t just their technological advancements over the remnants of humanity within the wall, its the Eldian zealots currently in their employ. With a slew of Titans under their command, this chapter manages to be a brutal one in a line of brutal predecessors with war being the name of the game. It’s no wonder Isayama was so nervous about his fans experiencing this graphic chapter.
More than likely, we’ll be able to see this chapter played out in all its glory during the fourth season of the upcoming franchise next year. The chapter gives a much more in-depth not just into the carnage of Marley’s war, but the mindset of those Eldians working under the nation’s wing.
