In episode 76, a reincarnated Zeke emerged from the remains in the stomach of the unnamed Titan who had melted to a pile of bones.

Yelena’s scary, angry face is the highlight of episode 77. Although Isayama made Yelena’s face in the manga extremely scary, MAPPA’s animators managed to make it look scary. form Yelena’s face in the most sinister way possible.

Connie’s downfall in the first episode of Attack on Titan Final Season part 2 is particularly emotional. His family was wiped out by Zeke, and now faced with the possibility of Eren siding with Zeke (like being betrayed by a teammate), Connie’s rage is understandable.
In general, the frames in the anime adapted the scenes from the manga very well. MAPPA makes sure to focus on shadows and close-ups to show Connie’s emotional breakdown.

In the anime version, thanks to the composition and colors, this scene seems more poetic and beautiful. With her coat and hair flowing, and arms outstretched, making it all fit, Yelena looks frenetic and majesty in the animated version.
This scene only takes up two frames in the manga, but MAPPA freely added a scene of a spaceship passing over Yelena’s head. This helps convey the gravity of the situation Paradis is experiencing, as well as the sense of doom lurking.

Titled Two Brothers, episode 78 is one of the standout episodes of Attack on Titan Final Season 2 thanks to its thematic direction that ties the stories of different pairs of brothers together.

After most of the soldiers in Shiganshina District were annihilated, Zeke and Eren wasted no time trying to meet each other to activate the Titan’s power.
Unfortunately, their plan failed when Gabi shot Eren’s head off with a Titan killer. Eren’s head flew towards Zeke’s palm so both brothers were connected to the Path.
Wipe cut used in flashback sequence
Due to space constraints, Isayama chose to present the fragments of Eren’s memories as fragments in a single frame.
But in the anime, MAPPA made this scene so much better, using cuts liberally and creating seamless transitions of dream-like sequences.

Eren was originally a short-tempered teenager who wanted revenge, but over time he underwent drastic changes, turning into a calm but negative person.
In episode 78, when Zeke questioned the reason for Eren’s betrayal, Eren simply uttered his philosophy of life sternly, stating that he made such a choice “because he was born.” in this world”.
