The Figure of Mikasa Walking Toward the Gravestone with Her Hand on Her Scarf... A Flurry of "I Cried" Comments for the Unveiling of the "Attack on Titan" MAPPA 15th Anniversary Visual

On MAPPA's official X account, a newly drawn visual for the anime "Attack on Titan" The Final Season was released as the second installment of their "15th Anniversary Key Visuals," becoming a hot topic. It is a beautiful yet sorrowful piece that gives a glimpse of the aftermath of the story, drawing a massive response from fans both domestically and internationally.

The post includes a message along with the URL for the 15th-anniversary special website. The production staff is also explicitly listed, noting that Director Yuichiro Hayashi handled the layout, Tomohiro Kishi did the illustration, Itsuku Onishi was in charge of coloring, Yumena Ohama managed the background, and Yusuke Tannawa was responsible for photography.

The visual depicts the back view of Mikasa Ackerman (CV: Yui Ishikawa) walking along a path in a meadow where colorful flowers bloom in profusion. A large tree towers in the direction of Mikasa's gaze, and at its base, a gravestone believed to be Eren Yeager's (CV: Yuki Kaji) can be seen. Mikasa is heading toward the tree while placing her hand on her red scarf, and the "15th MAPPA" logo is positioned in the bottom left of the screen.

The anime "Attack on Titan" is a dark fantasy work based on the manga of the same name by Hajime Isayama. It depicts the harsh battle between humanity and the titans who possess overwhelming power, boasting global popularity. The first season of the TV anime began broadcasting in 2013, and it was subsequently produced up to The Final Season. As the truth outside the walls and the structure of the world come to light, a deep and profound story unfolds, evolving from a mere battle between humans and titans into a complex ensemble drama between nations and ethnicities.

In response to this post, reactions from fans flooded in, such as "I cried... Is this another one of those things with hidden meanings in flower language...?", "Mikasa...", "I can see Eren's grave too," and "In the final episode, she wore something like pumps, not boots, and here it looks like she is rewrapping the scarf herself, so maybe this is a slightly more grown-up Mikasa."
