Hello there. I just watched AOT final season part 3 or officially Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season - Kanketsu-hen and Shingeki no Kyojin Movie: Kanketsu-hen - The Last Attack. I have some confusions and questions regarding the ending and end credit.

Please someone who know the explanation right please answer me to get the confusions outside the head and enjoy the time.
I wont ask any philosophy about Erens attack or the defense of Armin and friends rather it is about the aftermath and legacy of the battle of heaven and earth.

1. First of all, how did Mikasa arrived to Paradis Island with Erens head for bury from Fort Salta of Marley when it was 3 years after the battle when Armin and others arrived Paradis Island?

2. Did the rest 20% of the world accepted Armin and co.s diplomatic peace deal? Did the rest world found peace and lived with Eldians together?

Main Confusion

3. If they did find peace, then who attacked Paradis island after centuries as we saw using advanced missile launchers on a metropolis type futuristic Paradis Island beside Erens grave and the tree?

4. We also saw a next wave of ballistic attack on the ruins of Paradis Island. Why they did that?

5. A boy found the tree beneath which Eren lies and it was same looking as the tree which Ymir encountered. And the boy with his dog was about to enter the tree. What does this mean? Many folks over social media is saying that it means and optimistic future where the boy is entering with curiosity in contrast to Ymirs fearful hiding intentions. But to me it seems like the boy would likely get the titan again and would use it for revenge for destroying is home island. Please some one clarify it.

For numbers 3 and 4 , it’s likely that once civilization was built up again with the help of the last 20% left, the grudge held against Eldeians only got stronger and eventually those newly built nations bombed them to put an end to their generations of pain inflicted on the world.

And for 5, many people believe that someone attaining the founding titans powers from the hallucigenia a never ending cycle and that boy is now apart of it. (smth like that)

@Dadoodattack i see. thanks for your reply. but, since armin and co was in peacekeeping mission held supported by marley, why did it happen in the first place? as the world supported them then since they saw paradis island as a victim too.

I think for 1. the others didn't have a reason to return to the island. Most of the people on Paradis probably hated them, because they had betrayed them. But Mikasa didn't care. They also probably wanted to stay in Marley to make sure everything was going in the right direction. And when they returned to the island, it was to start the Marleyan embassy. You could also see them talking about how the people of Paradis could kill them if they wanted, but Historia would never do that.

For 2. I'm not sure. But I think they achieved peace for the following years. And also, because most of the world was wiped and Paradis was barely touched, I think Paradis became the strongest nation. We got to see a bit of their new military.

And for 3. and 4., I think they wanted to show that with humans, there will always come violence and conflicts. But Eren's goal was achieved, he wanted his friends to live a long life in peace. Though things change over time. I don't think the bombing of the island has much to do with Eldians, because we don't know how anything about the conflicts of that time.

For 5. I don't think it had anything to do with a optimistic future. I think it wad mostly symbolic and I think it's meant to be open for interpretation. The boy probably got the Founding Titan, but I don't think he would use it for revenge for Paradis, not at the start atleast. Because the island probably got bombed before he was born, or when he was a toddler or something. So he has no idea about who bombed the island, he have always lived in the ruins and never thought too much about it. It's just his reality.

But I would argue that's another story and Isayama will probably not build anymore on it. And by the way, are we really sure the whole island was bombed? We only got to see Shiganshima. I've thought about some of these things myself.

I didn't plan to write this long, but I hope my thoughts can inspire you and stuff, idk what to say. And sorry if I've formulated something weirdly, English isn't my first language.

I just realized I was a little wrong about 1., because in the end when all titans turned into humans again, Conny's mom became a human. It looks like he didn't visit her. But maybe he did.

I may have been wrong about something else too. Correct me if you want.
