Opening Theme

  • Linked Horizon could return to do a final opening song after previously creating iconic AoT openings like “Guren no Yumiya” and “Shinzou wo Sasageyo.”
  • MAN WITH A MISSION could also be a strong contender after performing the excellent Season 4 Part 2 opening “Zankoku na Tenshi no These.”
  • Other possibilities are Aimer, Lisa, or E ve who have all contributed AoT theme songs before.

Ending Theme

  • Yuko Ando has done several emotional ending songs for AoT seasons and would be a good pick.
  • Aimer could pull off an impactful ballad ending befitting the series finale.
  • MPI and Mika Kobayashi have also done AoT endings in the past and could return.

Of course these are just predictions – the actual artists are yet to be announced. But fans are already excited to hear what unforgettable music will accompany Season 4 Part 3.

Staff and Animation Studio

Attack on Titan Season 4 Part 3 will likely see the return of many of the same key staff that have worked on the series up until now:

  • Director: Yuichiro Hayashi
  • Screenwriter: Hiroshi Seko
  • Composer: Hiroyuki Sawano
  • Animation: MAPPA

Hayashi, Seko, and Sawano were responsible for both Parts 1 and 2 of Season 4 after taking over from the previous staff. Since this is the final part, it makes sense for them to finish adapting the story. MAPPA has impressively animated Season 4 so far, delivering incredible Titan action and effects, so fans hope the studio can maintain this high level of quality right through until the end.
