Ending Animation
An ancient piece of wall art depicts a young girl receiving an apple from a hunched, demonic figure. An image of an ominous silhouette moves across the ground, followed by a wood carving of a massive, female, Titan-like figure looming over a group of warriors armed with spears and swords in the midst of a thunderstorm. An image of two herring cans flashes, followed by the number "845," which precedes an ancient mural of a king surrounded by his court. The king is embracing three young children at his feet, who tearfully feast on the flesh of a corpse laid out upon a candlelit altar.

After images of a strange writing, a horde of Titans is seen emerging from the ocean to invade a medieval town. Spearmen on the walls attempt to ward off the beasts, and shortly afterward the Titans are roaming the streets pursuing townsfolk. In an enclosed building, Titans surround a crowd of helpless civilians who are unable to escape. One holds an infant to the barred window in desperation. Outside, Titans ravenously consume helpless humans as a Colossal Titan stands ominously in the distance. Elsewhere, a long row of Colossal Titans marches forward, flattening the earth behind them with their gargantuan footprints.

Imagery of the civilians of Shiganshina, as well as the Order of the Walls flashes rapidly, followed by the sight of a large group of people clad in tunics embarking on an exodus across an open land. Imagery of the lands within the Walls can be seen, followed by a gull flying across the land on a cloudless day. Shortly afterward, Titans emerge out of the earth.

On an ancient and weathered painting upon a stone wall, dozens of humans stand at the feet of a short set of massive stairs lifting up nine titanic figures. Eight of the beings kneel at the feet of a ninth goddess-like figure standing above the rest, her right hand holding a warhorn as the left is raised to the heavens surrounded by a radiant light. However, the stone wall is cracked in an "X" shape across the woman's face.
