Ending Animation
A line art image of a smiling Eren is drawn on a blackboard. Afterward, a series of still images featuring different characters in the same line art fashion is projected: Eren holds up a peace sign before switching to another drawing of him and Mikasa side by side. Armin appears in the next shot on Eren's right. Finally, Conny, Jean, and Sasha emerge behind them.

A fade in transition switches the focus to a hyperrealistic backdrop of a teacher's desk with a blackboard behind it. Animated on the blackboard are Eren and Mikasa running in place facing the left. At the same time, the minute hand of the wall clock ticks by.

Afterward, Mikasa, Eren, Armin, Conny, Sasha, Marco, and Jean hang off of a Titan's school bag. The same crew then sit on a Titan's lunch set, with the exception of Marco, who has been replaced by Annie, Bertholdt, and Reiner. Eren and Mikasa overlook a bowl of miso soup while Jean struggles to heave himself out of the bowl after seemingly falling into it. Armin is in disbelief to witness Conny and Sasha devouring the bread while Annie sits calmly at the edge of the plate. Bertholdt is submerged in a bottle of milk while Reiner stands beside him, although outside of the bottle, with one hand on the glass.

Eren, Mikasa, and Rico stand on top of an open textbook, situated on a messy school desk, while holding gigantic pens and an eraser. Armin hides underneath a textbook page with his futon on top of him. As Jean sits alone cross-legged impassively, Conny and Sasha turn a ruler into a makeshift slide.

Seated on top of a table tennis racket, Eld plays on a handheld game console and Gunther lies on his side while reading manga. Armin, covered by his futon, lies atop a ping pong ball as he watches Eren attempt to balance on a baseball with Mikasa holding it up from the side. Oruo lies on his stomach with a bleeding tongue as Petra looks at him in shock.

Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Conny, Jean, Moblit, Hange, Levi, and Miche hang off of a pencil holder. The first five aforementioned characters and Sasha then play musical instruments made from school supplies, mimicking No Name, with Mikasa as their lead vocalist.

The same backdrop of a teacher's desk is presented. As Eren and Mikasa keep running, sunlight gradually floods in the classroom until the two running students fade out and disappear.
