Ending Animation
It begins with a field of flowers and butterflies. A bird then flies in and upward over the wall. While the bird is flying fields and two titans walking towards the wall are seen. When the bird is no longer seen, light from the sky is shown shining down through the clouds on top of the wall.

A young Historia Reiss (Anime) is then seen with a bouquet of flowers looking up at the sky. The bird then reappears flying toward the Shinganshina district then up again toward the shining sun over the wall.

A pebble is thrown at Historia's feet and she falls into a puddle of water continuing downward. A silhouette of young Historia is shown then transitions to young Eren Jaeger (Anime) and his father, Grisha Jaeger (Anime) walking into the forest. Historia turns around and sees Ymir (Anime) as she rapidly transforms from a child to her current age. Ymir holds out her hand smiling. When Historia tries to grab it, her hand goes through Ymir's, and Historia then falls as the background turns to black.

A flag with the Trainee symbol blowing in the wind is then shown with Mikasa Ackermann (Anime), Armin Arlert, Jean Kirschtein (Anime), Annie Leonhart (Anime), Sasha Blouse, Bertholdt Hoover (Anime), Reiner Braun (Anime), Marco Bodt (Anime), Conny Springer (Anime), Eren, and Historia all saluting.

Young Historia's foot is seen stepping on some flowers while running with a red droplet of blood ripples after taking her next step.

Young Historia stops running and is shown at her current age with the farmyard from her childhood memories at sunset.
