Attack on Titan: THE LAST ATTACK (2024)

Attack on Titan: THE LAST ATTACK portrays LGBTQ+ themes through queer-coded characters and relationships, such as the deep emotional bonds between Levi and Erwin, and the identity journeys of Ymir and Historia. The film maintains Hange Zoë's gender ambiguity, supporting non-binary interpretations. This approach emphasizes emotional complexity and nuanced character dynamics, resonating with LGBTQ+ experiences through subtext rather than explicit declarations.

The film features Mikasa Ackermann, a highly skilled combatant, who consistently defeats male human opponents in close-quarters combat using blades and martial arts. Annie Leonhart also demonstrates superior hand-to-hand combat skills against male characters.

The film utilizes Christian motifs such as sacrifice, sin, redemption, and persecution to enrich its narrative. These themes are presented with gravity and depth, aligning the narrative with the dignity of these concepts and fostering audience sympathy for the persecuted, reflecting a positive engagement with Christian themes.

Judaism is referenced through the theme of persecution, likening the plight of Ymir's descendants to historical Jewish persecution. This narrative framing encourages sympathy for the victimized group, thereby affirming the historical experience and resilience associated with the Jewish faith.
