Highlights of the Final Season

Conclusion adapted from the manga’s final volumes

Season 4 adapts the story from volume 8 through volume 16, the last installment of the manga. Combined with Season 3, it covers all 16 volumes of :re in 24 episodes. Anyone wanting to see the complete story in anime form should not miss this season.

The series’ grandest climactic battle

The conflict among CCG, Aogiri Tree, ghouls, and humans reaches its absolute peak this season. Relationships and emotions that have accumulated since Season 1 all converge in an ending with genuine emotional weight.

A fast-paced narrative

Having to compress material from multiple manga volumes into 12 episodes means the story moves quickly at times. Viewers who want more detail are encouraged to read the source manga alongside the anime for a deeper understanding.
