What episode is "Retrospective" in Attack on Titan?
"Retrospective" is episode 86 of Attack on Titan.
As the crew sails to service their flying boat, tensions rise when Floch and the Yeagerists confront Hange and the group, setting the stage for a pivotal standoff over their shared objectives.
The engineers inform Hange's group that it will take at least half a day to get the flying boat ready. They realize that it will be too late to save Liberio at the Wall Titans’ pace. Kiyomi suggests they can leave by ship and take the boat to the Marleyan coastland city of Odiha, where the Azumabito own a hangar. Magath rushes Kiyomi and the engineers to the dock while Annie and Reiner use their Titans to protect them along with the ship from Floch and the Jaegerists. Mikasa, Hange, Jean and Connie help to fight off their opponents. Seeing the Titans struggling, Falco makes up his mind to fight. Pieck joins the fray after delivering Levi, Gabi, Yelena and Onyankopon to Magath. Hange spots a train of Jaegerist reinforcements which suddenly explodes and derails. Falco charges into the chaos, transforming into the Jaw Titan. Managing to barrel through the fight, Floch attempts to destroy the ship's hull with a Thunder Spear but is shot down by Gabi and falls into the sea. Falco eventually loses control and attempts to eat Pieck, but Magath manages to extract him from his Titan. Noticing a captured Marleyan cruiser at the shore, Magath decides to remain behind to destroy it and runs into Shadis, who had followed them to the port and taken out the train. The two men exchange words of mutual respect then destroy the cruiser at the cost of their own lives to save the world while the others sail off to Odiha. In a post-credits scene on the ship, Hange informs the group that Marley and Liberio cannot be saved, much to Annie's distress. After being convinced to stay, Annie once again questions Mikasa whether she can let Eren be killed to stop the Rumbling, admitting that she is tired of all the violence.
