If the world sucks, wouldn't it be great to have the power to change the world completely to make it better?Įren ended up getting injected with a serum that made him able to transform into a titan.
The latter is an increasingly common trope in manga, anime, and US comics, pretty much the ultimate power fantasy. He joined the Survey Corps to fight titans and got many rude awakenings about how hard facing titans would be and also discovered the real origin of titans and their part in not only keeping the kingdoms under control but that the royals could use the titans to rewrite and control reality itself. He had a one-track mind: he only wanted to do one thing in life – to kill all the titans after they invaded his city and killed his mother. Eren Jaeger, the nominal protagonist and presumed hero of the series, began as an angry, earnest, lunk-headed hero out for revenge, just like every Shonen manga hero. The biggest surprise in the final part of the series (now being adapted into an anime Attack on Titan: the Final Season) is the hero's heel-turn. Warning: Massive Spoilers Ahead:Įren Jaeger: Attack on Titan's Ultimate Big Bad and Self-Sacrificing Hero Of course, all the fans are going to talk about the final chapter for weeks, and we have some thoughts of our own. The manga currently has over 100 million copies in print worldwide. Then it exploded, and it was kicked the Western manga market back into high gear, a new breakthrough series that pumped new blood into manga sales. In fact, the English translation of the manga sold quite badly in the West until the anime came along. Both were bestselling books that became worldwide hits when a TV adaptation hit the air. Both have unpredictable plotting where nothing ever goes the way anyone wanted, and victories often come at a massive cost if they win anything at all. Both have warring kingdoms and political factions ruthlessly plotting against each other for power and control of the world. Both have bleak, violent plots where no one is safe a fan favourite character could easily get killed off suddenly. Both are dark, epic fantasies about warring kingdoms and besieged heroes facing impossible odds. Attack on Titan is the manga world's Game of Thrones.
