Synopsis

Setting

In an alternate reality, a human named Ymir Fritz became a humanoid giant called a Titan (巨人Kyojin) 1,800 years ago after making a contract with the 'Devil of All Earth'. Though she died 13 years later as side-effect of her new power, it was divided and passed on through her daughters before being divided into nine individuals who established the Eldian Empire. The Founding Titan remained with the Fritz family as they conquered the Marley nation and ruled over it for 1,700 years. But a century before the events of the main storyline, the Eldian king Karl Fritz was disillusioned by his family legacy and orchestrated his nation's downfall with Marley making the Eldians that remained into second class citizens while threatening to exile them to Paradis as mindless Pure Titans.

Karl took the remainder to the island of Paradis and used countless Colossal Titan bodies to construct a walled city with three enormous curtain walls: the outermost being Wall Maria (ウォール・マリアWōru Maria); the middle wall is Wall Rose (ウォール・ローゼWōru Rōze, sometimes pronounced like rosé) and the innermost is Wall Sheena (ウォール・シーナWōru Shīna, alt. 'Wall Sina'). Karl then used the Founding Titan's power to erase the memories of most of the Eldians with those unaffected either bribed into nobility or made into outcasts like the Ackerman family who served the Fritz family. Due to the Founding Titan's power, Karl influenced his direct descendants into continuing his work of ruling the Eldians within the walls through promoting fear of attack by Titans, who are Eldians that the Marleyians transformed and exiled on Paradis to terrorize the island's residents.

Due to Karl influencing his direct descendants via the Founding Titan power into continuing the deception, the Eldians on Paradis island believe that they are the only remaining humans and assumed the Titans were responsible. Unlike those who possess the Titan power, the Pure Titans are barely conscious as they instinctively attack and eat any human on sight. Their skin is tough and difficult to penetrate, and they regenerate quickly from injuries, except for a weak spot at the nape of their neck. The Paradis Eldians developed their own military branches to combat the Titans, the foremost being Survey Corps (調査兵団Chōsa Heidan) who attempt to reclaim territory taken by the Titans and are heavily derided in society because of their apparently senseless high casualty rate and little sense of progress. The second and largest branch is the Garrison Regiment (駐屯兵団Chūton Heidan), who guard the walls and the civilian populace. The third branch is the Military Police Brigade (憲兵団Kenpeidan), who guard the royal family and live relatively relaxed lives in the innermost wall, although this eventually results in fraud, corruption, and political subterfuge. The soldiers use a grappling, tethering system called Vertical Maneuvering Equipment (立体機動装置Rittai Kidō Sōchi) that allow them to jump onto (and swing from) walls, trees, or nearby buildings to attack Titans with dual swords, using gas canisters to propel themselves. However, despite it being the soldiers' primary line of both offense and defense against the Titans, it is useless in open and flat terrain like fields.

Inside the walls, the Paradis Eldians lived in uneasy peace for one hundred years with many people growing up without ever having seen a Titan. But this all changes when a group of Marley Eldians known as the Warriors were dispatched to Paradis to acquire the Founding Titan from Karl Fritz's descendants, the Reiss family. Through the action of the holders of the Colossal Titan and Armored Titan destroying Walls Maria and Rose, they ensured they and their comrades would be able to mingle among the survivors of the resulting massacre, the remaining Paradis Eldians living there being forced into the inner districts with the sudden population influx causing turmoil and famine.

Plot

Eren Jaeger lives with his foster sister Mikasa Ackerman and best friend Armin Arlert in the town of Shiganshina adjacent to Wall Maria, outermost of three circular walls protecting humanity from man-eating Titans that are said to have killed all other humans one hundred years prior. When Shiganshina and Wall Maria are breached by the Colossal and Armored Titans, invading Titans force humanity to retreat behind Wall Rose with Eren's mother among the casualties. Following the disappearance of his father Grisha, having only hazy memories and a key to their home's cellar, a vengeful Eren enlists in the military along with Mikasa and Armin, swearing to eradicate every last Titan.

Five years later, the three cadet graduates are positioned in the Trost district adjacent to Wall Rose when the Colossal Titan breaches the city gate. During the subsequent Titan invasion, Eren is eaten but survives after creating and controlling a Titan's body which he uses to seal Trost's breach. Following a military tribunal over his abilities, Eren is assigned to the Survey Corps squad under Captain Levi, Mikasa, Armin, and many of their fellow cadets following suit. Previously unaware of his abilities, Eren suspects his father's basement holds answers as the Scouts attempt an expedition to Shiganshina. But it fails due to a Female Titan attempting to abduct Eren, Armin deducing the Titan as their fellow cadet classmate Annie Leonhart who possesses abilities akin to Eren's. After a violent battle with Eren in Stohess that ends in Eren's victory, Annie encases herself in crystal to avoid capture. The collateral damage from the fight reveals massive titans within the walls.

Following the appearance of the Beast Titan behind Wall Rose, Eren is kidnapped by his fellow cadets Reiner Braun and Bertolt Hoover, who reveal themselves as the Titans who compromised Wall Maria. The two Warriors explain that they and Annie were sent to retrieve the titan-controlling 'Coordinate' power that Eren possesses. Eren manifests this power during an encounter with the Titan who killed his mother, allowing him and his friends to escape while the rogue Titan Shifter Ymir remains behind. The Scouts are then targeted by a conspiracy led by Rod Reiss and learn their fellow cadet Krista Lenz is Rod's illegitimate daughter Historia Reiss. After Eren and Historia were captured by Kenny Ackerman, Rod reveals how his family maintained the order the King established in the walls until Grisha stole the Founding Titan during Wall Maria's fall. Grisha is revealed to be a Titan Shifter who passed his power to Eren, turning his son into a Titan to devour him. Rod intended Historia to reclaim the Founding Titan from Eren, but she refuses to continue the status quo and chooses to save Eren instead. After Rod transforms himself into a gigantic mindless Titan in desperation, Historia kills her father in the ensuing battle, declaring herself as the new queen and using her new status to give the military authority over government affairs. The events also gave Levi a vial of Titan serum and Eren the ability to harden his Titan form, which the Survey Corps decide to implement in sealing Wall Maria's breach along with their new Thunder Spear weapons.

But the Scouts are ambushed by the Warriors and their superior Zeke, the Beast Titan, in a battle that ended with most of their members dead, Armin and Commander Erwin Smith fatally wounded, and Bertolt subdued. Placed in a difficult situation, Levi ultimately decides to use the Titan serum to save Armin instead of Erwin. After Armin acquires the Colossal Titan by devouring Bertolt, the survivors recover Grisha's memoirs from the Yeagers' basement and learn the truth of being descendants of the Eldians who fled to Paradis while those who remained on the main land became second-class citizens in the nation of Marley. Grisha's memoir reveals how he and his wife Dina Fritz, a descendant of the King's bloodline, were restorationists exiled to Paradis when their son Zeke exposed their activities. While Dina turned into the Titan that killed Eren's mother, Grisha was saved by his movement's informant Eren Kruger, before he is given the Attack Titan power and the task to retrieve the Founding Titan. While Eren learns he can use the 'Coordinate' through physical contact with anyone of the Fritz bloodline, he also learns the those with the Titan Power have their lifespan shortened.

During the four-year period after the Battle of Shiganshina, Marley engaging a combined offense as conventional anti-Titan weapons are developed, Zeke secretly has his emissary Yelena arrive to Paradis with an envoy from the Hizuru nation who Mikasa's mother is descended from. Zeke proposed passing his Titan power to Historia to help Eren deter foreign invasion until Hizuru modernizes Paradis, the arrangement requiring Historia to sire children to availability of the Founding Titan's power. Eren disapproves of this arrangement and decides to lead an unauthorized infiltration into Marley to extract Zeke. The Warriors fear the military obsolescence may lead to their people's genocide as they work with the influential Willy Tybur, whose family possess the War Hammer Titan, to gain global support for a resumed offensive on Paradis. Tybur holds a rally in the Eldian ghetto of Liberio with foreign dignitaries in attendance, revealing how the Eldian Empire fell was caused by its 145th King and that Eren's actions threaten world peace. Eren confronts Reiner before assassinating Tybur as he openly declares war on Paradis. With the aid of the Survey Corps in the ensuing battle, Eren defeats the War Hammer Titan, steals its power, and extracts Zeke. But on route to Paradis, Eren's friend Sasha Blouse is killed by Gabi Braun, Warrior candidate and Reiner's cousin who stowed away along with her friend Falco Grice.

Eren is detained for insubordination and his friends express doubt in his loyalties to them and Paradis over Zeke, citing Eren killing innocents and being indirectly responsible for Sasha's death. It is revealed that Historia is pregnant, preventing the Corps from immediately passing the Beast Titan to her and forcing them to place Zeke under Levi's watch. Suspected of arranging Historia's pregnancy to prolong Zeke's life, Yelena and her followers are arrested. The military's leaders distrust Eren and plan to relinquish his power following the discovery of his secret correspondence with Zeke and Yelena, prompting nationalist rebels loyal to Eren to assassinate the commander-in-chief. Eren escapes his cell and seeks out Zeke alongside his Yeagerist supporters. Meanwhile, the Warriors infiltrate Paradis in advance of a multinational counterattack against the island. Zeke tries to escape from Levi but is defeated and captured, remaining his past as a Warrior trainee under the mentorship of Tom Xaver, an Eldian scientist and the previous holder of the Beast Titan. Levi transports him to somewhere, during which a Thunder Spear blast unexpectedly leaving both of them mortally wounded. But Zeke is saved by a mysterious titan and found by Floch and the Yeagerists, while Hange escapes with Levi's motionless body by jumping into a river. It also revealed that wine imported from Marley to Paradis contains Zeke's spinal fluid, turning those drank the tainted wine into Titans that act on Zeke's command. Realizing they are at the mercy of Zeke and the Yeagerists, Pixis orders his troops to stand down.

At the same time, Gabi and Falco escape their holding area and unknowingly reached Sasha's home. There, they meet a girl, Kaya, whom Sasha had saved from a Titan four years ago; the girl was then adopted by Sasha's family. They go to a restaurant run by Nicolo, a Marylean soldier who was captured a year after the Shiganshina battle. Nicolo became a chef and made food which was enjoyed by Sasha and the others. Nicolo realizes Gabi ended Sasha's life, and he furiously attacks her with a wine bottle. However, Falco jumps in the way and saves Gabi, with him taking the full force of the bottle. Falco falls unconscious, while Gabi is taken to the Braus family, where they are informed of her role in Sasha's death. Sasha's father forgives Gabi, stating that Sasha was raised as a hunter, and that the world was one big forest full of wild animals, meaning that Sasha knew the consequences of war. As Kaya is restrained from attacking Gabi in anger, Nicolo informs Hange to wash Falco's mouth, because the wine bottle that injured him contained Zeke's spinal fluid.

Eren makes his way to the restaurant and meets with Gabi, Mikasa and Armin. He explains that he knows of the Ackerman clan and how they can manifest Titan powers even though they cannot transform. He states that the Ackermans need a host, or a subject to protect. He states that that Ackermans can experience severe headaches, a sign that their 'real self' is resisting their genetic need to protect their host, something Mikasa has experienced before. Eren states that the real Mikasa disappeared the day he saved her from human traffickers. He derisively calls Mikasa a slave, stating that he always hated her. Enraged, Armin attacks Eren, only to be stopped and slammed onto the table by a surprised Mikasa, proving Eren's point. Eren effortlessly beats up Armin, and then orders him, Mikasa, and Gabi to be taken to Shiganshina and imprisoned. Armin says Eren is the real slave, following Zeke seemingly without question. Jean and Connie had also been imprisoned on the orders of Floch, who has left Survey Corps soldier and is now loyal to the Yeagerists. Floch reveals that he knew of the tainted wine all along. However, when Eren enters Gabi's cell to ask her to help make contact with Marley, he is suddenly ambushed and held at gunpoint by Pieck, the Cart Titan. Eren calls her bluff, however, and in their subsequent conversation, Pieck claims to switch sides, and that she will help him find the other Warriors who have infiltrated Paradis. However, she leads Eren into a trap, and he is attacked by Porco Galliard, the Jaw Titan. As Eren transforms and fights off the attack, Marleyan airships arrive with parachute regiments, and he realizes that Reiner is leading the attack. While Eren fights Porco, Yelena and the Yeagerists manage to make contact with him. Eren ignores her and keeps fighting. Reiner joins the battle and starts to gain the upper hand, with Eren being shot by an anti-Titan weapon. However, Eren is saved by Zeke, who transforms into the Beast Titan.

Production

Hajime Isayama created a 65-page one-shot version of Attack on Titan in 2006.^[12] In a 2018 interview with NHK, Isayama revealed that his inspiration for the series came from his hometown of Hita, Ōita, while wondering if there were monsters beyond the walls bordering the town.^[13] Originally, he also offered his work to the Weekly Shōnen Jump department at Shueisha, where he was advised to modify his style and story to be more suitable for Jump. He declined and instead decided to take it to the Weekly Shōnen Magazine department at Kodansha.^[14] Before serialization began in 2009, he had already thought of ideas for twists, although they are fleshed out as the series progresses. The author initially based the scenery in the manga on that of his hometown, which is surrounded by mountains.^[15] While working at an internet cafe, Isayama encountered a customer who grabbed him by the collar. It was this incident that showed him 'the fear of meeting a person I can't communicate with,' which is the feeling that he conveys through the Titans.^[16] When designing the appearances of the Titans, he uses several models such as martial artist Yushin Okami for Eren Yeager's Titan form^[17] as well as Brock Lesnar for the Armored Titan.^[18]George Wada, the anime's producer, stated that the 'Wall of Fear' was influenced by the isolated and enclosed nature of Japanese culture.^[19] He also said that the inner feelings of every individual is one of the series' main influences.^[19] Isayama later would confirm that Attack on Titan was inspired in part by Muv-Luv Alternative, the second visual novel in the Muv-Luv visual novel series.^[20]

Isayama estimated his basic monthly timeline as one week to storyboard and three weeks to actually draw the chapter. The story is planned out in advance, even marking down in which collected volumes a specific 'truth' will be revealed.^[17] In September 2013, he stated that he was aiming to end the series in 20 collected volumes.^[21] Originally, Isayama planned to give the series a tragic conclusion similar to that of the film adaptation of Stephen King's The Mist, where every character dies. However, positive response to the manga and anime has caused the author to contemplate changing the ending due to the impact it could have on fans.^[22][23]

In November 2018, the Japanese documentary program Jōnetsu Tairiku aired an episode about Isayama's struggles to complete the manga, in which he stated that Attack on Titan has entered its final story arc.^[24]

Attack on Titan is the first manga ever featured on the program.^[148]

Reception

Attack on Titan won the Kodansha Manga Award in the shōnen category in 2011,^[149][150] was nominated for the 4th Manga Taishō Award and both the 16th and 18th annual Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize.^{[151][152][153]} The 2012 edition of Kono Manga ga Sugoi!, which surveys people in the manga and publishing industry, named Attack on Titan the eighth best manga series for male readers,^[154] while the 2014 edition named it the sixth best.^[155]Attack on Titan was the top favorite manga for Yomiuri Shimbun's Sugoi Japan Awards in 2015.^[156]Attack on Titan was the second highest selling manga series of 2013, with 15,933,801 copies sold in a single year.^[157] In April 2014, Oricon reported that 30 million volumes of the series have been sold.^[158] In the first half of 2014 it topped the chart, ending One Piece's five-year reign as the highest selling series in that period, with Isayama surprised about it and thanking the readers.^[159] By the end of the year, it was the second best selling manga with 11,728,368 copies sold.^[160] In 2015, the series sold 8,778,048 copies ranking third for the year,^[161] and 6,544,081 in 2016 for the fourth rank.^[162]Attack on Titan was the second best-selling manga of 2017 with sales of 6,622,781 copies, behind only One Piece.^[163] The manga's publisher, Kodansha, credits Attack on Titan for the company's first revenue increase in eighteen years.^[164] The anime is noted to have helped in boosting the series' sales while Mainichi Shimbun called it a 'once-in-a-decade hit.'^[165]

Six of the seven English volumes published in North America at the time charted on The New York Times Manga Best Seller list for the week of October 13, 2013,^[166] and volume one was on the list for 81 weeks straight.^[167] In June 2015, the first volume clocked in at its 100th week on the top 10 chart,^[168] having sold 2.5 million copies.^[169] It also currently holds the title of appearing on the list for a volume with 121 weeks.^[170] Volume one was also number one on Nielsen BookScan's list of top 20 graphic novels in American bookstores for October 2013,^[171] and for the month of September, the series had more volumes on the list than any other series.^[172] The Young Adult Library Services Association in the United States named the series one of its 'Great Graphic Novels for Teens' in 2013.^[173] Kodansha USA's English release won the 2014 Harvey Award for Best American Edition of Foreign Material.^[174]Attack on Titan was the only manga to be nominated for the 2015 Goodreads Choice Award for Best Graphic Novel/Comic.^[175]

Many have analyzed Attack on Titan as representing 'the hopelessness felt by young people in today's society.'^[2] while writer Mao Yamawaki called it a 'coming-of-age story of the boys and girls at its core,' with a new mystery every episode. It is these mysteries that critic Tomofusa Kure says amplifies readers' expectations. The artwork of the manga has been criticized as crude by some reviewers, with Isayama himself admitting his drawings are 'amateurish.' However, those same critics stated that after years of serialization, the art has been improving, and Kure believes that had the illustrations been 'refined', it would not have conveyed the 'eeriness' that is a key characteristic of the work.^[2] In a short review, Jason Thompson noted how the characters conveniently receive 'power-ups' to create plot twists, but concluded that these said plot twists and the manga's post-apocalyptic world are 'too good to miss.'^[176]

Political interpretations

The series has gained a strong popularity in not only Japan but also throughout the world. For instance, coverage of the anime appeared on the front page of the Hong Kong free newspaper am730 on May 27, 2013, concerning its popularity within Hong Kong as well as in Mainland China and Taiwan.^[177] The series also attracted criticism: the South KoreanElectronic Times magazine accused Attack on Titan of having a militaristic message that serves Japanese Prime MinisterShinzō Abe's political leanings,^[178] while the series also resonated with Hong Kong youths who saw the invading Titans as a metaphor for Mainland China.^[177] Hong Kong media commentator Wong Yeung-tat praised Isayama's style and the versatility of Attack on Titan's setting, which opens itself to readers' various interpretations.^[179] In 2013, after media linked to a 2010 blog post by Isayama indicating that the design of the character Dot Pixis was based on the Imperial Japanese General Akiyama Yoshifuru, an Internet flame war about the general's war record (e.g. allowing the Port Arthur massacre to occur) ensued on his blog and included death threats to the author. As many of the threats written in Japanese had grammatical errors, it is believed that they were written by non-native speakers of Japanese.^[180]

China ban

On June 12, 2015, the Chinese Ministry of Culture forbade distribution of Attack on Titan along with 38 other anime and manga titles which were deemed to 'include scenes of violence, pornography, terrorism and crimes against public morality that could potentially incite minors to commit such acts.'^[181]

This evening, the live-action Attack on Titan movie was shown at theaters across North America. Some moviegoers have been waiting for this day. The subtitle screw up, though, they could’ve done without.

Update: Funimation issued a comment regarding this issue, which can be read in full below.

At a showing tonight in San Francisco, there were reports that a third of the way through the movie, the English subtitles froze on a line of dialogue as the characters continued talking. Which seems like utter hell, especially if you’ve left the house and paid money to see a movie at the theater.

Kotaku has reached out to the film’s distributor, Funimation, for comment, but did not hear back prior to publication.

Unlike in the past, where subtitles were on each film frame, today’s subtitles are added digitally. The assumption is that this could be an issue with the software or hardware being used to project the film.

The majority of the reports appear to be from the San Francisco screening. Though, the same issue apparently did happen elsewhere in Texas, Ohio and Wisconsin. There were also reports (here and here) of the movie being shown free of subtitle snafus, so this is still hard to gauge.

Kotaku reader Daniel Barnes, who attended the San Francisco screening, writes, “Much hilarity ensued as me and a bunch of the other people in the audience began laughing and riffing on it.”

The subtitles froze on that line for the next twenty or thirty minutes as you can see in the stills Barnes snapped to show the extent of subtitle screw-up. Other Twitter users did likewise.

“Our theater stopped the movie, over an hour into it, and said they were gonna restart from the beginning,” Barnes added. Apparently, most patrons at this screening weren’t interested and were given vouchers instead.

In North America, the movie is slated to run at nearly 300 theaters. If you haven’t already, read Kotaku’s reviews of Volume 1 and Volume 2.

Update: Below is a comment issued by Funimation regarding this issue:

Both Funimation and fans of Attack on Titan have been waiting for the day when the live action movie would open in theaters in the U.S. Unfortunately, fans at a handful of theaters last night did not have the experience that we hoped they would have.

As reported online, there was a glitch in the middle of the Attack on Titan Part 1 which caused the subtitles to freeze on a single line of text for 10 or more minutes while the movie continued to play. Funimation became aware of the subtitle problem on Monday, September 28. All exhibitors were alerted to the issue and worked with Deluxe to provide a simple fix that same day to correct the software error. Funimation and Deluxe followed up with all exhibitors the next day – Tuesday, September 29.

The handful of theaters that experienced the subtitle problem last night did not implement the fix, which resulted in the glitch during their screenings. Our theatrical division and Deluxe are in contact with these specific locations to confirm the fix is being implemented and what, if any, assistance Funimation can provide to ensure this problem does not occur again during the remainder of the Attack on Titan Part 1 theatrical run. Funimation will be hardcoding subtitles on Attack on Titan Part 2 and other future releases to prevent this problem from happening again.

According to Funimation, less than 2 percent of theaters were effected by this subtitle freeze.
