![]() ![]() In the real world, on May 15, 1932, a conspiracy by young members of Imperial Navy and the Imperial Army assassinated the Japanese prime minister. The Yeagerists, which are largely composed of enlisted men and young officers, assassinated their leaders for being too peaceful. ![]() The beginning of the Marley arc is straight up a fictionalization of the the Battle of Port Arthur, the closing battle of the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905). There's a ton of lore and history in AoT that's straight up copied from modern Japanese history.Īn island nation being forced out of isolationism by the sudden arrival of an overwhelming force, leading to a civil war led by an ostracized part of the military that is nominally fighting to restore the true monarch, followed by a rapid industrialization with the aid of foreign volunteers is a clear parallel for the Meiji Restoration. Massive spoilers for Attack on Titan seasons 3 and 4Ī big reason the Nazi-Jewish allegory doesn't work too well is because Isayama is Japanese. ![]() I think if Isayama tied the two big thematic halves together a bit better, people would get less confused over the ending of Eren's story.Īm aware I veered way more into plot stuff than you were addressing but I still wanted to write it out lol While I like the ending more and more with time, I do think this is a failing and don't blame people for getting thrown off by the shift. Then when Eren's real motives are revealed (couldn't accept the world as it was out of immaturity), the personal freedom themes come back, and it does feel a bit jarring. The focus on personal freedom from the end of season 3 (Kenny, Levi, Erwin) dropped in favor of the political drama/human nature stuff. The biggest muddling of themes that happens IMO is that he tries to do "the cycle of violence will not end so long as there are humans alive" while also exploring what would happen if freedom boner Eren learned his fate of destroying the world. I do not blame people for getting confused thoĪlso with the Eren thing, at least how I read it, he doesn't care about Eldia's restoration in the same fanatic way Floch and the Yeagerists do, he just needed a goon army to carry out the Rumbling for his own personal desires - which put them in a position to take over using Eren as their Hitler figure. Like the Eldians don't have the same history and context as real life Jewish people, so they shouldn't be treated the same way. I think with the Holocaust imagery Isayama intended it as shorthand for "this is a bad thing that is being done to the Eldians, you should think this is bad" without really thinking about what happens if you try and extend the allegory beyond that.
