"Eren became a protagonist who committed mass slaughter on a scale rarely seen in other works of fiction. As for why I conceived such a story from the beginning, part of it was my desire to create a narrative with a major twist-where the victim becomes the perpetrator."
"But a large factor was also my own immaturity and foolishness at the time, when I was in my early twenties. That aspect became the core of Eren's character, leading to the point where he confesses not as someone forced into wrongdoing by circumstances, but as someone who harbored a desire to do harm."
Hajime Isayama, the creator of Attack on Titan, has publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the series' conclusion, which has been met with criticism. He feels a sense of insincerity in the ending, particularly regarding the fate of the main character, Eren Yeager. Eren's transformation from protagonist to mass slaughterer reflects a narrative twist where the victim becomes the perpetrator. Isayama attributes this direction to his immaturity during his early twenties, which influenced Eren's character and motivations throughout the story.
