Even if you are not familiar with manga or anime, you have probably heard of the title "Shinkage no Kyojin" at least once. It is a worldwide hit and a masterpiece among masterpieces, with a total of more than 100 million copies of the manga in circulation. The anime is about to enter its final season in 2023, and I am sure that many of you will be impressed by the countless famous scenes and lines. In this article, I would like to introduce a number of famous scenes carefully selected by the author for those who will be watching the work from now on. Even if you already know them, let's check them out as a review before the anime airs.
About "The Progress of the Colossus
First of all, let's start with the basic information about the original manga, which was serialized in "Bessatsu Shonen Magazine" (Kodansha) from the October issue (first issue) released on September 9, 2009, and was completed with the May issue in 2021. The total number of copies of all 34 volumes of the comics has exceeded 100 million. It was also published overseas in many countries and enjoyed great popularity.
The first anime season aired from April to September 2013 on MBS and other stations, and is currently in its fourth season, with the conclusion scheduled for next year.
The Story of "Shinkage no Kyojin
The most famous story of "Shinkage no Kyojin" is probably that of the battle between humans and Titans. The sight of humans being eaten one after another by the overwhelmingly powerful Titans, especially when the main character's mother is eaten at the beginning of the work, has shocked many readers.
However, the mystery surrounding the Titans has never been solved, and humans built three huge walls to protect themselves from the Titans. One day, however, one of these walls is destroyed by a "Colossal Titan" over 50 meters long and an "Armored Titan" with a strong body.
The main character, Eren Jaeger, joins the Scout Regiment to fight the Titans in order to avenge his mother's death. If you have not read the original story, you may be curious to know how the battle against the Titans will end.
Famous Scenes from "The Titans of Progress
"We didn't achieve anything." (Vol. 1)
This line may seem to have nothing to do with the story at first glance, but it actually has a significant meaning. When the Scout Regiment returns home from the research outside the walls, Brown's mother, who was one of the Scout Regiment members, learns that Brown was killed in battle when she does not see him.
Brown's mother asked Commander Keith Shardis, "He was useful, wasn't he? My son's death! It fed humanity's counterattack, didn't it!" She asks, "What good did it do? Captain Brown exclaims, "It didn't accomplish anything! he exclaims.
It is a line of despair that reminds us of the strength of the Titans and the weakness of humans.
Famous scenes from "The Titans of Progress" (2)
We will exterminate them! Every last ......1 of them ...... from this world!" (Vol. 1)
This is what most people would say when they think of the Titans. Many people would probably say, "I'm going to destroy them all," but this line that led Eren to join the Scout Regiment can't be ignored!
It has been more than 100 years since mankind escaped the wonders of the Titans through the wall. Humans had forgotten their fear and were living their days in peace. Then, the Titans suddenly appeared, and the fates of Eren and the heroine Mikasa were tossed to the winds. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a famous scene that symbolizes Eren.
The third famous scene in "The Marching Giants".
"This world is cruel, and yet so beautiful." (Vol. 2)
These words were uttered in the midst of despair after the attack on Trost District, when Eren's gas had run out and the three-dimensional activation device had been deactivated.
It was a line that gave us a glimpse of Mikasa's way of life and her unique philosophy. It is an important scene with a message that appears many times in the rest of the film.
Famous Scenes from "The Clash of the Titans" Part 4
"I promise you, I will! I will exterminate the Titans!" (Volume 3 Special Edition)
This is a line from Captain Levi Ackermann, a soldier who appears not in the main story but in the special episode of volume 3. In the story, Levi goes to investigate outside the wall five years after the appearance of the Colossal Titan, and during his repeated investigations outside the wall, soldiers were preyed upon by the Titans one after another. One of the soldiers is also eaten and nearly dies, but when he swings his sword with his last ounce of strength, Levi appears and defeats the Titans. Levi is known for his fastidiousness, but without hesitation, he held the soldier's hand and said these lines. It is an important promise to a dying comrade, and it brings tears to my eyes.
Famous Scenes from "The Marching Titans
The slogan of the Scout Regiment: "Give your heart!
This is a line used by the Scout Regiment to express their determination to fight the Titans, and it is a scene that carries a lot of weight. The battle is so difficult that it can never be accomplished with half-heartedness. How much blood and tears are necessary to overcome it, and this may be what "Shinkoku no Kyojin" is trying to convey.
Conclusion
I have introduced about five famous scenes and lines that appear in the work of "The Battlestar Giants" without spoiling anything. If you have become at least a little bit interested in the story, please do some preliminary study before the broadcast of the final episode begins.
