„Then They Would Be Lynched.” Hajime Isayama Revealed What He Would Add to Attack on Titan Ending If He Had Space to Do So
Hajime Isayama revealed how he would expand the ending of Attack on Titan if he had the opportunity. There would be further tragic events that would play out in the series.
Attack on Titan has come to an end – fans received the finale in the form of a manga, a TV series, and a film, so the story has reached its conclusion in every possible way, but that doesn't mean that this is the end of information about the popular series by Hajime Isayama. The AoT manga had its 15th anniversary this year, and a special Q&A session with the author of the series was prepared as part of the celebration.
During it, the mangaka answered fans' questions, revealing a few interesting facts about the series, several also related to the ending. Isayama revealed what fate would have befallen the Wall Titans, whose appearance resembled the Colossal Titan, after Eren's defeat, if he had space for it in the manga. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough pages to present everything that happened after the final battle. As a result, fans never found out what happened to those Titans: whether they returned to being humans, or maybe they just disappeared and nothing was left of them.
Isayama explained that if he could draw this in Attack on Titan, he would turn them into humans, however, unfortunately, they wouldn't stay alive for long.
If I had had space to draw it, I would've done it. But they would go back to being human and be completely naked. Then they would be lynched by the people who were about trampled by titans.
Their fate would be tragic, considering that years ago they were transformed into Titans, hardened as walls, used to commit the greatest massacre in the world, and finally killed for the crimes they committed while under Eren's control. Suddenly, they woke up after more than a hundred years, only for an angry mob to attack them for an unknown reason. Nevertheless, this vision perfectly aligns with the nature of Hajime Isayama's work, where brutality is abundant and tragedy begets tragedy.
