Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan journey, from Titan battles to complex characters, has shaped a cultural phenomenon.

Hajime Isayama's decade-long journey with Attack on Titan originated from a modest idea in his imagination. What began as a story of humanity's desperate struggle against giant, man-eating titans evolved into a complex story that explored the depths of human nature, the cycle of violence, and the consequences of choices.

Isayama gave a fascinating insight into the creative process behind Attack on Titan, revealing how his original vision for the series changed dramatically over time. His reflection provides a rare insight into the mind of a mangaka and the development of a story that has left an indelible mark on popular culture.

Building on Isayama's original vision, early drafts of Attack on Titan focused primarily on the awe-inspiring and terrifying nature of the Titans. In an interview with Febri, he revealed that his childhood fascination with dinosaurs and giant creatures was manifested in his detailed depiction of colossal humanoid monsters. He wanted to create a world where humanity's existence hung in the balance, constantly threatened by an overwhelming and mysterious enemy.
