Meanwhile, the manga of The Attack of the Giants has been over for more than a year and a half, while the anime is preparing for its final run with the final phase of the last season. However, there are several questions put to the author regarding the narrative choices and obscure points of the story uncovered by aInterview with Crunchyroll.

During this interview, Hajime Isayama explains a few things, such as what Eren's life would have been like if he hadn't joined the Reconnaissance Army, or what the official language of the Attack on Titan world is. There is also another one that focuses on a very specific choice of plot and narrative.

"After the time warp and Marley's introduction, Eren disappears from center stage for some time. What was your intention in removing Eren from the plot at this point in the story?" A very precise question, referring to the moment after discovering the contents of the Shiganshina Cellar and arriving at the Shiganshina Cellar boundary a year later relates island of paradise, by the sea, Moment that marks a significant turning point in the history of The Attack of the Giants.

Hajime Isayama replies, “I've always wanted to be a storyteller. First, we don't have any information about the characters we've become acquainted with, and you shift your perspective to the front lines of the enemies - or who we thought were enemies - and start exploring their perspective as well. And then, just as we're beginning to get comfortable with and sympathize with her point of view, we introduce the main character as her enemy. How I would have felt and how the audience would have felt feeling in that situation was out of my control but It's something I've always wanted to do and have wanted to do."
