Kolt Day is a computer science student and hobbyist writer who is bringing their brand of criticism and insight to ScreenRant. Outside of media criticism, they have a particular interest in philosophy, especially Nietzsche, Derrida, and Foucault.

"Eighty percent," Eren said sorrowfully; the impersonal calculation of those killed in the Rumbling, Eren's global disaster, hardly brings levity to the fact that Attack On Titanhas an unusual protagonist. Shōnen is a genre that abounds with chosen heroes: characters who, for one reason or another, are hand-selected by fate to rise to the occasion and lead others to victory, optionally deploying The Power Of Friendship. Attack On Titan is dismal by comparison.

Related Attack on Titan's Incredible Foreshadowing Redefined Anime Storytelling Attack on Titan's foreshadowing and non-linear storytelling redefined anime and set a new standard of what can be achieved. It also wouldn't be accurate to call Eren an "antihero". Antiheroes typically fill out the other side of a moral dichotomy of good and evil with motivations or methods that aren't typically seen as "good". Eren, on the other hand, wants to be a hero so badly that he strives extensively to fill out that archetype, and completely stops himself from listening to and considering the wills and desires of his comrades.

These actions are small. They add up. The Yeager family could have been anybody — or, tantalizingly, it could have been nobody. The mechanics of Attack on Titan create a world where there is only chance colliding with the active or reactive decisions that a person makes. In a way, the final part cheapens this by trying to force a "fate" narrative and having Eren retroactively tell Grisha to protect Armin and Mikasa.
