I've been waiting for so, so long to see anyone at all recognize Attack on Titan's genius magic-system. Nobody ever brings up this aspect of the series.

> magic space worm shows up and creates everything i need it to
> genius
@@rumfordc Sorry in advance if I'm responding seriously and critically to a meme that just went right over my head.
What makes Attack on Titan's magic system genius is how intertwined it is with the biology and evolution of the world, the history of it, and the mystery-style plot driving the ship. Very few magic systems are so deeply integrated into every aspect of the story they exist within. Dune comes to mind as a phenomenal example of the same, The Lord of the Rings is another, it may be a weird example to jump to, but Chainsaw Man also has a magic system that is deeply integrated into every part of its world. That's more so what I'm getting at. Sure, maybe Attack on Titan didn't go any wider with its magic system than a few hyper specific Titan powers, but any great writer, anyone well-read enough to analyze media well, will be the first to acknowledge that the best stories are those as wide as a puddle and deep as an ocean, not wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle, because then you just have a shallow world.
@@rumfordc so you don't like the magic origin? and what does that have to do with the comment above or the video?
@@sparksdog8111 my intent is difficult to express because i have multiple problems and the first is linguistic. 1) "magic system" is an oxymoron. magic is inherently unsystematic. to the extent that magic is systematized, it feels less magical. a story should have systems, and it can have magic, but it should not have magic systems. 2) I love AoT, and LotR, and I agree with you about "integrating magic into the world" but I think the end of AoT failed to do exactly that. When it reached Ymir it tried to explain too much and ended up stripping the entire story of its agency and conflicting with the original themes of the story. Ymir's power should not have all been dumped onto a magic spaceworm. It would have been better off remaining a mystery. LotR doesn't have this problem because it doesn't attempt to explain the magic beyond a certain point. The magic stays mysterious and that makes the ones who wield it feel powerful. Whereas in AoT all of the power resides in one magic spaceworm that never speaks and is never discussed by any of the characters in the world. That worm is the opposite of integrated. It also turns the last fight into basically the Deathstar meme from Star Wars where just killing the worm immediately ends the whole battle and story. Every other death could have theoretically been unnecessary if someone had randomly decided to kill that worm earlier. If the worm were an unkillable mystery instead then the ending would have had more weight with everyone's agency intact.
I thought I was watching a 100k views+ video with the extent of the editing and quality, kudos
Ong bro this was so well made
Yeah it was great
Eren Kruger was proof of the attack titan’s ability before memories of the future episode
Exactly. It was subtle but very clear about such an important element in the series.
It was peak foreshadowing.
Also it was strange that every Titan was noted to have a special ability other than the attack titan until the reveal.
Eren crying under the tree in the first scene was foreshadowing of the ability too. Kruger's was more direct though.
@@rgw7345he didn’t have the attack titan there tho
@@Daniel-om4cethe power still works from his future self
9:00, um so about this, apart from the episode 1 dream, there is another obvious hint in season 3 episode 58 where eren kruger explicitly mentions the name of mikasa and armin when he doesn't know who they are yet. Plus when grisha asks about who armin and mikasa are he literally replies by: "mm...I don't know... whose memories could these be?" And ofc these are Eren or Grisha's memories bec no one else of the titan shifter at that time know who armin and mikasa are.
8:58 The attack titan ability was teased at the end of season 3 when mr. kruger was telling gresha to inherit his titan he said "so you can save mikasa, armin and everyone else" then he wasn't sure whose memories were these (they were either eren's or his father's)
Pretty sure they're grisha telling Krueger "look remember these names. Well, this is those people you were talking about
@@mystery785 Either way the ability is there
In fact, few people realize that the Attack Titan can NOT give its future users memories to the past. Note that the Reiss family doesn't seem to understand this power of the Attack Titan, which is strange, since they should know about all titans. Also notice that Kruger, right after saying that Grisha must save Armin and Mikasa, asks himself out loud "Whose memories are these?". If it was common to have memories of the future having the Attack Titan, he would already have many and would be used to it, but he was so confused that he questioned himself out loud. What really happened was that Eren manipulated Kruger into saying that, giving him memories of Grisha in the Paths. He did this so that when Grisha saw Armin and Mikasa, he would think "Oh, I see, so this is where I need to act." (And yes, they were from Grisha as it was the exact phrase he said before transforming Eren into a pure titan)
@@underswappapyrus1029 The thing is, it is probably rare because future users are the ones who chose whether to show the memories or not.
@@mahmoudwaelelmelouk8500 But why would Grisha show his memories to Kruger?
Eren's ability to see into the future was displayed in one of the first scene of the first episode, where he dreams of a bunch of things, including his mom being killed. When he wakes up, he has tears in his eyes, which Mikasa comments on.
My recommended hit a jackpot
bro you deserve way more attention thant "dont do it again" line had me laughing out loud please blow up so I can see more of your content
I didn't realize this was a >100k view video until I read the comments. This guy is next up mark my words
On a basic level, I really liked how there wasn't power scaling as much as there was "punch -> turn into bigger person -> punch but bigger"
Yeah, we see whenever ERen fights another shifter that it's still down to which of them is better at martial arts
"Magic systems are like burger king, in that you can have it your way, but that doesn't mean you should." Genius line!
Ill be real. I have no idea how negative cursed energy works in JJK. Or how curses work in general and i feel like everyone just pretends like they know what's going on
You just gotta multiply negative cursed energy by negative cursed energy which makes positive cursed energy which you can make into a cursed technique using your own inherent cursed energy. ITS FIRST GRADE SPONGEBOB!
JJK's power system is the embodiment of the "random bullshit, go!" meme. not that it's a bad thing, as it clearly has its audience. all form no substance is JJK's whole spiel after all; I'm not sure something fancier would make sense considering the type of experience the show strives to offer.
@@DavidP-DigitalArtthis lol
I thought I was the only one. Most JJK fans lack reading comprehension from the non-combat elements so I know for a fact they’re pretending to understand the other side
@@KeemJL I think that's just most shonen lol. the target audience prefers to turn off their brains and go with the flow. "oh yeah, that makes sense, totally. anyway, back to the pretty colors."
What I always felt fascinated by (well, when it got revealed) was how biological Isayama made his magic system in AoT. You can write a bunch of methods to have a piece of someone serve as the "source" for the magical power, drinking someone's blood or eating their heart are very tropey methods of "transferring" some power from person to person, but then you say something so out of the ordinary and weirdly specific like "spinal fluid".
"That's a concept a scifi series would be more likely to use, they even something scientific as injections", I sit there wondering. "And that seems so impractical of a power source, almost as if the power doesn't exist for the convenience of use. Is there a reason why specifically spinal fluid?"
8:55 We were shown this ability in episode 1.
OK, I concede. My main point is that we (or at least I) don't realize that is what we are witnessing. Honestly though, that makes it cooler that we are shown this detail all the way back to the first episode.
Eren Kruger also did in episode 58.
We weren't shown the ability in episode 1, but we WERE in Kreuger's last scene.
Remember that the Attack Titan sends memories to _past inheritors._ It doesn't just allow for clairvoyance.
@@seg162 The ability was used in episode 1 because once Eren was able to fully make use of the Attack and Founding Titan together, he could send or alter memories via the paths (which transcend spacetime). In other words, only Eren was able to send memories to his past self even before inheriting the Attack Titan.
@@R0bilicious Memories that the Attack Titan sends are already sent through the Paths without the use of the Founder. That's how they're sent to the past at all. The unleashing of the Founder's power doesn't perfect the Attack Titan's ability any further than already exposited (by Grisha) and explicitly demonstrated.
The dream sequence (which differs between anime and manga, for the record) is easily able to be handwaved away as dream weirdness, especially when viewing the anime since it includes imagery that will never be seen in the future and has to itself be handwaved away as dream weirdness. In regards to the manga's version (where the dream is just a POV shot of Mikasa saying "see you later, Eren" as she would in chapter 138), that comes off as early installment weirdness, since we know that Eren intentionally uses the ability (which is why Grisha's received memories are so selective) but there's no reason why Eren would intentionally send himself a spoiler about the last moment of his life with no context, and that he never invokes that dream for the rest of the narrative.
5:25 this was a key factor in aot's showing, every weeks we were left on a cliff hanger wondering what would happen for a week 6:40 yeah isayama definitely fucked up the ending smoking fent bruh.
8:50 believe it or not, before the reveal, I guessed it right that eren was in control in a different point in time veiwing the first episode and guiding Dina to his mom, I still cant tell you why he did it but I guessed that right, and then something else i realized, is eren did the same thing during s2 and led dina towards them and hannes ends up being eaten, potentially to further breakdown and keep eren on track and unlock the power of the founder, but I was somehow able figure that out so eren seeing into the past and future did not come as a surprise rather than a shit, I am starting to predict this.
We did see Eren's ability to see the future in the past
- We know from episode 1 that Eren somehow sometimes sees the future
- We know memories are a weird thing that can be shared through weird ways like touching a royal blood
- We know king Fritz' will overwrites the mind of the titan shifter if it's royal blood, meaning memories can travel through time
- We have several references to characters kind of hallucinating memories, the most obvious one being the Owl and his reference to Mikasa and Armin
- We know that somehow the founding titan acts like a god of eldians
- It is mentioned that for some reason the attack titan can see the future sometimes and nobody is sure why
- We learn that time in the paths dimension is a weird thing
- When Eren is looking at his father's memories his father doesn't see Eren, he sees Zeke, implying he is seeing through Eren's eyes, implying that the memories can travel backwards somehow
Finally Eren gets control over the founding titan and it all snaps together, Eren's been reading memories and sending memories back
Brandon Sanderson citation needed lol. Good video editing and presentation though.
Your 4th rule is a cool addition. Kind of like his 0th rule of cool but the inverse.
213 views feels criminal
Less than 1k subs???????????? The quality of this video is fantastic! Also the points of this video are imo spot on, and bad magic systems can feel so cheap.
The only real cheating was when Reiner did his "transferring consciousness to his body"-shite in the fight for Shiganshina. Never was hinted, never was given a sensible explanation in the context of the Titan powers and never came up again, just an excuse to have a false death twice.
Amazing video man! I love both Attack on Titan and fantasy writing so this was such an interesting video for me. Gonna watch your other videos right now and I'm excited to see what you'll upload in the future
Damn. You don't know how much I like AoT's magic system. I wanted something similar. I searched the whole internet and found no major analysis. Thanks for this video.
this is about to make me crate a game based off of the post credit scene
I would do unforgivable things for said game
Just found this channel, and dude, your quality and dedication to both these 10-25 minute videos and long format 1 hour + videos are definitely underrated.
Very nice video and you have a nice clear voice for explaining these things. Keep it up!
I desperately don't want to explain the magic system in one big exposition dump but it also is starting to seem like the only way to eliminate any misunderstandings about it...
This video was way better than I thought, props to you 👍
I think there's a bit of a debate on whether or not the power of the Titans could be considered magic, as there's bit more of a science/biology aspect to it.
Then again, the same could be said about vampirism and lycanthrope.
In terms of storytelling, I just lump everything outside our laws of physics as magic. I talk about it a little in yesterday’s video, but overall, the same loose rules apply. We just wanna keep our story logic consistent.
Glad I always had the right idea for a magic system thanks to this video.
Yoo this was good!! Hope you get big bro
Great video, always love me some Attack on Titan content but this was informative too!
Really surprised to come out of full screen and see you only had 299 subs. Happy to be the 300th :) cool video
glad to see that number has doubled since this comment
Nice video! Though, yeah, as some have pointed out, the Attack Titan's ability has been shown/referenced a few times. Chapter 1 (See you later, Eren), Eren Krueger telling Grisha to save Armin and Mikasa. There might more more instances that I am not aware of.
this video was so good, made we want to get into writing
This is so massively underviewed. The quality is of a 500k+ sub channel
I appreciate that my dude! We’ll get there. I might go crazy well before then, but that’s half the fun.
the only a**pull in my eyes was the fact that the female titan can actually eat other titans and use their abilities (or whatever that was) enabling Falco jaw titan to fly. On second thought the fact Zekes spinal fluid being the reason for Falcos titan being beastlike.
i dont recall any titan from Connies village nor any of the marley soldier titans to have a beast-like appearance
falco's pure titan form looked pretty normal, perhaps you are mistaking his jaw titan form for his pure titan one? all the titans zeke summoned were pure titans, pure titans are titans that didn't inherit any of the 9 titans.
The real a**pulling is when Reiner can move his consciousness to his ass
@@thomasdeen2099 you are right, i did a whoopsie there.
Thats wrong. The reason Falco was able to fly was because he drank Zeke's fluid and same thing already happened in season 3 when eren drank armour titan's fluid to get hardening ability.
@@sandeshjha5906 wasn't anniethe reason? Because falcos Titan did change massively after Annie said how the female Titan power work
We saw his Titan looked alike vs piek and then howdifferently he looked while flying
I’d assume you’re familiar with sanderson’s 3 laws of magic? If not you should definitely look into them they’re basically the first 3 here
Awesome!
Keep going!
What a fantastic video. Well done.
"I'd have to make my money off youtube to recoop my loses"
I had to make a quick check and noticed that you match the requirements for monetization (or at least basic monetization)
This channel is so underrated
Have you forgotten Eren Krueger knew about armin and mikasa even before they were born?
Subbed. Gonna screenshot your subscriber count to prove that I was here when you were less than 600 haha.
Love your thumbnail btw, caught my attemtion 😅
Good video you realyhave potential to be a great channel
You forgot the 5th rule: In your magic system you have to have the ability to lose it all.
This video is such a W
Bruh your analysis is pretty good! U just got yourself a new subscriber! Keep producing this shit man, I'd gladly chow down to them 😬
Google Brandon Sanderson laws of magic
"We were never shown ability to see future memories"
Well look at episode 1 and eren's dream
Had to copy and paste this from another guy who made the same point: OK, I concede. My main point is that we (or at least I) don't realize that is what we are witnessing on our first go around. Honestly though, that makes it cooler that we are shown this detail all the way back to the first episode.
@@E.B.AndrewsI don't understand how come you missed Eren Kruger conversation. That was one big mystery after season 3 which wad solved in memories of the future episode.
great work.
Awesome analysis. I recomend Brandon Sanderson’s free lectures on yt. They are a goldmine for creative writing from one of the biggest in the game
i agree from your example of attack on titan. and it show that perspective is one of the important aspek of it. also that rules that intended to makes boundaries of that said magic like in real life and make logical sense.
to me i have a question, how to tells a viewers that set rules of the implement the magic system in the world where everyone include your protagonist already knew everything of that magic system? it become sorta like everyday use in the world of that. the the source, the rules, the limitation and many more like in my hero academia, but more fun?
I feel like having 1 or 2 characters cheat the magic system is not too bad of a thing, so long as the way they cheat it is consistent. For example, toji's heavenly restriction in Jujutsu Kaisen sets him directly outside of the bounds of the power system by just giving him absurd strength and literally removing his access to the main magic system, but you don't see anyone complaining about it because the way he breaks the magic system is consistent and cool.
Underrated
Will you make how to not version or a second part of it? I am talking about Paths and Founder Titan since it destroyed how the magic System work
Great vid! One complaint though is the bleep around 3:30ish mark. It was just way too loud and abrupt. Literally took me out of the entire thing to write this. Just somethin to keep in mind in future stuff? Anyways good shit
That mcdonalds bit caught me so off guard LOL so many fun layers to that
AOT up to the time-skip has incredible world building and sense of progression, especially with magic.
It does make a lot of mistakes near the end of the series, the occasional hiccup is present in the early arcs too. Reiner transferring his consciousness into his titan body was such an ass pull.
Nothing was explained as to why there are 9 titan shifters and why the shifters are what they are? Why female titan and why armored titan exist. Why isn't there an apple pie titan for instance?
Anyway great video.
I agree on the consciousness transfert, never understood why Isayama did that, but about the "Why are there 9 shifters and why do they have those powers" I never really felt like I needed an answer. There are lots of things we don't have clear answers for in history, it makes sense such knowledge could just be lost in time. Just as much as one could ask "What exactly is the royal bloodline supposed to be if all eldians descend from the same person?".
Lots of things can happen over 2000 years, it makes sense for some to remain unclear. However, if I had to pick an answer, I'd say all of this depends on choices of previous founding titans: the choice to split the power over 9 different people might have worked out as some kind of vassalage system. Similarly, it is more useful to have 9 titans with different abilities, rather than 9 of the same (most of them also cannot be blended together: colossal, beast, jaw and cart all depend on different body structures. Armored and Warhammer consume much more energy for regeneration)
I think the royal family was born kind of the same way, with the owner of the founding titan making a deal with Ymir in oder to secure the power would remain exclusive to his dinasty or something like that
Great video
Very nice video.
I like yo humor. 👍🏻
Am currently in one of those situations where i just can't see a loophole within my system to make it work.
Does anyone have some general advice or self imposing questions that i could perhaps consider?
Great video dude!
Appreciated my dude. Gonna keep em coming til I go crazy/run out of ideas.
You should make a video on one pieces power system
That loud beep scared me while driving. Great video tho!
Irregular at magic high school has the best magic systems I've seen...
Your analysis would've been perfect if you had mentioned that this "new power" of Eren's was actually foreshadowed, so in a sense it wasn't a total surprise.
You just explained why new stars wars sucks. The force power seems to have no limits and can do whatever the plot wants it to, so I don't care when any force character does something.
This isn’t really how to write a magic system at all, it’s just talking about AOT’s. How is one meant to create a magic system that doesn’t resemble AOT’s from this video?
W algorithm
How many times did you say magic in this video?
I got bored, so I counted. 43.
2024 Apr 23
We were actually given hints about Eren being able to see into the future from the very first episode!
Before Eren wakes up, theres flashes of events that have yet to come, like the wall being broken, or Tyber being eaten!
If you pay attention to the end of Season 3 Episode 12, theres a really out of place glitchy teaser for the coming events of Levis choice between Armin and Erwin, but it wasnt just a glitchy design choice.
It was Eren!
Sending memories (of the future) back to us the viewer! To get use to do what he wanted (which was to keep watching).
Everyone is a slave to freedom, even us.
I haven't watched the video, but I'm confused... Magic system?
Check out this week’s video (May 11th). I go over what magic systems are. Thank you for checking out the channel!
The video is good, but not mentioning that it is completely based on the "Brandon Sanderson Lecture Series 2020 BYU Creative Writing Class on Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy" playlist is annoying. The laws of magic, the "promises and payoffs" perspective and even the final consideration about cheating - it's all there, you just (masterfully) applied these ideas to AoT.
I don't mean to downplay your work, because you did a good job with edition, narrative and the AoT analysis, but honestly, presenting someone else's ideas without giving them credit is not going to help you boost your channel - specially if these ideas came from one of the most read fantasy author.
Oh yeah. Sanderson’s lectures are a must watch. Those were probably the first lectures I watched that actually helped me write.
You're just saying what a hundred other people have said a thousand times
thanks for bleeping the swears
i see this video title a lot nowadays. it should be noted that "system" and "magic" are antithetical. the more systematized something is, the less magical it will feel.
i thought your thumbnail said "white better magic systems" so i thought "white magic is a better system than black magic.
I promise i am not racist
Save mikasa armin if you want to stop this cycle
This perfectly explains why the power system in jjk is bs
Sorry, but 'Attack on Titan' is a perfect exemplar of how an author will break the rules of his own magic system in order to get where he's determined to go; it was explicitly established in the final fight against Bertolt that a 'Colossal' titan's ability to produce continuous waves of scorching heat comes at the price of consuming its muscle tissue, while at the same time leaving it unable to move; indeed, it was by strategically exploiting these restrictions that enabled the protagonists to defeat Bertolt's 'Colossal' titan in the first place. Then the author either forgot or elected to ignore these restrictions in order to bring about a climax in which a vast phalanx of 'Colossal' titans walk/swim across the earth, emitting scorching heat all the while, and without their muscles being consumed in the process. In short, the author's own rules should have made 'The Rumbling' impossible, but it happened anyway because he broke them.
Bertholt wasn't controlling the power of the founding titan.
@@airwaves9611 What does that have to do with the established rules about how 'Colossal' titans work?
It's the generation of steam that uses up its muscle mass, not heat. Titans by default produce a lot of heat, the bigger the titan, the more heat it generates.
Example: Rod Riess's titan was so damn big that it generated enough heat that nearby trees just burst into flames, but it didnt lose any mass because it wasnt putting off steam. The colossal also generates heat by just existing same as any other titan, the reason things started to burst into flames during the rumbling was because of the sheer number of colossal titans in close proximity to eachother.
@@TheDudeFrom2077 So why didn't the 'Colossal' titans in the walls produce heat before 'The Rumbling' started (which they evidently didn't, considering Reiner was able to hide inside the walls for an extended period without being cooked, and there was no mention of workers being burned alive trying to cover up the one 'Colossal's exposed face)? Why didn't Ymir (the one with the girl-crush, not the one with Stockholm syndrome) get incinerated when she was engulfed by Bertolt's 'Colossal' hand? If the consuming emissions were specifically steam and not heat, why did Bertolt's ultimate attempt to dislodge Armin involve incandescent levels of heat rather than a telltale cloud of steam? If the heat effects of 'The Rumbling' are based on the default heat of many 'Colossal' titans being close together, why were the coalition navy sailors (who were at least thirty feet above the surface of the ocean while the titans were completely submerged) burned down to the bone in a split second, while Hange didn't succumb to the heat until she'd hacked away at those same titans at close range for nearly two whole minutes? The Rod Reiss titan seems like a gigantic plot hole in its own right, but we might want to resolve the matter of the 'Colossal' titans first.
All titans emit heat at all times, that has been established many times in the story. That is essentially a thousandfold when it comes to a Colossal Titan, and then multiply that by a million.
The Rumbling is like a walking inferno.
There were no rules broken.
Attack on titan is science fiction, titans aren't a magic system
Just because it’s science fiction doesn’t mean it can’t be defined as a magic system. Dune has a magic system. Star Wars has a magic system. Ender’s Game has a magic system, A Princess of Mars has a magic system, so on and so forth. It might technically be “science,” but if the science isn’t real, how far away is it really from magic?
buddy
Biting your hand to transform into a giant living being out of nowhere, transferring memories through (and forward in) time, and the paths existing outside of time yet connecting all Eldians? That's absolutely magic. Cry about it.
Surprised you used aot as an example, I see it as how you shouldn't use it for a lot of things. Make sure you know how the system works otherwise you get issues like the collosal titan just disappearing somehow. Make sure Your rules are consistent and clear otherwise final boss eren can just morph white titans somehow? And what was actually the worm thing and what is its purpose? Why does it hate humanity so? Why do titans eat people? Why do people turn into titans to begin with? If aot was a soft magic system then fine, but it is a hard magic system for the most part, and it's lame when we learn that oh actually OG titan can actually chose sides in the story. Make Your rules clear so I can delight in seeing our heros overcome it, rather than me scratching my head and wondering how they even did that, if it was even possible.
Most of these issues are explained in the show
Glad I'm not alone to think this way. It really had me going till season 3, i waited for all of it to make sense, then by the end i was disappointed that this is all we get. For the rules to be truly rigid you need to know the limitations beforehand. The final season he went Miyazaki all the way.. eren reincarnated as a bird, Titans can fly now, not to mention the mysterious time travel rules and their very very limited and narrow possibilities.. fans are left to interpret large portions of this system with limited hints and clues, if fans are left to argue and interpret to make sense just how established is this claim, it's not like they're questioning the layered narrative or its deeper meaning, its more aligned to wtf just happened..
Tbh the ending of AOT did break its own rules, mainly the fact Eren suddenly gained the ability to be a collosal titan, it was such an easy fix to. Make him turn into a humanoid founding titan instead of a colossal.
That, and also the rediculous retcons and decisions in the final stretch, like the tradwife dissasociation leading up to an incest necrophilia kiss that ungroomed ymir, ending the titan magic, and the "10 years at least!" incel outburst felt like parody or fanfiction instead of an official ending. Those sorta writing decisions ARE what you'd see in community made alternate endings, given the fact the fan made ending made some of the exact same types of decisions and was equally as groan inducing if not worse in some ways, simply because the fan made ending was just overly edgy.
U can make anything sound stupid if u put it this way, it wasn't the kiss that saved Ymir, it was her seeing Mikasa killing and letting go of Eren
I agree with the first part tho
@@patryk8719 It sounds stupid noamtter how you put it lol
@@nerdcuddles7731 well if you have problems with reading comprehension then it might ig
I actually thought this video would be good, but you obviously have extreme surface level knowledge of AoT with many factual inaccuracies claimed in this video lmao
I cannot watch shows such as JJK because the magic system is bad
Lmao, this video has to be ironic because AoT's is obviously one of the worst ones in fiction
Just because it’s not exaggerated as much as most shonens doesn’t mean it’s the worst. AOT’s ‘magic system’ is plot-centric rather than for the sake of upping itself each time it’s used. It’s written like a mystery novel rather than a dragonball-esque power-up galore.
That’s why I think people who aren’t familiar with anime tend to like AOT when they watch them, whereas shonen fans who have watched other animes would tend to project certain tropes or power system logics theyre used to onto AOT, and that can possibly make them like AOT less.
@@daniaaallots of shonen aren't dragonball bleach or naruto though... (I don't know if thus is unfair to naruto).
