The creator of the Attack on Titan series has disclosed how two characters from his series are referenced from two other very famous television series.

Attack on Titan is one of the most revolutionary franchises to be ever written into existence by none other than Hajime Isayama. But many might not know how the creator himself is a huge fan of two other series that he has even gone to lengths to pay homage to in his own works.

Revealing in the Anime NYC Panel back in 2022, Hajime Isayama mentioned how two of the many characters in his series are based on the famous Breaking Bad as well as the Game of Thrones series.

Hajime Isayama Reveals How Two Attack on Titan Characters Are Based On Two Of The Best TV Shows

As mentioned before, Hajime Isayama, the creator of Attack on Titan has revealed how he is a huge fan of two of the most famous televised series, Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones. He revealed in the aforementioned panel how the characters of Falco and Gabi Braun in his series are based on Jesse Pinkman and Arya Stark, respectively.

Both Falco and Gabi Braun have been significant characters in the series, with each of them serving their own purpose till the very end. It is quite surprising to learn how these characters would be based upon others such as Pinkman and Stark, but it all makes sense at one point.

Surprisingly it is not only Falco who has been used to pay homage to the Breaking Bad series, as a titan resembling Saul, the infamous lawyer of Walter White and the main character of the Better Call Saul Series, soon featured after Eren started the Rumbling.

Attack on Titan Fails To Win The Best Continuing Anime At Anime Awards 2023

There is no doubt that Attack on Titan stands as a staple in the anime community being one of the largest anime franchises in the world. However, despite the series’ long-running nature, its recent Final Season Final Chapter Part 1 was not able to win against Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece when it came to winning the Best Continuing Anime Award 2023.

Nonetheless, fans should not be upset yet, as the series still managed to win the Best Drama Anime award as well as the Best Scoring Anime award for the high ratings it has received over the years.
