In the live-action film adaptations, he is portrayed by Haruma Miura.Ĭritical reception to Eren was polarized, finding him too antagonistic and harsh for his age. Both of these actors found difficulties in employing different types of voices based on how Eren grows up across the narrative. In the anime adaptation of the series, Eren has been voiced by Yūki Kaji in Japanese and Bryce Papenbrook in English. Isayama created Eren with the idea of a character whose fears and dreams were relatable but often clashed with his own darkness, resulting into multiple changes to his characterization. He has also appeared in other related media including anime and video games. As the story progresses, Eren gains the power of becoming a Titan later identified as "Attack Titan" ( 進撃の巨人, Shingeki no Kyojin). In order to defeat the Titans, Eren enlists in the Military and joins the Survey Corps-an elite group of soldiers who fight Titans outside the walls and also study the physiology of Titans in order to know what they are fighting. Eren is a teenager who swears revenge on enormous man-eating humanoid creatures known as Titans, who have forced what remains of the human race to live in walled off cities and devoured his mother while destroying his home town in the Shiganshina district of Wall Maria. Had Eren talked Ymir around before Gabi was let loose with a massive rifle, he might've morphed into something more like Ymir Fritz's Founding Titan (but without aspects from the Female, Jaw, etc.Eren, as depicted in the Attack on Titan mangaĪttack on Titan chapter 1: "To You, 2,000 Years from Now" (2009)Īttack on Titan chapter 139: "Toward the Tree on That Hill" (2021)Įren Yeager ( Japanese: エレン・イェーガー, Hepburn: Eren Yēgā), also spelled Eren Jaeger (Turkish: Eren, "Saint" German: Jaeger/Jäger, "Hunter") is a fictional character and the protagonist of the manga series Attack on Titan created by Hajime Isayama. Eren has the same bony structure, but because his head was severed at the neck, his freaky Titan spine grows uncontrollably before connecting his torso and noggin, coming to form almost Eren's entire Founding Titan. The Founding Titan's defining trait is an insect-like rib cage emanating from the spine and wrapping itself around the body, which can be seen on Ymir Fritz's monster form. More important to the appearance of his final transformation, however, is Eren being beheaded by Gabi. Though Attack on Titan's Eren has the power of the Founder, his Titan cocktail isn't quite the same. Firstly, Ymir's Founder is a composite of every other Titan - the size of the Colossal, the claws of the Jaw, the shape of the Female, etc. Eren's Founding Titan body looks different for two reasons. Even so, Eren's Founding Titan looks nothing like Ymir when she was still crushing Marleyan soldiers like wannabe Centurions. As the only non-royal to meet Ymir in the Paths, Eren is the first person to ever evoke Ymir's inner desire for freedom, and she gladly hands him full control of the Founding Titan.Īttack on Titan has already shown how different incarnations of the same Titan-shifter can look completely dissimilar - Eren's Attack Titan vs. Ymir Fritz's humanity goes both ways, however, and Eren convinces her to trust him instead, tapping into the anger that comes from years of Fritz/Reiss servitude.

This meant Zeke could talk Ymir into dropping the vow of renouncement imposed upon the royal family by King Karl Fritz 100 years before Attack on Titan began. How did Eren transform, what powers does he now command, and why does he look like that? Attack on Titan refrains from showing Eren's full body in episode 80, but the full scope of his skeletal Founding Titan is revealed by the end of season 4 part 2. His decapitated head jolts back to life, then promptly begins growing into a massive, sprawling skeleton multiple times larger than even the massive Titans housed within Paradis Island's three Colossal Titan walls. In a dramatic final sequence, Attack on Titan shows Eren Titanizing one last time, marked by the same bigger-than-usual surge of lightning and energy that announced Ymir's transformation 2000 years prior.
