Trivia

 * Shikishima was regarded as an effective replacement for Levi, who is not portrayed in the live-action adaptations. His title, "the Strongest Man", is very similar to Levi's, "Humanity's Strongest Soldier". He was also more or less the counterpart for Reiner Braun, as he is revealed to be a Titan shifter and the Armored Titan.
 * Although the revelation that Zeke, the warchief of the warriors, is Eren Yeager's older brother was not given until over a year after the release of the second film, the relationship could still lead Shikishima to being a replacement for Zeke as well.
 * In real life, Shikishima was a battleship of the Imperial Japanese Navy and the lead ship of the Shikishima class in the late 1890s. During the Battle of Tsushima in May 1905, she was second in the line of battle of the First Division, following Tōgō's flagship Mikasa. This could be a reference of his feelings towards her.
