User blog comment:San&Ashitaka/Character statistics/@comment-3118594-20131106171056

I noticed Eren's specific statistic, the one at the bottom that each character & Titan has......and Eren's is.......PASSION? When I saw that I was like "What?" and then I started laughing because I was thinking "This guy's not even Spanish!".....of course, if any of you have played GTA4, Red Dead Redemption, and LA Noire, you'd know what I'm talking about; if not, I'll drop the hint : There is a stereotype featured in at least these three games which touch upon the nature and intensity of Hispanics being a result of their "passion". In fact, GTA4 has a commercial for "Más Fuego", which is a "synthesized Latin testosterone energy-drink". How this correlates to Eren's passion? Well, I guess the one good thing is that Eren doesn't suddenly explode on Mikasa like "Shut up, pinche puta! *SLAP* I'll fawkin' keel you; I'm on edge, mang!" Also I think what they mean by Eren's "passion" is his determination to exterminate all the Titans from this world, among other things. As for being with Mikasa, Eren just doesn't like being babied; if anything it's just frustration.

Anyway.....yeah. I guess the fact that each character has his/her/its own unique statistic is partly why the guidebooks that mention these details shouldn't be taken seriously, not to mention that there are some inconsistencies with the current canon. If anything, though, my guess is that each character was given a unique statistic for shits & giggles; if it was something Mr. Hajime decided on, I see no problem with that. Though regarding the inconsistencies in the canon (when comparing the guidebooks to the story's progression so far), I don't think we're going to see fixes in them until the series is over; when the series is over, maybe Mr. Hajime will take some time to sort those details out.....but for now, I don't want the series to end so soon just yet.
