Attack on Titan, The Movie: Part 2/Movie and Manga Differences
The second of the Attack on Titan live action movies. The movie differs heavily from the manga, featuring many original plot points. There are so many, they won't fit on just one page.
Differences
- Like its predecessor, the movie takes place in the future, instead of the alternative reality in the manga.
- The movie also takes place in Japan instead of Germany, due to the movie being made for Japanese audiences.
- The Armored Titan exists in the movie, but it's appearance differs heavily from the manga. In the movie, it has longer, dirtier hair and black plated skin. In the manga, it has mostly skinless plated skin and short gray hair.
- It is revealed that, in the place of Reiner Braun, Shikishima is the Armored Titan in the films. Shikishima, like Reiner, is a member of the Survey Corps but, unlike Reiner, Shikishima is a captain in the Corps.
- Shikishima, Levi's replacement, is shown to know information about how the Titans first appeared. However, only one person knows this in the manga, besides the three antagonistic Shifters, the holder of the Coordinate.
- Shikishima also knows information about the Titans' true physiology, such as that they were once people. Levi has just discovered this information and has shown remorse towards it, compared to the indifferent Shikishima.
- According to the movie, Titans were created by the US government. So far, all we know is that the Titans were created mostly through serums.
- Eren is cornered by the Military Police Brigade in the movie, not the Garrison Regiment.
- Eren is apprehended by the head of a regiment in the movie, whereas in the manga, it is Kitts Woerman and Rico Brzenska, two high ranking members of the Garrison.
- In the movie, Eren is heavily restrained when he awakens, being bound and gagged. In the manga, this wasn't necessary, as he didn't have enough strength to stand on his own and therefore escape.
- In the movie, Eren is cornered by Kubal, the replacement for Nile Dok. While Nile has shown some fear towards Eren, such as at his trial, he hasn't tried to kill him. He actually supported Eren several times, such as in his fight against the Female Titan.
- Kubal, the Head of the MilItary Police Brigade, is the Colossal Titan in the movie, whereas in the manga, it is Bertolt Hoover. Bertolt was a member of the Survey Corps, unlike Kubal, although the military police did work hand in hand with the Survey Corps in the movie.
