One Pieceis riddled with many mysteries and mind-blowing revelations. There are many memorable twists throughout the series, but they would sadly pale in comparison toAttack on Titan. Not to discredit the intrigue ofOne Piece, but Hajime Isayama has perfected the art of casually surprising fans, leaving them in a limbo as to what to believe.
At every turn, the narrative ofAttack on Titanmeets fans with a new revelation that changes their perception of theAOTworld. What makes the plot twists in the series so much better than other shonen series is how they impact the story. Their whole purpose isn’t short-lived shock value, but they play a role in the grand scheme of things.
Hajime Isayama’s execution of plot twists inAttack on Titanis better thanOne Piece
One Piece has many great twists that were unpredictable and shocking. The reveal of Ace’s parentage during Marineford or Raizo’s presence at Zou are some of the memorable twists that still feel fresh. Their execution was brilliant and fulfilled the purpose. While the plot twists inOne Pieceare undoubtedly very well done, they don’t have a lasting impact.
Eiichiro Odatakes time to set up the mysteries and the build-up for every event is intense. For how much effort goes into the set-up, the pay-off can feel lackluster. In comparison,Hajime Isayama‘s plot twists broaden our vision, presenting us with a new reality every time. The plot twists inAttack on Titanmake us question our pre-existing knowledge and revisit the series to look for any signs or hints we missed on the way.
Attack on Titan Fans Can Never Forget the Colossal Titan-Sized Plot Hole That Took Hajime Isayama Years to Solve
From the early seasons to the final ones, we experience many twists that change our perception of the central characters. Except for Eren’s revelation at the end, there have been many twists in the series that instantly explain why Isayama’s exception of plot twists is unrivaled, andthis Reddit commentperfectly puts the appeal into words.
Some of the best plot twists fromAttack on Titan
The best and one of the earliest twists in the series was the disclosure of the Colossal and Armored Titan’s true identity. For how they destroyed the landscapes of Shiganshina, Reiner was surprisingly unbothered, saying it to Eren as if he was a part of the plan all along. Moreover, Reiner was arguably the most liked member of the training corps at that point, which made this ‘casual’ reveal all the more surprising.

The truth that was hidden in the basement for years completely changed our idea of theAOTworld. There was a world beyond the wall where people didn’t live in fear of the Titans was an unimaginable reality up until that point. While both of these developments were unexpected to say the least, nothing matches Eren’s manipulation.
With a few scenes, he turned from a victim to the ultimate puppeteer. He was the one running the show all along. And that’s not all, he was also trapped in a cycle where he didn’t have any better choices. Isayama truly dedicated to the task of unnerving his fans, and safe to say he succeeded!
