Amputee-kun is totally Eren
So I wanna add a couple more thoughts on the whole amputee-kun thingy, and by now everyone in the fandom has at least considered him to be Eren. The hair and facial structure, the thematic implications of Falco of all people talking to him, the fact that his leg could be him holding back his healing powers etc.
I wanna add some additional comparisons to the whole deal, that could be further indicative of his identity, and for that, let’s take another look at Attack on Titan Zero
For those who don’t know, that was the original 2006 oneshot entitled SnK that Isa had drawn…the first time he put his attack on titan idea on paper, so to speak. The oneshot features many similarities to what we know of SnK today…titans eat humans, humans can turn into titans, humanities memories were wiped out and the survivors of the titan appearance live in cities secluded behind giant trees.
And THIS is our protagonist, Private Mukamura
I mean…I don’t need to point it out, right? If amputee-kun is indeed Eren, he would now officially share a hairstyle with the original SnK protagonist…that’d be appropriate for at least the final arc, right?
But there’re more similarities between both protags! They share their hatred for the titans, are considered humanities last hope, and inspire courage in others! Our Eren is very much at least in part inspired by his 2006 counterpart.
There’s also the fact that both of them are titan shifters, and both of them turn into the one and only Shingeki no Kyojin, the Attack Titan
He’s looked fresh since 2006 lmfao. The titan designs are pretty identical, and Mukamura’s hair equals his titan form entirely–Eren’s human hair hasn’t been too far off, but still hasn’t reached titan length….until now, as amputee-kun’s hair matches the rogue titan hair pretty much perfectly. Coincidence? Hell no.
Last but not least, some of the in-story developments match amputee-kun’s situation quite well^^
The local military branch, to which he had transferred only a mere month ago, suspects him of being a titan infiltrator who came from outside. Granted, he really is a titan, though not an enemy of humanity, but that’s besides the point. If amputee-kun is Eren, we’d have this exact situation going on right now: a titan infiltrator from outside has invaded their military, but he is in fact the protagonist.
I know Zero isn’t overly indicative of the whole story, there’s plenty of differences between the main series and this, but we’re approaching the final arc now, a thing that Isa has had at least partially planned since the very beginning of the story, and we’re starting to pick up these similarities. The protag having the same long hair as the series’ titular titan is an idea Isa has had for over 11 years from the looks of it, giving us that for the final arc seems more than appropriate, doesn’t it? Mukamura and Eren are so similar already, that’s really just the final gap to bridge. And as mentioned above, the setting is already quite familiar.
This, to me at least, reinforces my belief that amputee-kun is really Eren, and oh boi, am I so incredibly excited to see where this goes.
