Isayama Featured in Today’s Yomiuri Shimbun; Author of Article States, “It seems [SnK] will end in one or two years.”

In today’s Japanese national newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun, Isayama shared details about the manga series, and the author of this feature states that it seems the series will “end in one or two years” (Possibly through information gathered from the interview itself).

Additional parts of the interview below: (Translation by @suniuz; Edited by @fuku-shuu; Please credit if used)

In regards to the series, Isayama thought about “what is fear.” “At first, I drew a titan made of rocks all over his body, but then all of a sudden I thought about an exhibition I visited as an elementary school student.”

There was an exhibition in 1998 in Fukuoka, near his hometown of Oita - it exhibited dead bodies being chemically treated as medical specimen (Western readers might know this as Body Worlds). All in all, there was this “boom” of fascination with dead bodies in the late 90s.

“The specimen were really scary. The Colossal titan was born out of my memories of that experience. To me, maybe the Colossal Titan possesses the image of ‘death.’”

Mindless titans were inspired by drunk customers at the internet cafe where he had a part time job (We know this from Isayama’s past interviews)

There is a sense of sadness in the eyes of the Colossal Titan. This is because Isayama doesn’t want to make it merely a “commercial product” that scares people. “Even though titans symbolize violence and hatred at the beginning, I hope once people read it over again, they can see something different.”

When discussing the young protagonist who can turn into a titan, people often assume the idea is associated with Tezuka Osamu’s “Big X,“ But In fact Isayama never has never read that work. Rather, he was influenced by the dissection scenes from the medical surgeries in “Black Jack.”

“People often ask me what the titans symbolize, but I don’t intend for them to be a satire of reality. I want to introduce a perspective to think about ‘what is justice’ in a relative way.”

“My work entails depiction of violence, so perhaps it will hurt some readers. But even so, I still created this work from my gut, thinking ‘I want to read a manga like this one.’ It is unlikely that I can be a ‘nice person’ at the end.”
