I see a lot of parallels with war hawks in modern Japan
When starting I thought this was a basix allegory for oppression and the eldians were similar to Jewish people. By the end it’s pretty clear that this it all just seems like an allegory for Japanese people through the minds of a conservative war hawk. The eldians past atrocities are ww2. The kings will of pacifism is article 3. Titans are an allegory for some innate quality that makes Japanese people better than everyone else. I find it funny that even tho Isayama creates a world where at least the lies of conservative war hawks are true, the mindset still fails horribly. Like okay let’s say everything they say it true, what are you gonna do kill everybody? Yes? Oh okay well that sucks.
Do people in the community think isayama is making fun of or supporting the warhawk mindset? I’ve always wondered this since finishing the show.
