"Attack on Titan" is a hugely popular anime and comic. It's a dark fantasy depicting the battle between soldiers and man-eating "Titans." The anime will be relaunching in spring 2019! "Attack on Titan" features many fascinating characters. In this article, we'll be looking at Nanaba, a hidden gem from the series. Let's take a look.
Nanaba's Profile
First, let's introduce Nanaba's profile.
Name: Nanaba
Height: 172cm
Weight: 59kg
Birthday: June 30th
Age: ?
Hometown?
Affiliation: Scout Regiment, Mike's Squad
She has an androgynous appearance, and like Hange, her gender was unknown for a long time.
Many speculate that she is female, due to scenes in which her breasts appear to swell and the fact that her voice actress is Asami Shimoda.
She first appeared during the defeat of the Female Titan.
After escaping the Female Titan, Armin, Jean, and Reiner return to formation with Christa and reunite with the Scout Regiment. They then wait atop a giant tree, and Nanaba is the person standing next to Christa. Incidentally, Christa calls her "Nanaba-san."
With her handsome features, slender demeanor, and calm demeanor, she's actually a hidden favorite!
She's a very intelligent person, and despite the Scout Regiment's estimated 90% death rate within four years, she's managed to survive for over five years.
Achievements at Utgard Castle
When Titans suddenly appeared at Wall Rose, the Scout Regiment was conducting an investigation.
They decided to stay overnight at the abandoned Utgard Castle along the way, but were attacked by Titans in the middle of the night. Nanaba protected the 104th Training Corps and fought a life-or-death battle alongside Gelgar.
Despite the desperate situation, Nanaba fought until her final moments, refusing to give up.
The Final Scene
Nanaba's 3D Maneuvering Gear runs out of gas, putting her in dire straits. Surrounded by numerous Titans, she is torn apart and eaten.
Nanaba's final scene is actually original to the anime.
This scene, which only lasted about one frame in the original manga, was omitted in the anime, but new lines were added as her final throes.
Those lines were:
No, no, Dad, Dad, stop, stop, I won't do it again, I'm sorry.
It was a shocking scene.
Viewers were deeply shaken by this...!
"Attack on Titan" sometimes incorporates original elements from the anime, like Mikasa's pomegranate.
Nanaba's line also sparked a variety of speculation.
"Perhaps she was abused by her father and had a flashback to being eaten by a Titan," "Perhaps her father opposed her decision to join the Scout Regiment," etc. The team also gave considerable thought to the sudden appearance of "father," but it remains a mystery. It also seems to emphasize the cruelty of the story by showing the brutal deaths of her superiors, who had served in the Scout Regiment for many years and fought on the front lines. Mike Zacharias, another Scout Regiment officer, also died with a terrifying death cry, something that is hard to imagine given his usual calm and collected demeanor. You can really feel the horror of the soldiers being killed one after another.
Nanaba: Conclusion
That concludes our article on Nanaba!
Although she only appears a few times, she is a hugely popular character thanks to her appearance and strength!
The final scene was also very memorable, and many viewers were likely given goosebumps.
