Attack on Titan’s popularity is still on the rise even after the anime ended almost a couple of months ago. Attack on Titan finale premiered on November 19, 2023, and the fans got to experience an epic showdown between the Titans and the Alliance. It was at the very end that the fans got to know that it was Eren Jaeger’s plan all along to sacrifice himself and secure a better future for his friends.
One of the interesting things about the Attack on Titan finale was that after the Rumbling was initiated by Eren, with Ymir’s help, the fans got to see all the Titans that had ever lived. The nine main Titans from every generation were summoned to help the Rumbling. But the one that caught everyone’s attention was the Okapi Titan due to its bizarre features.
Okapi Titan’s Details and Whereabouts
The Okapi Titan is one of the most bizarre-looking yet one of the fastest Titans ever. As the name suggests, the Okapi Titan resembles Okapi, or the forest giraffe, which is native to the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Okapi Titan stands on all fours like an Okapi and is hardly four meters tall. One of the greatest abilities of the Okapi Titan is his speed. Even though it runs on its four limbs, it is pretty fast and stealthy.
The Titan has an elongated triangular face with long ears, a pair of small horns, and black eyes on either side of the face. Not much is known about the Okapi Titan as to how its Titan shifter managed to change into such a bizarre-looking Titan. But it is believed that it is another form of the Beast Titan. It may happen so that the Beast Titan may take the shape of different animals for different Titan shifters. In Zeke’s case, it resembled an Orangutan.
Apart from that, there is also another theory that states that the Okapi Titan was initially a Cart Titan and also got Beast Titan’s power through Spinal Fluid transfusion or by eating another Titan shifter, which is the Beast Titan in this case. The Okapi Titan is quite powerful compared to other Titans in Attack on Titan.
More on Attack on Titan’s Okapi Titan
Due to Okapi Titans’ mastery over speed and stealth, Ymir Fritz ordered it to kidnap Armin Arlert. Armin Arlert held the power of the Colossal Titan, which could pose a threat to the Founding Titan and the Rumbling. The kidnapping of Armin Arlert distracted the Alliance and caused Mikasa Ackerman to go after the Okapi Titan.

Mikasa was no match for the Titan’s speed but finally managed to save Armin after Gabi Braun shot Okapi Titan’s nape while riding on Falco Grice’s Flying Jaw Titan. Even so, the Okapi Titan was not ready to give up and in a last-ditch effort used his elongated tongue to violently injure Armin. The introduction of the Okapi Titan was innovative in Attack on Titan’s course.
Even though its background is not clear, it can be understood that it was a form of the Beast Titan, one of the Nine Titans. With whatever screen time the Okapi Titan got, it was enough to earn it praise. It shows that the history of the Titans was more vivid than one can expect. Unfortunately, Attack on Titan has ended, and it will not be possible to know it unless Attack on Titan creator, Hajime Isayama, has something up his sleeves.
