Attack on Titan is one of the most revolutionary franchises to be ever written into existence by none other than Hajime Isayama. But many might not know how the creator himself is a huge fan of two other series that he has even gone to lengths to pay homage to in his own works.

Revealing in the Anime NYC Panel back in 2022, Hajime Isayama mentioned how two of the many characters in his series are based on the famous Breaking Bad as well as the Game of Thrones series.

Both Falco and Gabi Braun have been significant characters in the series, with each of them serving their own purpose till the very end. It is quite surprising to learn how these characters would be based upon others such as Pinkman and Stark, but it all makes sense at one point.

Surprisingly it is not only Falco who has been used to pay homage to the Breaking Bad series, as a titan resembling Saul, the infamous lawyer of Walter White and the main character of the Better Call Saul Series, soon featured after Eren started the Rumbling.

There is no doubt that Attack on Titan stands as a staple in the anime community being one of the largest anime franchises in the world.

While the series might have ended, readers and watchers alike still scour the published material often in order to catch any hidden details the author might have hidden, something which he is notoriously known for doing.

Attack on Titan is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
