Hajime Isamaya, the creator of the popular anime and manga seriesAttack on Titan, shared his insight into something that went against what many wanted to happen. It caught everyone off guard as the twisted storytelling offered something very different from what was expected. It also got everyone talking about his artistic choices and where the story is headed in this hugely influential anime.

A key moment has been building up for quite a while, as many thought the series would show a strong bond between the two main characters. However, the creator made a twist by totally blowing up everyone’s expectations. It left many with a mixed feeling about the extra complexity of the plot scene inAttack on Titan.
The Plot Twist That Could Have Changed Everything
An interview shared on Twitter (now X) viaComicbookrevealed that Hajime Isamiya had originally planned forErenandMikasato share a kiss in Chapter 50 of the manga. This scene, which fans were super excited about – especially during that emotional scarf scene – had everyone buzzing. However, Isayama felt way too embarrassed to draw that kiss. Plus, he wasn’t sure how to show the feelings that would come after such a big moment.
This peek into his feelings shows us that even famous artists can deal with self-doubt sometimes. It’s really tough to miss a chance that makes fans wonder how things could have turned out differently. If Mikasa and Eren had kissed at that point, their bond might have been stronger. It could even have put Eren on a different path or helped Mikasa play a bigger role in his choices.

Hajime Isayama’s original choice could have been more mesmerizing for the viewers. Eren decisions would have been different if Mikasa had kissed him during that emotional moment. Mikasa felt like sharing everything that was building up inside her as she thought it was her last chance to express herself. But Isamaya’s decision which he regretted later, brought a more complex relationship between them.

Knowing that tender moment was so close yet never happened makes their relationship even more heartbreaking. Isayamaregrets his decisionnot to make Eren and Mikasa’s relationship more intimate during the initial plot, leading to the ending scene being more emotional and at the same time saddening to watch.
The kiss happens right after she severed Eren’s head during the climactic battle, with a shocking yet emotional scene. It really highlighted their bond and relationship. The delay in the kiss between them made the connection more impactful to the audience. Isayama ultimately fulfilled the original opportunity of this intimate moment that was overlooked in chapter 50 of the manga in the finale.
