Attack on Titan vs. Solo Leveling: A Comparison of Two Iconic Anime

Attack on Titan and Solo Leveling are two anime series with entirely different storylines, yet they share a common thread that has captured the attention of fans. That thread is the striking resemblance between the Titans and the abilities of the protagonist, particularly Eren Yeager from Attack on Titan.
In the first episode of Attack on Titan, viewers witness Eren’s mother being devoured by an unknown Titan. This Titan is a terrifying creature that looms over humanity. In contrast, the protagonist of Solo Leveling, Sung Jin-Woo, is an E-Rank hunter who faces overwhelming fear and horror in his quest to survive and grow stronger.
Anyone who has watched Attack on Titan would undoubtedly agree that the Titan’s appearance bears an uncanny resemblance to that of the Titans in the series. This similarity has sparked extensive discussions across various social media platforms.
Even more astonishing is how, in several scenes, Sung Jin-Woo and Eren exhibit similar expressions. Both characters share a look of anguish when witnessing the deaths of their loved ones. While one is devastated by the loss of friends in a perilous battle, the other mourns for his family and mother.
We have seen how Eren rises to power after a fateful encounter with a Titan, but now we are also witnessing Sung Jin-Woo’s journey in the anime Solo Leveling.
