Attack on Titan: Before the Fall Discussion [Light Novel / Manga]
Title: Before the Fall [prequel to manga] Author: Ryo Suzukaze Illustration: Thores Shibamoto Manga Adaptation: Satoshi Shiki Before the Fall is a Light Novel series that is written by Ryō Suzukaze and illustrated by Thores Shibamoto. It began serializing on December 2011. It is published by Kodansha and thus far three volume are in print. An insert included in the second Blu-ray Disc volume of Attack on Titan revealed that Satoshi Shiki will draw the Attack on Titan: Before the Fall spinoff manga which is adapting Ryō Suzukaze's light novel series. The series will premiere in Kodansha's Monthly Shōnen Sirius magazine's October issue on August 26. This story takes place 70 years before the manga story starts. Here is a brief synopsis in the following: A baby is found crying in a mass of Titan vomit, amidst the dead titan flames. The child is known as "The Child of Titans", and is essentially hated by the people inside the walls. He also seems to grow unnaturally fast. Named Kyukuro, he parts himself from his past/upbringing and gambles on the fate of humanity by enlisting in the scouting legion. |

I think they are going to also adopt the first light novel about the creation of he 3 d Maneuver gear first. And chapter zero was interesting where it show a religious person praying at a titan? But then he or she gotten eaten. I really hope this manga will shred some light on the government and religious group in snk world.

Theory: The Wallists were originally Titan worshipers. Since there are Titans in the walls they changed their doctrine revering the walls. Only the Wallist highers up knews this in Eren's time as the Kingdom put heaving control on information destroying books that describe the outside world and the fact Titans were humans.

That Titan looks like a pokemon, Grimer. Probably one of the people inside the wall unconsciously transformed into a titan due to an unknown reason. Humans have a tendency to turn into even if they don't wish to. Probably, those who live on the outside world are more peaceful and civilized than those people who are in isolation. Titans are still humans anyway.

Same set of Spoiler Rule. Novel Readers for BtF can use clearly marked spoiler tag out of courtesy for the BtF Manga readers. Anime watchers should stay away from here if they don't want to be spoiled. Manga discussion not related to BtF need to go to the Manga thread. If the discussion on BtF calls for reference from the manga, then make sure to use clearly marked spoiler tags before divulging such information. In a nutshell, just use common sense. That's all.

Also Satoshi Shiki, is technically both the Author and Artist of the Manga adaptation, since he's the one drafting it from the novel. So it would be more correct if OP can change his post to what's listed below, since it's what the promotion poster says too; Quote:

So i read the first chapter. Quite gruesome and freaky. The artwork is superb, it feels a little weird actually when i compare it to the original work... its so different *laughs* The original AoT has a lot of gore in it but somehow this feels a lot worse... more seinen.
There is just one thing i dont understand. Why would Isayama allow all these people to have their way with his work? Several spin-off manga, light novels... arent these twisting the original AoT world? |

I can't help but think that the Titan cult is really the Wallist cult in the early days.
Though I think if the government heard what happened they'd purge of Titan worshipers as an appropriate response. As they are too dangerous and too dumb to live. As for the kid born from his crazy mother well he doesn't deserve this treatment as he shouldn't be held accountable for his mother's crimes. But society will view him as freak, a survivor of a Titan swallowing his mother, and the fact his mother was responsible for a lot of deaths. |
