The smash-hit anime Attack on Titan centers on a young protagonist's relentless fight against monstrous titans, driven by his motto: "Keep moving forward." In this episode, we dig into what fuels Eren Jaeger and his titular Titan form's obsessive determination to achieve freedom no matter the cost. From echoes of Nietzsche's Übermensch to the modern values of individual agency and liberation, we explore the symbolic, philosophical and psychological underpinnings of the Attack Titan while questioning its destructive ends. Does Eren propagate the oppressive cycles he strives to end? And does his defiance make space for new forms of positive connection? Through this shonen's mythic archetypes and moral ambiguities, we unpack the will to defy all obstacles and ask how forward motion can ultimately plant seeds of understanding.
