Attack on Titans Darkest Twist Gets New Life in Hunters Guild Manga

Warning: contains major spoilers for Attack on Titan and The Hunters Guild: Red Hood

The character Velou from the manga called The Hunters Guild: Red Hood appears to be the victim of a deceptive plot to compel him to join the series’ eponymous group of elite hunters much like how Eren Yeager may have been led to join the Scout Regiment in Attack On Titan.

One of Attack On Titan’s darkest twists includes the possibility that Eren Yeager from the future took advantage of the Founding Titan’s ability to control others of its kind through his connection with a channel called the Paths to force the Smiling Titan to eat his own mother so his past self could witness it. The idea is that future Eren wanted to ensure that his past self would join the Scout Regiment to hunt Titans and eventually become the man he would become later on. Seeing a Titan kill his mother would undoubtedly make Eren want to slay all Titans.

In contrast, The Hunters Guild: Red Hood gives its own spin to this dark twist early on in the story at chapter seven instead of the very end like in Attack On Titan. The manga introduces Velou as the citizen of a small hamlet whose entire family had been devoured by werewolves. The hamlet’s mayor takes the boy under his care, which instills a profound sense of loyalty in him to the mayor and, in turn, the mayor’s hamlet. A hunter named Grimm from the series’ elite eponymous guild later arrives to save the hamlet from rampaging werewolves, and when she invites Velou to become a hunter, he initially refuses because he is devoted to protecting the mayor and his people.

But the mission to save the hamlet ends in utter failure. The werewolves ostensibly devour the mayor, and the entire hamlet is destroyed. With his father figure supposedly dead and no hamlet left to protect, Velou reluctantly accepts Grimm’s original offer to join the Hunters Guild. But in chapter seven, as Velou participates in the guild’s grisly three-month exam to become a hunter, the mayor is shown to be very much alive and has been following Velou as he progresses towards becoming a hunter. In fact, a conversation between the supposed dead man and his two companions suggests that they have been actively working to set the stage for Velou to become a hunter because, for whatever reason, everything is ostensibly riding on his success.

Both Attack On Titan and The Hunters Guild use death as a powerful motivator to ignite a burning desire in each of their respective protagonists to seek vengeance and become the hero of their world. Of course, only Attack On Titan has an actual martyr while The Hunters Guild: Red Hood’s doesn’t. Even though Attack On Titan introduces this development as conjecture, there are many troubling factors that seem to confirm it. For example, Titans are instinctively drawn to eat Titan Shifters, but the Smiling Titan ignores a Titan Shifter to eat Eren’s mother. So another force must have compelled the Titan to disregard its base instinct. Regardless, each manga employs deception to set its critical events in motion. Velou is led to believe that his loved one was killed when he’s very much alive. And Eren thinks that the Smiling Titan devoured his mother randomly when he may have actually sent the Titan himself in the future to perform the deed so he could witness her death in the past.
