Attack on TitanandTokyo Ghoul—both worlds are united by their exploration of dark and psychologically complex characters. Thus, the genius behind theTokyo Ghoulmanga, Sui Ishida, delivered his own take onAttack on Titan‘s protagonist, Eren Yeager. Ishida portrayed Eren in an exclusive piece of artwork that perfectly captured the tragic, and edgy essence that the character displays.

The artwork, which was shared on Ishida’s own social media account, is more than just a fan service. It gave tribute to one of the most complicated protagonists of modern manga. And this edgy take on Eren is whatAttack on Titanfans crave the most.
Sui Ishida’s Artwork of Eren Yeager
The stunning artwork of Eren Yeager, sharedby Sui Ishidaon X (formerly, Twitter), was like a bolt out of the blue withinAttack on TitanandTokyo Ghoulfandom. It was posted on the same day as the release ofAttack on Titan‘s final chapter, which emphasized the significance of the art even more.

The canvas features Eren in a terrifying pose, with an intense, and almost psychotic stare that fans have come to associate with his descent into villainy. He is seen gripping his titan-slaying blade, which shows a distorted reflection ofAttack Titan‘s face; adding a chilling sense of unease to the scene.
Moreover, a subtle yet powerful detail was added to the picture, which many might overlook—a bird’s reflection in Eren’s right eye. The red, bloodshot background further heightens the tension of the whole artwork.

These unique, haunting styles of art have always been Sui Ishida’s signature talent. But this artwork by him elevated the intensity to even more heights. His portrayal of Eren made the character seem like he could fit right into the ghoul-infested, morally grey world ofTokyo Ghoul.
Sui Ishida’s Eren is Exactly What Fans Needed
Sui Ishida’s seamless transition of Eren into his signatureTokyo Ghoulaesthetic, has become a buzzing topic within both fandoms. In Ishida’s artwork,Eren’s tragedyis almost magnified — he looks edgier, to the point that it looks unnecessary for some fans. But, the majority of them have different views on this.
Unnecessarily edgy

Everytime Ishida draws something it’s fucking goated like actually i’ve never seen him draw another manga n feel like it doesn’t still look good, it’s usually hard to make another character in ur own style and still make it look good but he always nails it
The bird in his eyes! Sensei with his awesome use of symbolisms in his artworks 🥺🥺🥺.I’m cryingggggg

This is absolutely incredible and the ultimate crossover. I respect and admire both of you very much. Thank you two for have written two stories that have change the life of many people, including mine.#ThankYouHajimeIsayamaand thank you, Ishida.
eren jaeger in sui ishida’s art style was all i ever wanted in life

Known for his own tragic antiheroKen Kaneki, Ishida seems to understand Eren’s character on a deeper level. Eren’s transformation from a hopeful freedom fighter to a morally ambiguous villain revealed just how far he was willing to go for his cause. Ishida’s rendition of Eren captures this very essence.
For manyAttack on Titanfans, Eren’s shift into full-fledged villainy was a hard pill to swallow. Sui Ishida’s edgy depiction of Eren helps fans confront that darkness head-on. The intensity that Ishida brings to Eren’s character is precisely what the fandom needs to accept his transformation.

Eren’s terrifying portrayal by Ishida, complete with the Titan scars, the ominous sword reflection, and the symbolic bird, provides fans with the visual closure they need to fully embrace Eren’s complex, tragic fate.
