Sasha Blouse or more commonly known as the potato girl. Sasha was originally from
a Southern village within Wall Rose. She chooses to speak very formally to
disguise her Kyushu accent. Sasha was in the top ten graduating Scouts coming in
at number nine. At that time the potato girl was five feet six inches or 168
centimeters and she weighed 121 pounds or 55 kilograms. Since that time Sasha
has actually been promoted to becoming a member of the Levi Squad. Sasha
actually it's pretty similar to Armin when it comes to killing Titans.
She's never directly killed one. Instead her first kill was another soldier, it
was was an arrow too! So far in the story Sasha hasn't gotten any Titan abilities
yet but a lot of people do want her to become the ultimate potato Titan!
You were able to meet Sasha all the way back in the first draft of the Attack on
Titan. In this version you'll quickly notice a difference. Sasha got the most
drastic change from the original top 10 scouts. Isayama ended up going with
the ponytail for her final design, but what was more interesting is what
happened behind the scenes. Before all of this Isayama has mentioned how Sasha
was one of the last characters created. Originally she never existed
instead. It was more like Ymir and Sasha were the same character. Isayama
later decided that he didn't want Ymir to remain in the top 10 scouts. An empty
slot was left so Sasha's character was created to fill a spot!
The infamous potato girl Sasha is voiced by Yuu Kobayashi. Here's a bit of her
work that you might know! The ninja Ayama from Gintama. The 69 dude from Bleach.
Satoshi from the When They Cry Series. Matabei from Samurai Girls. Yuu from Is
This a Zombie of the Dead? Kuroko from Monster Musume.
Setsuna from Negima.Sigui from the Queen's Blade series. That lovable
redhead Konatsu from Shouwa Genroku. Rio from Sound of the Sky. Here's a big
one! Ruka from Steins Gate, pretty nice! and Kathy from that new Yugioh series! As
for non anime roles, she's voiced Lucina from the Fire Emblem series. This
includes her from Super Smash Brothers Wii U!
You got teased at Mikasa and Annie going at it Attack on Titan season two. What you
didn't get to see what was going on behind the scenes.
Attack on Titan Wings of counter-attack expands on details about this. It
includes something involving your favorite potato girl Sasha. Mikasa and Annie's
fight was actually reschedule for the next day. Mikasa decided to fight at
an empty stomach so Sasha being who she is, ended up beating Mikasa's breakfast.
Later that day halfway through the match, Sasha collapsed after her stomach
started hurting. She was quickly taken to the doctor. Apparently someone had
tainted Mikasa's meal so she would lose the match. The potato girl
unknowingly saved her! It's pretty awesome and this wouldn't be the last
time that she saved Mikasa's booty!
The thing that Sasha's so famous for is her appetite. Food has been Sasha's main
motivating factor in her life. She's jokingly said in the past that she wants
to marry someone who could feed her well. She also wants to create a world where
everyone could eat all they want, hmm. Good things she's not a Titan! And
actually the only time that Sasha hasn't been hungry was after she killed someone
in the uprising arc. Perhaps food was one of her motivating factors for becoming a
soldier. She mentioned how she thought she could eat all she wanted once she
became a soldier. Well that's not entirely wrong, if only she was in the
military police.
How much do you love Sasha? Since you're watching this I bet that you just love
this potato girl! Sasha's huge popularity worldwide was super unexpected. In the
first popularity poll, Sasha managed to come in fourth place overall, which is
pretty damn good! It was just under Mikasa by the way. Isayama has
mentioned how he's been surprised as the amount of love for her. Her popularity
might be the reason that her role got expanded in Attack on Titan season 2,
more on this later. Sasha also got blessed was more
screentime in Attack on Titan Junior High series, both in the manga and anime
versions. I can't wait to see what extra little bit they had for her an Attack on
Titan season 3, oh and season 4 too!
Delving more into Sasha's creation Isayama recently revealed that
Sasha's name came from the actor comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. He mentioned
how he always thought of Sasha as a comedian character so Sasha started with
the basis of being funny. Isayama later added her appetite too.
Another origin for Sasha's name is actually from the Lotte chocolate called
"Sasha". Since this chocolate shares the same name as her he came up with the
idea that Sasha special trait would be a fool lover. It's really no surprise that
Sasha has often been used to promote Attack on Titan food tie-ins. Lastly Isayama
has talked about a certain food theory related to her origins. The theory
goes something like this, whenever good people eat food they look like they're
fully enjoying their meal. In other words, being the person that she is
Sasha fully embodies this.
The Sasha you know has always had that appetite but she did change a little
going from the manga to anime series. In the Attack on Titan anime Sasha has been
made to look more clumsy. A good example that's happened during the female Titan
arc. There was this extra scene added where she dropped that signal flare. The
anime version also interestingly cut down one of Sasha's scenes. You saw how
Historia and Ymir rescued her from starving. After the scene of Mikasa
teasing Sasha with that extra piece of bread, Ymir comes to get her, Ymir
make sure to remind Sasha about the debt she owes them.
Perhaps the most drastic changes for Sasha happened in attack on Titan season
2. At least part of this is very likely due to her insane popularity. Sasha was
given the additional role of being that messenger girl. You saw this twice. Once
when she was talking to Commander Pixis. The second time Sasha was delivering
that important message to Hange. This allowed you to see Sasha back at it with
the potatoes. The potato girl was also not present in the finale of this arc in
the manga. You get to see her on top of the Armored Titan. Along with everyone
else but in the manga version of the scene she's nowhere to be seen.
Originally Sasha's role in the second season arc only lasted up until episode
2. Sasha then doesn't appear again in the manga until the following arc, what would
be season 3. And she makes a fun return! She's right back at swiping and eating
some bread too!
You've been hearing about Sasha's popularity and all that extra screen
time that she's gotten, although this almost never happened!
Sasha was originally made to serve as a placeholder Scout in the top ten. You
know, since Ymir got bumped off. Isayama has mentioned how he creates
characters whose purpose in the story is to die. Sasha seems to fit that
description. Tn a past interview the Attack on Titan editor talked about how
Sasha was planned to die in volume 9. This would have been during the events
of season 2 episode 2. Sasha would have very likely saved that girl but instead
gotten crushed by that Titan that grabbed her. So what ended up saving her?
It turns out that it wasn't Titan blood but tears. The editor mentioned how
he felt like crying when he first looked at the storyboard for this chapter. He
was too embarrassed in front of Isayama so he went to the bathroom to cry. Keep
in mind this is him telling this story. I'm not sure how much of this is meant
jokingly but hey this little demonstration ended up saving Sasha! The
potato girl lived on to munch on another day! Hey guys thanks for watching! Please
be sure give this a colossal thumbs up and subscribe! Especially if you LOVE the
potato girl Sasha! Here's your question of the day, if Sasha was around in modern
times which food do you think Sasha will love the most? And also what do you think
her role will be in the future? By the way do leave your pick down below for a
character you want to see you next time! If you want more stuff to watch I
suggest looking at my past video on Annie and Mikasa and I'll see you guys later!
