the almighty colossal Titan also known as Bertholdt Hoover and the colossal! Happy
birthday to this guy. It's his birthday today December 30th. All the way back in
attack on Titan season 1 this guy was 16. During his time in the survey Corps
Berto it was 6 feet 4 inches or 192 centimeters.
Oh and he was a big boy weighing almost 180 pound or 81 kilograms. Naturally it
wasn't a surprise that a warrior graduated in the top 10 Scouts third
place. Just looking back at it now funny how the Titans took all the top spots
but of course he wasn't team Survey Corps but officially in team Marley
nation. Bertholdt was secretly the Colossal Titan also known as the god of
destruction that other big boy. By the way since I know you're gonna want one
Bertholdt actually has an official body pillow so you could have this big guy in
your bed and don't lie! I know you want one.
Getting an indepth look at Bertholdt let's look at the voice actor behind this guy.
He's voiced Tomohisha Hishizume and just being completely
honest this guy doesn't have too much going for him with anime.
there's Doberman from Digimon Xros wars. Delico from Gangsta. Hikaru
from all out. Thien from the steroids Roach series terraformers. A
random policeman from Dragon Ball Kai and of course his most known character
Bert from attack on Titan that includes the junior high series and the attack on
Titan games.
Let's go ahead and talk about Bertholdt interesting sleeping style. Could this be
related to his nightmares and him feeling guilty? It actually turns out
that Isayama drew him sleeping in the hangedman position quite the clever
little hint and actually Isayama has been asked about this directly. Is
Bertholdt's sleeping problems related to Reiner becoming a soldier? Isayama says
that he thinks they're related bad events caused people to have nightmares
just like in Vina saga. On top of this there's actually something more
interesting regarding this and one of the character interviews. Horse boy asked
him directly if he was having any nightmares due to sleeping in this unique
position. Bertholdt at the time lied and claiming that
he didn't recall what he dreamt of however later that night he dreamt of
himself as a bird flapping in the sky. He felt really great she's being liberated
from the chains and restrictions on himself but all of a sudden he's on this
dark figure on the ground with the bow. It yelled at him "you don't have any
right to cherish that freedom". In responsible Bertholdt pleaded not to be shot
at. Unfortunately his crying was useless. An arrow pierced his chest causing him a
crash headfirst into the ground. This time he had Marco, Jean and even Reiner
asking about his sleeping position. This latest one was pretty weird almost how
stiff he was pinned down. Bertholdt only claimed he had a regular dream with
this big fake smile on his face.
Getting into the deeper inspiration for the Colossal Titan
but first the human counterpart. Isayama has actually revealed that Bertholdt
was they only human he created after the creation of his Titan shifter. That's
right you see I'm initially first truly colossal Titan. he then thought to
himself what kind of character would come out of this colossal Titan was in
reality this somewhat weak and docile human deep inside? The outcome this tall
and rather slender Bertholdt. Throughout the series Bertos Bertholdt actually admitted
not having this strong will or motivation for much of anything but that
actually does sound like the perfect candidate to be controlled although
since then in a series Reiner has really encouraged him to be more proactive.
Bertholdt later makes a crystal clear decision and declaration when
confronting his enemies but going back to his design here's a fun note he
actually got made slightly tanner in the anime. Just go ahead and take a look at
the official colored art and some covers to wonder what was the reason for that
change!
Now for the actual inspiration for the god of destruction the colossal titan.
Isayama revealed that he' saw the Colossal Titan as the god of the attack on
titan world. He meant that he was drawn to resemble this godlike being. Isayama
further mentioned how the colossal titan was constantly redesigned over and
over. The Attack on Titan rough-draft actually gives you a glimpse into this.
It took quite a while until Isayama was satisfied. He was really trying to put
all he had on this beast. It was meant to be super important as the iconic mascot
for the attack on titan series and i just gotta say definitely a colossal hit
with that! Perhaps the following is most telling. in attack on titan the
people who choose to go inside the walls are people who choose the freedom of
hell. they chose to cast aside their welfare
for the uncontrolled freedom. Then look back to their enemies the Titans and
especially the Colossal Titan stands above all of them as if they were slaves.
In attack on titan in season two you found a little bit more about Bertholdt
which was otherwise this character you might have previously disregarded as a
random background character. I'm gonna be honest and say that kind of it could
at me for the first season. One of the reveals or hints here was his romantic
interest in Annie. oh yes he has a thing for blondes! I mean this guy was even
totally shocked than cursing at Armin which was after he found about Annie
supposed fate involving her getting continuously tortured . Oh so gullible!
turns out that his little crush with the blonde has been going on quite a while
which really goes back to before they were even scout trainees. at the time
they were discussing their so-called plan to get close with the royal family.
Annie brought up the right idea of her becoming a female servant employed by a
noble family. Annie would then use her female charm to gain some intel
although Annie quickly dropped the idea claiming that she didn't have any type
of that female charm. At this Bertholdt quickly shot that down he definitely
found Annie charming even if she thought otherwise and by the way don't forget
about the bonus little scenes in attack on Titan junior high especially the ones
at the festival. Looking back at the events now that was definitely say I'm a
foreshadowing a little bit!
Now getting a deeper look at the Colossal Titan or should I say in the god of
destruction which is what is known by in his hometown. The colossal Titan of
course is this big boys super huge at 60 meters this thing could cause a lot of
damage just by moving it's literally a walking tank or walking meat man. In
attack on Titan in season two you saw this guy use this partial transformation
on top of the wall. I'm not sure how big that was although you could bet that
definitely used a lot less energy. I the Colossal TItan full size it hasn't yet
been confirmed whether this guy could get hard although you definitely know
that the wall colossal Titans had to crystallize themselves to actually be in
that position. Either way when you have little pesky scout flies trying to kill
you the colossal Titan could resort to its steam defense. In the manga the closet
Titan has been shown to just set things up blaze just by walking near them oh
yes gotta make everything match its color but let's actually get to the
colossal Titan secret weapon which is the colossal Titan nuke. You actually got
a taste of this and the second attack on Titan season opening. Upon transforming
the Colossal Titan just outs down a huge amount of energy destroying
everything in this radius. Unfortunately for this monster Titan it in slow which
is something that Eren noticed and thankfully reported back in season one.
Going back into attack on titan season one you saw Bertholdt and Reiner talking
about their past hometown being destroyed by Titans. All of a sudden in
one night the truth of the matter is that that wasn't just some random story
they made up. In attack on Titan episode 1 he smashed the wall as a colossal
Titan then all the Warriors snuck in. For a good while they were all hiding as
refugees in the wall camps. During that time the Warriors met this old guy from
this remote village unfortunately for him his area didn't get inform about the
incoming Titan attack until it was way too late. I mean the freaking Titans were
at his window by the time he noticed. sound familiar?
interestingly he also claimed he didn't know what happened next. The unfortunate
part was that he left his three kids behind. the following day they then found
out that this old gentleman hung himself.
luckily for the warriors this guy was only survivor from that remote village.
Now recall all those nightmares. Bertholdt later revealed that one of his
dreams he constantly dreamt of was the image of that older man in the tree. one
of the things he wondered was why he told some kids about his tale before
logging off.
Bertholdt is perhaps the most powerful Titan definitely in the top three but how in
the world did he get picked for this Titan mantle? Naturally Bertholdt was
part of the warrior program. he actually earned his place in the warrior program
as a marksman. He excessed at using a rifle this. naturally extended to his
ability to shut himself off including carrying orders without hesitation.
interestingly Isayama has further revealed things about his father and
family. his Papa's illness was a huge motivation for him to become a warrior.
this would enable his family to get this higher level of care that was not
normally possible for them. There's only a question about whether this is gonna
get expanded on. when asked about this Isayama only mention that he hadn't
thought too much about this but there may be a time where his family and past
gets more fleshed down.
Now getting into a Colossal spoiler for this God of destruction in the upcoming
season. the Warriors fought Eren and the Survey Corps back where the colossal Titan
kicked off the attack on Titan story. ultimately led to the climax of the duo
Eren and Armin taking on the Colossal Titan solo. Armin was the one that ended
up being bait to get the Colossal Titans attention which really led to armin
becoming this tasty steamed bun in the process.
meanwhile the distracted colossal titan didn't realize Eren sneaking up to his
neck using the 3d maneuver gear. that's right ultimately in the Colossal Titan was
taken down by Eren sweet sweet revenge! which was really similar to how Eren
was gonna take him out back in season 1 that was when the colossal Titan smash
wall rose. however despite the Colossal Titan being defeated technically Bertholdt
was still alive just a couple of missing limbs no biggie.
the actual finale for this guy came when the barbecued armin got titan ized
which then feasted on this squishy human in other words he got taken out in a
similar way to how marco died. talk about harsh karma so sayonara Bertholdt and
welcome to the new Colossal Titan and god a destruction which ultimately you could
think of Levi for finishing him off. Anyway hope you enjoyed this video let
me hear from you so question of the day, Is anyone a huge fan of the Colossal
Titan and his human shifter? I don't see too much love for this guy. Was this guy your
favorite? Did his Titan reveal surprise you or did you forget he was in
season one like a lot of people? and how do you feel about Armin was he the right
pick for the colossal Titan? Anyway go ahead and give this a Colossal
