The oriental races are wiped out Mikasa has her mother's oriental blood, but is the last surviving member of the Asian races. Keep in mind, though, that in the Attack on Titan universe: The year 850 is some marker to an event that happened prior to the legend, in which case we have no frame of reference other than that the story must take place in or after the 1500s.This seems possible but unlikely, as their technology shows no signs of being derived from our own. The year 850 means that we are at least 850 years following the aforementioned legend, putting us no earlier than year 2350 A.D.If we use that same evidence as part of a timeline, there's two possibilities: Two captured Titans are named Sawney and Bean, which is stated in-universe to be based on the legend of Sawney Bean. This is evidenced by a reference to a real-world legend in episode 15: I recommend reading the manga for more information on the backstory of AoT for further information on timeline, place, and technology within the AoT universe.Īs said, Attack on Titan is set on Earth, but in a different situation. We did not, prior to these chapters, have a good understanding of the AoT universe and there's a good reason, too. I blocked out the text in the frames as it wasn't necessary. In chapter 94, we can also see the type of firearm that this child is carrying which is an excellent example of more sophisticated technology. In the same frame we can also see the soldier smoking a cigarette while taking a break on a mowed grass lawn. Military uniforms that look sort of similar to WWI/WWII era uniforms. In Chapter 86, page 156-157, we are presented with Again, we can't compare the timelines in AoT to our own since we know AoT's Earth is not our Earth but this should help give you a better understanding of the AoT world. In fact, we see in chapter 86, pages 146-147, thatĭuring Grisha Yeager's childhood (so some time before Eren), humanity was in possession of airships and military technology that we might have seen from the 1900s to 1930s or 40s.
While Paradis Island looks like it's living in our version of the medieval times, the rest of the world is not. It is a completely different world, albeit with a lot of similarities, but it makes the most sense to stick to the timeline that AoT presents to us throughout the manga and anime. Since this is not the same Earth, we can not use our own timeline to judge what time period this takes place.
So it further solidifies that the AoT Earth, while similar, is more than likely an alternate-universe Earth and not the same Earth that we currently reside on. And the peoples in the first two regions are called Marleyans and Eldians. In addition, the names of these regions are Marley, Paradis, and Mid-East Allies. There are a lot of references that we are familiar with, especially later on in the manga, but it is clear that the geography doesn't match up to anything on our current Earth. Unless the map was drawn in such a way as to purposely hide defining geographic characteristics, it is likely that the Earth in Attack on Titan is more of an alternate universe Earth. If we are using geography as an identifying feature of the Attack on Titan Earth, this is not the Earth that we know. Paradis, Island of Paradis, or Paradis Island, whichever you prefer to go by, and that is where most all of the story takes place (where Eren & the titans reside)Ĭross-referencing with a world map it becomes clear that In Chapter 93, page 6, we are presented with a geographic representation of the Attack on Titan world:
