Zeke Yeager is a character who has fascinated me and many others ever since he was first introduced as the enigmatic, intimidating, and slightly playful Beast Titan in the early arcs of the Attack on Titan Manga and Anime franchise. And now that said Anime has finally concluded, I decided it would be fitting to finally make a character analysis focusing on my favorite character in the entire series, and one of my favorites in any Anime and Manga.

I've been a fan of Zeke ever since he was first introduced and I've watched him grow and evolve from just a mysterious antagonistic force of nature to a genuinely complex and deep Human being whose arc is filled with many philosophical ideas and principles, which all come together to create a fascinating conclusion on the meaning of life and Humanity itself. I think that many misunderstand the true depth and complexity of Zeke's character, and that's a shame because he is arguably the most consistent and tightly written character in the story, even surpassing Eren in some areas.

Exploring the journey and mentality of Zeke Yeager is no easy feat. He is one of the most complex, mysterious, and overall intriguing characters Isayama has ever put on the page, and therefore to truly understand how he thinks and what his character is about thematically, a keen eye and a willingness to dive into the psychology of this broken, young man who has been treated like dirt his whole life, are required.

I have been wanting to do this video for a long time but I held off on it due to the Anime not being complete. Now I have no reason to delay it. I want everyone in this fandom to see this video so if you enjoy it, please share it with others and spread it across the fandom so more people see it. Zeke is a character that has many subtle and unclear nuances to him that I would like to explain and analyze in this video, so I hope you guys like it and support it, as it is one of the videos I've put the most passion into making...so, without further ado, let's explore the contradictions of Zeke Yeager...
