Allegations were cleared up, and the real story was put forward
While many believe that the similarities are too striking to be a coincidence, several note that the two series were created by the same company, MAPPA. Viewers are going more thoroughly into the debate given the significance of this charge, reviewing the proof, contemplating the date of the release, and assessing the style of fight scenes in anime. The theory arises from a parallel comparison of aVinland Sagascene and a famousAttack on Titanaction segment.
When juxtaposed with one another, both of these shots plainly reveal a striking resemblance. Both photos show a figure in mid-air, poised to hit a rival from overhead. The startling resemblance in the stance and structure has some believing thatVinland Sagablatantly stoleAttack on Titan’sscene. Supporters of the Vinland Saga, on the other hand, were ready to put forward evidence that disproved the claims made.
They uploaded an excerpt from theAttack on Titanmanga, which existed prior to the show. The panel depicts an identical scene, demonstrating that the resemblance in fighting patterns was not copied fromAOTbut had originally been included in the original content for theVinland Saga.While the manga data shows thatVinland’sadaptation wasn’t intended to duplicateAOT,the issue of parallels remains. It is worth noting that both anime were created by the same studio, MAPPA, implying that some artistic aspects and techniques for animation could inevitably exist in both of them.
