A new video brings to life the incredible aerial stunts of the action-packed anime Attack on Titan. Adapted from the popular manga by Hajime Isayama, Attack on Titan takes place in a world where humanity shelters behind massive walls for fear of the monstrous Titans. These giant man-eating monsters threaten to bring the human race to extinction. When a Colossal Titan breaks through one of the walls, humanity must mount a new offensive and face the Titan threat head-on.
Attack on Titan has become a giant-sized franchise, with thousands of fans across the world, two live-action films, and fan art, cosplay, and more.
YouTuber and parkour athlete Nick Pro made an Attack on Titan inspired video where he reenacts some of the anime's most fantastic aerial stunts. Pro performs characters' jumps, backflips, full-body spins, and more, using trampolines to recreate the air achieved by the human warriors' Omni-Directional Mobility Gear. He even wields dual swords and dons a hoodie inspired by the Survey Corps, the division of the human military tasked with taking land back from the Titans.
Pro is known as a professional athlete with a bit of a geeky side. In addition to the video above, he has recorded himself performing stunts from tons of popular TV shows, movies, and video games. Fans who check out his channel will find recreations of everything from lightsaber battles in Star Wars to the leap of faith from Assassin's Creed. If his Attack on Titan video is any indication, Pro is also a bit of an anime fan, having made videos based off of shows like Naruto My Hero Academia.
Pro is an impressive example of the kind of creativity that a major franchise can inspire. Although the Attack on Titan anime is drawing to a close, the series is sure to have an effect on creators for a long time to come. One can only imagine the creative energies that will be kicked into overdrive when the series' grand finale finally hits the airwaves.
