Ok, here’s what I’ve got so far in this signing event
Except the illustrations drawn, fans took the opportunity to ask Isayama a couple of questions. They released pieces of information on Twitter:
During Shiganshina’s resettling, Erwin’s bones were taken by Levi before being buried. Erwin received a memorial later. [Source, Source 2 / Translation]
Bertolt was chosen as the Colossus Titan for his natural abilities and not because he came from a special bloodline. [Source]
Eren is now 183cm, the same height as Grisha. Isayama added he looked like Carla before. The author is well-aware of Eren’s new mustache. [Source]
The reason why Levi wields the old equipment (cape, old blades) is because he can’t keep up with the change. [Source/Translation]
The editor didn’t want to change everybody’s appearance and wanted Eren without beard. [Translation]
Since the original didn’t make it clear: it’s Bertolt’s father who was reported dead by Karina and Mr. Leonhart. [Source]
Isayama had no plans for Levi’s father. He added he’ probably a short man, considering Levi’s size. [Translation]
Eren injured his eye and cut his own leg himself. The Survey Corps wear socks beneath their boots. Eren was under someone’s influence when he asked Falco about “that girl”. The new 3DMG looks problematic to go to the bathroom with (Isayama also references Elysium with Matt Damon). [Source]
Eren’s blood type is B, holds his liquor well, looks similar to his father, sometimes influenced by the memories of others, has good cleaning skills and his eye color is gray-ish (P.S.: Eren’s eye color is blue-gray-ish in Isayama’s illustrations, whereas anime makes his eyes blue-teal). [Source]
If Eren went to a karaoke session, he’d sing metal. [Source]
Eren’s birthday isn’t determined by astrology traits. [Source]
Bertolt wanted to become a warrior for the sake of his father. [Source]
“Erwin feels so complete. Bertolt, I haven’t finished drawing him yet…” [Source]
Since Isayama couldn’t come up with a setup for Bertolt’s parents, he killed them. [Source]
Just because characters die doesn’t mean their impact is irrelevant on the story. [Source]
When Bertolt called the 104th for help, they thought “Aah” and prioritized Armin’s life. When Bertolt begged for their help, they wanted him to stop. [Source]
Levi’s blood type is A if I understand that correctly. He thinks of Eren as dirty. Eren growing his hair is a choice, and his state of consciousness doesn’t privilege the looks (despite him being at a hospital). [Source]
From the same source above: Isayama has no plans for a Paradis flashback over the four years, yet. “Maybe for fun”, the editor implied. While Kenny doesn’t use brothels, Levi thought of prostitution as a normal occupation. No concrete data about Eren’s weight, but Isayama describes his stature as slender.
Autograph event: Levi can cook and use a knife in a normal way, unlike how he holds the 3DMG blade. Eren’s blood type is B, Mikasa’s is AB’s and Armin’s is O [Source / Translation]
Isayama will “come up with something” with Erwin (flashback implied). [Source]
Levi took a an old green cloak he dyed black, in chapter 102. We don’t know whose cape it is. [Source]
Isayama described Erwin as a charismatic hero. [Source]
Isayama planned at least the demise of one character. [Source]
Isayama implied hope was still present even after Erwin’s death, when explaining the meaning of ch. 84′s title, Midnight Sun. [Translation]
Isayama has seen doujins and fanworks before, and he’s happy to see the fandom using his story. [Source / Translation]
Thanks to Levi, Eren improved his cleaning skills out of fear of being scolded. He became good at dusting. [Source / Translation]
Official tag for commentaries is this one, but most answers are untagged.
I’ll edit this post if I see something new.
For clarification, about the Paradis flashback:
Q: Do you have plans to fill the blanks of the 4-year timeskip (on Paradis)?
A: I can’t tell about it yet. (Bakku-san) Mr. Isayama said only for fun, isn’t it?
Considering he implies an Erwin flashback, it can be assumed Isayama plans some tidbits on Paradis, but not a 3-chapter long flashback. My mistake if it was confusing.
