On February 13, shortly after the premiere of Season 4 Episode 24, Twitter user @Xemmypoo posted "They put Bob Odenkirk in Attack on Titan," comparing an image from the "Attack on Titan" manga to a screencap of that afternoon's episode, both of which feature a titan with a face similar to that of "Better Call Saul" protagonist Saul Goodman (portrayed by Bob Odenkirk). In response, user @Sex_PistoIs wrote "This is what I've been waiting for since S4 came back," suggesting that they anticipated this titan to show up in the anime based on its prior manga appearance.
In fact, Reddit user balticago started a thread on the "Attack on Titan" subreddit titled "This titan looks exactly like Bob Odenkirk" in October of 2021 consisting solely of a similar picture of the Saul Goodman titan's manga debut. At that time, user MatemanAltobelli responded, "It's supposed to be him," proposing that their resemblance is no coincidence. User herrsebbe elaborated further, recounting how "It's very likely intentional, since other famous actors, memes and characters pop up too. Off the top of my head, Nicholas Cage and a good chunk of the Game of Thrones cast appear as titans too. One of the Marley generals is clearly Mads Mikkelsen."
The Saul Goodman titan's recent appearance in the "Attack on Titan" anime is arguably even more timely now than it was in the manga, with "Better Call Saul" Season 6 currently on the horizon.
