Chile's national hero statue damaged, people propose Attack on Titan's Captain takes over

Anime from island countries is very influential overseas, at least Chile is one of them. Recently, an interesting story has sparked heated discussion. According to foreign media reports, due to the recent demonstrations, the original bronze statue of the national hero was damaged and temporarily removed for repair. The public actually jointly proposed that the Captain from "Attack on Titan" take over, on the grounds that the Captain is the strongest soldier in the world.

The Plaza Italia in Santiago, the capital of Chile, originally housed a bronze statue of Manuel Jesus Baquedano González, a famous hero in Chilean history. However, due to recent damage caused by demonstrations, the statue was temporarily removed for repairs. The empty original site has aroused people's thoughts, and someone initiated a joint proposal to have Captain Levi from "Attack on Titan" take over, which surprisingly received considerable support from the public.

Those who agree argue that Captain Levi is the strongest soldier in the world and deserves to be commemorated. Some netizens even say that Goku from Dragon Ball and the Straw Hat Pirates from One Piece are also good choices. Of course, there are also many opponents who say that history and tradition should be upheld.

The local government has not responded yet.
