This is a compilation of the questions fans asked Isayama about Flock from the Q&A and autograph signing in Oita that occurred on March 3rd, 2018.

Isayama on Flock’s role in the manga:

Q: Do you aim to have a prepared role for Flock?
A: Do you mean his name’s meaning?
Q: Oh no, the meaning of his existence…
A: Oh, yes a very important role
Q: That’s!!! You mean in a underhanded** way?
A:Yes.

Translator note: The interviewer used the term 飛び道具 (missile) for guessing Flock’s future role. The term is slang, generally used to mean in a “cowardly/unethical way”. In the past, combat involved hands or swords only. Using a gun/missile would then be considered a cowardly move

Editor’s Note/Disclaimer: This information, while sourced and repeated among Japanese fans, comes from both first and second hand accounts of the event and should be taken with this information in mind. SNK editor, Kawakubo Shintaro, advises to not take anything said in the event as “strictly canon” as things may be subject to change. Finally, many of the answers from both Isayama and the questioning fans were done in less formal/more slangy terms.
