Aside of the grand theme of their series, namely humanity's struggle against the titular, carnivorous creatures with greatly enhanced physical abilities and healing factors that allow them to regenerate entire limbs at a rapid pace, these two dark fantasy manga protagonists had their lives ruined after coming into contact with these creatures, which, in a sense of irony, ended with them becoming half-Ghoul/Titan respectively. Both of them possessed a keen hatred for these creatures and a fierce desire to protect those around them, mostly fueled by the loss of their mother. Both of them weren't really powerful at first, though they did pick up a few things about swordsmanship and martial arts, but that all changed when they unwillingly gained the power of the very creatures they hate with a burning passion, gaining most of the benefits that come with them, but also the psychological issues and natural instincts that they try to suppress, as Kaneki became a One-Eyed Ghoul after being attacked by Rize Kamishiro, and having some of her organs transplanted into him, and Eren became a Titan Shifter after the fall of Wall Maria, resulting in his father ejecting him with a Titan Injection and Eren subsequently eating him. In a small contrast, Kaneki's original personality clashes greatly with that of Eren's, as the former is extremely passive and emotionally withdrawn, while the latter is extremely agressive and not afraid to speak up on his desires.
