A Not-spoiler Free Blog! — Yelena's Height Is 202 Cms (6'7.5”)

Yelena’s height is 202 cms (6’7.5”)

Quick post about Yelena’s height because I did the thing and figured this out for all the snk fans who have entirely the right amount of obsession with this fantastic genderfuck of a queer character that Isayama dropped on us in 105. So yeah, methods and stuff to follow.

I analysed two manga panels that feature full-body images of Yelena with another character, I took the heights that we know those characters to be, and I plugged it all into my one remaining piece of 8th grade algebra (this is basically the only algebraic skill I’ve retained and I’m proud of it). Et voílà, Yelena’s height was revealed. I did the best I could with the angles, poses, and imperfections in Isayama’s horizon lines, so consider this a rough estimate. But shockingly, the two panels I analysed brought up almost identical results, so I actually feel pretty confident about this.

First, I compared Hanji and Yelena from the new chapter. Hanji is 170 cms, but they’re slouched a bit in the frame because they’re closing the door and talking to Zeke while he sits on the floor. Yelena is also slouched and leaning back against the wall. I guesstimated some extra height for both of them, and I ended up with 202.2 cms (roughly 6’7.5”). I’ll put the math at the very bottom for those who care to see such things.

Then, I compared Porco and Yelena from a few chapters back. Porco is 175 cms. In the shot, he’s standing somewhat behind Yelena, so I made some adjustments to account for perspective and more Yelena-slouching (which is a seriously realistic behavior for someone so goddamn tall). The results were 202.3 cms (pretty much the same figure as before in feet and inches). Again, math below:

And that’s it! Cheers for making it through this!
