The article is devoted to the linguistic and ideological analysis of the "warrior–soldier" opposition in Hajime Isayama's manga "Attack on Titan". The study demonstrates how linguistic means are used to construct an ideologically charged media reality that reflects socio-political relations of power, subordination, and consciousness manipulation. The paper examines how the traditional dictionary meanings of these terms are transformed within the narrative, acquiring opposing ideological connotations. The author shows that in the manga's universe, the "warrior-soldier" opposition serves not only to denote military statuses but also becomes a tool of propaganda, a marker of racial affiliation, and a means of creating false identities. Through specific examples from the manga's text, the mechanisms of linguistic construction of ideological reality are analyzed, and the role of this terminological pair in establishing a system of oppression and manipulation is revealed. The research confirms that linguistic and ideological analysis of literary texts allows for the identification of hidden ideological attitudes and the mechanisms of their linguistic implementation.
