I want to put an end to that recurring nightmare, right now. There are those who would get in my way. But I’m fine playing the role of the lunatic who kills people like that. I have to be ready to rearrange some faces. Because I choose the hell of humans killing each other over the hell of being eaten. | ![]() |
— Levi explains his mentality to his squad[17] |
Levi Ackerman ( リヴァイ・アッカーマン Rivai Akkāman ? ), much formally referred to as Captain Levi ( リヴァイ兵長 Rivai Heichō ? ), is the team captain ( 兵士長 Heishichō ?, fall. “ leader of the soldiers ” ) of the special Operations Squad within the Survey Corps and is widely known as world ‘s strongest soldier. [ 1 ]
appearance
Levi has short, uncoiled black haircloth styled in an undersell curtain, a well as narrow, intimidating dull gray eyes with dark circles under them and a deceptively youthful face. He is quite inadequate, but his physique is well-developed in muscular structure from extensive upright steer equipment use. He is normally either frowning or deadpan ; that, plus his extremely calm demeanor, frequently makes it difficult for others to guess what he is thinking. He is most often seen in his Survey Corps undifferentiated, with a abstemious grey button-up shirt underneath, along with his trademark white ascot. When embarking on expeditions outside the Walls, he besides wears the Survey Corps ‘ green hooded clothe. once, when forced to take leave from his duties due to injury, Levi was seen in a black befit, plain white shirt, ascot, and dress shoes. [citation needed] however, since the begin of the coup d’état, he has left the ascot off. For most of the meter during which the Survey Corps was on the run from the military and monarchy, he simply wore his vertical steer equipment harness over casual clothes. [citation needed] After a close-encounter explosion from a Thunder Spear set off by Zeke Yeager, [ 18 ] Levi now has respective scars across his side including one across his right center and is missing both the index and middle fingers on his right hand. [ 19 ]
personality
As a result of his early childhood years, Levi is described as a “ clean addict ” by those who know him personally as he prefers his environment and himself to be spotlessly fairly. He is antipathetic to having either himself or his equipment soiled, and has been known to wipe down his blood-smeared blades while still on the battlefield. however, he will not hesitate to touch dirt if he deems it necessity. [ 20 ] [ 21 ]
Despite his preoccupation with cleanliness, Levi is not very approachable. He rarely shows emotion, giving a cold impression to others. His manner of speaking tends to be very blunt, even insulting, and his comments are much coarse or inappropriate. He is not above provoking or belittling those who oppose or irritate him. His sense of humor tends toward the common, diss, and dark. All of this makes him unsettling to a great count of people. In his pre-Survey Corps criminal biography, when he lived in the Underground City, Levi refused to take orders from anyone ( as Petra Ral tells Eren ), though he placed a great trust in his comrades, something he would by and by do with his subordinates. however, after he joined the Survey Corps, he came to greatly respect Commander Erwin Smith, whose orders he follows willingly because he trusts in Erwin ‘s imagination for the Corps. Levi ‘s obedience is strictly limited to individuals he respects, and he has no problem showing open reject for authority from anyone outside of this lap. At Eren ‘s court, he insulted the merchants by calling them “ pigs ” and told the Military Police that they were not competent adequate to handle Eren, [ 22 ] mocking several MPs by observing that they have never battled or even seen a single Titan. He even sarcastically suggests that they join the Survey Corps, which caused them to back off. He openly resents most of the MPs for their continual attempts to undermine the Survey Corps, and besides presumably because of the criminal liveliness he led before he joined the Corps. Although he rarely shows it, Levi has a strong smell of ethical motive and empathy. One of his most define characteristics is the big rate he places on preserving human life ; this is particularly shown when it was revealed that all Titans might have once been human themselves. The intend that he had unwittingly been killing humans all this time disturbs him greatly. Though Levi bore no malice against Eren, he was uncoerced to resort to violence in order to save his life at his court, finally asking Eren whether he resented him for the outwit. Levi himself has stated that he hates unnecessary casualties, and he tells his subordinates to use their judgment so that they can avoid blunders that may cost them their lives .
Because of their hazardous profession and his personal values, he cares greatly for his subordinates ‘ benefit. This is seen respective times : when ordered to retreat early to Wall Rose at the end of the black 57th excursion, Levi was visibly distressed that so many of his soldiers had died on a bootless deputation. late, he risked his life against the Female Titan in order to retrieve Eren from her mouth and besides to protect to Mikasa, who had gone after her recklessly looking for vengeance. As they re-entered the gate, Petra ‘s father approached him, cheerfully talking about his daughter and her level devotion to the Survey Corps. Unbeknownst to him, his daughter had just been killed ; Levi remained silent, he was besides overcome with grief to reply. Levi was visibly affected by the loss of his entire master special Operations Squad at the hands of the Female Titan, stating that he carries the will of his fall comrades, and that their corporate grudge against the Titans further strengthens his decide to continue to fight. Despite his obedience to Erwin, Levi operates quite independently. many of his Titan kills are solo, accomplished with little address cooperation from other soldiers ( due to him normally assigning them to hunt other Titans in the vicinity ). Although he is looked up to by many, and he does not hesitate to give orders when necessary, Levi does not see himself as a leader in the same way Erwin is. He does not seem to have much use for hierarchy in general, and he leaves decisions up to his subordinates angstrom often as he can. Though Levi is mindful that his battle skill is in a unlike league from that of about any other human soldier alive, he is not arrogant about it, as he knows from experience that no human soldier is invulnerable. Few will argue with his claims that only he can handle certain difficult tasks, because he has proven his ability to accomplish them. While Levi shows loyalty and empathy for his comrades, he shows no mercy towards the Titans, slaughtering them randomly with obvious indifference. however, when the Titans are former friends and subordinates, Levi can briefly hesitate and wonder if they are silent aware of their actions while trapped inside their Titan forms ; regardless, Levi has displayed no trouble in killing them. When dealing with individuals he perceives to be enemies to mankind, Levi is capable of behaving sadistically, even revengefully. For exercise, when the Female Titan was captured, Levi relayed his enjoyment at watching her suffer and described in chilling contingent how he intended to mutilate her human body. He has besides tortured Djel Sannes with Hange Zoë, punching him and twisting his already broken intrude. After defeating Zeke Yeager a second gear time, he sadistically made it clear that he was going to torture Zeke for his crimes against Paradis and the Survey Corps, impaling him with a big h Spear. Levi displays no emotion during these times aside from bloodlust, shown by his methodically slicing aside Zeke ‘s leg. [ 23 ] Levi is occasionally known to lose his calm air demeanor and to use threats or violence to get others to listen to him, even if they are colleague members of the corps. An example of such demeanor was shown when he directly ordered Historia Reiss to take on the role of tabby when the wonder was presented to her. When she shakily says she is unfit, he grabs her and lifts her off the ground, choking her and telling her to fight bet on if she does not like it. He then drops her and yells at her to make her decision, but is however composure once again when she complies with his demands. [ 24 ]
history
Levi is the son of Kuchel Ackerman, a prostitute who worked in the Underground and was made fraught by one of her clients. One day, Kenny Ackerman, Kuchel ‘s older buddy, came to the city to see her only to find that she was dead. [ 25 ] There, he found a young and seamy Levi sitting in front of his mother ‘s bed. In a rare show of compassion, Kenny decided to take wish of him. He raised Levi vitamin a well as he could : teaching him knife skills, how to get along with people, and fierce behavior. Levi besides learned to use his own inner power that he possessed as a member of the Ackerman kin. [ 26 ] Time passed and finally, Kenny taught Levi everything he knew. however, he did not consider himself as a adept don calculate. [ 27 ] [ 28 ] One day, in the subterranean city, Levi started a crusade which he won easily. At that moment, Kenny decided to leave him behind, satisfied that he had taught Levi the skills he needed to survive. [ 29 ] late, he became a ill-famed hood in the clandestine but finally left the place to join the Survey Corps. [ 3 ] Although he was at odds with Erwin, [ 30 ] he ended up becoming one of his most believe men .
fib
While on an dispatch beyond the Walls, Levi and Hange recover the notebook of a soldier named Ilse Langnar. After reading the contents of the diary, Levi is left stun and comments that it is what Ilse died for. [ 31 ]
Levi is seen leaving Trost District, along with the rest of the Survey Corps, on the 56th Expedition Beyond the Walls—the lapp day the Colossus Titan attacks the district. While on the dispatch, Levi sees a soldier catch in the jaw of a nearby Titan and kills it. As more Titans approach, Levi orders Petra Ral to take care of the injured soldier while he takes manage of the remaining Titans. After clearing the contiguous area, Levi checks on the injured soldier, who is quickly succumbing to his injuries. In an attempt to comfort the scout in his die moments, Levi assures him that he has done his duty well. As the soldier dies, Erwin arrives and informs Levi that they are returning to Trost. Levi is unwilling to turn back so soon, is forced to concede when Erwin informs him that Wall Rose has possibly been breached. [ 32 ]
Levi arrives back in Trost in time to find two Titans bearing down on four soldiers at the basal of the Wall. He cursorily kills the Titans, and demands that the soldiers fill him in on what has happened. [ 33 ] Three days subsequently, after Eren wakes up in the keep beneath the courthouse, Levi assures him that the higher-ups will let him join the Survey Corps—and that he himself will make certain Eren does not get out of hand. Should that happen, Levi says, he will not hesitate to end Eren ‘s life. [ 34 ]
After Eren issues a verbal challenge to the hearing during his trial, Levi violently beats him on the spot, jeeringly observing that while chained on his knees, Eren is perfectly placed for his kicks. Armin has to restrain an angered Mikasa from coming to Eren ‘s rescue and killing Levi. She glares at Levi after the trial, apparently unnerving him. Unknown to Mikasa, the beat was an act in defense of Eren that gave the mental picture that despite Eren ‘s awful Titan powers, Levi ( and by annex, the rest of humanity ) could still control him. [ 35 ]
After the trial, Levi hands Eren over to his special Operations Squad for the following month. They move into the old Survey Corps HQ inside Wall Rose. Levi orders Eren to sleep in the castle dungeon so that if he unintentionally transforms, he will not cause problems. [ 36 ] During this calendar month, Hange conducts experiments to try to get Eren to transform. If Eren goes out of control in Titan imprint, Levi intends to cut him out of the nape in a manner that would sever his homo limbs, which would grow back in any encase. however, Eren fails to transform, and his hands do not heal from his bites. The Squad decides to postpone any promote experiments. [ 37 ] One day, while having tea with them, Eren leans over to pick up a spoon and incidentally generates a partial Titan body. The dismay Squad threatens him, and Levi has to defuse the situation. [ 38 ] Levi tells Eren not to take their actions personally, and that they have good intentions. Later, after Hange explains why Eren triggered his Titan shape, Levi ‘s entire police squad punishes themselves, and apologizes to Eren for acting on presumption. [ 39 ] During the 57th Expedition Beyond the Walls, Levi and his team are ordered to ride in the safest area of Erwin ‘s formation. When the constitution is on the spur of the moment attacked by a horde of Titans coming at their correct flank, they change course toward the Titan Forest, and Levi ‘s police squad takes the cardinal route. [ 40 ] once the Female Titan appears, his team beg Levi to give them orders, but he continues to ride forward and look straight ahead. [ 41 ] Eren badly wants to transform and fight the Female Titan, but Petra and her comrades urge him to trust them, and Eren hesitates. [ 42 ] Levi tells Eren that he is not wrong for wanting to transform and that cipher can know the correct option until after they have made it. Whatever Eren chooses to do, Levi says, he should do it and believe he will not regret it. Eren then declares that he trusts wholly in his squad ‘s victory, and they keep going through the Forest. [ 43 ] [ 44 ] This enables the Survey Corps to capture the Female Titan. [ 45 ]
concisely subsequently, Levi gets separated from his squad. He reunites with Erwin and prepares to extract the human in dominance of the Female Titan from the nape of her neck. [ 46 ] He and Mike attack her and try to cut her hands, entirely to discover her ability to harden her skin. [ 47 ] After Erwin orders the cannons to be loaded with explosives and aimed at the Female Titan ‘s wrists, Levi, standing on her promontory, taunts her with threats of violence, telling her he would like to face her in her human form over the deaths of countless of his soldiers. In response, the Female Titan begins to roar. [ 48 ] soon after, Titans come at her from all directions and devour her. On Erwin ‘s order, Levi and the stay of the Survey Corps elite try on to protect her from them, but they fail due to the absolute number of Titans. Erwin orders the Corps to retreat back to the Karanes District. [ 49 ] [ 50 ] however, Erwin notes that the steam from the Titan bodies will make it difficult for the respite of the Survey Corps to see the signal flares. He then realizes that the human inside the Female Titan may have escaped, and he orders Levi to replenish his gas canisters and blades. [ 51 ] After the Female Titan returns and kills Levi ‘s entire team and captures Eren, he and Mikasa connect forces to rescue him. Levi tells Mikasa to distract the Titan but keep off trying to kill her, since she is able to harden her skin. [ 52 ] Levi then proceeds to attack the Female Titan, and after a series of successful attacks, he incapacitates her. Seeing that the Female Titan is now helpless, Mikasa disobeys Levi ‘s orders and attempts to kill the person inside the Titan. however, the Female Titan swings her tempered fist at Mikasa, and Levi is forced to pull Mikasa out of the room. While doing this, Levi injures his leave leg. [ 53 ] Using the momentum he gained from the last attack, Levi then proceeds to cuts through the Female Titan ‘s facial muscles, causing her to open her mouth and release Eren. He grabs Eren and flees with Mikasa, whom he reprimands for having risked the life of her “ extra friend ” for the sake of vengeance. [ 54 ] As he leaves, he takes one more attend at the beat Female Titan and is visibly storm to see it crying .
As they enter Karanes after retreating, the Survey Corps receives a hostile response from the public for their fail mission. Levi is approached by Petra ‘s father, who reveals that she wrote to him frequently. He tells Levi that, as a church father, he is worried about Petra ‘s decision to dedicate her life to him, as she is silent quite young and has her wholly life ahead of her. Levi continues to walk mutely ahead without responding. [ 55 ] A few days late, Eren is summoned to the Capitol for a test to decide his destine. Beforehand, Levi, Erwin, Eren, and the other survivors reunite in the honest-to-god Survey Corps HQ. Armin tells them his hypothesis about the Female Titan ‘s true identity. [ 56 ] Levi, still injured, does not participate in the subsequent operation in the Stohess District ; during this depart of the arc he is merely seen with Erwin. [ 57 ]
During the supposed breach of Wall Rose, Levi is seen accompanying Hange and the others as they head to Ehrmich District while they attempt to get information from Minister Nick. Though he will not personally offer them any data, he agrees to reveal the identity of a person who is able to speak about the secrets of the Walls : Historia Reiss. The Shiganshina Trio offer to help locate her, and in describing her, Mikasa reveals the name of Ymir —much to Hange ‘s and Levi ‘s surprise. [ 58 ] Levi is briefly seen again at Trost District, hush sidelined due to his injury. After the appearance of the Armored and Colossus Titans atop Wall Rose, a insulation of about 100 soldiers from all three military branches is gathered. Some of the MPs express disappointment not to have seen any Titans nearby. Levi calls their bluff by inviting them to join the Survey Corps any day so they can go outside of the Walls to fight them, whereupon they back down. [ 59 ]
Levi visits Erwin when he is well enough to talk and expresses sympathy for the passing of Erwin ‘s arm. Hange and Connie arrive a well to report on their findings regarding Ragako village and Hange says that they support the theory that the Titans were once human. [ 60 ] Levi is initially disbelieving because they have never found humans inside the bodies of Titans, even living ones, and is depressed to think that he could have been killing people this unharmed time. Hange offers some comfort in that there is no solid proof of that. [ 61 ] By contrast, Erwin smiles at the news, which disturbs Levi to the point he says Erwin is going to make him sick. Since Erwin is exhausted from his ordeal, Levi notifies him that he has taken the autonomy of selecting members for his new special Operations Squad. He believes that Eren needs to be pushed into desperation. [ 62 ]
Levi, Hange, and members of their squads hideaway to a outback cabin where Eren and Historia are being hidden. Their aim is still to seal the hole in Wall Maria, and if Eren can do that as a Titan it would save the logistic costs of hauling out materials like in the first place planned. When Eren says he is bequeath, Levi gives Hange the duty of running the experiments necessity to test the limits of Eren ‘s abilities. [ 63 ] however, Hange besides wants to lay first gear because Minister Nick has been murdered. [ 64 ] After hearing the details, Levi disagrees. An enemy that persistent will find them finally. He besides guesses that Nick did not reveal any information, as all his fingernails had been pulled out. person uncoerced to talk, he states, would have given up after just one. Levi sees two paths forward : they can either flee before they are stabbed in the back, or exterminate their manque killers. Hange suggests they do both, and Levi notes that this is precisely what Erwin would say. [ 65 ]
After running their experiments, Levi receives a note from Erwin and asks those members of his squad “ speechless adequate ” to trust the Commander to come with him. They manage to escape before intruders reach their cabin and travel rapidly to their rendezvous point. When they arrive, they are approached by a crowd that blame the Survey Corps for the poor living conditions in Trost District. In the middle of this, a carriage comes crashing through and appears to kidnaps Eren and Historia. [ 66 ] however, the kidnapped ones are actually Jean Kirstein and Armin in disguise. Levi and his team track the kidnappers to their hideout. [ 67 ]
They attack the kidnappers before the misrepresentation can be discovered and cursorily subdue them. Their drawing card turns out to be Dimo Reeves, the merchant boss who was blocking the gate with his cargo the sidereal day Trost was invaded. Reeves protests about not knowing anything and Levi suggests that they go out and talk. On top of Wall Rose, Levi says he is not here to lecture him, but find out about the deal Reeves made with the Interior Military Police. Reeves reveals that there was no cover sol much as if his company did not cooperate his employees would be out of jobs and he would be absolutely. [ 68 ] Though the Reeves Company does a draw of full for Trost, Levi recognizes that this will not last and compares Reeves ‘ contend with the Military Police to that of the Survey Corps against the Titans. So that Reeves will fight excessively, Levi offers to hand over Eren and Historia on three conditions : the Reeves Company will work against the Interior Military Police together with the Survey Corps, the Reeves Company will trust the Survey Corps completely, and the Survey Corps will receive priority access to any luxury goods. It is a difficult dicker, but Reeves agrees and baits Djel Sannes and Ralph of the Interior First Squad into a trap so that they can be captured by the Survey Corps. [ 69 ]
In hiding below prime, Levi and Hange begin cultivate on Sannes, [ 70 ] who proves difficult to crack, flush after being beaten and having his fingernails removed to equal the discussion received by Minister Nick. Sannes expresses some compunction for the anguish he has had to inflict, but believes it was necessity to maintain peace within the Walls. Levi is disagreeable and suggests beginning Sannes ‘ torture properly if he does not answer questions correctly, starting with the identity of the Reiss family. [ 71 ] rather than giving in to the agony, Sannes goads them into tormenting him farther. He knows what it is like to be the torturer and the exponent it gives. Disgusted, Levi suggests they take a break, and they leave the door open a crevice behind them. [ 72 ] This allows Sannes to overhear a staged conversation between Levi and Ralph, where Levi claims that Ralph told them everything and Ralph in turn pretends to have no care for Sannes, calling him a pain, and asking if there will be a bed in his cell. Levi adds that if Sannes speaks, the two of them can even be housed in the same cell together late. This is adequate to break Sannes and he confesses that the Reiss family is the true imperial lineage. [ 73 ] The future dawn Nifa returns after carrying news of the Reiss family inheritance to Erwin and bringing back a tax return message. Levi holds a meet with his police squad along with Keiji, Nifa, and the Abel from Hange ‘s police squad. Dimo and his son, Flegel Reeves, are stage as well and Levi insists that they stay. however, Levi neglected to inform his police squad of Historia ‘s heritage, shocking her when Nifa raises the topic of how to place her on the toilet. When Historia panics, he agrees that most people would not step up under such circumstances, but it does not change things. She has to do it. He makes it clear up that if she refuses, she had better run, because they will do everything in their power to force her. [ 74 ]
Though the rest of his team is upset by his demeanor, Levi presents his worldview, where food, sleep, even the lives of companions are not guaranteed to be approximately tomorrow. He is abnormal, the way he sees things, but because of it, Levi will be faster to react to a crisis than any of them. If he has to play the lunatic and kill some people to save some fortune of humanity then he will, but it would be better if person else plainly grab control of the world thus things do not come to that orient. unfortunately they do not have the clock for Historia to think this over, so he snaps and demands her suffice immediately. She cracks beneath the blackmail and agrees. They then move ahead with the plan for the Reeves Company to hand over Eren and Historia and track their kidnappers to Rod Reiss. [ 75 ] The kidnapping goes wrong when Dimo Reeves and his employees are killed [ 76 ] and the murders pinned on the Survey Corps. [ 77 ] While his police squad waits in an alley for their separate in the rescue plan, Levi along with most of Hange ‘s manages to catch up with the First Interior Squad in town and spy on the hearse and coffins that they suspect are carrying Eren and Historia. Levi is disturbed that the First Squad figured out the Reeves Company deception, because that would require thinking like him, or possibly more like “ Kenny the Ripper. ” Nifa calls him an urban caption, but Levi assures her that he is actual and that they lived together when he was a child. He notices how the tactics he uses are strongly influenced by Kenny. [ 78 ]
As he realizes this, Kenny Ackerman appears behind him, wearing vertical maneuver equipment that is modified to work with guns for killing humans. Levi narrowly dodges being shot, but Nifa is killed immediately. elsewhere around the stakeout, Keiji and the Abel are killed ampere well. [ 79 ] Levi throws one of his blades at Kenny and dodges his following stroke by throwing his cloak as cover. He makes a fracture for it, frustrated that Kenny can read all of his moves and shocked that Kenny of all people has become an MP. Members of the Anti-Personnel Control Squad still-hunt Levi, using vertical maneuver equipment modified for function with firearms, and he takes cover in a bar to avoid being tear. Kenny follows him inside. [ 80 ]
The two of them exchange barbs about their past and while Kenny talks, Levi takes the opportunity to load the bartender ‘s plunder and reposition an alcohol bottle, allowing him to see Kenny in its contemplation. Kenny figures that Levi joined the Survey Corps for the same rationality he joined the Military Police. He found something he wanted to do and hobbies make life worth living. When Levi asks if killing his soldiers is a part of that, Kenny admits he will kill anyone if it gets the job done and says Levi would do the same. [ 81 ] Levi agrees and shoots Kenny by aiming with the bottle ‘s reflection. The shoot hits the president Kenny is holding, but is even potent enough to throw him back outside and Levi takes the opportunity to escape. He tosses a chair through a window to distract the squad members outside before emerging himself and firing a grapple line into the throat of the nearest one. The remaining two members nearby prepare to fire, but Levi uses the dead man as a meat shield sol that he can get in near in and kill them. He continues to flee and curses that there are still over ten pursuers left. [ 82 ]
Levi catches up with his team while the Anti-Personnel Squad is chasing him. He kills one of the MPs before landing in Armin ‘s wagon and orders them to stop following the hearse. Their plan has leaked and now Eren and Historia are being used as tease to kill them. As they make their escape, he tells his team that they must kill their pursuers whenever they have the opportunity, but Jean is unable to do so and finds himself on the incorrect side of a gunman. [ 83 ] Before Jean can be slain, Armin uses his pistol to lethally shoot the MP and save his life. Though Levi ‘s police squad escapes entire, Armin is profoundly bothered by the fact he was uncoerced to kill person and Levi explains to him that he was able to pull the trigger because he knew that if he did not, then Jean would have died. jean admits he thought Levi ‘s way of doing things was wrong, but it was more that he did not want to hurt other people. He will fire adjacent time. Levi agrees that Jean ‘s gentleness put them in a bad smudge, but he does not know what is right or wrong and denim might not have been faulty. [ 84 ]
Levi and his police squad trap Marlowe Freudenberg and Hitch Dreyse, who have been sent into the forest to look for Survey Corps soldiers. They take their uniforms with the purpose of infiltrating the military Police to find out where Eren and Historia have been taken. Before he can announce their fates, Hitch challenges him over the civilian deaths in Stohess District and berates his squad over the fade and presume death of Annie, who she never very got to know. [ 85 ] Levi corrects her about Annie ‘s true state, in that she was the Titan hiding in Stohess and she is presently being held, though that is not likely a fact they want new recruits to know. It bothers him that jointly thus many people are in the dark about the truth of their world. Marlowe asks if the Survey Corps in truth killed the people from the Reeves Company and Levi replies that it was the Interior Military Police, which causes Marlowe to offer helping him to set things correctly. He would be more effective as an actual MP than Levi ‘s disguise soldiers. Levi is disbelieving, but Jean steps in and asks if he can handle this. Levi allows it. [ 86 ]

jean tests their fictional character to see where their hearts rightfully lie and when it is clearly they have no intention of killing him or following their original orders, he believes this is adequate to convince Levi to trust them. [ 87 ] Levi and his squad use the information gathered by Hitch and Marlowe to attack an Interior Military Police colonial. [ 88 ] The percolation goes successfully, with the Interior MPs being disabled preferably than killed, but they do not find Eren and Historia. Levi and his police squad leave with one hostage who Levi interrogates about their location, but the MP refuses to talk, alternatively spouting off about how the Survey Corps will be golden to survive and how Erwin and the early capture soldiers will be executed. He tells Levi that their merely choice is to surrender and hope that adequate to spare their comrades ‘ lives. [ 89 ]
Undeterred, Levi asks again where Eren and “ Krista ” are located. The MP is surprised that Levi would give up on his comrades, but Levi doubts the crown would spare them and viciously twists and breaks the MP ‘s weapon for not answering his wonder. The one-third meter he asks about Eren and “ Krista ” the MP is panicked and confesses that he does not know where they are. Kenny Ackerman is highly tight-lipped about it. [ 90 ] Both Levi and Mikasa are surprised to hear the last identify, but they are interrupted by people approaching on foot before they can question the MP further. The squad prepares to do an ambush. [ 91 ]
however, the newcomers turn out to be Hange along with Marlowe and Hitch, who have come with good news. The false charges against the Survey Corps have been dropped and the capital is now under the command of Commander-in-Chief Darius Zackly. Levi ‘s squad celebrates and he asks what in the universe could have been done to accomplish this. Hange answers that it was the individual choices of many people that changed their world. He apologizes for losing Keiji, Nifa, and Goggles, but Hange finds hope in the fact that their sacrifice enabled Levi to beat the First Interior Squad, to which Levi admits that their leader and his team are still out there. [ 92 ] Hange has a contribute though and suspects that Eren is going to be eaten in order to obtain his Titan power. Erwin had a report commissioned on the Reiss estate, and assuming that Eren and Historia were captured by the Reiss family, that is likely where they are being held. The sidereal day Wall Maria fell a group of bandits burned down the greenwich village chapel service while the Reiss family was inside, massacring everyone except for Rod Reiss. Days later he initiated liaison with Historia. Levi concludes that there must be something special about her lineage. [ 93 ] The destroy chapel is what interests Hange though, because open fire should not have torn down a stone build, and then Rod Reiss rebuilt the place with his own assets. There is something foreign about all that. Levi agrees and has everyone mind there. [ 94 ]
He warns his team that Kenny will be their biggest obstacle, because fighting him will be like fighting Levi himself. Levi asks Mikasa if she thinks Kenny might be related to her since they share the like last name, Ackerman, but she does not directly answer. She lone knows that her father ‘s kin was persecuted, and not the reason why. Levi then asks her whether she experienced a moment when she felt a sudden baron wake up inside her. Upon confirming this, Levi tells Mikasa that he and Kenny besides experienced such moments in their lives. [ 95 ]
They arrive at the chapel and find the confidential door leading underground. Levi and the others make preparations for facing the Anti-Personnel Control Squad, which is waiting for them below. [ 96 ] The group sends barrels of gunpowder and bags of oil down the stairs, setting fire to them and filling the underground chamber with fastball, reducing visibility and the utility of firearms. Most of the police squad exacerbates the problem with signal flares while Levi and Mikasa Scout out their enemies. Levi calls for his police squad to take them down and the team springs into action. After a concerted push, they manage to drive back the Anti-Personnel Squad. Levi leaves Armin to take care of an injure Hange while he and the others chase after them. [ 97 ]
The squad finds Rod Reiss transforming into a Titan and Historia trying to free Eren from his chains. When she is blown back, Levi, Connie, and Jean take the keys to help free him. Making matters worse, the roof begins to collapse from the size of Rod ‘s Titan and the team is trapped against the wall of the chamber. Eren is hesitant to act until Levi pushes him to make a choice, just like he did back when they were facing the Female Titan. The memory is enough to get Eren on his feet. He grabs the “ Armor ” bottle that had fallen out of Rod ‘s bag and breaks it between his tooth as he transforms. [ 98 ] Eren ‘s Titan shape then crystallizes, stabilizing the cavern around the police squad, preventing them from being crushed. even after he is cut out of it, his tempered form does not disappear, which Levi states is a huge development, as they can now seal the hole in Wall Maria. [ 99 ] Levi and his squad die the cavern through a trap made in the ceiling above and see the lead of destruction left in the wake up of Rod Reiss ‘ Titan. Armin believes it is an abnormal since it is ignoring them and Levi tells everyone that they are going after it. Eren entertains the hypothesis of getting eaten by Rod, since that would turn him rear into a homo who would then have the powers of the Progenitor Titan, but Levi disabuses him of the notion. flush if they turn Rod Reiss back into a homo, they would still have to undo the First King ‘s brainwash in club to get him to help them. [ 100 ]
Erwin meets up with them and Levi briefs him on the situation. The Survey Corps regroups in Orvud District in preparation to fight Rod. [ 101 ] At dawn, Historia joins the others on the Wall in cooking to defeat the gigantic Titan and Levi tries to convince her to stand down, but she pushes spinal column using his own argue about choosing whether to run or to fight. [ 102 ] Levi watches the Garrison ‘s cannon attacks against Rod Reiss, noting how ineffective they are. [ 103 ] When the Titan reaches the Wall, Levi and his squad go forward with Erwin ‘s plan to cripple Rod Reiss ‘ hands with explosives and have Eren shoves barrels of gunpowder inside Rod ‘s mouth, causing him to explode. The plan is a success and they begin cutting down the flying pieces of flesh to find Rod Reiss ‘ dependable body and Historia is the one who kills him. [ 104 ] Some time after the competitiveness, Levi and a dependent recover Kenny sitting under a tree in the woods. Kenny is heavy wounded and Levi sends the other soldier away, saying he will be fine on his own. As if to mock him, Kenny shows Levi one of the syringes with the serum that transforms a person into a Titan. however Levi knows that if Kenny was inclined to use it, he would have done sol by now. Levi asks him about the First King and why he does not want humanness to survive, but Kenny only knows that it was for that reason that the Ackermans opposed him. When Levi, now knowing that his last diagnose is Ackerman, asks Kenny what precisely was he to his mother, Kenny laughs and reveals that he was her older brother, thereby making him Levi ‘s uncle. Shocked, Levi questioned him on why he abandoned him and is told that the argue he left Levi was because he believed he was not fit to be a parent. He gives Levi the serum good earlier dying as Levi looked at his late uncle with a earnest formula. [ 105 ]
After Historia ‘s coronation, Levi is confronted by the newly queen and the members of the special Operations Squad. She punches him, as Dimo Reeves had told her to do, and she dares him to retaliate. alternatively of getting angry however, he smiles and thanks his friends. [ 106 ] Two months former, Levi backs up Historia on providing a family for the poor and orphans, considering that he was from the Underground City a well. [ 107 ] He is present at Trost when Hange Zoë is testing out the executioner from Hell and attends the military meet where Erwin Smith goes over a new excursion to Shiganshina. In a individual follow-up between the heads of the military, Erwin decides to entrust Levi with the Titan injection since he has the highest luck of surviving. It will be Levi ‘s call if and when to use it. [ 108 ]
The following dawn, Instructor Keith Shadis is visited at the train camp by Eren, Hange, Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Sasha, and Levi. The reason for this is that Eren now remembers a past memory where his forefather Dr. Yeager met Keith after the massacre in the Reiss family chapel. Eren asks Keith to tell him everything he knows about his forefather, and they go to a house to talk. Levi remarks that Keith has changed a fortune since they death met, remembering his head fully of hair and then looking at his now bald scalp. [ 109 ] Keith starts by warning them that he knows nothing of Grisha ‘s secrets, but anyhow recounts to them all his experiences with him always since they met 20 years ago, until the day of the fall of Wall Maria after Keith found Eren unconscious in a forest after receiving the Coordinate. A angered Hange tells him that he is not the one who decides if that information is valuable or not and reprimands him for not saying anything about it to the Survey Corps before, prompting Levi to tell Hange to stop. Hange continues to chastise him and is entirely silenced when they are again asked to stop by Eren. [ 110 ]
During a confluence with other members of the Survey Corps, Levi sits mutely and listens to Hange tell Erwin what Keith Shadis explained to them on their sojourn. After the meet is finished, Levi waits until all the other members have left and then shuts the doorway, captive on having a individual conversation with Erwin. He tries to persuade Erwin to sit out on the approaching mission to retake Wall Maria and to leave it to the others, telling him that in his weaken state, Erwin will just be Titan food and that he is not bequeath to carry along any extra baggage. Erwin however explains to Levi that the chain of command must be preserved, and that he has an intense desire to see what is in Grisha ‘s basement, which prompts Levi to threaten to break both of his legs. however, this does not deter Erwin and Levi realizes that he will unfortunately not be able to change Erwin ‘s judgment, even though he fears his death as a injure soldier. [ 111 ]
late that night at a limited ‘red kernel ‘ dinner, Levi breaks up a contend between Eren and Jean by kicking and throwing them both into meekness. He then orders that they and the rest of the Corps to go back to their quarters and go to go to bed. soon after, Eren, Armin and Mikasa talk about their render home and Levi listens to them while in the barn. As he hears Armin ‘s ambitions, his expression is lowered and darkened. [ 112 ] The adjacent day, just earlier sunset, Levi along with the other Survey Corps leaders salute the superior of the administration, including Darius Zackly and Commander Pixis. Levi watches on as the citizens of the Trost District cheer for the Survey Corps and call out his name. He acts modest and calls them selfish before seeing Erwin cheer back at the enthusiastic civilians. right after, the 58th expedition begins, Levi rides out with the Corps at Erwin ‘s side as he glances back at Eren and Mikasa. [ 113 ] Near click, the Survey Corps walk on infantry through a forest on a mountain, leading their horses. Levi questions a hyponym, asking if they are even not at the penetrate of the mountain, worrying that it is about dawn. As Squad Levi talk among themselves, Jean spots a Titan and Hange orders the Corps to halt and illuminate the area, using fragments from the cave below the Reiss Chapel. Hange then states that the Titan is asleep, and the Corps continue. [ 114 ] finally, they reach Shiganshina District and ride in on their horses. Erwin orders the soldiers to be leery of shroud Titans and then orders them to switch to vertical maneuver equipment and begin the mission. The soldiers leave their horses and rush toward the gate to Shiganshina. As Eren arrives atop the inner Wall, he stares at the ruins of his home town. He is quickly urged on by Levi to get to the out gate and the two take off. [ 115 ] As per the plan, 100 soldiers covered by hoods rush to the outer gate to confuse any determine enemies, making certain they do not know which soldier is Eren. Hange and Levi wonder why there are no Titans in the area and Levi claims that they have fallen mighty into the enemy ‘s hands. however, the two agree that they must go forward with the plan anyhow as Eren flies up above the gate and prepares to transform. [ 116 ] After Eren successfully seals the hole in the Wall, Levi reminds him that they have to kill all of their enemies, including Reiner and Bertolt before their mission will truly be finished. [ 117 ]
When Reiner is discovered by one of the Survey Corps members and attempts to attack Armin, Levi attacks Reiner, shoving his blade through the nape of his neck and stabbing him, before kicking him to the ground. After seeing that Reiner survived the brutal fire, Levi angrily laments that he was not able to kill Reiner. While on the ground, Reiner shifts into his Titan mannequin. Levi makes his room rear to Erwin ‘s side, where the latter begins issuing commands. He tasks Levi with helping to protect the horses, believing that Levi is the only soldier he can trust to take out the Beast Titan. He arrives foremost, out of the two squads sent, and immediately kills two Titans, [ 8 ] ordering the soldiers under his command that they can not die. After Bertolt is thrown over the Wall and transforms, Levi and his soldiers are bombarded by a bombard of stones and boulders from the Beast Titan. They retreat to the Wall where Erwin meets them. Levi asks about Eren and Squad Hange ‘s wellbeing, and Erwin informs the soldiers of their increasingly desperate situation. As the young recruits fall into a panic, Levi asks Erwin if he has some kind of plan. [ 118 ] Regarding the site, Levi gives Erwin the advice to save as many lives as possible by “ loading them on Eren ” to make an escape. [ 119 ] Levi continues by saying that he will fight the Beast Titan. Although Levi knows that there is little gamble of a victory, he deduces that there is hush hope for the Survey Corps if Erwin and Eren survive. But for Levi to take down the Beast Titan, Erwin must sacrifice himself and his men. At this sharpen, Erwin is melancholy, but Levi makes the decision and swears that he will take down the Beast Titan after telling his air force officer that he must die for them. [ 120 ] In an undertake to get closer to the Beast Titan, Levi uses the line of Titans around him to his advantage while in an open distance. To his side, he notices Erwin ‘s men following closely behind, fear-stricken as they ride toward their death. [ 121 ]
After Erwin and most of the Survey Corps capitulation when charging the Beast Titan, Levi takes out the surrounding Titans and engages Zeke. After realizing what has happened, Zeke attempts to crush Levi, who merely dodges, slicing up the Titan ‘s sleeve to pieces in the serve. Levi then proceeds to slash the Beast Titan ‘s eyes, blinding it, then cuts up its ankles which causes it to topple over. Slicing open the nape, Levi thrusts his blade into Zeke ‘s mouth, commenting that his body is heavily damaged after transforming into a Titan so Zeke can not transform again while he is interfering healing it. Further thrusting his blade veracious through Zeke ‘s buttock and above his right eye, Levi decides he can not kill him yet, pondering over whether there are anyone silent active who he would use the Titan injection on and have them eat Zeke to steal his Titan power. however, Levi is interrupted and shocked when the Cart Titan snatches Zeke and carries him away in its mouthpiece. Zeke then orders the remaining Titans to kill Levi, but Levi, remembering his promise to Erwin, finds his dissolve and begins to take on the Titans and chase down Zeke. [ 122 ] Levi pursues Zeke and the Cart Titan back to Shiganshina District, where he is stopped by his lack of supplies. He orders Eren to give him all his gas and blades thus that he can continue the chase, but Eren panics and demands that Levi give Armin, who has been mortally wounded, the Titan injection he is carrying. Levi hesitates, but agrees. precisely as he is about to hand Eren the injection, a recruit crawls up onto the roof with Erwin, who is on the brink of death. Levi decides that he will give it to Erwin rather of Armin, which enrages Eren. [ 123 ]
Appalled at Eren and Mikasa, Levi reminds them of how important Erwin ‘s survival is, and orders them not to let their feelings bias their decisiveness. When Eren refuses to step down, Levi forcefully punches his face and knocks him away, before being pinned down by an angered Mikasa. Eren and Mikasa try to convince Levi of Armin ‘s measure, while Floch argues that Levi is discipline to save Erwin, and a contend between them is only narrowly avoided by the arrival of Hange, who pulls Mikasa off of Levi. Levi prepares to inject Erwin, but is given pause by Eren, who tries to sway Levi by telling him of Armin ‘s dream to see the ocean. matthew orders his comrades to leave him entirely while he injects Erwin. [ 124 ] As Levi prepares to inject Erwin, he recalls Armin ‘s conversation with Eren and Mikasa about the ocean, and Erwin ‘s dream to see the secrets locked in Eren ‘s basement. As he begins injecting Erwin, Levi recalls Kenny ‘s final examination words about people becoming slaves to their own desires, and is surprised when Erwin lashes out in his rest, knocking aside the syringe. As he watches Erwin, Levi recalls his order to Erwin to give up on his dreams and fail with the rest of the Survey Corps ‘ recruits, and the look of stand-in on Erwin ‘s face at the club. [ 125 ]
After injecting Armin, Levi watches as Armin ‘s mindless Titan shape devour Bertolt, and explains to a jumble Floch that, after all he has given, it is fourth dimension for Erwin to ultimately rest. Levi attempts to apologize to Erwin for failing to kill the Beast Titan, but Hange informs him that Erwin has already died. [ 126 ] On top of the Wall, Levi notices that Armin has awoken. He fires a signal flare for the soldiers to regroup. He orders Eren to tell Armin about the events that occurred in the by few hours. Armin shows compunction for the measures his comrades have taken for him, but Levi advocates that he should not be regretful. Afterward, Levi follows Eren, Mikasa, and Hange to the Yeager family ‘s basement. When the group find that Eren ‘s key can not open the lock door, Levi proceeds to kick the doorway open. They inspect the basement thoroughly and Mikasa finds a drawer which needs Eren ‘s key to unlock. Initially empty, Levi discovers a false bottom and under it are three hidden books kept entire with assorted preservatives. They open the beginning book and within it they find an uncannily realistic portrait of Grisha standing beside a blue-eyed woman and a child. On the back of it, Grisha had written that it is not an illustration ; it is called a photograph and humanity has not perished. [ 127 ] While serving their punishment in jail cells, Mikasa and Eren discuss the journals and Grisha ’ s memories until Hange, Levi, and Armin interrupt Eren and provoke them about what they were talking about until Levi accuses him of going through a phase as a adolescent and lets them go, claiming that their prison term is being cut short because of their low numbers and their superiors failure to catch the Armored and Beast Titans. [ 128 ] The group, nowadays with Jean, meet Historia subsequently to speak with her after she finishes reading a letter leave to her by Ymir. After the meeting, everyone, including all other military commanders and officials, meet to discuss the late expedition, the journals, and the huge loss of life. [ 129 ] once the information obtained from Eren ‘s basement is released to the earth, Hange and Levi meet with Roy and Peaure to discuss the revelations and how the public are handling it. [ 130 ] The royal government plans for the Survey Corps to be awarded with medals in a ceremony for their fearlessness and achiever. Over hearing a fight breaking out among the younger recruits, Levi cuts in to stop them and tell them to prepare for the beginning of the ceremony. A military consultation gathers in a large room where Historia presents each of the nine soldiers with a decoration of honor in the shape of a dark bolo tie tie with the wings of freedom on it. [ 131 ] Months late, in the summer season, Shiganshina District is once again populate with people as all the Titans had been cleared out. finally, the Survey Corps once again ventures outside of Wall Maria on an expedition for the first meter in six years. They find a trail left by a Titan crawl along the reason, and follow it until they reach the boundary of Paradis Island. here, the Survey Corps sees the ocean for the first time. [ 132 ] Jean, Connie, and Sasha begin splashing and playing while Hange gleefully picks up never-before-seen ocean materials such as coral much to Levi ‘s depress, as he attempts to caution them against touching the body of water. [ 133 ]
One year after the Battle of Shiganshina District, Levi and other members of the Survey Corps make touch with the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers, Yelena and Onyankopon, who rebel against the rest of the Marleyan crew on their embark. The two defectors show Levi and Hange their engineering, and Levi is concerned by how greatly Hange is impressed with Marley ‘s level of advancement. He asks if the defectors would notify Marley that they have eliminated all the Titans on the island, but Yelena says they would not. They are here under orders from Zeke to free the Eldian people. [ 134 ] Levi attends the military confluence to decide whether to cooperate with Zeke and the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers. Though he does not voice an public opinion, he asks Eren why he withheld the information that he could control the Founding Titan ‘s office if he is in contact with a royal-blooded Titan. not wanting to disrupt the meeting, Levi tells Eren they will discuss this late. [ 135 ] Once the Survey Corps agrees to work with Yelena and Onyankopan, Levi assists them in capturing the soldiers sent on future Marleyan expeditions. [ 136 ]
He late participates in the percolation into Marley and the ensuing Raid on Liberio. After the Jaw Titan pilfer behind and jumps on the back of the Attack Titan, Levi takes note and goes to intercept it. The Jaw Titan tries to bite into the neck of the Attack Titan, but Levi severs the muscles in the left field side of its face, rendering it ineffective to rip out the nape. then both Levi and Mikasa engage it, along with many other members of the Survey Corps. The Cart Titan ‘s Panzer Unit makes a surprise attack, eliminating many of the Corps and forcing them to fall binding. Noticing the sudden arrival of Zeke Yeager ‘s Beast Titan, Levi orders the surviving soldiers to regroup and stares down the Beast Titan. [ 137 ]
Levi is on standby as the Beast Titan sends debris flying into the surrounding area. He observes as the Titan calls for him to come out, and belated ambushes it by quickly slicing its nape, knocking it down. matthew proceeds to cut Zeke out of his Titan shape and, before grappling away, throws a bombard into the Beast Titan ‘s nape, detonating it and demoralizing the Marley troops with the assume death of their Warchief. [ 138 ] As the Survey Corps retreat, Levi helps Eren aboard the airship and then kicks him into the wall and places him under collar. [ 139 ] He takes Eren to a back room where Zeke and his attendant Yelena are. Both he and Zeke exchange insults when two stowaways are brought to them ; he listens to Hange and mutely agrees when Hange states that Eren made the integral Paradis Island a target due to his actions in Marley. [ 140 ] once they return to the island, Levi rides into the city in a carriage with Zeke. He mock threatens to kill Zeke, send his cadaver back to Marley, and then reveal everything about his plot, which would spell the end for his grandparents. however, Levi admits angstrom hanker as Zeke ‘s “ secret plan ” is real, he is volition to wait a little longer before slicing him to pieces. [ 141 ]
Levi escorts Zeke to a Titan Forest with a issue of soldiers explaining that it will not be easy for him to escape from such an environment. Zeke asks Levi if he can show the trees to Gabi and Falco, but Levi responds that it depends on his own actions. [ 142 ] Despite his reservations, Levi is convinced by his subordinates to allow them to drink wine imported from Marley while they are guarding Zeke in the forest. [ 143 ]
Zeke late tells Levi about the method acting he had used to turn the people of Ragako into Titans. After the explanation finishes, Levi admonishes Zeke for his lack of guilt, and tells him that he intelligibly has no concern for human life. He is shaken murder and told not to assume how he felt. Zeke changes the subject by asking when he will be allowed to carry out his experiment with Eren. Levi tells him that this is not his call, but both agree that it would be a mistake to wait around excessively long. [ 144 ] After a Survey Corps messenger arrives at the camp, Varis notifies Levi that Darius Zackly has been assassinated and besides informs him of Commander Pixis ‘s design to deal with the Yeagerists. Dismayed to hear that his friends and comrades have basically died for nothing to protect Eren, Levi tells them they are altering the plan. He suggests they capture one of the Yeagerists and force them to eat Zeke ; then when Historia gives birth respective months from now and is ready to inherit, they will feed the Yeagerist to her. matthew orders Varis to go inform Pixis and descends from the tree. Despite the holes in this plan, Levi admits to himself that he does not care about Pixis ‘s answer. [ 145 ]
After trading a few barb with Zeke, Levi gets lost in his thoughts. He considers how he will soon fulfill the vow he made to Erwin during the Battle of Shiganshina and give mean to his dead person comrades. Turning about, he notices Zeke running into the forest ; before Levi can react, however, Zeke lets out a pierce shout. He looks on in horror as the numerous Survey Corps soldiers above him begin to fall out of the trees and transform into Titans. [ 146 ] Levi is caught off defend but comes to his senses in fourth dimension to avoid one of the Titans charging him. Remembering how his subordinates insisted they enjoy the wine offered and Zeke ‘s remark on it from earlier, Levi theorizes that the wine was indeed the probable cause of the soldiers transforming. [ 147 ] Noticing these Titans are faster and more unpredictable, he reflects on if his subordinates are however inside and conscious of their actions. As the Titans swarm around him in midair, Levi closes his eyes. [ 148 ]
Levi slaughters his former subordinates and collects several Thunder Spears before chasing down Zeke. Catching up with him, Levi kills one of Zeke ‘s three Titan escorts and meets Zeke ‘s gaze with a homicidal attend. Levi cursorily dispatches another of the Titans before Zeke transforms into the Beast Titan. [ 149 ] As Zeke butchers the final Titan and throws the bloody pieces at him, Levi dodges Zeke ‘s fire while chopping up large tree branches to hide himself in mid-air. He criticizes Zeke for not anticipating that he would be able of killing his chap soldiers. [ 150 ]
Falling towards Zeke, Levi fires and hits Zeke ‘s nape with four Thunder Spears before cursorily detonating them. Cutting Zeke ‘s mangled and burned consistency from his Titan form, Levi insults him before dragging him out of the forest. [ 151 ] When the tied up Zeke awakens inside a horse-drawn cart, Levi instructs him to not move, revealing that he has placed the tip of a Thunder Spear inside his abdomen and attached the fuse around his neck. Levi chastises Zeke for killing his men, before starting to cut off chunks of his legs. Hearing Zeke shout, Levi shouts at him to shut up, explaining that this has to be done to prevent him from becoming a Titan. Zeke decrepit asks where his glasses are but Levi brushes it aside, stating he would no long be needing them. [ 152 ]
While Levi steers the cart, Zeke begins muttering about his plan to euthanize Eldia in order to ensure the global ‘s safety. Hearing this, Levi begins mocking him, saying that his impending death at the hands of a Titan is besides merciful when considering the lives he has taken. Zeke weakly protests that he was saving their children from support in a barbarous world, prompting Levi to angrily prepare to cut off his leg again. Terrified, Zeke pulls the peg on the Thunder Spear lodged in his abdomen ; a shock Levi is unable to react and is caught in the leave explosion. [ 153 ] The two of them are launched from the cart, and Levi is sent hurling towards a nearby river. [ 154 ] Levi ‘s unconscious body is found soon afterwards by Hange and a group of Yeagerists. When a soldier suggests shooting Levi, Hange insists that he is already dead, prompting Floch to request that he be allowed to check for a pulse. [ 155 ] Before Floch can check, he is distracted by the sight of Zeke emerging from a nearby Titan, allowing Hange to grab Levi ‘s body and dive into the river to escape. [ 156 ] Since he was near Zeke when the Thunder Spear was activated, Levi ‘s confront is sternly scarred by the leave debris ; in addition, Levi besides lost two of the fingers on his right hand. Levi is finally awakened from his coma by a message sent by Eren to all Subjects of Ymir announcing his intentions to destroy the world outside of Paradis. The two resoluteness to find a way to stop Eren, and Hange creates a improvised transport for Levi to be moved in. [ 157 ]
As Levi is being transported, they cross paths with the Cart Titan and a Marleyan general. Hange approaches the two, insisting that they and Levi are harmless. [ 158 ] Levi negotiates with the soldiers, pointing out that they have a park goal in killing Zeke. reluctantly, the soldiers agree to work together. [ 159 ] During the twilight en road to harbor, Levi attempts to rest but is awakened by the disturbance being made by the others in the clique. [ 160 ] After dawn, Levi would stay behind with the noncombatants as his allies confront the Yeagerists at the harbor. [ 161 ] Having decided to transport the flying boat to the Marleyan coastal city of Odiha, Levi and the others head towards the Azumabito ‘s ship on top of the Cart Titan. [ 162 ] After arriving in Odiha, Armin finds Levi walking despite his injuries. Levi refuses to rest any longer and insists on interrogating Yelena about Eren ‘s adjacent address. Yelena claims that Eren is going to Fort Salta, but Levi is concerned by her sudden cooperation .
As the group prepares to depart Odiha, Levi prepares himself for conflict despite his injuries ; when the others wonder how he will able to fight with only two fingers on one hand, Levi brushes their concerns digression and merely states he will manage all right. He ridicules Hange for failing to make friends with Pieck, but becomes concerned when his commanding officer begins musing about their fallen comrades. Preparations are interrupted by Floch, who arrives in the flying boat ‘s airdock damaging its fuel cooler, necessitating repairs. Eren ‘s Titans arrive as the repairs are being made and Hange volunteers to hold them off while the embark departs. Levi stops Hange only long enough to tell them to dedicate their heart. [ 163 ] As the flying boat reaches Eren it comes under fire from the Beast Titan. Levi and his comrades startle from the gravy boat and use their manoeuver gear to evade the Beast ‘s projectiles before engaging it directly. [ 164 ] The Beast is promptly defeated, but Zeke is nowhere to be found. The group decides to retreat to a safe distance indeed Armin can transform and try to uncover Zeke with the blast, but the plan is interrupted when an army of Titans begins generating on Eren ‘s back and absconds with Armin. Levi reassures his team that Armin is safe and sound, as he would have transformed otherwise, and begins devising a plan to act as bait for the Titans while the perch of the group tries to save him. Pieck attempts to kill Eren but is defeated by the Titans, and Levi orders the remaining soldiers to pursue Armin as he is their only hope of stopping more Titans from appearing. The group does not make it far before Bertolt ‘s Colossus Titan appears. The Colossus disables Reiner ‘s Titan and then throws it at the group, knocking them off Eren ‘s Titan. Levi is left besides injured by the impingement to move, but manages to use the last of his strength to save Connie from being devoured by a Titan. however, his leg is caught in the Titan ‘s jaw and Mikasa is forced to save him. Passing out from pain, Levi begins to fall and is alone saved when Connie manages to catch him. The stallion group is saved by the seasonably arrival of Falco, who has learned to fly with his Jaw Titan imprint. [ 165 ] A disagreement begins atop Falco ‘s Titan over whether to attack Eren ‘s nape or save Armin inaugural and Levi makes the decision to split up and do both. Mikasa tries to protest, but Levi insists that they are no longer in a position where they can care about Eren ‘s wellbeing. As his allies disembark Falco to begin their objectives, Levi laments the fact that he is excessively injure to help. As he reflects on his inability to carry out Erwin ‘s final order and kill Zeke, Levi begins to wonder why his companion all dedicated themselves to the Survey Corps ‘ mission. As he remembers his comrades, Levi asserts that he does not regret saving Armin ‘s life over Erwin ‘s, since Armin has always had the like attend in his eyes that his fallen comrades did. [ 166 ]
As he observes the struggle from Falco ‘s Titan Levi is perplexed to see a handful of the Titans begin to defend his comrades from the rest of the Titans. He is immediately brought out of his grogginess by the sight of Zeke emerging from Eren ‘s spur and calling out to him. Without hesitation, Levi decapitates Zeke before returning to Falco. [ 167 ] The group returns to Salta while Armin transforms atop Eren ‘s Titan. From the fort they are relieved to see that Reiner has survived, but are dismayed to see that both Eren and the beginning of all living matter have survived equally well. Connie suggests killing the source, but Levi insists that they have been left with no other choice than to kill Eren. Before they can attack Eren again, the informant begins emitting smoke that billows into the fort. Realizing that the smoke is going to transform the Eldians give into Titans, Levi cursorily orders Mikasa and Pieck to leave the fortress with him on Falco so that they are not put in risk by the Titans. Pieck departs to help Reiner fight the centipede while Falco takes Levi and Mikasa directly to Eren. Mikasa deduces that Eren is inside his Titan ‘s mouth and Levi uses a thunder Spear to make a way for her to get inside and kill him. [ 168 ] As the ability of the Titans is done for and the Eldian families begin to reunite with each other, Levi rests against a rock. He sees a vision of his fallen comrades watching him and asks if they were able to see the resultant role of their work. The soldiers salute him in reception and Levi returns the salute. In the three years following the conflict at Salta, Levi takes up mansion in Marley. His injuries leave him permanently wheelchair-bound and he is attended to by Gabi and Falco. [ 169 ]
Abilities
Levi is unbelievably adept at using the vertical maneuver equipment, to a point that everyone says he is the best at it ; flush after losing respective of his fingers, Levi was still able to utilize the equipment about american samoa well as ahead. He is besides said to be arsenic valuable as an entire brigade, far outweighing all of the other soldiers. [ 1 ] Furthermore, he was considered extremely potent even before joining the Survey Corps. He has shown the capability of incapacitating the Female Titan by moving besides fast for her to defend, something which whole squads and even Eren in his Titan form could not accomplish. [ 170 ] He even defeated Zeke Yeager in his Beast Titan form, who is one of Marley army ‘s strongest Warriors and an extremely adept Titan. Neither of these assaults are without some degree of prior planning and situational advantage, as the Female Titan was tired out from multiple conflicts in the span of a few hours, and Levi had engaged Zeke by storm, getting excessively close to defend against before Zeke noticed. That said, Levi ‘s full abilities with his blades are however frightful, able to carve the Beast Titan ‘s arm into multiple clean pieces so fast they fell in unison. Nonetheless, Levi has proven himself able of taking on powerful possessors of the power of the Titans in a one-on-one situation where his erect maneuver equipment can be utilized to its utmost. For example, as seen when Levi bested Zeke again in a afforest terrain where his upright equipment could be by rights employed. [ 171 ]
persuasiveness
Levi has formidable forcible intensity, which is no doubt discernible by his mastery of the vertical steer equipment. Despite his small stature, his body is well built with grave brawn, making him identical strong, and well able to defeat his opponents. At one point, Levi intercepts one of the Female Titan ‘s attacks, by using her hand to launch himself towards her sass before she could hit Mikasa. [ 172 ] This does not stop him from injuring himself though .
intelligence
away from his extraordinary battle skill, Levi has shown a heavy ability to cursorily analyze situations, and make count decisions in the heat of struggle. This has given him the ability to save himself and his comrades on many occasions such as when he realizes the Female Titan can not be killed easily because of her clamber hardening and regenerative abilities, and subsequently saves Mikasa when she tries to slay the Female Titan herself, [ 172 ] or the time when he fights Kenny Ackerman inside a bar, using chairs, a double-barreled shotgun and even corpses to stop his adversaries. [ 173 ] however, Levi admits that he does not believe a person can be right all the clock time, and some scenarios are beyond a person ‘s see.

Being a extremity of the Ackermans, Levi has “ awakened ” a dormant might within himself earlier in his life sentence that he describes as “ knowing precisely what needs to be done. ” [ 175 ] This besides prevents him from having his memory wiped. [ 176 ]
Sword-Wielding technique
Levi has an strange fight position that involves holding his right sword backhanded with the blade facing out and being behind him alternatively of in front of him. By doing this, the blades cut in a “ encircle ” around him, and give him the ability to utilize spin and other rotating attacks, allowing him to maintain incredible accelerate and agility while fighting. At the like time, this helps him keep his energy up without wasting stamen and strength needlessly, enabling him to fight for longer periods of fourth dimension and take multiple targets out simultaneously. [citation needed] This reverse-grip technique may have been inspired by Kenny Ackerman ‘s lessons on knife-wielding, in which Levi learned at a young age how to hold a blade in a overrule grip. [ 177 ]
Thunder Spears
Levi does not seem to favor using Thunder Spears, since he does not carry them during the foray into on Liberio, reverse to the other members of the Survey Corps ‘s footing forces. [ 178 ] however, he is competent adequate with them to blow Zeke out of his Beast Titan ‘s nape when Zeke tries to escape after turning Levi ‘s soldiers into Titans. [ 179 ]
Relationships
- Kuchel Ackerman – It is presumed that Levi was able to bond with his mother to some degree before her death when he was very young. While it has not been confirmed, It is believed that he was able to recognize that she was ill and had passed away due to the somber look on his face when his uncle Kenny discovered Kuchel’s body.
- Kenny Ackerman – Kenny looked out for Levi during his childhood and taught him the skills needed to survive in the underground city. He told Levi that he was a friend of his deceased mother.[180] However, he eventually abandoned him due to believing that someone like him was not fit to be a parent.[181] Years later, they had an antagonist relationship due to being on opposite sides of the coup d’état.[81] When Kenny finally laid dying, Levi found him and the latter gave information about the Ackerman clan and revealed that he was really the older brother of Levi’s mother, making him Levi’s uncle. Levi was shocked to learn this and questioned his reason for abandoning him. In his last words, Kenny stated he was unfit to be a parent, and Levi then watched solemnly as his uncle died.[182]
- Erwin Smith – Levi and Erwin’s relationship was not initially an amicable one. Erwin eventually became one of the few people Levi places full trust in, obeying his every command and judgment.[51] However, this did not stop Levi from speaking in his usual rude manner around him.[183] Erwin was also one of the few people that could maintain a casual conversation with Levi, able to exchange brief banter with one another on equal grounds.[184] Levi was very angered after Erwin was killed by Zeke, and years later, Levi held onto his promise to Erwin that he would kill the Beast Titan.
- Hange Zoë – Levi was introduced to Hange during his first expedition as part of the Survey Corps. He immediately snubbed Hange’s attempts at getting to know him, but their relationship would eventually improve over the years[185] and the two became on better terms, though Levi was still annoyed by Hange’s obsession with capturing Titans, and disliked their recklessness.[186] Levi had gradually become more familiar with Hange, able to comfortably reach out and reprimand them when they got too carried away.[187] After years of working side by side, the two shared a strong bond of trust, and Levi did not doubt any theories they may have had on the Titans, even if he disliked them.[188]
- Eren Yeager – As humanity’s strongest soldier, Levi commands great respect from Eren.[189] Upon encountering Eren personally, Levi treated him like an animal, wary of his Titan shifting power, though he was impressed by Eren’s passion.[190] Upon getting to know him, Levi began treating Eren as he does most others: dismissively and coldly. However, Levi also becomes a mentor of sorts to Eren, understanding the potential good the young recruit is capable of, and offering advice during Eren’s moments of doubt.[191] He later becomes more patient with Eren, forgiving his mistakes, and nurturing his growth as a soldier, and as a vanguard for humanity’s hope.[192] Eren’s assault on Liberio, and the formation of the Yeagerists leaves Levi dismayed at how Eren has turned out.[citation needed] When facing the army Titans Eren has recreated on his Founding Titan, Levi laments that they cannot worry about Eren’s safety and that they must kill him, stating there were many things he wished to say to him.[193]
- Mikasa Ackerman – Mikasa quickly took a disliking to Levi, one of the first actions she witnesses is of him beating Eren at his military trial.[194] Since then, Mikasa held a grudge against Levi, swearing to one day make him pay for his actions.[195] She would later lash out at Levi, blaming him for Eren’s capture by the Female Titan, and her carelessness would later result in Levi needing to rescue her at the cost of injuring his leg.[196] While sidelined, Levi repeatedly offers advice to Mikasa, who deeply regrets her mistake and endeavors to protect Eren in his place.[197][198] By the time of the Survey Corps’ rebellion, Mikasa has largely set aside her bitterness for Levi, choosing to trust his leadership.[199] Levi and Mikasa share the same physical and intellectual traits. The two share the last name Ackerman, indicating both hail from the same bloodline.[200][201]
- Armin Arlert – Armin seems to greatly respect Levi for his incredible skills and ability to fight Titans. In turn, Levi has grown to acknowledge Armin’s impressive deductive skills and ability to form plans. Despite his general coldness towards others, Levi has given Armin emotional support whenever he doubts himself: this was first seen after Armin killed an enemy soldier to protect Jean, and while Levi admits it was still murder, he thanks Armin for ensuring that every member of his squad survived.[202] Then, after learning Armin was given the injection instead of Erwin and wondering why he was saved when Erwin was the most logical choice, Levi tells Armin that he has powers and skills that no one else does.[203]
- Petra Ral – Petra served under Levi in the Survey Corps and was later hand-picked by him to be in his first Special Operations Squad. She harbored a deep respect for him and was proud to be a part of his team. Levi seemed to trust her and her capabilities as a soldier, as she held one of the highest records for killing Titans (48 assist kills and 10 solo kills). After Petra was killed by the Female Titan, Levi guarded her body until the Corps had to retreat back to the Wall and was horrified after her father informed him of her intentions to dedicate her life to serving him and the squad, possibly because her father assumed that she had feelings for him.
- Zeke Yeager – As the Beast Titan and superior to Annie, Reiner and Bertolt, Zeke serves as one of Levi’s greatest enemies. In turn, Levi’s status as humanity’s strongest soldier made him a priority target for Zeke to eliminate. During the battle of Shiganshina, Levi blinded and severely wounded Zeke. In vengeance, he told the remaining Titans to kill Levi. Levi surprised Zeke not only by his survival but by having followed him all the way to the location of Eren Yeager. Zeke realized Levi was too much and decided to fall back and leave Paradis Island with Reiner Braun after abandoning Bertolt Hoover. Four years later, Levi helps lead a surprise attack on Marley and as soon as he is spotted, Zeke does not hesitate to order Levi killed. Despite their coordination in the attack, Levi’s hatred of Zeke remains as strong as before, yet is able to act relatively civil towards him, albeit with their conversations frequently peppered with insults. However, Levi still possesses a strong desire to kill Zeke but admits he will tolerate him for the time being.[141] This tolerance is gone after Zeke transforms Levi’s subordinates into Titans in an attempt to escape; after killing them and crippling Zeke, Levi immediately begins torturing him and makes it clear he will kill him slowly. When given the opportunity to slay Zeke, Levi does not hesitate and decapitates him without remorse.[167]
