If Eren deserved to die, Levi deserved to live.
#CAPTAIN LEVI TITAN SERIES#
Levi's survival adds to this feeling his continuing existence giving more meaning to both his own story and the series as a whole. The ending of Attack on Titan, despite the loss of Eren and the lingering unrest in Paradis, is a far more hopeful one than you'd expect for the pitch-black, fantasy epic. It's certainly true that Levi's death in the final chapter was allowable, having fulfilled his pledge to give his friends' deaths justification and now, finally able to rest, but wouldn't have been as impactful. Hange's sacrifice, becoming the sole line of defense against the Wall Titans to allow their allies to flee, was crushing (no awful pun intended.) but a fitting tribute to their bravery. Alongside Eren getting his head blown off (the first time) by Gabi, Levi's death here would have only really served to cement the series' lowest 'All Is Lost' moment an effective way to induce an emotional response in the reader, but not a gratifying end to Levi's own story.Įrwin's death greatly aided Zeke's near-defeat the first time around as well as Levi's personal development. This may have included enhanced healing, though not nearly to the same level as an actual Titan Shifter. Levi, meanwhile, also had a blood advantage in his Ackerman heritage - a derivative of Eldian genes that gives humans the strength of a Titan without actually being one. The two had their first encounter when the newly formed Special Operations Squad held their first meeting after Levi personally handpicked Petra as one of his members. Levi was Petras captain and Petra his subordinate. Zeke survived by virtue of being a Subject of Ymir and, seemingly, the Beast Titan holder, which drew his distant ancestor Ymir Fritz's attention. Rivetra is the het ship between Levi Ackerman and Petra Ral from the Attack on Titan fandom. To the latter point, he consistently made for the perfect, dour foil to Eren's idealistic recklessness, from his pithy put-downs to kicks to the face.
An orphan raised by a sadistically talented murderer, not the main protagonist and labeled " humanity's strongest," Levi had all the makings of a Grim Reaper-baiting, shonen frenemy. Infamous for its shock, insta-kill moments - often compared to the bloodthirsty nature of George R.R Martin's Game of Thrones - Attack on Titan couldn't have put a larger death flag over the fan-favorite Captain if it tried, which is why it's all the more surprising that he survived in the end. Now in a wheelchair, he makes his way through a modernized Paradis Island with Marley's Gabi and Falco in tow, presumably en-route to give his testimony, alongside his former comrades, during the ongoing negotiations to secure world peace. Instead, as Attack on Titan skips ahead in time for its epilogue, we discover that Levi has indeed lived on. Related: Attack on Titan Studio MAPPA Addresses Animator Pay Controversy
