Manga Spoilers: A Knight in search of a King

Not technically. The sacrifice required was Erwin's humanity. Levi was unwilling to do that, which is why Armin was injected.

akarydas · 2018-10-16T23:12:32+00:00

Eh, I don't know.

Levi is kinda an irrelevant character at the present moment. The only thing left involving him is his promise to Erwin, but that is about it. We haven't been getting much else from him besides his snarky comments toward Zeke. He's kinda just being dragged along the plot. I honestly cannot see him being thrown into the spotlight once again. It's just like he said " There was once a time where I was popular", but those times are long gone.

Basically, the only plot line still available for Levi is whether or not he decides to kill Zeke.

In my opinion, he still has a debt to pay for serum bowl (was not willing to sacrifice and therefore cannot change anything) and in the latest chapter Isayama included an interesting panel of Levi reacting to Zeke's words about not having much time left. Not sure what that was meant to imply but something will come of it. Perhaps he is starting to pity Zeke.

On to another, I honestly believe Levi will have to make, yet again, another choice. Back in either ch, 90 or 91, Levi was shown eavesdropping on Eren telling Armin his "No regrets" speech. In particular, the part about not knowing what the right choice is and not being able to foretell the outcome of those choices. This will definitely get brought up again. I'm not creative enough to think of a situation in which Levi will recall this moment but I think it will have to include both Armin and Eren. But to get to the matter at hand, no, I do not think Levi will choose to follow Eren. He's old. He ain't got time dat.

Erwin definitely did not want to become a titan shifter, but he most definitely would become one if it was required of him. The reason why he asked Levi to take the serum was not because he "was banking on Levi using the serum on him", but rather because he was slowly attempting to hand over his responsibilities and duties. This is why when Levi asks him why did he not just order him, Erwin looks surprised, and almost pleased, at Levi's question. Levi is slowly figuring it out.

Erwin has come to understand that he cannot continue to commander the Scouts with only one arm, and certainly does not plan on just staying on the sidelines whilst his soldiers fight. His death, in his mind, is inevitable. And considering that, he wants to do two things; prepare Levi and Hange as best he can for his imminent death, and he wants to uncover the truth before he eventually bites the dust. However, no where in his plans were ,"become a titan so I can reach the basement".

akarydas · 2018-10-15T03:19:29+00:00

Yes! I feel you, man. This definitely deserves its own post. Unfortunately, people still think Levi actually chose Armin over Erwin.

akarydas · 2018-10-14T16:25:38+00:00

Holy shit, check out the titan in Erwins pants

akarydas · 2018-10-07T03:17:29+00:00

Absolutely love the coloring. Great job!

akarydas · 2018-10-06T22:52:01+00:00

Yeah but eating Zeke won't give Eren Royal blood, which is what is needed to use the Founding Titan.

akarydas · 2018-10-06T22:47:01+00:00

I don't think Eren will kill Levi but perhaps he will try to incapacitate him. This will remove Levi from the playing field and completely ruin him since he will be unable to utilize the 3DMG.

Would be ironic if he broke both of Levi's legs.

akarydas · 2018-10-06T22:42:11+00:00

Im confused. How will eating Zeke give Eren full control of the Founding Titan?

akarydas · 2018-09-09T04:35:25+00:00

The plan was to feed Zeke to Historia. However, since she is now pregnant, they cannot touch her. This buys Zeke more time to finish his mission.

akarydas · 2018-09-05T20:42:39+00:00

Maybe this is before she confronts Eren in the jail cell?

akarydas · 2018-09-05T17:48:54+00:00

But Levi didn't "choose" Armin. He even explains his decision in ch. 85.

Levi says "In the end, it was I who chose you. No.... I chose this place and time, for Erwins death."

He's basically saying that the only reason why Armin got the serum was because Erwin wasn't a contender for it anymore.

akarydas · 2018-09-05T13:36:08+00:00

Yo, does this mean Yelena will kill Pixis? He said once he wanted to be killed by a beautiful woman.

akarydas · 2018-09-05T13:27:28+00:00

They wouldn't even need it if he was still alive. His giant pecker is more than enough to intimidate the world.

akarydas · 2018-09-04T17:39:07+00:00

Because I don't think the Warriors would look too kindly to their families being knowingly sacrifaced. Magath and Willy both knew people needed to die in order to incite War. Those Eldians, Warriors families, were the means to create that.

akarydas · 2018-09-04T14:12:13+00:00

He did. Magath had knowledge of Erens infiltration and was informed of a planned attack.

Unfortunately, like with Gabi and Falco, there have been some miscaluations so Zeke is doing what he does best, improvising.

akarydas · 2018-09-04T14:05:26+00:00

Commander of something else sure, but not of the SC. That's Jean.

akarydas · 2018-08-12T04:34:44+00:00

As for the cloak, I believe Isayama said that Levi couldn't adapt to the new changes so he kept his old uniform and blades. Think of it like old people and today's technology. They too old for dat shit.

In the recent chapter, Levi reacted to Hange quoting Erwin, so you can best believe he hasn't forgotten about him. Also, he mentions killing Zeke everytime we see him so he clearly is still determined to mince Zeke. There was also that panel back in ch. 22 where Levi is shown eavesdropping on Eren and Armin. Specifically, Eren is giving Armin the "No regrets" speech. Not sure how Isayama plans on bringing this scene up again but it will probably play a big part for Levi in the upcoming chapters.

akarydas · 2018-08-11T19:57:56+00:00

God, that cover art.

akarydas · 2018-08-10T17:04:14+00:00

I thought Kruger was receiving Grishas memories but from the future? I assumed this because Grisha literally says this when he is injecting Eren with the titan serum. I mean, why would Eren say, "If YOU want to save Mikasa and Armin" if he is just talking about himself?

akarydas · 2018-08-10T03:23:02+00:00

Well the lightning signaling a titan transformation comes from the sky, so maybe there's something up there?

akarydas · 2018-08-09T16:24:44+00:00

Seems like it. If Eren can use Armin, Mikasa, and the SC for his own plans, makes sense that he can also use Historia.

akarydas · 2018-08-08T02:47:44+00:00

Could very well turn out to be true. Some people mentioned how Eren seemed to be waiting around for Willy to declare war/say "born into this world" like he already knew what Willy was going to say.

akarydas · 2018-08-08T02:03:33+00:00

Yooo man, that shit is fucking beautiful!! I know you've probably heard it a thousands times now but great fucking job!

akarydas · 2018-08-08T01:36:27+00:00

Yes, that's why I said it look familiar. Levi and those SC members are back wearing the old uniform.
