Hi Idk If You've Answered Smth Similar Before But Who Do You Think Among 104th Was Closest Or Maybe Most

Hi idk if you've answered smth similar before but who do you think among 104th was closest or maybe most impacted by levi ? I would go for jean or armin but would love to hear your thoughts.

Ps : I love you and your analysis posts keep doing them ❤never give clowns the time of day

Hi there!

I have answered similar questions to this, haha. Jean is the character that comes to mind first when I think of who Levi had the biggest impact on. I actually fairly recently wrote a post about the relationship between Levi and Jean, and specifically, Levi's influence on Jean, which you can read here:

Tumblr

How "Attack on Titan" Advocates Through Levi and Jean the Superiority of Remaining Human over Becoming a Monster:

There’s an idea presented early on in “Attack on Titan”, which revolves around the concept of needing to become a monster in order to defeat

I think Levi had a significant impact on pretty much everyone, though. Armin, for sure. I think Armin actually understands Levi better than any of the other members of the 104th, because I think each of them are actually really similar, particularly in regards to the way both of them values life and sees life as innately valuable, without needing any, great purpose to make it so. There's also the fact that, out of everyone, Armin understood early on the kind of selfishness inherent in clinging to a sense of moral righteousness at the expense of others. This idea of maintaining our "moral purity" by refusing to get our hands dirty, and how, ultimately, that can cause more harm than good. Armin suffers from deep insecurity and a sense of self-loathing, so he refuses to call himself a good person, but I think he, as well as Levi, are both objectively good people, and part of that goodness is manifest in the way neither of them prioritizes their ability to call themselves good people over actually helping people, i.e. actually being good people. Even if it means having to live with blood on their hands and the pain of that, the way that can eat away at their sense of self-identity, they're both willing to do it without hesitation so long as it means no one else has to.

I also think Levi has a huge impact on Mikasa. Mikasa started out being pretty single minded and self-interested. Her entire reason for joining the SC was because she wanted to be with Eren, and her desire for that was the main motivator behind a lot of her actions early on. But as the story progresses, Mikasa gradually learns to start letting that motivation go, and starts genuinely caring about and fighting for others, until by the end, she gives up on her dream of being with Eren completely, by taking his life for the sake of humanity. I think Mikasa learned a lot of her selflessness from Levi, who's entire character is largely defined by selflessness. Levi never does anything for himself. Everything he does has always been for the benefit of others, fighting to save lives, to prove his fellow comrades sacrifices weren't in vain, fighting for the dreams of others, lending his strength to those dreams, rather than having or fighting for any dream of his own. That's been true of Levi since "No Regrets". I think Levi letting Erwin go sort of set the blueprint for Mikasa later doing the same with Eren. Not that Levi's relationship with Erwin was the same as Mikasa's with Eren, but Erwin was a very important person to Levi, for reasons I've spoken about at length, and he let Erwin go for Erwin's sake. People always say this decision was selfish, but it was actually the exact opposite. Levi lost someone that he relied on to guide him. It was a completely selfless sacrifice, one born out of compassion, made to end the suffering of a fellow human being. That's a lot like Mikasa letting go of Eren. She lost the person she loved and dreamed of spending her life with, and she chose to lose him to save what remained of humanity.

Anyway, thank you for your kind words and I hope my answer was what you were looking for!

i use tiktok mostly just to post my own edits and see my mutuals stuff now bc im sick of the fandom on there. most of them clearly watched the show with their head up their ass or smth because they’re manage to come up with the most simultaneously hilarious and horrible takes ever.

also because not a single one of them can take bertholdt’s character seriously without rehashing the exact same name jokes i’ve heard since i joined the fandom in 2021. like sure some are funny but it gets so old so quickly, and when you make a post actually going into his character and being a bit more serious the comments are just “poor [some word beginning with b]” like PLEASE SHUT UP FOR A MOMENT!!!

literally had to put in the caption of one of my bert videos “stfu about his name for once” bc i knew the kind of comments i’d receive if i didn’t.

this fandom rather completely forgets his character (who is extremely important to the plot and towards the entire character of reiner but that’s a whole other thing), hates him for what he did even tho they love reiner/annie, or they treat him like a joke and never bother to go past surface level with his character.

he is the most interesting warrior imo because he was the first to openly admit and see that all the fighting was stupid and pointless. that the paradis eldians were no different from him and him killing them wasn’t personal, it was what had to be done to save his father. there’s alot more to him but im worried this will become like 3k words if i dont stop but most of the fandom can’t even comprehend that its actually ridiculous.

people treat him like absolute shit because he died first and he was weak when firstly shut the fuck up?? he was not weak in the slightest and had the most powerful titan ability bar the actual fucking founding titan. like oh my god. and other people say “oh he was too attached to reiner” dog that’s the point. of his character. oh my god.

idk i think im just sick of the fandom treating him like this. he and connie are imo the most overlooked characters in the entire animanga.

and don’t even get me started on how shit both him and connie are treated in official arts and stuff bc. wow

I know it's not just me who thinks Bertholdt is definitely more stronger than Reiner 🤷🏻‍♂️

I feel like he's so much more stronger than Reiner, both mentally and physically, I MEAN COME ON HE'S LITERALLY 6'4 💔, i feel like he just mostly held back alot during training to not attract that much attention on him and also, he's like very shy.

Even Keith Shadis said he has potential but he just lack the aggression and the initiave to make a decision by himself. I truly believe if he wasn't as timid as he was, he would've took the number two spot in the cadet corps 🙏🏻, also he literally was trusted to hold the power of the colossal titan? So i think that speaks for itself 🙂‍↕️

We saw a glimpse of how strong he was in the RTS Arc, where he was left to make all the decision by himself, AND WE CAN SEE HOW STRONG AND SKILLED HE TRULY WAS. He literally DODGED Mikasa's surprise attack from behind AND HE MANAGED TO KICK HER TOO!!! Like he was strong enough to dodge and hurt an ACKERMAN, and he only injured his ear in the process. Even Mikasa was shocked with Bertholdt's strength because she has actually never seen him in his full potential.

I MISS YOU MY GLORIOUSLY KING BERTHOLDT, PLEASE COME BACK HOME 💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😞😞😞😞🙁🙁🙁🙁☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

Sasha: Fake Positivity- "I'll be honest, I don't wanna trust you, don't wanna lose you, but I think I like you."

Levi: Repair- "Everyone close to me is not near, what can I do to repair this? Is there any purpose? Is it too late to say I'm sorry again?"

Erwin: Goodnight- "If I die here, bury me and everything I leave as the fear slowly takes a part of me. I hope you see a different side of me as I leave, as I say goodnight."
