Why does Levi survive the Attack on Titan finale? If you think otherwise let
me know. So juicy Attack on Titan topic and a lot to bite into for this Levi
Ackerman discussion. I'm still surprised at just how many people got fooled by
others or perhaps tricked themselves into believing Levi actually died. No
chance no way that Isayama was gonna rub off one of the most popular Attack on
Titan characters off screen. This isn't Scout Ymir. This is Levi franking
Ackerman. Besides there's still more than a few things that Levi needs to finish
off so definitely smash out like if you want
Levi to live on or if you just want to smash to Levi. First off a huge thank

Come on he looks super badass! Anyway getting into this in-depth discussion on
Levi Ackerman. While I'm going through this definitely post your own Levi's
endgame wish. Let's see if Santa Isayama delivers. Levi has really come such a
long way. He's gone from being that fragile kid in the Underground rising
into becoming humanity's strongest. Levi at this point has outlived and survived
every single scout besides Hange. Fast forward a beast Titan sushi time and
four years later you had Levi bringing down the Beast Titan again not once but
two more beatdowns. Doesn't matter that one of those was staged. Things were
going all fine and dandy until Attack on Titan chapter 114.
Perhaps Isayama stepped on a Lego or just had a nasty troll fan letter cuz he
gave Levi the ride of his life. Kaboom super monkey explosion go. Oh yes
I mean oh no Levi has finally been de-powered. Very important key note Levi did
not get killed off. Almost a year later after that explosion
finally an update on the grim adventures of Hange and the bloody Levi. Levi
officially is it evolved into mummy mode. The guy is now like the slimy bloody
caterpillar cocoon. Just wait he's gonna bloom into this beautiful
butterfly a few chapters later and I'm only half joking on that. Could you
freaking imagine you got Annie got a shocking wake up from the Eren alarm
clock. By the way the most important part Levi is alive besides some obvious money
reasons to keep the top Ackerman breathing which I will touch on later.
Levi is definitely gonna have an important role for the Attack on Titan
finale. Before then Levi does have a very different issue to overcome.
Simply being that worst injury that Levi has ever taken. Ironically the severe
injury was almost entirely caused by Levi himself. Really dude at Thunder Spear
making some Levi monkey steaks weren't enough for you but let's not dwell on
the past. How to resolve the Levi's broken
state and then move past it. Too bad there's those senzu beam or some
healing Titan jutsu magic in the Attack on Titan world. The resurrection of Levi
there's actually a few valid options. Option 1 talking about that Titan magic
Ackermans have been proven to be Subjects of Ymir. Recall Mikasa being
in the Titan realm. Levi should have also been there being an Ackerman himself
although probably kissing the ground. Ackerman' do have some strange
unconfirmed and really unclear connections to Titans
which is a different theory video but in theory a Levi who has these Titan
traits could behave in a similar manner. Think of how a Titan shifters heal
after taking damage like all the times that Eren shattered Attack Titan body
or the more natural healing factor that does exist for Titan shifters every
single one of these Titan shifters in human mode has boasted this ability. Funny
thing about this the one major thing going against any possible healing is
actually Mikasa. Take a look at Mikasa Ackerman notice what's remain
constants of Attack on Titan season 1 nope Nope not her abs,
not her smile, not her scarf but her scar. Recall that one time that Eren left
that little love mark on her. I know a lot of you do want Levi to just heal
via this Titan connection however Mikasa definitely
would have done so already if it were possible. I do believe this is part of
why Mikasa still has that scar. It just shows as type of superhuman
healing does not exist for Ackerman's although playing devil's advocate a
counter to this. I do believe there could be this
extra factor needed factor needed to activate some secret Titan connected Ackerman
healing. Perhaps the founding Titan or royal blood and member needs to be
involved. Come on Eren come over here and pet Levi on the head a little bit.
Rub his head pinch those cheeks or how ironic would it be if someone like Zeke
ended up restoring Levi. Do I smell some Redemption coming? Option
two a Titan Levi which is definitely another popular Levi scenario. How about
if Levi just eats Annie and becomes the new sexy female Titan? That way Levi
is gonna be able to shake a different moneymaker but seriously for my Attack
on Titan videos so far I keep seeing a lot of you wanting this to happen. A very
possible candidate right now would be the little bird boy. Sorry Connie mama Levi
is far more important. You're gonna get the next one I promise. It's not like
anyone's gonna miss Falco too much anyway and no Gabby doesn't count. That
said it still is unknown if Ackerman could become a titan shifter although
chances point to that being unlikely. That said if Isayama wanted Levi to
return in this fashion he would just write it into the Attack on Titan story.
Mikasa being in the Titan realm already at least hints at this being a
possibility. By itself I don't have an issue with Levi returning in this manner
but you then open this Pandora Box of possible issues. The whole reason that
Levi got blown up in the first place was really Isayama nerfing the
very overpower Levi. At the same time also this excuse to remove Levi from
the story for a little bit. Levi feasting on this little Titan boy would
be him becoming this super overpowered character. Levi returns now stronger,
quicker, with healing and even a Titan if needed. That's if you give Levi the
weaker Cart Titan. Plus you do get into this other issue
from a writing point of view. Attack on titan has been praised for a strong
story often avoiding these tropes that almost every other series falls into. If
you now do this with Levi is Attack on Titan going to be similar to almost
every other anime ,manga or light novel where you have a fan favorite that's
almost died but then magically got healed for the finale. Now playing Titans
advocate very appropriate for this. Even I need to acknowledge to counterpoints
for this one. Attack on Titan has already
several other tropes throughout Attack on Titan. Hell look at firkin Gabby. Gabby
is the embodiment of this walking predictable subplot. Two a more
important reality. Technically Levi returning at 150% what didn't even make
him the most overpowered character anymore. That's currently dino Eren
with this colossal Titan army. The story can use a super juice up Levi
right now. Option 3 another Titan option which is getting very out there. You saw
how Zeke fully recovered when he was at death's door in theory it should be
possible for something similar to happen to an Ackerman aka Levi Levi being part
Titan and for this I'm thinking this is too much above all possibility compared
to Levi just eating someone but hey you do have them sane hunched around hey Hange
why not hook Levi up to Connie's mother it's not like that ty to mama is
busy quick sidenote right here I know there's been some confusion in
questions about the Titans and the Titan realm due to recent events literally
Ymir should it be in the Titan room anymore
in other words no one there to build some Titans which some of you may think
would cause problems for healing up levi if you do go the Titan route however in
the latest chapter you still have the peak Titan young yamir also became a
Titan without herself in the Titan room not to mention the recent Dino Titan
that Eren made and so on. In other words it still is possible to go titan mode.
Option 4 Levi just recovers on his own. For this I'll just direct you to my
previous pretty in-depth video tackling the whole Levi explosion. The high level idea
from that involves Levi not being as hurt as you thought from the concentrated
thunder spear blast. Definitely not as much as you're led to believe. One major
point what this is relying on him being the top Ackerman pretty much being this
mini Titan. Currently you have Hange hauling mummy Levi over to the closest
clinic. Levi did get a downgrade enough to
participate in the Attack on Titan finale and not get killed off. Isayama's
Ackerman nerve patch: Levi is missing two fingers
sorry beyblading skill removed. Levi also has a scar on his face now. I'm
thinking that the blast could have affected its eyesight. What Levi just
needs now is some rest and relaxation. Oh yes I'm talking about a
time skip. The question now becomes how much time does Levi actually need enough
to recover and actually also participate in the finale. Previously you saw Levi injury his
leg versus the female Titan. Levi was then back in full fighting form in Attack on Titan
season 3. Rough estimate of a few weeks. Going forward into the last 10 or
so Attack on Titan chapters it'll be Eren versus the world's
biggest hitters. That includes Mikasa, armored Titan Reiner, the Pieck cary Titan,
colossal Titan Armin and now you could add a +1 to that with Levi. The jaws
Titan and Beast Titan are a question mark at this point. Oh almost forgot don't
forget about Gabby with a sniper. How about someone nerfing Gabby. Here's what
I'd like to see happen whether Isayama plays out the events in this
fashion or the Attack on Titan finale has hints of my ideas at a high level. I
mentioned Levi being removed from the Attack on Titan story temporarily.
Isayama did not bring this guy back with like five chapters left and
not do anything with him. Forgetting about the major world issue for a moment
Levi still has a certain promise that needs to be fulfilled. Levi was
supposed to take out Zeke due to Erwin's final sacrifice. The problem Zeke's
current status is unknown but just like Levi Zeke is such an important character
to just be killed off screen which means until Zeke has been turned into Titan
dust this is gonna be a priority for Levi. Getting into the more pressing
major problem. Right away this possible face up between Levi and Eren comes to
mind. There's really only these two options for this confrontation Levi
fails and Eren kills off Levi or Levi succeeds
good night Eren. Let's dive into both of these possibilities. First off the grim
Attack on Titan future world Levi's dies which i think is far less
likely. Isayama mentioned there's original ending where everyone died. Even
in that doomsday scenario something tells me that Levi lived on this lone
wolf survivor. Then you bring out Levi's colossal fan base into the equation on
top of that those actually being fans that spend their hard-earned money on
Levi merch this really becomes this tough trigger
to pull. A good chunk of people were already pissed off when Potato Girl Sasha
got killed off. Looking at the money point of view it actually is funny I
have been wanting to get this new Attack on Titan poster but it's always
either Levi, Eren, Erwin more Levi or all three which is true for most other
Attack on Titan merch but hold up did you notice that?
Erwin popular? Didn't mr. eyebrows die off? aha!
You cannot kill off your biggest Attack on titan moneymaker except for one way.
You'd have to give Levi this badass send-off. The easy way would be to have
this total fanservice moment to give Levi a proper send-off. I'm talking about
final Attack on Titan chapter Levi having a statue to honor his passing.
It'd be similar to that Helos statue except this time an actual legendary
hero. Then for Levi versus Eren it would be coming full circle. Recall what Levi thought
Eren years back what's the right choice no one really knows and definitely
quote me later. Levi dying would have a parallel to
either Erwin or Kenny's death. For Kenny it'd be Levi giving some final wisdom to
Eren. For Erwin it believed i sacrificing himself to save someone else
that could be Hange, Armin, Mikasa which you do have this potential for the
passing of a baton for the Ackerman's. Perhaps even Eren himself and yes this
would definitely be a challenge for Isayama
especially if Eren is the one that deals that death blow. You're gonna piss
off a good chunk of Levi friends no matter what.
Then again you did have Isayama advancing forward with the current Eren
that had a lot of Attack on Titan fans divided which means Isayama is no
stranger to pissing off fans. Second Attack on Titan future the one where
Levi lives. I'm giving this like 70 to 80% chance of happening just for
popularity reasons and money reasons alone Isayama and/or his editor
would want to keep Levi breathing. Keep in mind this doesn't discount Levi
getting massively hurt again. I would say just forget about the Levi fangirls and
Levi fanboys for a second. I want Levi to live on for a different
reason. I know we'd like to joke about Reiner being the one to suffer forever
but before Reiner came Levi. The small dude has had a rough rough life.
Humanity's sexiest started off with some very humble beginnings born in the
underground to a prostitute mom who died early when Levi was just a kid. One day
came uncle Kenny who took the guy in briefly.
Kenny later returned trying to kill him. Then gone.
Before that Isabella and Farlen Gone.
Petra and the rest of the Levi squad GONE.
Erwin GONE. Levi
ultimately being the one that laid Erwin to rest.
Hange almost gone. One eye in the grave.
The Levi squad squad v2
all gone. On top of that Levi being forced to kill the 30 young bright
soldiers. Levi really only has one close buddy left now which is Hange. The same
person who's currently hauling his ass trying to do her damn best to keep this
guy in this cruel cruel world. Oh Hange definitely do not pull a Levi.
Ironically Levi almost ended up killing Hange when they first met.
So going back to Eren for a moment Levi actually does share a parallel to Eren
and the trio that being Levi's thirst for this false freedom that existed outside
the walls. Naturally Eren chose this different path
compared to Levi to achieving this journey
true freedom. This Attack on Titan timeline will end with humanity
strongest surviving this Eren face-off. Chapter 130 something somewhere on the
shore of Paradise Island you're gonna have this shot. In the background you're
gonna see this research building. On the front on the top of the shop a sign that
