this will include some manga stuff but I will try to keep it to Ackerman only info.
Attack on Titan has been delayed anyway what better time to catch up to the
manga so why were the Ackerman even created? Turns out the Ackerman clan was
originally created to protect the Eldian King. The Eldian King would have been the
founding Titan. As to why they needed more super soldiers on top of Titans
that's coming up. The actual first individual Ackerman came as a result of
the previous Eldian Empire. They were experimenting using subjects of Ymir.
Through their long history eventually one super soldier was achieved. These
Ackerman people can manifest titan powers while at the same time
maintaining a human form hmm Mikasa Levi talk about playing life on easy mode.
Since the Ackerman were initially created to guard some royalty the
the Ackerman blood instincts will activate once they've recognized someone as their
host or master. Once an Ackerman obeys in order from them and conditions
are met their Titan blood will in a fully awaken. This really leads into why
Ackerman are so fricking overpowered. Once an Ackerman awakens their physical
abilities are pushed to this super extreme. It's like an isekai character
starting off with max stats but wait there's more. The awoke Ackerman actually
gains a better experience accumulated by every past Ackerman. This was done via
their own exclusive path the Ackerman 5g. Seriously what the hell? I don't even
think overpowered even begins to define this. Forget about overpowered Isekai
character is more like that overpowered character writing their own story
literally a god but here's an interesting kicker. Post Titan above the
Ackerman can find themselves feeling some odd headaches. This is due to the
person trying to resist being forced to protect their host or master. Hey Mikasa
is sound familiar? Ultimately the Ackerman were created to
fulfill this one role against their will which some people have used this to
describe them as being slave to the royal family or their instincts and just
to start this is this huge juicy Ackerman chunk to digest. I am gonna examine each
piece over this in detail but first let me toss a little bit of spice into this.
A Levi a size disclaimer. This past Ackerman information is from a shady
questionable source within the attack on Titan story which honestly seems to go
hand in hand with this story. Getting into the first claim the raw power of
the Ackerman. How powerful are they? They all seem to be like Titan Captain
America is running around. Their access to previous past Ackerman experience it
really feels like Titan shifter memories being passed down except on fracking
steroids. You could just imagine Mikasa going ultra instinct mode if Levi ever
goes boom but keep in mind this is access to all the previous Ackerman
library. You better hope your ancestors weren't
some lazy bums. That said one mystery for this is really how the Ackerman powers
are distributed when you have more than one active Ackerman on the board.
At one time you had Mikasa, Levi and Kenny. Something tells me a fair
distribution isn't at all a thing. Either way finally you got this story
reason that explains why the Ackerman are on a completely different level
altogether. Let's first take a look at Mikasa's history beating up bully trash
as the lowly. No issue carrying her Boy toy. Gotta protect that piece of
ass. Don't even get me started on the crates. I think I need some of those
Acker-roids. Mikasa chucking Reiner's thick booty no problem. One
of the more amazing feats early on was in the Trost Arc. You had Mikasa
crashing into that rooftop at high speed. She then fell like five plus stories
down rough estimate from the anime buildings. Sticking with Trost you had Mikasa as
this rookie scout being able to easily take out Titans no biggie.
Something that even gave the Survey Corps trouble at the time. You could really see
why she was described as being as valuable as a hundred soldiers. In the
manga he had Mikasa switching over to railroad worker. Mikasa is lifting not
one steel bar but like ten or more. No one's even batting an eye anymore.
Meanwhile Kony over here struggling with his wood. Hey Eren listen to this girl
otherwise you're a dead man. Although there still isn't even diving into her
Titan shifter carving up history. You could bet Annie still has nightmares
about that. Getting into humanities most charming. Kid Levi was already
dominating adults in the underground. You even have this one example of Levi
showing off his arm strength Levi's vs. Dust no problem. Levi's vs. basement Door
OK and of course don't forget Levi's vs. Titans the female Titan super
shredded by the Levi's beyblade. Levi my versus the Beast Titan more like Levi
the sushi chef. Perhaps the walls really were made to protect the Titans
from Levi and I know what you're wondering how about Levi god mode. You
have seen instances of Levi's being shown with those white eyes in the anime. One
of those best executions was Levi going all out vs. out red-eye Titan.
Technically this is not an extra mode or powerup it really is more like this fun
visual added for the animation and then attack on Titan fans just called Levi
God mode. Despite Levi God mode not being an official thing you have had
Levi being described as having the strength rivaling the nine special
Titans. Come on you know Levi felt a little bit insulted at that. Third
Ackerman Kenny. Kenny may not have had Titans for lunch but
let that fool you. Definitely a standout shot of his Ackerman power was Kenny
taking on the top one. He even managed to scratch that gorgeous face. Sure it
wasn't at all the long fight but Kenny freakin had the balls to go one-on-one
with only his little dagger. Imagine if both of the Ackerman were
using the same blades not to mention this was not Kenny at his prime. Another
show of Kenny strength actually happened a little bit later.
You saw Kenny fully lift the plump Rod off the ground.
That was him one arming the guy. Kenny lifts too. Keep in mind Kenny's age is
unknown surely 50-plus, you still had the guy
bleeding out from the Levi's stab and throughout this he was giving a friendly
talk to Rod. Going by the anime length that was a good 50 or so seconds. Getting
it to the source of the Ackerman awakening this concept about a host or
a master. This is actually known as the Ackerman bond or Acker-bond for short. For
Kenny he had Uri Reiss. for Levi he that was commander Erwin and shocker! Mikasa
has been super attached to Eren. Mikasa actually served as a best example for a
lot of this Ackerman stuff partly since Mikasa has gotten the most screen time
from the Ackerman trio. You've actually witnessed a front row awakening for
young Mikasa. Young Mikasa should have registered kid Eren as her master
figure then activator her little self following his yelling to fight fight. Let me
just point out there are a lot of unclear things but this Ackerman bond
concept is absolutely true. For years back in the attack on Titan and answers
book Isayama first mentioned the existence of this Ackerman having a host
concept. At the time Isayama even confirmed the theory Ackerman bond
pairings. Time to examine the Ackerman bond mystery. The Ackerman were meant to
be these Titan King bodyguards but apart from Kenny clearly Mikasa and Levi
have no kings. There's not even royal blood in the
equation. At the very least is highly suggest only an Eldian is needed for
this bond to form. In the case of Levi this guy has clearly not been downgraded
with the loss of Erwin which means it's safe to say that post Ackerman marriage
the partner is not required sorry commander!
What isn't clear is whether or not an Ackerman is restricted to only a single
person. Could the Ackerman connection change or expand later on to include
others? You have two very good cases with Kenny and Levi without the original
connection. This could even suggest that the Ackerman bond and continue to exist
past death. Kenny clearly didn't bond with mr. Rod.
After the founding Titan powers were passed over Kenny actually tried to gain
the same powers to see what his master did. You even saw Kenny speaking out to
Uri in his final moments. The situation for Levi is even more interesting. When
did Levi even gain as Titan abilities? He only confirm to Mikasa having that
similar surge of power experience. Levi as a little kid was already dominating
the underground. Then after first joining up the scouts for a mission you saw
LeviI go into a signature god mode on that hungry Titan. The popular
thought has been that Levi initially bonded to Isabel or ferlyn otherwise
Levi would have been already pretty darn strong before bonding with Erwin which
brings two likely scenarios for Levi. One Levi was just bad as from the get-go or
to Levi Ackerman bonded with one or both of his underground buddies. Later Erwin's
dream spoke to Levi in such a way that this transferred over. Erwin might
have not been a king but he definitely was a leader figure. Don't forget about
Mikasa and you might be saying Jerry Mikasa's situation is crystal clear
and yes I would agree. Obviously Mikasa has a very special relationship with
Eren one that extends past her Ackerman instincts but even with Mikasa it's not
hard to see how her Ackerman circle could have expanded to include our buddies.
Switching to a different part the actual creation of the Ackerman via Titan
Science. Previously Boomer Ackerman strongly hinted at their creation by the
royal family. More recent manga information doubles down on this. You
know how the founding Titan could alter memories but that's only the start. The
founding Titan has the power to change the body structure of subjects of Ymir.
The Ackerman are this byproduct of Titan science ones that served the royal
family as their bodyguards all those together pretty much confirms the
Ackerman were created by the Founding Titan. You'll see why this is important
coming up. Getting into the more controversial claim regarding the
Ackerman being forced to protect their hosts no question Mikasa has constantly
been super protective towards Eren but was all that just a program behavior?
Let's look back at trust after Eren was supposedly dead in her mind.
Mikasa by all means had given up. It was a good life but then notice you had
Mikasa suddenly fighting back. Even she didn't fully realized why this was
happening. She only figured out why after hearing Eren voice in her coconut
fight fight. In the anime you actually even have this extra shot of blood cells
pulsating. That smells very very much like Ackerman
blood. The next scene happened more recently in attack on titan season 3. Poor
blonde boy Armin got turned into Korean barbecue. As soon as Levi bitch slap
Eren Mikasa activated complete with that crazy look in here eyes. It was even to the
point of overpowering Ali Meyer for a good time I will point out that Lee was
perhaps tired but hadn't taken any damage just yet then moments later
Mikasa assaulting Hange. you can't even see her eyes here why do you think at
least some of this was due to her Ackerman bullets switching her to
autopilot perhaps a clearest example was when a
scout trying to sucker punch Eren Mikasa it's only slammed him down even she was
dumbfounded she clearly had no idea why her body moved so does this confirm the
claim that Ackerman are forced to protect their hosts
in other words Ackerman are doing something against their own whele
looking back at Mikasa it at least suggests it does.
on the other hand you do have Levi a strong counter example would be Levi
telling her when to give up his dream and die you even have Levi doubling down
on this by allowing Erwin to rest from this cruel cruel world
do you mind that's not enough from Kenny to examine and perfect this actually
naturally moves us into the Ackerman headaches supposedly these are caused by
the Ackerman recalling trying to resist protecting their host hella true isn't
an attack on Titan season 1 you saw young Mikasa get one post Karla becoming a
Attack on Titan season 2 Mikasa had another one after waking up and
realizing Eren had been captured for the tenth time with Attack on season 3
this one happening after seeing roasted Armin later in the manga what feels like
her worst headache this involved thinking back to an Eren rescued ur so
right away it seems like this headache claim doesn't really hold true for the
Carla and Armin case this one actually have to imply Mikasa having a
Kurt bonded to them and then having the headaches due to being unable to protect
them by the way in case you're wondering about Levi I had a really fun time
double checking every single panel in the manga Levi only held his head once
not counting the time that any screamed their butt off the time involves himself
reflection from him thinking back to Eren Erwin and his fallen comrades so
yes let me just call bullcrap on this Ackerman headache explanation at best a
comment theme here for me cos I chose either recalling the loss of someone or
not being able to protect someone which leads back to the day she lost her
parents also the day she awakened. Now turn to Isayama in 2016 Isayama
was asked whether this protective trait was due to the Ackerman blood
surprisingly he said it was not instead he mentioned that it was due to the
nature of those three individuals then willingly wanting to protect their
important person. He described these three Ackerman as more like finding this
boss or manager that they'd happily work under in other words even Isayama
completely goes against the Ackerman doing this ho protective service against
their will which also clears up the Ackerman
headache being linked to guarding their hosts
Anyway bringing it all together the Ackerman explanation plus a little bit of
theory the Ackerman were created by the founding ties in using its ability to
change body structures there's resulted in super soldiers with the strength of
titans but still inhuman compact science what's most telling is how the Ackerman
have been referred to being this by-product or consequence of titan
science in other words Ackerman soldiers are not 100% what the founding Titan was
hoping to create to the wrong family this ideal soldier would have been one
with titan powers that could easily be controlled by his creators instead you
got an Ackerman. you can't forecely attach someone to
them for their Ackerman bond you can't force the Ackerman to awaken their
abilities the person the Ackerman bonds who doesn't even need to be a royal
blood and while the Ackerman's sometimes
autopilot into guarding their hosts this doesn't always work and could be clearly
resisted the founding Titan notice also unable to Mindwipe them as needed as a
bonus kicker these guys have no healing factor as for the actual Ackerman bond
this master host relationship supposedly the Ackerman needs to have recognized a
host then they have to obey their command in this death scenario Mikasa
has been shown to awaken under those extreme conditions Levi is unclear
and then Kenny may actually surprise you you might have missed it but can he
describe this moment or this almighty Titan figure was apologizing to him as
something deeply moving Kenny felt a jolt something deep down
inside. Sound familiar? This feels like strong evidence for the Ackerman
connection forming this time differently clearly the Ackerman aren't just some
slaves they got their own mind in Willow some former the Ackerman instinct to
protect does exist but that could be overcome or resisted so despite Eldon
Kings experimenting over decades or centuries
instead of achieving this perfect a loyal Titans don't
you got this defective product and ackerman the founding titan is
humanity's gain which is why I really have to see how Mikasa and Levi help
humanity in the endgame so hey you awesome guys hope you enjoy that
I think you two right for helping me this month to pay my rent really ad
