In this video I’m going to be ranking most Attack on Titan characters from
my least favorite to my most favorite. I have 42 different characters on this list.
It’s important to understand that this is just my opinion. With a show like Attack on Titan,
I’m sure you will have a different opinion on my rankings. All of the characters in the
show are incredibly well-written and it was difficult for me to make this list.
Anyways, let’s quickly breeze through the initial characters since I don’t have too
much to say about them. At number 42, we have Nanaba. At number 41, we have Marlo.
At number 40, we have Hitch. Glad she wasn’t forgotten. At number 39, we have Petra. Levi
squad was pretty notable in the first season and Petra was a great character. At number 38 and 37,
we have Zofia and Udo. Two characters that were destined to die. It’s truly a shame.
At number 36, we have commander Keith, the Survey Corps commander followed by Erwin Smith. At number
35, we have commander Pixis. At number 34, we have Theo Magath. The marleyan military
general and he’s a pretty cool guy. At number 33, we have Rod Reiss. A pretty boring character
except his Titan form. At number 32, we have Moblit. A forgotten character from the early
seasons. He sacrificed himself for Hange and serves as her assistant and messenger.
At number 31, we have Miche. Humanity’s second strongest solider after Levi.
This character is the definition of two words: wasted potential. At number 30,
we have Niccolo. A surprisingly good character and great chef. At number 29, we have Marcel.
Despite his very limited appearances within the show, he’s still a fantastic character.
At number 28, we have Marco. I’m never going to forget him, he was the MVP of the first season.
At number 27, we have Pieck. The first character who regularly makes appearances.
I already know this one is gonna be controversial but think about it for a second.
Pieck has barely contributed to the story compared to the amount of screen time she has.
She’s not a bad character, there’s just way better characters out there.
At number 26, we have Willy Tybur. At number 25, we have Onyankopon.
A really solid side characters, one of the better ones out there honestly.
At number 24, we have Sasha. Glad to see a happy and normal character within the show.
At number 23, we have Hange. Who doesn’t like Hange? She’s such a great character.
At number 22, we have Annie. Even though she’s nonexistent for 90% of the show, she’s still an
important and meaningful character. At number 21, we have Yelena. A Really cool character,
kind of like Floch but on Zeke’s side. Even though those two character have some similarities,
they’re both unique and different. Yelena and Annie are both equal and interchangeable,
I honestly couldn’t decide which one is better. At number 20,
we have Bertoldt. Is this controversial? I’m not sure, but he’s just a nice, awesome guy.
At number 19, we have Colt. He didn’t deserve what happened to him. His character
and conclusion is just perfect. At number 18, we have Kruger. This guy barely has any appearances,
but the ones he does have are really good. He hints at the secret ability of the Attack Titan,
and showcases the cruel world on the other side of the ocean.
At number 17, we have Connie. Overall, he’s just a fantastic character. He’s sometimes
overshadowed by his peers. At number 16, we have Porco Galliard. A super solid character.
He’s been amazing ever since his very first appearance,
and similarly to Colt, his conclusion is great and adds even more to his character.
At number 15, we have the Ymir with freckles. This is where the list starts getting really difficult
to make. Her character is fantastic and I honestly have no complaints whatsoever. At number 14,
we have Mikasa. A main character this low on the list is going to confuse a lot of viewers.
She should be a top 10 character, but she just isn’t. It feels like her development is for Eren’s
sake. I understand what her character is meant to be, and why she does what she does. But she
is just outshined by the rest. Props to Isayama for not making her a “fan service” character tho.
At number 13, we have Ymir Fritz. Her backstory is the single greatest chapter in Attack on
Titan. I consider her a perfect, flawless character, but is she my personal favorite?
Not really. At number 12, we have Floch. This guy is just so hated for all the wrong
reasons. He reminds me of how much Gabi was hated when that one episode aired.
His development is 10 out of 10 and I see a little bit of Erwin in him.
At number 11, we have Grisha. With the final season, they turned his character into something
fantastic and impressive. Everything he’s said and everything he’s done finally makes sense.
After understanding his character, you can really see how good of a character he truly is.
I could make a very long video on any of these characters that are in the top 10.
At number 10, we have Kenny. An underrated, overshadowed and borderline forgotten
character. His dynamic with Levi and his goals and ambitions make him such a great character.
Trust me, rewatch his arc and you’ll see why he’s number 10. At number 9, we have Armin. Whoa,
another main character this low on this list? I feel like the final few chapters didn’t do him
justice. He could’ve been a great character. But it feels like Isayama played it safe.
I do think he is better than Mikasa in every way but he could’ve been top 5 for sure pretty easily.
At number 8, we have Historia. Her development and character is just really, really good.
Her character from start to finish is perfect. I honestly have no complaints
and think Historia should be top 10 in everyone’s list. At number 7,
we have Falco. I mean do I really need to explain this? Falco is an amazing character
and his dynamics with not only Gabi, but everyone else is truly outstanding.
At number 6, we have Gabi. Some people refer to her as “mini Eren” and it’s understandable why.
She has a lot of similarities with Eren. While many people dislike her,
it’s completely understandable why. I find her as the best written female character
in Attack on Titan and some people heavily misunderstand her. At number 5,
we have Erwin. Erwin is such a charismatic and great leader.
He was able to sacrifice himself and his team in order to bring change to the world. He was
a master strategist, shown multiple times through his actions like capturing the Female Titan. Every
time he is on screen, you are never disappointed. At number 4, we have Levi Ackerman. He’s
humanity’s strongest soldier. Whenever Levi is on screen, you know something impressive is about to
happen. Every fight this guy is in is absolutely stunning. But is Levi only a killing machine? Not
at all, he also shows great character development even though he tries to hide his true feelings.
At number 3, we have Zeke. I will never forget his first appearance
where we all thought he was the final Titan boss. Zeke in the Return to Shingashina
arc feels untouchable. His dynamic with Eren is almost unmatched. He also has the best conclusion
out of any character within the show. At number 2, we have Reiner. I had a very difficult time
on deciding who deserves the number 2 spot, but ultimately I’ve decided to give it to Reiner.
Reiner isn’t the “bad guy” of the show we once believed. He has his reasons for his actions.
Within Reiner’s perspective, he is the good guy and Eren is the villain. But within the reveal
of his true identity and the content revealed in the final season, he regrets what he has done.
Im sure you guys already know who my favorite character is,
and it’s none other than Eren Jaeger.
I have read the final chapter of Attack on Titan and know what happens to his character, and I
still consider him the best. Eren has hundreds of videos dedicated to analyzing his character,
the most notable one being this 90-minute video uploaded by invaderzz. I’m sure I don’t need to
go in-depth on why he’s number 1. We see him grow from just a small child experiencing the world, to
rooting for him on his goal to defeat the titans and ultimately doubting his unmoral actions. Since
the very first chapter of the story, his character has been carefully planned out for years.
Thank you guys for watching this video. Thank you for 300 subscribers
