Levi Ackerman Character Analysis

Hello, anime fans! I am back today to analyze my favorite character in the entire universe, Levi Ackerman from Attack on Titan.  Be warned that this character analysis will have MAJOR SPOILERS, you should watch the first season of Attack on Titan before you read this!  Also, check out my  Attack on Titan review. With that out of the way, let’s start the analysis.

Overview:

Levi Ackerman is a captain of the Survey Corps leading a special operations team.  He has been in many missions outside of the walls and has seen many people die.  Because of this, he seems distant and disconnected.  He is only close to a few members of the Survey Corps and is almost impossible to approach anyone else.  He can be extremely harsh at times but he can also be companionate during others.

Background:

Not much is known about Levi’s past in the anime right now.  We know that he has had a difficult past and that he was not always the Survey Corps captain that everyone knows and loves.  We also know that most of his titan kills are solo and that he prefers to work alone.  He is also a neat freak and is always cleaning when he is not out in the field fighting titans.

Personality:

Levi has quite a complex personality.  He is a bit OCD which we see by how neat everything has to be.  He also comes off as emotionless, which makes him seem cold and unapproachable.  In difficult times he show a lot of emotion. When he sees that his friends have all died, he goes a bit crazy killing titans and unnecessarily doing more damage to them than he has to.  He can be seen as harsh like when they capture the female titan.  He tells her how he is going to mutilate her and torcher her.  With that said he is also companionate.  He pretends to beat Eren up in the court to show that he can control him.  This gets Eren out of a death sentence and on his team so he can go out in the field.  All of this makes Levi very complex.

Appearance:

Levi has short black hair with dark blue eyes, which almost look black.  He is usually has a straight face or a frown.  He is calm to the point where it is hard to tell how he is feeling at any given point.  He is usually wearing his tan Survey Corps uniform with a gray shirt underneath. He is also wearing a white scarf everywhere he goes. He also wears a Vertical Equipment harness over all of his clothes along with his green Survey Corps cape.

Over All:

I absolutely fell in love with him the moment he appeared on my screen. I wasn’t and still am not a huge fan of Eren but this character totally made me love the show in spite of him. Levi is my husband 😍

Thank you everyone for reading!
