Captain Levi is one of the most popular characters in Attack on Titan. His strength has earned him the nickname "humanity's strongest soldier." Even Captain Erwin respects him for his incredible strength, despite his small stature! This time, we'll take a closer look at the appeal of Captain Levi!
What kind of person is Captain Levi?
Captain Levi is the commander of the Scout Regiment. Despite his small build at 160cm tall, he weighs a hefty 65kg. However, he's not overweight, so that weight is likely due to muscle. As one would expect, he's the strongest man in humanity, so his body appears to be extremely well-trained. He always remains calm and collected, and has the judgment to grasp the situation and respond flexibly depending on the situation. However, due to his past as a thug, he is surly, rough-tongued, and not afraid to do some pretty nasty things. However, he also has a caring side, and is very trusted by his subordinates!
How strong is Captain Levi?
Captain Levi is known as "humanity's strongest soldier," but just how strong is he? It's said that he alone possesses the fighting power of 100 average soldiers. That means he has the strength of 40 Mikasa warriors, who are known for being incredibly strong. He's strong. He can defeat a 15-meter-tall Titan. And two of them! Normally, it takes a considerable number of people to defeat even one Titan. He also possesses highly accurate technique for targeting Titans' weak spots, and is also extremely fast, attacking the Female Titan with such speed that she doesn't have a chance to harden. Captain Levi also showed incredible fighting power in his battle with the Beast Titan.
Captain Levi is a huge clean freak!
Captain Levi immediately begins a thorough cleaning upon arriving at base. If the spot isn't spotless, he's made to start over. Many people were probably surprised by this cleaning Captain Levi. This subtle contrast with his surly personality is another secret to his popularity! Blood splatter is inevitable during battle, but it seems he can't help but wipe it away. You could say he's quite a germaphobe. And he even wipes his hands with a handkerchief. He's super sensitive!
Captain Levi's real name is "Levi Ackerman"?!
You've heard of Ackerman somewhere, right? That's right. It's "Mikasa Ackerman." It has been revealed that Captain Levi is from the same family as Mikasa. While Captain Levi possesses greater combat ability than Mikasa, Mikasa is also naturally strong. The Ackerman family was originally a samurai family serving the royal family, and as a warrior race, they possessed high combat ability. It seems that Captain Levi himself was unaware that he was an Ackerman.
Ackerman Family Trait: "Removing Muscle Limiters"
The Ackerman family possesses superhuman strength. Both Captain Levi and Mikasa are incredibly strong. Captain Levi has said that he "suddenly experienced the sensation of awakening to power." This is apparently due to the Ackerman family's ability to "intentionally remove" the limiter that controls the innate power of humans. To withstand this strain, it seems that their bone density is higher than that of ordinary humans! So the reason Captain Levi is so heavy despite his small stature is not just related to his muscles, but also to his bone density!
What is Captain Levi's past?
Captain Levi was originally a thug operating in the underground city of the royal capital. He was the leader of a gang of thieves. He taught himself how to use the 3D Maneuver Gear and possessed the skills to immediately put it to use in the military. After meeting Erwin, a squad leader of the Scout Regiment, and making a deal with him, he became a soldier in the corps. It seems like Captain Levi and Commander Erwin share a strong bond. They trust each other.
Who is Captain Levi's voice actor?!
The voice actor for Captain Levi in the Attack on Titan anime is Hiroshi Kamiya. At first, I thought Kamiya's voice might be a bit out of place for the man said to be humanity's strongest, but that wasn't the case. Now I'm actually looking forward to hearing Kamiya's slick voice deliver Captain Levi's sadistic lines. It's hard to imagine anyone other than Kamiya as Captain Levi! Captain Levi was already popular, but Kamiya's voice acting has made him even more popular!
【Attack on Titan】A Thorough Introduction to Captain Levi! Summary
Captain Levi is so strong, he's so cool! Even when the battle begins, if Captain Levi shows up, it gives you a sense of security that you can be sure everything will be fine! Captain Levi is so popular that there are rumors that he injured his leg to reduce his screen time because he is so popular. In Attack on Titan, important characters die one after another, but I truly hope that Captain Levi doesn't die!
