Levi's Intelligence

Levi's intelligence is often overlooked, probably because he's compared directly to Erwin and Hange. Erwin and Hange are both extraordinarily intelligent, but Levi is immensely intelligent himself. He is able to read people (better than any other character), and he knows how to make the best use of what he has available. Many other users have done a wonderful job expanding on Levi's emotional intelligence, so I wanted to expand on some of his feats of general intelligence:

I. Ability to Both Think Long-Term and Make Quick Decisions While in the Midst of Battle

After Historia and Eren are captured by Kenny and the MPs, Levi avoids immediately chasing after them—similarly to how he approached the situation with the Female Titan. The overall strategic goal still remained keeping Historia and Eren safe, but Levi was able to recognize in the moment that chasing after them would not have successfully led to achieving that objective. Levi adapted his tactics, and the Scouts were overall more successful in their mission because of it.

Without Erwin, Levi is able to lead his remaining team to safety and take down an MP compound without casualties. They are all able to regroup and come up with a plan to rescue Eren and Historia because of Levi's quick thinking and long-term planning during this battle.

II. The Reeves Negotiation

Much has been said about Levi's kindness and compassion in this arc, about how he's interested in saving the city of Trost at no tangible benefit to himself (and after being directly mistreated by its citizens earlier in the same arc), but what I want to bring attention to is (1) that he was able to recognize the opportunity for a negotiation and (2) his skills at bargaining.

Directly after taking down the MP compound (Chapter 54: "Location of the Counterattack"), Levi and his team encounter Dimo Reeves, the boss for the Reeves Company as well as the merchant responsible for blocking the Trost gate earlier in the series. Levi is able to intuit that there is more to Dimo Reeves' "deal" with the MPs than meets the eye, so he brings Dimo Reeves outside to look over Trost together and converse. This demonstrates Levi's skill at reading people. No other character had indicated an interest in holding a conversation about Dimo's motives.

Dimo reveals how the Reeves Company has been at the mercy of the Interior MPs and how he has been following the MPs' orders to avoid getting immediately killed and losing everything—to protect his employees and their families. This conversation directly leads to a negotiation and then a deal being formed between the Scouts and the Reeves Company.

When Levi is laying out the conditions for the deal, it is evident that Dimo does not seem initially receptive. Levi uses the word "trust," which Dimo balks at.

However, Levi's third condition, which is actually the most unimportant and superfluous one, results in Dimo accepting the deal. Why?

"Seems you're even greedier than a merchant." Dimo says this, as he is familiar at interacting with and respects other merchants. Levi added the third condition in, not simply because he wants tea and other luxurious goods, but because it brings himself down to Dimo's level. Without this condition, the deal may not have gone through. It is exactly this condition that results in Dimo "trusting" Levi as an equal.

This negotiation is also more evidence toward Levi's ability to think long-term. This deal between the Scouts and the Reeves Company benefits the Scouts for the remainder of the series.

III. Luring Kenny Into a Bar

Expanding on Levi's ability to make quick decisions while in the midst of battle, one of the best examples of this is Levi's first encounter with Kenny during the Uprising arc, where Levi lures Kenny into a bar and is able to defeat him as a result.

This goes beyond Ackerman prowess, as that is more related to superhuman strength and heightened combat reflexes. This is specifically a feat of intelligence; it's a sign of Levi's ingenuity—using aspects of the environment to his advantage. By luring Kenny into a bar, Levi is able to procure a weapon to even the playing field. Kenny himself is impressed and adds in that Levi was not taught these tactics by him. Some of the specific tactics of note:

III.a Use of Reflection

Levi is able to procure a shotgun while simultaneously taking cover from Kenny. He converses with Kenny to keep Kenny focused on him and not the bar's patrons, and even though Levi is facing away from Kenny, he uses the reflection off the alcohol's glass to properly aim the shotgun.

III.b Chair and Figuring Out the Firearms' Weakness

Levi knew he was going to be ambushed from up top as soon as he left the bar, so he threw a chair out the window to both distract and waste his opponents' shots. I'm fairly certain Levi was the first one to notice the main weakness of the anti-personnel vertical maneuvering equipment.

The main weakness, as Armin explains above in a later chapter, is that they need to reload after shooting twice. Levi first threw a chair, forcing one of his opponents to shoot twice, kills that opponent, and then uses that opponent's body as a shield against the other two guys' shots.

IV. Final Battle - Infers Immediately Armin is Alive

This one is pretty self-explanatory, but Levi is the first to infer that Armin has to be alive, given the way Titan powers work. As such, Levi is able to keep the others focused on the battle in front of them, knowing that Armin is alive and unharmed. This again speaks to Levi's quick thinking while in the midst of battle; it is often more difficult to make these sorts of judgments while in a fight-or-flight situation. Keep in mind as well that Levi is also grievously injured here, so it is even more impressive, how quickly he's able to make this inference.

V. Final Battle - Leadership and Planning

Full stop, the Alliance would not have succeeded without Levi, and part of that is because of Levi's ability to take charge and come up with a plan. This is the plan that they followed throughout the entire duration of the Battle of Heaven and Earth, and it is a plan Levi came up with, directly in response to an unexpected change in circumstances.

This again shows off Levi's skill in adjusting tactics to achieve a strategic objective. Even though the commanders are the ones often in charge of this, Levi is clearly very capable and adept at this himself. Right before this panel, everyone was arguing on how to proceed. Levi came up with the best overall plan, and in addition to that, formulated the two teams required to carry out that plan.

[littlerequiem]

hello Flo, hope you’re doing well 🩵

for the aot asks, here are 3 questions that aren’t in the list:

15.a) if you could have changed a single event, what would it be?

15.b) what is a scene that you prefer in the manga and not in the anime? And vice versa?

15.c) what is your favorite duo?

hi Dee, thanks for these insightful questions :D

15.a) if you could have changed a single event, what would it be?

It's not a single event per say, but I would have added more moments between the characters in the earlier parts of the story, particularly between the vets, and between Reiner & Bertholdt and Eren.

15.b) what is a scene that you prefer in the manga and not in the anime? And vice versa?

Most of the Uprising arc is done better in the manga, imo (shirtless Levi, need I say more?!?). There's this one scene in particular between Dimo and Levi that I wish they had fully incorporated into the anime. I think it made readers more attached to the Reeves company:

(Levi always cracks me up here, mentioning his tea lmao)

Anime-wise, I think the ending is handled better, particularly the conversation between Armin and Eren & the added scenes that give us a glimpse into everyone's lives post-rumbling.

15.c) what is your favorite duo?

Hange & Levi is probably my favorite duo, I just really enjoy the way they balance each other. However, I do want to mention Uri and Kenny as well - I know we've talked about it before but I think this duo (and its impact on the narrative) is often overlooked.

Levi vs. Zeke & Why Isayama Focused on that Conflict Analysis

Wanted to talk about "The Promise" (aka Levi's vow to take down Zeke) because a) I see it critiqued a lot as a narrative choice for Levi post-time skip, b) I don't think it's well understood as a narrative choice or even what it means in canon by the fandom, and c) I haven't seen people analyze it and thought why not me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So why did Isayama have Levi focus so much on the promise, and by extension Zeke, post-time skip?

1. Levi and Zeke are set up as narrative foils

This is established super early and is pretty evident even before we know much of anything about Zeke. In his introduction in the "Captain Levi" side chapter, Levi's character basics are quickly established, and one of the very first things we learn about him is how much he values the lives of his comrades and wants to make their sacrifices/deaths meaningful, regardless of any personal connection he has or doesn't have with them. We also see Levi very concerned about the Trost citizens starving in the Uprising arc, which leads Dimo Reeves to say in a pretty on-the-nose dialogue that Levi is "awkward yet kind" and trying to save Trost even though he "doesn't really have to".

By contrast, something hammered home to us very quickly is that Zeke is relatively indifferent to lives lost in his quest to achieve his goal, the euthanasia plan. That isn't to say that he's completely devoid of empathy so much as he views the lives lost as inconsequential or necessary and doesn't dwell on them because he doesn't even really understand the value of life- "I saved them, the lives of those children from this cruel world" is what he says to Levi about turning his squad into titans. There's also moments like when Colt begs Zeke to hold off on screaming so that Falco could be spared, Zeke acknowledges that pain, understands it, and then screams anyway.

We get a panel post-time skip to quickly establish that contrast right away:

This indifference is actually what drives a lot of conflict between Levi and Zeke- Levi makes it clear he doesn't trust Zeke partially because as he says to him, even if he is unsure if Zeke wants to help Paradis, he can tell that Zeke doesn't really care about Ragnako village (and keeps bringing it up because he can tell "[Zeke] doesn't have a speck of guilt... those people's lives meant nothing to [Zeke]"), that he doesn't respond to the idea that his grandparents may die, etc. Levi also responds violently to the idea that Zeke "saved" his squad by killing them. The euthanasia plan is something that is so opposed to Levi's values that these two were always going to be in conflict- it's almost like Zeke's goal is the exact opposite of what Levi fights for.

This is kind of important for the overall themes and story for a couple reasons like:

Zeke's character arc is partially developing an appreciation for life's purpose beyond procreating and the small moments of connection and joy that make up the human experience, as evident by his conversation with Armin and actions in 137; the contrast and callouts by Levi help establish early on this inability to appreciate the inherent value of life before we even know Zeke's end goal

Indifference towards loss of life as long as it fits your personal goals is kinda contrary to what the story wants to tell you via the Rumbling and protecting lives that have no value to you is treated as a narratively good thing

There's also the fact that both of them have parental/fraternal relationships with Eren. They're both protective of Eren and give him advice; Eren also in turn has sought their knowledge as they are more experienced than him in certain areas (Levi as the Survey Corps vet, Zeke as the one most knowledgeable about titan/Ackerman history), so it's a mentorship relationship, too. Eren also takes their advice and knowledge in ways that I'm pretty sure neither intended (like I doubt Levi was thrilled that him encouraging Eren to make his own decisions turned out this way...)

There's also a contrast there- Levi calls Eren a "monster" who won't let anyone stop him from doing what he wants to do early into their relationship (correctly identifying who Eren is at his core) whereas Zeke sees Eren as a victim that Zeke needs to save for a really long time (which is how Zeke ends up so easily manipulated by Eren despite being so intelligent).

2. Levi / Zeke parallel Mikasa / Eren

While the relationships are very different, Levi/Zeke and Mikasa/Eren actually do parallel each other- there's a kind of Ackerman vs. Yaeger contrast set up. Despite the different relationships, they both end very similarly: Mikasa and Levi behead Eren and Zeke respectively in something of a partially wanted mercy kill that is necessary to better the world (stop the Rumbling, end the titan curse). There are even more parallels there, like how both Ackermans experience a moment of understanding of the respective Yeager before killing them, how both of them had recently had a moment where they were thinking- for different reasons- that they couldn't kill the Yeager brother and then ended up doing so, etc., but the point is the moments appear back-to-back (137 and 138) and are treated as pretty narratively similar.

There's a lot of reasons we could speculate as to why Isayama did this- I don't think it's an Ackermans are amazing, Yeagers suck message for the record- one of them could be as simple as illustrating the similarities of the Ackermans vs. Yeagers by generation 

Or it could even be because Mikasa as a character reflects Levi in many ways and her character arc is partially illustrated by her evolving opinion of Levi. She begins as someone with no appreciation for authority and prioritizing her own people/interests (usually Eren) over the greater good/mission, which is illustrated by her respect, or lack thereof, of Levi. She lashes out at him, ignores his orders and then gets saved by Levi in the Female Titan arc, then in Uprising she doesn't want to at first and can't help but be snarky about it but she shows how she's able to see a bigger picture and respect Levi's leadership by defending it to Jean, Connie, and Sasha and allowing Levi to gamble Eren to make his deal with Reeves, and by the time of the Rumbling, when Levi tells her they can't be concerned about Eren's safety, she doesn't lash out and while upset, doesn't even argue.

It's not really a surprise that Mikasa is the one shown comforting/checking in on Levi right after he kills Zeke and Levi is the one spurring Mikasa on, saying "there the only ones left who can kill Eren" before she finds her resolve to do so (and also literally clears the way via thunderspear so Mikasa can kill Eren).

3. Levi's narrative purpose- or what even is the point of Levi post-explosion?

I've seen like ten thousand posts or comments saying something to the extent of "Levi should've died in the explosion, he has no point afterwards". I completely disagree, but beyond how dumb of a death that'd be for a character that's the most featured (most "screen time"/panel time) after EMA pre-time skip and EMA+Reiner post-time skip and story contributions that Levi brings (like leadership and direction for the Alliance with Hange dead after Armin is taken), Levi as a character embodies certain important themes/narrative messages for the story. Several of them are illustrated through his conflict with and contrast to Zeke.

His desire to protect people and preserve life even if they are strangers, or even in conflict with him, is highlighted through his juxtaposition to Zeke as discussed above

"Your deaths had meaning, at last I can prove it."

The big thing about the promise is that Levi wants to make the deaths, all of the sacrifices (Erwin but also all of the recruits that charged to their deaths), mean something. All of them sacrificed themselves to give Levi the chance to take down Zeke and Levi is tortured with guilt that he didn't finish the job because he views it as making their sacrifices meaningless. The promise serves to remind the reader that Levi cares so much about giving meaning to the fallen Survey Corps members' lives.

In his intro, Levi says to the Survey Corps rando that his death isn't worthless and it's not the end of his contributions to humanity because Levi will take up his resolve, that his death will inspire Levi, and Levi promises to end the titan threat with that resolve. One could argue that the promise is to remind us why Levi does what he does, what's driving him, the pressure of living with the need to make every sacrifice worth it- and in turn how Levi views/viewed ending the titan threat, a "world without titans", as the ultimate way to prove the sacrifices of the Survey Corps had meaning and his fallen comrades' lives weren't wasted. That's important because of Levi's ending, after the titans leave the world partially because of his efforts and him having seen through that mission until the end and getting a sendoff to the fallen Survey Corps members.

His focus on the next generation

A big theme of AoT is about protecting the next generation, and all of the OG Survey Corps believed this- we see many vets die to ensure recruits survive- but we see it articulated through Levi a lot. He seems to have a soft spot for children in general (getting concerned over the starving mother and baby in Trost, supporting Historia's orphanage plan, saving Ramzi after he pickpockets him, etc.), but he is also shown thinking about "getting the brats to the sea" as the purpose of the OG Survey Corps in 136, aka serving the dreams of the future/next generation- that's part of an internal monologue that begins with Levi focusing on Zeke and the promise.

The euthanasia plan is sharply at odds with Levi's "get the brats to the sea"/next gen protection mentality given it prevents a next generation of Elidians.

The contrast of Falbi and Zeke vs. Falbi and Levi. Zeke callously calls Falbi "miscalculations" in front of them- and Levi- not long after Levi meets Falbi for the first time, Levi spends the end of the Rumbling arc with Falbi after they arrive and they're the only two with him when Zeke calls out to Levi to end his life, Levi and Zeke actually discuss Falbi in the forest, etc. There's a weird sort of arc here since Falbi admired Zeke and felt betrayed by him (and he was indifferent to them when he screamed and knowingly turned Falco into a titan, killing Colt in the process, while Gabi desperately screams for Falco) while Falbi see Levi for the first time in the terrifying staged takedown of the Beast Titan and then end up spending more time in the end of the Rumbling arc fight with Levi than anyone else and Levi's last panel has him depicted as being with them, kind of like a reversal.

CLASSROOM LEARNING TIME - Chap. 15 : Livaï – Cours obligatoires pour les cadets - Partie 1

L’approvisionnement en thé (produit de luxe)

« Eren, une minute et demie après avoir mis ces feuilles de thé dans l’eau chaude, transfère-les dans une tasse. Réchauffe la théière et la tasse à l’avance avec de l’eau.

- D’accord, Petra. »

Dans l’ancien siège du Bataillon d’exploration, Eren, en tant que nouvelle recrue placée sous la supervision du caporal Livaï, préparait le thé après le repas, en suivant les directives d’une camarade plus âgée que lui.

« Il faudra que tu redoubles d’attention quand tu utiliseras la passoire à thé : tu ne dois laisser aucune feuille à l’intérieur. Surtout parce que le caporal est très tatillon. Il faut que tu fasses attention à ça. »

En écoutant les directives données par la subordonnée de Livaï, qui affichait des connaissances pointues en matière de thé comme si c’était quelque chose de tout à fait banal, Eren pencha la tête sur le côté pour montrer sa perplexité.

« ... Au fait, quand j’étais cadet dans les Brigades d’entraînement, les rares fois où nous pouvions boire du thé étaient avant les examens…, dit-il.

- Ça ne m’étonne pas. Pendant leur formation, les cadets n’ont droit qu’à des rations composées de produits de mauvaise qualité, n’est-ce pas ? »

Eren répondit avec un hochement de tête :

« Oui. Depuis que je suis entré dans le Bataillon, je suis surpris de voir autant de variétés et de marques de thé…

- Ça, c’est parce que j’ai obtenu des prérogatives en matière d’approvisionnement. »

Livaï, qui était en retard, se laissa tomber sur sa chaise et poursuivit en prenant sa tasse :

« Les soldats du Bataillon d’exploration ne vivent pas que des impôts… Tu sais que nous recevons des aides financières de la part de riches marchands et de nobles, n’est-ce pas ?

- Oui… Ah, et parmi ces mécènes se trouvent des marchands de thé ? »

« Le Caporal a accompli un exploit là aussi... », chuchota Petra à l’oreille d’Eren. Livaï l’entendit.

« Peuh… Ils croient que les soldats du Bataillon sont incapables d’apprécier le thé, que nos cerveaux ne sont constitués que de muscles. Il m’a suffi d’une discussion avec un de ces marchands. »

Cette fois-ci, Livaï ne donna pas plus de détails sur ce qui s’était passé avec le marchand.

*

Plus tard, Eren eut l’occasion d’apprendre de la bouche des subordonnés de Livaï comment le soldat le plus fort de l’humanité avait obtenu, au bénéfice du Bataillon d’exploration, le soutien financier d’un marchand fournisseur de thé.

« Le thé provient d’une plante que l’on fait pousser essentiellement dans le sud. Ainsi, peu de temps après la chute du mur Maria, les prix ont fortement augmenté. Tu le sais déjà, non ? A cette époque, les marchands qui se sont accaparés toutes les feuilles de thé en conservent aujourd’hui encore le monopole, et les profits qu’ils en tirent sont toujours élevés. On garde un œil là-dessus, mais c’est une situation assez délicate. »

Même si Erwin et Hansi faisaient des offres alléchantes à ces marchands dans l’espoir d’obtenir leur soutien, ces derniers ne se montraient pas intéressés. Livaï n’avait pas l’habitude d’accompagner Erwin et Hansi, mais cette fois-là, il était arrivé sur le lieu de la négociation, et s’était exclamé :

« Hé… Attendez une minute… Dans cette boutique, vous proposez à vos clients des feuilles de thé qui ont plus de deux ans, et qui de surcroît tombent déjà en poussière ?! »

« A la suite à cette remarque, les yeux du marchand ont changé de couleur, à ce qu’on raconte. »

Le marchand, qui avait fini par accepter de soutenir financièrement le Bataillon d’exploration, était lui aussi un amateur de thé. Au moment où il s’était rendu compte qu’il était face à un connaisseur qui savait apprécier le bon thé, son attitude changea et, en un clin d’œil, le thé tout frais de cette année et, par ailleurs, le meilleur thé qu’il possédait, issu des meilleures pousses, fut présenté aux soldats.

« Tandis que le Caporal et le marchand étaient en pleine conversation sur de sujets comme le rendement du thé de l’année, leur échange prit une tournure de plus en plus amicale. A cela, il faut ajouter l’intervention du Major, qui trouve toujours les mots justes : Si nous récupérons des terres, vous pourrez devenir propriétaire de vastes plantations de thé. Cette promesse eut raison du marchand ; il devint ainsi notre mécène.

- Hé hé… Il n’est pas seulement fort, mais aussi très cultivé. »

*

Après l’anecdote, on arriva à la fin du repas et ce fut de nouveau le moment de préparer le thé.

« Hé… Eren !

- Oui ?!

- Ces feuilles de thé doivent infuser dans l’eau à 90°C pendant deux minutes, je t'ai dit. Refais tout depuis le début. »

Eren avait eu un moment de distraction et avait visiblement laissé infuser les feuilles un peu trop longtemps.

Il dut retourner en cuisine, l’air abattu en voyant que Petra l’accompagnait pour l’aider. Il dit :

« Hem, je me demande si je pourrais devenir plus fort en étant plus attentif aux détails, comme lui…

- Il n’y a pas vraiment de lien entre les deux, si ? Tu dois faire ce pourquoi tu es fait. »

En dépit du sourire de Petra, et tandis qu’il jetait les feuilles de thé gâchées, Eren ressentit comme un vertige en pensant au vaste travail qu’accomplissaient les officiers du Bataillon d’exploration et à tout le chemin qui lui restait à parcourir.

Since that’s all the volumes I own, I’ll stop there. Largely because I’m lazy.

The corpse number is probably slightly off, since there were a few stains that could have just been stains or actual bodies, and some bodies are dismembered enough that it’s hard to tell if they’re meant to belong to the same person or not, but there’s the list.

‘Twill be updated.

Thank ye for the excuse to compile this.
