Who Has the Most Human Kills?
Eren Yeager has the highest human kill count in Attack on Titan, with an estimated 1.8 billion people killed, or nearly 80% of the population during the Rumbling.
This means that Eren sacrificed all those lives to create a world where Armin, Mikasa, and his friends could live free from the Titans.
A lot of people died after the rumbling of the Wall Titans flattened them. Only 20% of humanity survived.
The Rumbling is Eren's final plan to achieve eternal freedom, not just for himself but for all Eldians residing in Paradis.
It's some sort of retaliation for the Eldians' suffering and the chaos caused by the Marleyans' sending the Colossal Titan, Armored Titan, Female Titan, and Beast Titan to Paradis, which took many lives.
It is also a mass genocide that doesn’t care about the lives of the people, be they the elderly or children. No one can survive except those that Eren cared for in Paradis Island.
The Rumbling is supported by the Yeagerists, a rebel faction composed of civilians and soldiers dedicated to Eren Yeager.
Next to Eren Yeager are the Colossal Titans of Bertholdt and Armin. The rest of the titan shifters follow the list due to their monstrous ability to wipe out an entire village or nation in an instant.
In just a single barrage of boulders, the Beast Titan can wipe out an entire platoon led by Erwin Smith!
On the other hand, Levi Ackerman has the highest human kill count among the Scout Regiment, with over a dozen kills.
The tension with the Yeagerists, the fight in Liberio, and the chase with Kenny Ackerman's subordinates were all incidents that contributed to Levi's human killings.
The rest of the Scout Regiment follows, led by Mikasa Ackerman, Hange Zoe, Connie, and Jean.

Who Has the Most Titan Kills?
Levi Ackerman is Paradis' titan killing machine, having killed an estimated 200 titans and more than 58 on-screen kills.
After all, he is the Scout Regiment's epitome of excellence, and everyone respects him for his unparalleled skills in vertical maneuvers and titan combat.
Despite his short stature, Levi's quick reflexes make him a dangerous soldier.
The Beast Titan knew what was coming for him the moment he saw Levi spinning like a fidget spinner in his arms, eventually ripping his human body out of the titan's nape.
Levi also puts an end to Zeke Yeager after the latter realizes how meaningful life is despite its repetitive cycle enveloped in fear. He willingly submitted to Levi's blades, putting an end to the rumbling.
Mikasa Ackerman, who has 16 Titan kills and counting, follows Levi. Mikasa, as expected of her Ackerman forebears, can hold her own in battle, finishing consecutive Titans without the assistance of the other soldiers.
Similar to Levi, Mikasa can spin like crazy, using the blades to puncture her targets.
She also shows no fear, particularly when it comes to the titan shifters who want to take Eren away from her.
Unfortunately, Mikasa kills Eren at the end of Attack on Titan, both in the anime and the manga.
It was her destiny to finish what Eren started and put him to rest for the sake of humanity as well as the freedom he longs for throughout his life.
