What Makes Levi Ackerman the Most Powerful Non-Titan Character in Attack on Titan?


Popularly known as Captain Levi, Levi Ackerman is the squad leader of the Special Operations Squad in Attack on Titan. The said squad is under Survey Corps, and he is considered the strongest soldier. Just by looking at him, he already gives the vibes of a strong character: undercut curtain-styled hair, intimidating dull eyes, and muscular body despite the short height.

He rarely smiles and would be seen either frowning or emotionless. He is extremely calm even during intense situations so people cannot really guess what he is thinking. All of the characters look up to him because of his expert skills and professionalism. Is this the reason he is considered the most powerful non-Titan character?

Attack on Titan introduced a lot of powerful characters but most of them are Titans, which explain the added skills and abilities. But Levi, despite being human, is considered the most powerful. The anime and manga showed that even if he is not the main character, he has this ability to save the day with his fighting skills (most of the fans even prefer him than Eren).

Some believe that his abilities have something to do with the Ackerman bloodline. As avid AOT fans know, the Ackerman clan were born as experiments to create a family of warriors whose main objective is to protect Eldia’s king. This means that they were intentionally made to be stronger than most people and have this instinct that they will protect the King no matter what.

The Ackermans have an “awakened power” which helps them to know what they need to do. This was developed to improve their protective abilities. This means that in any situation, Levi will know the right thing to do aside from his expert analytical skills and intelligence. The ability was proven to be strong a lot of times whenever he encountered a Titan (and he always wins).

While a lot of fans think that Eren Yeager might be the most powerful character, they have to check Levi Ackerman first. The captain’s enhanced physical abilities, heightened intelligence, awakened power, and analytical personality have time and time again proven that he can beat Eren if he wanted to. He already did it with other Titans so what difference does it make if he is against Eren?

Curious how old is Eren? We have the answer here.
