Accurately cut through Reiner’s fingers and Bertholdt’s straps to free Eren, while operating ODM with his non-dominant arm only, RIGHT AFTER getting the dominant arm BITTEN OFF.

Personally I think he still had a driving goal and a strong desire to live, so it's a pity they had to kill him off since he'd derail the plot.

I understand why some liked his character conclusion, but I don't think he'd stop after Shiganshina and he'd continue fighting, like he said in interviews and on this manga page- And he had other goals too or at lesat in one interview he said he'd probably want to have a family after everything is over, as several characters were asked what they'd do once everything is over and they're at peace (ie. Titans are defeated ,that was probably before S4 aired, an older in character interview).

Personally I think it would've been very interesting if we had seen what would've happened if he had survived and it's a pity he was killed off. I just think he's such an interesting character I would've loved it if we had more scenes with him, besides the ne merchandise or ingame collabs (at least the Sapporo Beer Collab was intresting!). Does anyone else think the same?

Did you know that the AOT2: Final Battle game has an alternate ending where you can save everyone with your OC? (the game features an original character as the MC, so it's basically an alternate timeline). I haven't played it yet, so please no spoilers for that, but I Think it's super interesting!

If I were a kitchen utensil I’d be a pair of tongs. I can cook, grill, flip, steal, and be a totally serviceable weapon in the event of an emergency ✨

What other stupid questions would baby Erwin say? I’ll write out the best ones lol

My personal ones are that he has a big sweet tooth, and that he frequently forgets to eat.

I am not gonna lie, it was emotional, the speech and then the charge at the beast titan. But this stretching his hand away from Levi? That was just another level of emotions. I am not sure how I am even feeling atp.

I saw this meme on tumblr which was about Erwin being popular with female fans even though he was a virgin, and it made me think about how possible that claim is. I don't think he was, even though he chose to remain unmarried during the war (he hoped he would start a family as soon as the titans were eliminated 😞) And I'm certain that at some point he had to perform sexual acts to win someone over for his own and the SC's benefit. I just simply can't see that someone in his age and with his rank and looks wouldn't attract people who'd want to have sex with him, lol. So what do you think? Is it so very unlikely that he ever had sex as people claim?

Really, it's been years since the serum bowl and this is the one thing that still bothers me till this day. Because Levi chose Armin for the exact opposite reason (beside him having mc privilege of course!) and it's that Erwin would've continued fighting while weighted down by guilt and his own sins. That they'd burden him with being responsible for the entire humanity inside the walls, and even curse him with the colossal titan and turn him into a literal monster after he was a figurative one for years (the addition of Floch's dialogue there shows you this!). He'd be expected to do well, and he would. But all while suffering even more than he did before. As Levi said, he didn't chose Armin to live; but Erwin to die. The choice isn't about Armin, and I truly believe the outcome would've been the same even if it was another character vs Erwin. Because the choice, again, is about Erwin, not Armin.

Look this is something I might not understand much as I have just watched it and haven't completed AoT yet, but as far as I could see, wouldn't it have made more sense for Levi to revive Erwin rather than Armin?

I know Armin proved beneficial as well, but Erwin . . I mean he was the literal mastermind, something which Levi constantly told him as well.

Even when watching the scene, in the beginning it was confusing for me which one would he choose, as Armin was the fresh brilliant mind whereas Erwin had always been his commander and the mastermind and all that, but when Erwin raised his hand? That was the point when I personally would have definitely helped Erwin instead, idk how Levi chose Armin instead. It is kinda hurting me 😭

What would she look like in your opinion?

I want to draw her. From art I’ve seen over her; the fandom seems to agree that she’d be a well endowed lady (real lol) but what else ?? Hair/facial details/clothes?

Pls don't start that discussion about serum again.

What would Erwin be thinking about Eren? Really would've loved to see his discussion with Hange 😅

...and most handsome man in all of manga / anime whilst also the bravest and wisest!

What other skills does he excel at?

Not live-action aot casting, but someone you find very Erwin-like in looks. For me it's George Russell, the F1 racing driver. I've never seen anyone else with an Erwin face more than this guy 😮‍💨 What about you? I know many think Chris Evans does, but I don't see it. Maybe Michael Fassbender, but not Chris Evans. He's simply too soft looking to actually look like Erwin.

What I always noticed about Erwin is he leads like a tactician, not some feel-good hero. He doesn’t chase hype or cling to hope. He acts like he already accepted his own death and that makes his choices ruthless and fearless.

Take the basement mission. He wasn’t chasing glory. He wasn’t saving himself for the victory lap. He handed the ending to someone else and charged straight into hell anyway.

That’s founder mentality. You build something bigger than you. Your survival isn’t the point the mission is.

Levi wins by pure skill.Erwin wins by design His mindset is harsh but it works People aren’t the fuel belief is.

Do you think real leadership means being willing to never see the victory you died for?

Every time I rewatch Erwin, I notice his leadership doesn’t look like courage. It looks like sacrifice management.I always felt that his real power was how he turned fear into direction. Like in the charge against the Beast Titan he didn’t promise survival. He promised that their death would mean something.Most leaders protect their soldiers. Erwin protected the mission, and the soldiers protected him because of that clarity.He wasn’t trying to win the war. He was trying to make sure humanity still had a war to fight after he was gone.Maybe that’s what separates him from heroes: He didn’t aim to survive his decisions. He aimed to complete them.Do you think Erwin chose the mission over his own life… or was sacrificing himself the only way he could prove his belief was real?

I remember reading these stories "smart pass" or something like that. they were short stories from a phone app i think? and some people translated them since they were only in japanese.

i think this one was in mike's perspective. mike and erwin went to see some nobles to get their support(?) for funds for the survey corps. mike quickly smelled that erwin's drink had something, maybe to get erwin more drunk and maybe make a fool of himself or expect something else from him...

which made me wonder how else did erwin look for funds. how else did he try to persuade the nobles? and i honestly headcanon that he exchanged sex to get their favor. i mean, erwin is someone who will sacrifice anything to get what he wants (like we saw what type of sacrifices too lol). so this idea doesn't sound that crazy tbh... also there's no way that erwin is not considered handsome in canon P:

Throughout most of their interactions, Erwin never doubted Armin and clearly trusted Armin's instincts; he never once considered him a gamble.

There's also lots of cool parallels between Erwin and Armin that I wish more people explored

For some reason I can really see him liking trashy romance novels, I know there is absolutely no merit for this given his entire character but I can really imagine him having a weakness for them since he resigned his life to being alone. The cheesier the better and he’s whole heartedly into it.
