We all got hit with the Mandela Effect with Levi being an Ackerman by the Founding Titan years ago

[lukaslambs]

How many of you guys knew Levi was an Ackerman? I did too, I think I saw it on social media somewhere and didn’t think much of it. I only realized it was a mystery for so long in the story when I rewatched it with my girlfriend who hadn’t seen it. I’m convinced the founder altered our memories.

[mashonem]

me realizing that Levi’s last name wasn’t common knowledge at one point and that the phenomena of everyone knowing his last name is something we’ve all experienced 🤯

[cricketjuices]

dude I felt the same way about the whole "Levi is an Ackermann" reveal!! idk why none of us questioned it either, but I feel like from the get go we all just figured he and Mikasa were related because they were the strongest and both had black hair lmao. maybe it's because there are so many deep mysteries in AoT, the whole fandom saw Levi and Mikasa being OP and were like "oh okay they're related. anyway wtf is going on with titans in the walls" and just never thought more about the Ackermann connection lol

[deralmighty]

Fun fact: Levi was referred to as just “Levi” in the AoT video game, which tells a simplified version of the first season’s story.

[olly]

The animation of Hange and Moblit flying down and taking out the MPs is one of my favourite pieces of animation from this season, it's so much fun

[skechers]

I always thought it was a great way to show the difference of mindset between the scouts and MPs... Marlo and Hitch are "hunting." But really theyre just chatting. Trampling through the woods and bantering back and forth. The scouts could hear them coming from a mile away.

[aloveaffairwithself]

In the origin story of Levi, Kenny is narrating how he met Levi. We knew Kenny’s name was Ackerman. But, Levi didn’t know. Kenny says he was going to go see his sister. Finds her dead, and then raises Levi enough to take care of himself. Not knowing that Kenny was actually related to him. That was the first clue that Levi was an Ackerman. Also, Kenny stated how much contention came with being attached to the name, Ackerman. And reiterates this when Levi says his name is “Just Levi”. This was way before Levi reveals he’s an Ackerman.

Nothing better than sitting down with some food ready to listen to the best over analysis on yt

Episode 41 has one of my favorite scenes which is the one with Erwin and Nile. Erwin knows these people well (all the people within the walls as well) so when he asks about Nile's family (which he knows by name) but he mistakenly (I think on purpose) say The Stohess District as to where they live. Nile corrects him and says Wall Rose and that he hasn't seen them in quite awhile says that they should be ok but realizes he really has no idea, and even ask why Erwin asked that.
I think it was to get Nile to think of them and and to think of Wall Rose specifically because in the coming coup they will name Wall Rose as being breached. I think Erwin even knew that it has been some time since he has seen his family as well and with all that has been going on they might not be in the forefront of his thoughts.
Erwin simply asking about them put them there so when the shock of hearing about the breach his thoughts will go directly to them....Erwin is by far my favorite character in the show and scenes like this are exactly why.
Keep up the excellent work! Happy New Year everyone!

I have a Garrison Regiment tattoo. They are the only ones who never became domestic terrorists. As a regiment, they were the ones who never hurt other humans and only worked towards fighting titans.

The mystery shack returns!!! Love the new retrospectives

[curtisjackson]

Man I so blessed to have this retrospective series to look forward to

...AND WE ARE NOT EVEN HALF WAY YET!!

Literally cocaine into my veins every time a new video gets uploaded lol. Keep up the amazing work Korotos 💯💯💯

[mozeyad]

one of the things I liked the most about AOT is that even after they overthrew the dinosaur government, things didn't magically become good and they lived in peace ever after, what happened is what usually happen IRL when governments are overthrown the people go bonkers and crime becomes rampant and ambitious evil people take power.

[ChrisFTW]

this show constantly proves how excellent it is by excluding the main character and still composing incredible episodes filled with meaning

[BertoPlease]

I also have a vague memory of knowing Levi was an Ackerman before the anime revealed it. Not only did I not read the manga, I also didn't watch season 2 onward until after season 3 concluded, so I'm also curious how this came about 🤔

[mew]

i just gotta say I really look forward to sitting down and watching these every time I see one in my notifications. Always amazing work that helps me appreciate a story I love even more. Easily one of the best YouTube finds in 2023 for me

[wooloosus]

Levi being an Ackerman was a big manga spoiler. I remember it happening between season 1 and 2, and it being shocking, but then everyone was like "yeah that makes sense" and quickly moved on.

[thesushicat]

I just binged all the episodes during Christmas season and this is like a late gift

[andagain]

Hange is so strong, as seen with Flagle, and with Pastor Nick on top of the wall
