“Now that Erwin is bedridden in a coma after his injury, it falls to me to make some decisions on his behalf. I did that to make sure he would be able to sleep peacefully so that when he wakes up, he can enjoy the peace of mind instead of worrying about unnecessary concerns.”
Levi is so nice with Erwin, he really cares about his health and his peace of mind.
“He just has a rude attitude… but he cherishes his comrades’ life more than anyone else. His reputation cannot be established based on strength alone, humans can subconsciously detect how much concern others have for them… and when they notice this kindness, it inspires power…That is something that I can’t do. […] However, if I stand alone in this authoritative position, I wouldn’t be able to maintain the SC. Because he’s at my side, the SC soldiers are able to fight heroically. Levi and I’s positions cannot be exchanged.”
Without Levi’s trust, Erwin could not do his job. He admires what Levi brings to him and thinks he does not have himself. These two men are a real couple inside SC.
“When members of the Ackerman clan devote themselves to their liege, they’re able to unleash extraordinary power.”
The liege of an Ackerman is his strength.
“The trustful relationship with Erwin seems to be special to Levi. Although he doesn’t appear to give Erwin any respect, he always follows his decision. Even when it ends up with failure, Levi never shows any displeasure or doubt against Erwin. On the other hand, he tells Erwin not to worry and encourages him. A strong bond that got over win-or-lose and any benefit. “
Erwin and Levi have a real relationship of support, equal and balanced. They have with each other a special relationship that they have with no one else.
“So I choose the guy whom I want to put my faith in. Erwin is like that, too. No one knows what he is really thinking deep down. But I trust his judgement. He may be inviting the worst outcome, but he’s not afraid of that, he is able to choose something. That’s the kind of guy he is. That’s why I chose to follow him. And I chose to fight.”
Levi’s declaration of faith to Erwin… No need to impose another soulmate to Levi, he clearly made his choice freely.
“If Erwin was someone soft-hearted enough to compromise battle strategy, I wouldn’t follow him.”
Levi Ackerman, AU Smartpass - Erwin & Levi Close Up Interview Part 2
Erwin’s ability to carry out his missions, even if it means sacrificing soldiers, is a quality to Levi, he admires him for that.
“He is just following Erwin’s order to take Eren under his wing. If it weren’t for Erwin’s order I don’t think Levi would do even that.”
We can say that without EruRi, another ship whose name we will not pronounce could not even have been imagined.
“[…] because of the relationship between Erwin and Levi, if Erwin has already decided on something, then Levi thinks that it is the right thing to do. In other words, Levi prioritizes it [Erwin’s orders] more than his own safety or the safety of his subordinates […]”
Levi obeys Erwin’s orders because he recognizes his intelligence and foresight. Erwin is always right, know it.
“[…] Levi is a person who becomes a significant part of Erwin’s flesh and blood […]”
How to hallow in one sentence the fusional & carnal dynamics between Erwin and Levi…
“But regardless if whether or not they have any romantic feelings for each other, which we can argue until the cows come home, there is definitely something — some mystery to their friendship that we as an audience are left to our own devices to infer, which I think is interesting.”
Michael Tatum, about EruRi, The Attack On Titan Voice Panel Tokyo in Tulsa 2014
Okay, this is only the point of view of Erwin’s English voice, but that deserves to be relayed, because this man is blessed.
“Captain Levi always has his meals together with Commander Erwin after every expedition.”
Mikasa Ackerman, Survey Corps’ Special Appreciation Party Squad - Operation: Hospitality
This is called behaving like two married men^^
“The body is skeletonized and the bones are collected and brought back home by Levi.”
Hajime Isayama, to ISYM’s fan gathering @ 3 Mar 2018
This is the kind of thing you do for a person you love.
“Part of me feels like Levi fulfilled his duties by being there for Erwin’s last moments.”
Yes, the real mission of Levi, his mainspring, was to be with Erwin until the end. Try again to deny the Ackerbond and EruRi after that.
