Hi! I've asked this from a few other levihan blogs too but I'd like to read yours, a different one, too :) Many people believe although Hanji didn't sound or act as dejected in the forest about her offer to live in the forest, Levi did in fact reject her to achieving his goals and all. I noticed they'd call us out on acting too positive. What do you think about this?

Hello! Thank you for the ask.

Levi did in fact reject her for achieving his goals and all?

I want to analyze this from several aspects.

Firstly, it is about the definition of rejection. Levi was no doubt unwilling to live in the forest at that time, even with Hanji. From this point, you can think he rejected.

However, “they'd call us out on acting too positive” - their accusation is obviously not aimed at this, but to say that Levi rejected Hanji's romantic confession, and Hanji’s love is one-sided. Levi obviously didn't show this. I think normal words of rejecting romantic confession should be "I don't love you", or "I love the other person", "we're just good friends", etc...

Levi didn't even refuse the proposal of "living together", it gave me the feeling that he was just saying, "it's not good now. “

Secondly, in my view, Levi's words are actually much more tender than rejection.

“To achieve his goals and all. ”——I think there is something wrong with this. Levi's answer is actually:

このまま逃げ隠れて…何が残る…

If escaping and hiding…like this…what can we keep…

His words did not mention "I still have the goal of fulfilling my oath", or "you are still the Commander. How can you give up everything and escape? " He is saying that once they escape as Hanji's proposal, they will not have happiness, or even hope and pride. He is answering Hanij's proposal from the perspective of “our future” rather than “our responsibility ". In front of Hanji, in fact, he rarely uses "heavy words”.

It’s not the first time Hanji want to escape and hide. In Unprising, she proposed to take everyone to hide for a while because of her guilt and fear towards Nick's death, she even said that they would do some knitting, lmao.

Levi said to her, your words are wrong. Even if time passes, those people will not let us go. If we run away, they will catch up with us and find us one day.

How similar their situation was to that in 126. The outside of the island will be flattened by the Rumbling, and the inside of the island will become the world of Yeagerists. They will become fugitives, and the enemy will not give up chasing them. Even if they avoid the cruel situation and give up resistance, they cannot get security and peace. They can’t find a Paradise for just the two of them, like Eremika.

——Hanji obviously knew this in her heart, but at that moment, she was overwhelmed by fear, remorse and weariness of killing people.

And where Levi's tenderness is—— He knew that Hanji was in depression and made an irrational proposal. He still just gave her suggestions, then asked her what to do. He asked her to make her own decision, then he would follow.

This scene is very similar to 126. So I said that it's more putting forward his views on the situation and future, rather than rejection. He would respect Hanji's decision as before.

Thirdly, what kind of person is Hanji?

In Uprising:

Compared with living a sneaky life like a mouse under the threat of deadly foe, it's better to counterattack them even sacrificing your life.

The guys who killed your father and companions are still alive at ease. How can you live unconcernedly?

Hanji has long shown her way of life. Even without the responsibility of the Commander, she hates "just living" and living under the shadows of the foe. We know that she is very desperate about the current situation. If she goes back and fights the Yeagerist to retake the government, and let them repay their atrocities of plotting to frame their compatriots and turn them into mindless titans, she has to kill a large number of compatriots on the island. Even if she can succeed, she has little confidence to protect everyone against Marley and the world. In this case, it is understandable that she wants to let go of everything and focus on her personal happiness.

So Levi just told her that even if we escape, we won't get any form of happiness.

This is also where I like levihan so much. In my eyes, they don't urge each other with responsibility. Levi just knows what kind of choice and life are in accord with her nature, so that they can be themselves. In this line to Hanji, Levi did not mention his unfinished promise, or even himself, but considered their future.

If for the happiness of living, it’s not that Levi can't put aside his oath for the time being. Just like when he saw that Armin was seriously injured, he immediately stopped to consider injection instead of continuing to chase Zeke; For four years, he has also been performing his duties and never tried to rush to Marley and kill Zeke—— But the situation has been so bad that they have lost almost everything. The happiness of the living is beyond reach. They can only face the cruel reality with their wreckage of lives. If they escaped, they would lose all the opportunity of changing the situation, even lose their soul, then nothing would be kept.
