Rip Moblit, honestly one of the most competent soldiers humanity has ever seen. Let's list some achievements: 1. Literally saved his commander by thinking of a solution in about three seconds. 2. He's survived for at least five years making him a veteran soldier and has killed many titans. 3. Participated in the battle against the Interior Police

[@misssecre]

I think Erwin will choose Armin and Armin will choose Erwin. Erwin: He let Armin lead the search in the walls and compliments him. This means that he considers Armin's potential. Erwin also accepted his fate and said "We die trusting the living who give meaning in our sacrifice". For Armin, of course, he respects Erwin so much. He knew that he will never be as good as him. Until now, we can observe how Armin still compares himself to Erwin when it comes to decision-making. They both have amusing dreams. They are both ready to sacrifice their dreams for the sake of humanity. They are both ready to give the syringe to each other if they had a chance. What makes them different is their leadership. Erwin has intelligence with guilt while Armin has intelligence with doubts.

[@luccasliuti8098]

Erwin's dream was an obsession, created by the guilt from his father death. It is a destructive dream that made him sacrifice everyone around him. So giving up that obsession freed Erwin.

[@josephmenasandoval3419]

[@eden.a7558]

The ironic thing about this decision, is that after all of the arguments on who would be better for humanity - none of that mattered. The decision was ultimately made purely based on emotions by all sides. Eren and Mikasa wanted to bring their friend back, disregarding humanity’s future. No matter what reasons they brought up, their connection to Armin was the deciding factor. And on the other hand, Levi, who was trusted to make a logical decision on the fly, chose Armin only because of his connection to Erwin. Levi didn’t decide who will live, he decided who will die. He saw how enslaved Erwin was to his dream. How it took over his life. What would’ve happened if he reached the basement? He doesn’t even know. His life has one end goal, and there’s nothing after that. So Levi decided to set him free, to let him pass on. I think it’s valid to discuss who would’ve been the better choice, but personally I think the point of that scene is that it doesn’t even matter.

[@junior523]

True

[@fauzuliana]

iya. menurutku, jika levi menggunakan logikanya, dia akan memilih Erwin. armin memang cukup jenius (walau kurasa levi tak peduli itu).. tapi armin pilihan yang terlalu beresiko karena erwin adalah tokoh yang sangat amat berpengaruh di antara para prajurit bahkan semua manusia di dalam dinding.. Erwin cukup mampu mencegah perpecahan diantara orang-orang. jikalau memang erwin nantinya merasa hampa setelah menggapai mimpinya, aku yakin dia akan tetap menjadi komandan yang hebat karena pasti dia akan terus mengingat para prajurit yang gugur

[@veraaurelis8931]

Yup. But also ultimately if we look at if from the reader’s POV, Armin’s survival makes sense since it’s passing the torch to the next generation and all that. Narratively speaking.

[@mkazaa]

it was an emotional decision on his part true and he did it so that his friend could be laid to rest and no longer be forced to play the role of devil that everybody viewed him as, however it also makes sense from Levi's perspective. When comparing their dreams and taking into account what Kenny said to him he realised that once Erwin had seen the truth in the basement there was a chance he simply would lose interest beyond that. The dream he was a slave to was in reach and Erwin himself admitted it. Everything he did, all the plans he came up with and all the steps forward they made thanks to him was in service of reaching this dream so once he had achieved it there was no clear plan beyond that. Maybe he would simply lose that certain aspect that pushed him forward and made him such a great commander since in his mind he already got what he wanted, there was no further reason to try as hard. Meanwhile with Armin he had his eyes set outside the walls. He has proven that he has humanities interest at heart as well. His dream takes him further than just the basement and the truth but to the seas and ultimately they need someone with the drive to go further rather than a commander who might possibly phone it in.

Here’s the thing. IF they could still get to *THE* attack, Erwin would have ended the whole show right there. But I don’t know if they could have gotten there without Armin. I think Eren would have gone off the deep end much faster without Armin. Bottom line, Armin was Eren’s choice, and BIG BIG SPOILERS he is the one who gets the last call in the end.

[@Marta-uv4id]

Levi was dead set in his decision to save Erwin before Erwin raised his hand and asked the question that got his father killed. Erwin has been plagued with guilt about that and the deaths of his comrades as much as he has been obsessed with the truth of the world. So Levi let himself be guided by emotions for once and let Erwin rest without him having to experience more guilt.

[@messingmusic_and_animation]

And as much as it pained Levi, when he saw Erwin use his last breath to bat his hand away before the injection, he still honored his Commander's wish. He knew Erwin was giving it up. But he still respected that. Even if it pained him to do so.

[@Marta-uv4id]

I think what makes this episode so interesting is the fact that you can make countless arguments for either Armin or Erwin being a good choice. You can argue that while Ewrin was the more experienced commander, his goal only reached the basement, while Armin's reached the sea and the whole outside world. Or that while Armin is young and smart, no one can touch the hearts of their soldiers quite as well as Erwin. It's so fascinating that the dilemma in this episode is still talked about even years after it was released.

[@Voidaken]

You actually can't. Armin is objectively better, and you can only make a few arguments for Erwin that still get overtaken by counterpoints. Erwin was actually a terrible commander throughout the duration of the show, assuming he even was all that great off-screen.

[@MadeByIsmael]

@@Voidaken how was erwin terrible? He got the scouts so far with limited knowledge . I'm open to people disagreeing with me... But if you're gonna make a claim as bold as " Erwin was trash" then you better have at least a couple points to back it up.

[@Voidaken]

@@MadeByIsmael Don't put words in my mouth. If you're going to quote me, quote it right. And I didn't even disagree with you; you jumped in to disagree with me, so let's not paint this as I'm on the offensive. Erwin was terrible throughout the show because every single tactic of his backfired and cost the entirety of his sector. Not a single one of his plans were successful while commanding on-screen. If it weren't for X Deus Ex Machina, Erwin would have gotten everybody killed, including himself, for nothing.

[@rahulrahulrake]

@@Voidaken Erwin was a terrible commander?? As opposed to? Shadis? Where most of his expeditions yielded no net positive results. Hange? (spoilersss) There was a literal civil war and a mutiny under her command. Im not opposed to any character, hell I love even characters like Floch and Kenny. But you aint gotta push someone down to justify the other choice. If you have caught up to the recent episodes, characters wishing for Erwin being present is a testament to the man's competence and dependable nature.

[@Voidaken]

@@rahulrahulrake As opposed to irrelevant. You don't negate a character's stats because someone may be worse. Hange(and Erwin) is a commander, not a political leader. Civil war did not erupt under her authority. You "ain't gotta," but I can and did it anyway. There aren't "countless" arguments for Erwin. Just a few. If Erwin has to be pushed down to make that point, then that's the way it has to be. Armin and Hange's insecurity in themselves is not a testament to Erwin. That's like saying Mikasa wishing Eren is present is a testament to Eren's "competence and dependable nature." Clearly he's showcased the opposite.

This is probably the first time I’ve seen someone not get mad at Floch for speaking his mind out because I think he totally deserves a say here. People also are quick to dismiss Erwin’s significance because they are more attached to Armin and want him to live. In my eyes that’s just missing why this decision is difficult and there can be points made for both the characters. I see a lot of people comparing the plans against Beast titan and Colossal titan without taking into account how different those situations were and both Armin and Erwin gave it their all. I love both Armin and Erwin and it really is unfortunate to lose either of those but Erwin had made his peace and suffered enough guilt. It was time for him to go.

True. As soon as he died, scouts fell apart. Hange was trash leader and couldnt tie her comrades together. Armin and hange were too bich and pussies to take attack position. All they knew was how to defend. Erwin knew how to attack and defend. You can clearly feel loss of Erwin and miss him in s4 ep where dahlis Zachary dies and civilians shout "shinzo wo sasageyo" while eren escapes with floch and yeagerists as rebels.

Unpopular opinion: It should've been Bertholdt. also sad fact: Reiner actually cried in the manga when he was saved by Zeke and left Bertholdt behind. That scene on the wall..

@@jasonblack2477 earlier I was complaining about how Reiner actually didn't care about him. Rereading manga opened my eyes. They should've kept such pannels there

@@Daesma999 it really should have been Bertholdt. He’s absolutely the best choice to avoid certain things happening now.

[@Daesma999]

@@MarikitKaNa lol yes. Exactly. Also he deserved to live like come on. And the fact he had Marco-like death doesn't help. He didn't help with killing him at all. He just watched. Him not killing people directly really, not like other Warriors and dying like that is unfair, imo.

[@MarikitKaNa]

@@Daesma999 I'm so sick of people not realizing the Marco parallel and who the victim and perpetrators are in both situations. It's always "this is karma" when it's about the scouts turning into the same people as the warriors, except they never feel bad about it or think about it after.

[@ThatSamoanGuy]

Leadership can be taught. Armin's brilliance cannot. Its a natural gift that he alone possesses. It's an easy choice for me, I give the shot to Armin.

[@ebrimajallow3165]

Erwin was a brilliant strategist anyway. We've seen it since s1 with his formations. S2 with taking back Eren and finding out Reiner and Bertholdt's true identities. S3 with bringing down the government. If you think about it in a war sense, we didn't know Marley would leave for 4 years. If they hadn't, how would Armin develop into a leader so soon. If the war was immediate, Erwin would be the better choice. But if the war was years into the future, as it turned out to be, Armin is the better choice. Though Armin wasn't ready to lead at that point, anyway.

[@dragonballoblivion8273]

Fun fact:Erwin was securing supply lines outside the wall for years, but they couldn't access it because of the boulder armin made eren put up, forcing them to go through another gate and lose all their progress

[@jaxon2122]

I mean, Eren put the boulder there so he could have easily moved it out of the way again. The problem was they didn’t have a way to secure the wall without it, and that was more important. So they decided to use the Eastern gate at first, and then eventually made the horse elevators to go over the walls without the gates, as shown by this expedition leaving from Trost.

[@adamsanchez4349]

It’s crazy that Erwin died and gave up on his one dream in life but died believing in it but Armin was revived and he saw the sea and completed his dream only to be left empty and with all the darkness in the world. It’s so important do you die believing in your dreams or achieve them but be left empty.

[@FDFAMetal]

13:28 in the manga when it shows reiner and zeke on the wall reiner is crying

Levi talking to the already dead Erwin calls back all the way to his VERY FIRST APPEARANCE where he does the same thing to another soldier.

[@ocdstories3854]

"I can't save humanity, and neither can the Commander- BUT ARMIN CAN." ....for those up-to-date on the final season (and/or manga): how telling is this quote borne of emotional fear from Eren?

[@bfedezl2018]

It's a surefire prediction in which he succeeded in said prediction. Literally in the last exhibition they added dialogue to 137 where Eren says to Armin, You saved humanity

Fun fact: Erwin's voice actor, J. Michael Tatum, revealed after the finale that he stopped following the series after Erwin died, because in his words, "If Erwin never reached the cellar, neither would I." I have so much respect for that man as an actor and his dedication to his characters

[@Cassimfan]

See what I love is not only do Levi's own words to Erwin play a role in his choice, but FLOCH'S words do too. Saying killing Erwin would be a mercy, wanting him to 'taste more of this hell', and Levi realizes it's time for Erwin to rest and be free of the cruelty their world heaps upon them. Erwin did not have the hope in the world beyond as Armin does.

How painful and hard decision levi did He really suffered enough to choose between them .but he wanted erwin to be free from his demon

[@karthiiraja17]

This is the point where i agree with floch and the rest of series proves it. But erwin the leader and saviour who makes tough decisions and his leadership is what kept us in the survival of scouts until now

[@vindifference]

7:57 is just a memory lapse. The show has covered this before so we can't afford to forget old things when new things are afoot.

[@yazanbr4377]

Erwin was a slave for his goal to prove his father's theory right ,until his last breath he asked the question that makes Erwin what he is, and Levi recognised that. Always remember Levi didn't chose Armin over Erwin he just set Erwin free

[@sayuri_ehee]

Exactly my point! If Erwin didn't raise his hand(?), Levi would've injected that to Erwin without a doubt. Ofcourse he would've felt bad for Armin but I doubt he would've regretted that choice.

[@aaronalquiza9680]

7:56 by this point she should already know that Grisha ate Founding Titan (King of Walls) before Eren ate Grisha. One of those powers Grisha then had was controlling titans when touching royal blood (end of season 2).

[@Gizmo833]

"You're very smart." I love yalls relationship so much.

[@LillWalker]

Personally it should have been Erwin who lived. If you truly think about it cause not a lot of people did. Yes, Armin had the plan for the colossal titan and them hiding in the wall. But if you look at Erwin’s track record and everything he has the vet experience, commander of the scouts, respect of EVERYONE, people follow him so easily such as the rookies who he convinced to follow him to his death for the plan to stop the beast titan, literally SAVED Erin otherwise he would of went to the MPs, had the plan to defeat the Reiss titan who’s not 50 meters like the colossal but 100 meters, his plan to capture the female titan but not only that damn near succeeded the first time, the plan to overthrow the government and the list just goes on with even his HUGE gambles. Erwin overall was the better pick. As sad as it would be for Armin but Erwin beats Armin on every level. He’s brilliant strategist himself like Armin.

[@finnjackson77]

[@wickedul]

There is a big diffrence in how they think tho armin is good at figuring out stuf but erwin is the one that planed ahead and saw what could happen because of the amount of military expiriance that he had so for me this is a big mistake even tho i wanted armin to get it but when emotions are involved you are bound to make mistakes

[@terra3673]

Bruh honestly fccck Armin...Erwin shud have got it

[@galaxystudios370]

Everyone has already said this: the choice in this episode is heartbreaking either way, because it means one of the best characters in the series is going to die no matter what. However, I have something to say. In my opinion, the choice made was the only choice that could be made, for the simple reason that for the character who survived, there was still a story to be told.
