The Saddest Deaths in Attack on Titan

[@Bluwie._.piixxee]

As soon as Sasha died, all the happiness from the show disappeared. It went from a somewhat hopeful show to, just depressing. AOT was a sad show throughout, but it felt hopeful. We got to see adorable moments of the team, Levi being a neat freak, sasha running after eating a potato and overall it seemed Eren and the team would kill the titans and settle happily in the new world. But then season 4 came...Sasha's death marked the last bit of happiness leaving the show.

[@Sergio-F]

It's amazing how isayama told us how the season 4 was going to be like with just that scene

[@ErenAhmedKhan]

AOT was always dark

[@Zero-dead-]

She, Connie and Jean were the comic relief characters but once one or all of those types die in the show, the show takes a turn into darkness. We see Connie lose his outgoing and enthusiastic spirit completely after her passing, the same way Jean loses his typical blunt personality and spiral into what I can only call depression and anxiety.

Colt’s death was pretty sad: not just his love for his brother but all the deaths and mindless titan transformations that followed immediately after

[@blueblur5995]

Yeah. The other officers and commanders like pixis and hange were pretty sad to go with both of them excepting the truth of their fates. Pixis transformed and they showed how he looked when he changed. His pupils dilated and he close his eyes and just waited. Hange died like a true scout and gave her life to help save humanity in and out the walls.

[@nathanuielrushmer-osulliva8116]

Him and nanaba

I felt very sad when Marco died..his character is not impactful at all ..but how he died it made me very sad ..

Marco wasn't included in this list for one obvious reason. Some people hated the characters in the list, some people liked them. But everyone fucking loved Marco

[@jakesjr]

For me Mike Zacherias was the saddest…

[@thevirgotay]

Eren & hange had me down bad. 💔😭

those 2 were the most annoying. Eren 1-3 was good, but season 4 went full psycho and deserve to die. Hange was kinda cringe.

[@blackmask1962]

Miche zakarius, the best character from scouts in my opinion. He was my favorite character and I think he deserved to be the next scouts leader. He was more tactical than Erwin, in season 1 before the expedition he was the single man who fiind out the Erwin plan with Eren (you really using that with me, Erwin?) So far the strongest after levi who have ackerman blood.

Levi’s squad death changed me, idk what it was, it was just so gruesome. But Sasha’s death has always stuck with me. And watching AOT fully for the first time was sad, seeing characters and being like “their about to die”

The saddest death for me is probably Levi Squad, especially the aftermath where they show the families and Petra's father comes up to talk to Levi. It's the first time in years that I've dropped a tear while watching something, also the first time while watching Aot.

[@ErenRaven]

Just reading comments and realized how many characters died in the show and many of their deaths was pretty sad. I would also mention Bertholdt, because during the whole episode I was torn apart about decision who will live Erwin or Armin (I wanted Armin) and after Armin was chosen I felt like I should feel relief, but I couldn't because Bertholdt was crying for help like crazy and it cut me off guard completely.

Not many are talking about Ymir's death (probably because she died off-screen), but knowing she wasn't coming back right after everything that happened through Season 2 destroyed me.

[@user-uh3bm2re8q]

Eren's death is the saddest for me... the fact that he had his eyes closed that whole time the rumbling was happening and when he opened them they where red showing that he was crying that whole time. It's sad that Mikassa was the first and last thing Eren saw during this anime Aot is one of the saddest anime's I have ever laid eyes on and the death on Levi's squad was truly heart breaking. God I can't even think of how I would feel if Hajime Isayama decided to kill everyone Because originally he wanted to end the anime off by everyone dying but thank got he didn't I love aot sm I love how the songs always have a meaning to it. I love it sm and I hate to see it go. after 10 years it's finally time to let it go I don't think there is ever going to be an anime like this.
