Attack on Titan
| Hello, guys and gals. If perhaps someone knows, what is Levi's relation with Mikasa? If you don't know exactly what I am focusing on, please, don't read what's under the spoiler tag, because it's a huge spoiler. |
| That hand wrap! Nice find over there. |
| Depends if Ackerman is just a group name or if it's a family name. A lot of people think it's just a group, though I wonder how Mikasa's dad and Mikasa fit into it because they would have had to have been involved to get the name. If it's a family name it's still to early to tell what the relation between Mikasa and Levi would be. Anything is possible. There are lots of similarities between them so it could be a really close blood relation, or they might have both been genetically enhanced. If Eren could become a titan with a serum, then I'm sure there was other sorts of experimentations going on. I don't think their ages can tell us anything either. Levi is supposed to be older than Mikasa, but then again Ymir is supposed to be 60+ years old and she looks 16. Who is to say something like that isn't the case with Mikasa or her parents as well? Levi also looks much younger than he actually is which was on purpose according to Isayama. With all the weird stuff going on nothing is impossible. Regarding that bandage on the wrist, I wouldn't put much thought into that. ACWNR is not related to the manga and Levi's wrist are never shown to have the same bandage as Mikasa ever again. It was just a thing for that cover. Plus the scar on Mikasa's wrist is from her mothers side of the family, so far it's only confirmed Levi would be on the fathers side... unless the relation between them is brother and sister. |

| Good thing they put heavy spoiler in the title since thats where the spoiler is. |
| People who keep saying Levi is Mikasa's dad need to stop. 1. that would mean Levi is white 2. If Levi is white he couldn't be from Mikasa's clan. 3. Levi is pretty short, Mikasa got her height from her dad. The guy in the hat looking for Levi and had just kidnapped Eren and Historia his name is also Ackerman. So it could just mean people of that organization are named Ackerman and Mikasa's father was a apart of it before he went into hiding. |

The surname "Ackerman" would come from the father so If they are blood related it would make sense that Levi is in some way related to Mikasa's father or he could even be her brother. What do you mean "that would mean Levi is white" the dude has blue eyes, he definitely has a lot of European in him, blue eyes are a European trait. |
MikasaxEren said: What do you mean "that would mean Levi is white" the dude has blue eyes, he definitely has a lot of European in him, blue eyes are a European trait. As far as I can tell, Levi was meant to be French, while Eren was clearly meant to be German (Yeager/Jeager means Hunter). It is widely known that both France and Germany were two competitive countries in the past, and I wouldn't be surprised if they would connect the character relations there. So, in the end, saying that "Levi would be white" doesn't really sound weird. The only thing that makes the characters seem more Asian is the fact that they all use the Japanese language to communicate. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure the author wanted to make them all hail from Europe. |
| I think at least both Levi & Mikasa are Oriental clan's descendant. And about Ackerman surname, there must be a reason why Ishiyama made Levi's surname same as Mikasa's. Maybe they're either distant relative or cousin... |

Levi is probably white because he looks exactly like that Terminator 2 kid. http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20071223054157/terminator/images/3/34/Young_John_T2.jpg We don't know for sure, Levi doesn't look like the whites depicted in SNK even with the diversity in facial features he doesn't look white. Fans are speculating he' japanese as Isayama wanted to make the strongest characters japanese descendent i.e Levi and Mikasa. Also Mikasa's dad and Mentor Ackerman could be brothers, that's my new theory |

What do you mean "that would mean Levi is white" the dude has blue eyes, he definitely has a lot of European in him, blue eyes are a European trait. There is no proof Ackerman is Levi's birthname, and there is more evidence put towards Mr. Ackerman giving Levi that last name while mentoring him, or even better being his father. Fans assumed he wasn't white, if Levi is white and has "gray" eyes he can't be related to Mikasa. Levi is estimated to be early 30's and Mikasa's parents looked late 30's. So once again there can't be blood relation. Most plausible is Ackerman is his adoptive name. That Mr. Ackerman and Mikasa's dad were brothers. |
| C'mon, even though I caught up to the manga you just spoiled people with this topic's title *facepalm*. Also, nobody really knows the relation! We just found out his surname is also ackerman ¬¬ and he can be a cousin or brother D: we can't really know |

As for being spoiled by the title, I'll see if I can edit it somehow. |

| Hi gals/guys, time to respawn this topic. Last night I was re-watching the anime, and I noticed a resemblance between Levi and Mikasa's mother. Is it possible that they were siblings? Maybe Levi was her younger brother... and Mikasa's father wasn't actually her father, but ANOTHER adoptive father. Maybe I'm speaking nonsenses, but I wanted to share with you this hypothesis. |
| It's interesting how it's almost impossible to guess--Isayama is good at mysteries. I feel like Mikasa's past (parents' deaths) may have something to do with it; human trafficking may have a factor in the underground. Other than that, I don't think Levi and Mikasa look alike at all; hair color isn't really all that important, and if we're going by tradition, then the surname Ackerman would have come from Mikasa's father. Maybe he was related to Kenny Ackerman and killed off to draw him out or something... Maybe Kenny was looking for the last Asian to pair her up with her relative (Levi). Idk, it hurts my brain to speculate with nothing to go on. |

keragamming said: Check this out. http://fishheart4121.tumblr.com/post/81805126031/something-about-the-new-shingeki-manga-about-levi Omg I didn't even notice that! :O Could it be a simple coincidence? Hm, I don't think so myself... Of course, it could just be the name he inherited from that guy who trained him. Why Ackerman though? But considering the fact that Ackerman was Mikasa's father's name and not her mother's, it might just be a common one. Still, it's not like there are so many characters that Isayama ran short on name ideas... xD |
| Pretty simple really: Kenny Ackerman is the brother of Mikasa's father..He adopted Levi and gave him the Ackerman surname..But Levi doesn't know Kenny's surname..So this means that Kenny must have adopted Levi when he was very young ...Levi has always known him as just Kenny and hence doesnt know his mentor's surname until recently |
| Another possible connection: Kenny adopted both Levi and his sister(Mikasa's mother) when they were very young and gave them the Ackerman surname...Mikasa's mother and Kenny's brother fall in love and decide to live far away as they just want a peaceful life without any trouble from the police..They go to Zhiganshina to live and raise a family there..This is important since Mikasa's mother is one of the last of her race(the other being Levi) and so they decide to get away from their family (Kenny and Levi) for the sake of ensuring the continued survival of their race |

Most people notice that Mikasa looks "different". Nobody has ever said that Levi looks "different" in the manga. 2. Levi has blue eyes, which are a recessive European trait. 3. Levi has a name that I beleive is jewish in origin, but is usually seen on what we would class as "white people". Mikasa obviously has a Japanese name. 4. Levi never noted anything about Mikasa until she got mad at him for beating Eren, even then Levi (who is usually very observant) never seemed to notice any sort of blood connection. 5. Straightish dark hair can be found on Europeans, though obviously it isn't very common. |

All valid points...But it is also possible that Levi is a half oriental person like Mikasa..In that case its quite possible Levi took on the traits of his European heritage while his sister got the Oriental physical traits..Also since Mikasa ended up looking like her mom,its also possible that the Oriental female passes on her physical traits to her daughter only..Which means if Mikasa had a brother,he might have looked like her father.. Mikasa's mother places a lot of importance on the survival of her race..Such kind of dediction towards a nearly extinct race must have been passed through the generations(also makes sense since the Oriental race is considered to have been extinct much before Mikasa's mother was born)...So Mikasa's grandma with the Oriental looks passes on the physical traits to her daughter alone and Mikasa's mother does the same..Would nicely tie in Levi into the plot...And besides,i remember while chasing the female titan,Levi tells Mikasa.."you're the girl from back then''..What if he recognised Mikasa after seeing her get angry at him during the trial? Having said all that i still think the link is Kenny being Mikasa's Uncle or Grandfather through her father's side..Levi probably got the surname since Kenny raised him |

Levi only recognises Mikasa as "Eren's close friend" which makes a lot of sense. Seeing as it was his job to guard over Eren, he's obviously keep tabs on his friends. |

Snow_Dust said: My theory: Mikasa's mother is Japanese, and her dad is white. His surname is Ackerman, and no way it's from her mother, that doesn't make sense at all. Therefore, Mikasa's half-Japanese and half-caucasian (German or Jewish, coz Ackerman is common among Germans and Ashkenazis. And european Jews look white. So whatever. Levi's name is 100 % Jewish. So what, he has black hair? White people often have black hair. Also, he has blue eyes. He can't be Japanese at all, what the heck are you talking about? IF he's related to Mikasa, it's from her dad's side. It's logical. Now, let's see what we have. Two possibilities: 1. Levi is not related to her, he just took surname from Kenny. Kenny might be Mikasa's father's older brother or even father (Mikasa's grandfather). 2. Levi is actually the son of Kenny. Therefore, he's either Mikasa's cousin or uncle. I doubt Levi would have Ackerman super soldier skills if he just took Kenny's surname..He must have the Ackerman blood in him too..He's definitely related to Kenny IMO |
onyxK said: If I'm not mistaken. Mikasa is half Asian. Her mother was Japanese. Father European. Kenny Ackerman is Asian as well but im not sure which nationality. But I'm sure his family is related to Mikasa's. Levi, however, is adopted by Kenny hence his surname is Ackerman. Just my thoughts so... You probably haven't read chapter 65. |
| Well. I have seen Attack on Titan and there is rumor going on there. I heard rumor about blood relative between Mikasa and Levi. We will have to wait until Hajime Isayama will confirmed about Attack on Titan's truth. Just like two Reki Kawahara's light novel series where the connection between Sword Art Online and Accel World until Reki Kawahara will confirmed about the truth between Sword Art Online and Accel World as canon. *Warning - If you haven't seen nor heard either Sword Art Online nor Accel World, don't show the spoiler* |
Aiste_kaneki said: so Levi and Mikasas are cousins. PrisonerofMoe said: Mikasa and Levi would be cousins. I support this, because of the latest chapter I cannot think otherwise. |
 |
| I kind of doubt there is a close relation between Levi and Mikasa. Think about it, Levi's mother lived as a prostitute while Mikasa's parents lived as normal citizens until those shady people came and killed them. If Levi's and Mikasa's mothers were sisters, I doubt one would live under horrible circumstances as a whore while the other is just living peacefully. |
