I haven't shed so many tears during a single episode in awhile. What is this anime doing with me...
The dreams that lead us to new horizons are the ones worth living for.

Screw them, if i was Levi i'll give the serum to myself and destroy everything

Jk tho i'll give it to Armin, because i agree with Levi's reasoning, to keep living in that hell was a punishment already and after he went to basement he didn't have anything else to hop on.

So I either save an old, smart man who can't fight anymore because he lost an arm or a young, smart man who has his best days still ahead of him. I think the choice is easy.


He would have his arm grown back. Keep in mind Eren lost his arm and leg before he transformed for the very first time. Armin is also sort of a crybaby while Erwin is one of the most inspirational characters ever. I think him blaming himself for the deaths of the soldiers was just him being too hard on himself. He was the true leader and will be sorely missed.
However, that said, I understand why Armin was chosen and this very instance was one of very, very few examples where the explanation presented in the show was actually something I both could agree with and accept and this is a cosmically rare exception from the usual stupid plot twists, ESPECIALLY shounen plot twist.
What an episode.

It was a hard choice and neither one was correct, finding out the truth is as much of a neccessity to explore the world as is having the desire to reach the sea. Only from an emotional standpoint was letting Erwin die a better cause. We can only speculate if Erwin would've gone further after finding out the truth or not.

People forget that Armin wouldn't have gotten any accomplishments without Erwin who was the driving force behind pretty much everyone.

Either way Armin will surely become an excellent strategist.

I would've chosen Erwin tho

I mean thats not really a good comparison. They had Eren as a titian, and more experienced survey corps members inside, while outside everyone was completely new, with no buildings in sight, they couldn't cover at all. If Armin was outside he wouldnt've gotten better results either, that's for sure. In fact I dont think he would be capable to sacrifice the rest just to kill the beast titan off, so they wouldve just gotten massacred there without getting any results.

Thank you Erwin only had horses and inexperienced horses in an open field, his mission was much more hopeless than Armin's. In the end they both the did the same thing anyway, sacrificing themselves to let Eren and Levi finish off the job.

Capturing Reiner was done by other characters, who had thunder spears and Mikasa. Their incompetence led to Reiner being taken away again, not Erwin's fault Levi was unable to finish off the Beast Titan.

Erwin was an armless man ffs, he accepted being a burden since then, his last accomplishment was a suicide charge, nuff said.

Lol his arm would grow back and Armin commited suicide too.

Erwin.
Because choosing Armin is indeed the wrong choice for the purpose of the story, just like Eren's choice when dealing with Female Titan, which resulted in Petra and other Levi squad being killed.
I think Erwin will be more immune from the influence of Bertholdt's memory.

Armin, I wouldn’t want to be on bad terms with the most important piece, Eren, and the second strongest Ackerman, Mikasa, simply.

Who knows, maybe the trauma could potentially render one of them useless so that’d definitely be daunting for Paradis Island.

When I first watched the episode, it was really hard to choice (even though my heart belongs to Erwin), so so hard and it even baffled me how many didn't care about Erwin and chose Armin.

After watching the episode 3 times, I realized that I would go for Erwin, I love and respect Armin but I still think that Erwin is better, I just can't let him die, this man is THE GOAT!
and this story taught me that there's nothing that easy, so this might be a trick to make us believe that Armin is the better choice, but he might fail hard in the future, and everyone would start regretting losing Erwin, ha but that would be too late :)

Although, I'm pretty sure Levi didn't give the serum to Armin because he's a better choice or so, but he actually made a personal and selfish decision, by letting his beloved friend get a rest from this hell.

I believe, picturing Armin as the one who is optimistic and wants to see the sea in this episode is just to make us think everything is gonna be fine.

At the end, both Erwin and Armin are slaves to their dreams like Kenny said, actually everyone is. So it's funny when many are making it look like Erwin is the only slave in that situation.

RIP GOAT.

Same as Levi..........

Let the man rest......he had to play the role of a devil all this time.

Coming back and seeing all this sacrifices would have affected him severely.

Moreover Erwin was prepared to die during that final charge.

I always thought Erwin should've been saved but would I really be okay with seeing cinnamon roll dying? I think it would have hit me harder than seeing Levi's sad face when Erwin died.

Erwin. He is just the most rational choice. I mean come on, an experienced Leader whose deeds are the most essential achievements in human history versus a smart kid. The sheer fact that people really say that Erwin would not have any ambitions after he reached his goal ist just unbelievable. He had one weak moment before charging to his death and everybody loses his mind.. Its pretty human and common to doubt and fall into despair when you get cornered like that and his "thank you" to levi was rather a "thank you for snapping me back to reality" than a " thanks for letting me rest,finally.". His facial expression right before getting hit by a rock was that of a man whos terrified and wants to live not a man whos about to be free of his burdens. His final moment was that of him raising his hand where he started the revolution and people still call him unambitious? Not to mention that Kennys " drunk on something "speech goes for Armins dream to see the sea too. So yeah, Armin was not only rationally but also subjectively speaking wrong. I mean Levi finally gets the choice to save someone dear to him and he decides against it because of some dreaming kid who hypothetically is important? Nah fam

Tough decision. I would have probably tried to split it, since Rod only needed to lick a few drops for a huge ass titan. The problem would be getting another shifter to eat, right?
So back to one person.

Probably Erwin. He is just the leader they need. I know he tried to build up Armin as the brains of the scouts, but IMO they need a strong leader more than brains.

Rod ended up as an abnormal titan that could only crawl due to the drops and historia putting his back out of commission, so I think you have to ingest the full serum for it to have positive results.

he ended up as a 170m titan. IIRC you need to eat a shifter to gain intelligence

Yeah, however, armin was a crispy potato chip and he ended up fine as a titan thanks to the full injection, rod however, had a broken back and only a couple drops, which hindered him to crawl on his face as a titan, so the amount you take in can definitely have an impact on your titan form depending on your injuries before hand.

Yeah, however, unrelated. He was just way to massive to stand

Rod's case was he directly ingested the spinal fluid which turned him into an abnormal Titan.


But if it is injected in the blood one wouldn't turn into a Titan that abnormal.

Everyone likes Armin more, he did contribute a lot and is one of the main characters but at the moment he can't replace Erwin. Armin can't be the commander, he lacks experience, charismatic leadership and probably more. Erwin shouldn't be the one to die, he still has an obligation to lead humanity to victory with all the human sacrifices that he made even if he learned the truth in the basement. Armin also has to suffer the stress and responsibility for living at the cost of Erwin

I would choose Erwin. I love Armin don't get me wrong but Erwin is just a better pick imo. Erwin was a man who knew how to get stuff done even at the cost of his comrades lives. Armin was smart but he fails to realize that Paradis cannot get along with the rest of the world diplomatically. If I had no knowledge of the future situation the Scouts would be in, I would have definitely choose Erwin.

I get what your trying to say, but it just doesn't make sense to me. Everyone in AoT has suffered enough including Armin. It's not a case of who has suffered enough but rather who can stop the suffering.

If the guilt trip factor of Levi knowing that Erwin wanted to finally be at peace was not an issue. ie if Erwin was still iron-willed to continue in his mission for humanity….
oh F***ng Erwin hands down. But as it i’m recalling correctly, Erwin went into the final charge at the Beast Titan content with this being his end, him finally resting after years… everything.
But Armin, who even Levi quickly pointed out he’ll never fully fill Erwin’s shoes, is youthful mind with untapped potential intelligence that can help to bring a better future for humanity.

So in short, if Erwin was still headstrong and ready to continue the war and NOT content with finally meeting peace in death:
Erwin 10000% over Armin.
But given the circumstances of the situations of both characters:
Armin was perhaps the best choice
