As far as emotional devastation is concerned, very little anime can strike a hole in the chest as Attack on titanium. In AOT, death is not just a plot or a way to increase bets. It is a perennial force that will tear the fans of the characters themselves who are of hope, sometimes with a warning for a moment.
Unlike a series that saves favorites to the end, the attack on Titan is pulling any blows: no one is safe, not the most daring soldiers, not comical relief, nor those who seem inviolable. So here is the ranking of the eight most devastating characters of the characters in the attack on Titan, which is assessed by mere emotional damage, the impact of the story, and the scars that remained on the fandom.
Marco Bodt
A betrayal that forever redefined trust
-
Episode: (Season 3, Episode 15)
Marco Bodt was never the saddest member of the 104. Cadet Corps, but it was his heart. His death in season 1 is quietly devastating, but full weight only hit in season 3, when Flashback reveals a terrible truth: Marco was betrayed by comrades.
Marco heard Reiner and Bertholdt's secrets, he was left defenseless – unraveling Reiner, Berthold and Annie, then ate Titan while his supposed friends follow the shadows. What Marco's end is doing so persecution is not just brutality, but complete confusion and heart break on Marco's face when the realization is planted. There is no last stand, no heroic sending, but only the dawn of the horror of betrayal and the cruel randomness of death in the war.
Isabel Magnolia & Furlan Church
Friends who created Levi's way
-
Episode: Attack on titanium: No Lifrets – Part 2 (OVA)
Fans only for anime know Levi as a stoic, unstoppable power, but without regret they pull out the curtain to show much younger, more vulnerable Levi and two friends who meant everything to her. Isabel's unlimited energy and Furlan's sharp pragmatism were the only light in the darkness of the underground. Their death comes at once and brutally: Titans attacked the expedition, Furlan is torn in front of Levi's eyes, while Isabel's fate is sealed by Titan's jaw.
Levi arrives too late, forced to mourn in the rain and crash what remains of her found family. Their loss did not solve Levi; He completely remodeled it. This tragedy is a smithy that shapes Levi's loyalty to the reconnaissance choir, determination of cold and rejection again. Fans who see this story never look at Levi's ice exterior in the same way.
Carla Jaeger
A mother whose death has changed everything
-
Episode: (Season 1, Episode 1)
If there is a single moment that sets the tone Attack on Titan's The ruthless world, it's the death of Carly Jaeger. In the first episode, Eren's loving, protective mother crushed under a little when Wall Maria Falls. Then she swallowed her slowly and frighteningly smiling with titanium while Eren watched helplessness.
This is more than a personal tragedy; It is the birth of Eren's rage and sparks that light the whole story. Carly's last moments are almost unbearable. Her desperate requests to run Eren and Mikasa, and her last words before her ultimate victim, make the audience last today.
Hannes
When a second chance ends up in a well -known tragedy
-
Episode: (Season 2, Episode 12)
Hannes was more than a supportive figure. It was a piece of the soul of the family of Jaeger's family, a guard whose presence brought warmth to the darkest corners of the series. That's what makes this death in season 2, so glitters the soul. Years after she did not save Carla, Hannes will get another chance to face smiling Titan.
Hannes, powered by and love, is charged to protect Eren and Mikasa just to meet the same fate as Eren's mother. When children look, he is bitten in half, again helpless. It is a cruel and tragic echo of the episode one, forcing Eren to experience the worst nightmare again.
Levi's Special Operations Squad
When Hop has torn in a few minutes
-
Episode: (Season 1, Episode 15)
Levi's hand -selected group – Peter, Eld, Oloo and Gunther – was the best humanity and Eren's last defensive line. Their fast, brutal female Titan massacre is the first moment when the series truly pulls the carpet out of the fans by killing each team member as mosquitoes.
The loss of the team intervened at all levels. For Eren it is the collapse of the newly discovered trust; For Levi it is a personal wound that deepens the legendary stoicism. Meanwhile, the audience is left stunned – it does not realize any amount of skills does not guarantee survival in attacking Titan's world.
Erwin Smith
Commander who chose humanity before dreams
-
Episode: (Season 3, Episode 18)
Few characters embody sacrifice as commander Erwin Smith. During the Battle of Shiganshin, Erwin leads recruits to a suicide charge against Beast Titan – a desperate but brilliant move designed to shoot Levi victory. Erwin's end, which was hit by a flying boulder, is not heroic in the traditional sense; It is sudden, brutal and colored with regret.
The emotional peak comes when Levi is forced to choose between the rescue of Erwin and Armin. Finally, he gives Erwin a peaceful death – he mimics the silent request of the commander for rest. This loss closes the chapter in the search for humanity in truth and eventually leaves an emptiness in the reconnaissance choir that is never fully fulfilled.
Sasha Braus
When the victory changed in seconds to a heart break
-
Episode: (Season 4, Episode 8)
It is difficult to imagine an attack on Titan without Sash's infectious energy and love for eating. A clear member of the 104. Sasha was a beating heart of the team – one who risked everything to save a stranger and always found a way to smile. This is what caused death in season 4 to hit like a ton of brick.
Sashove shot the last word “meat” Gabi after the raid at Liberio, landing as a tragic joke and a blow to the intestine. The consequences are raw: Connie's restlessness, Jean's silent heart break, even Levi's calm slips. Sash's death becomes another reminder that in AOT the happiness is fleeting and no character is ever safe.
Hange Zoë
A final, fiery attitude of a scientist against the apocalypse
-
Episode: (Season 4 Part 3 Special)
Hange Zoë, a brilliant, eccentric commander, gave the world an attack on Titan wild experiments and some of its most fresherish leadership. The last stand in the last season is tragic, but legendary: himself against the advancing colossal titans, Hange buys precious time for the alliance, he took off more enemies than they consume them with flames and steam.
When the body burns, Hange's last smile becomes a scene that causes fans to tear. The impact of Hange's victim is immense. It signals the loss of the last old guard and indicates the passage of the new generation torch. For viewers, it is a combination of pride and heart break-to see the fans of the favorite to go exactly as he lived: wildly, selflessly and without regret.
