 * Ahh I see. ^_^ Well, anyone is free to edit as long as the information added to the articles is written well enough and its source is either anime or manga, in other words, no speculations or even fanfics should be added. 18:40, July 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * It says that "Levi" is a Hebrew name of "disputed origin" and that it means "He who joins".  First of all, "Levi" is not of "disputed origin" - it is very clearly the name of Jacob's 3rd son in the Bible (Book of Genesis) and is a very traditional Hebrew name.  Although "He who joins" is not a completely inaccurate translation, it is better translated as "The Accompanied", from the Hebrew word מלווה, to accompany or to escort.  The Biblical origin of the name is because Levi's mother, Leah, states that this 3rd son will accompany (or join with) her other two sons, Reuben and Simeon.   Notably, Simeon and Levi (when paired) were considered an unstoppable military force, as they together wiped out the people of Shechem after they raped the brothers' sister Dina - so ascribing the name Levi to the character may be subtle reference to his military prowess, where Commander Irwin serves the analagous partner to the Biblical Levi's brother Simeon.

Video of Episode 22 fight between Female Titan and Levi
Could you please put the video where Levi attacks the Female Titan? It is considered the best fight scene. I really appreciate it.Jennicious (talk) 03:41, September 10, 2013 (UTC)

Captain vs Lance Corporal
I've been bugged by this mix of title-naming with Levi due to the vastly differing rank of Captain vs Lance Corporal. As such, I have since bothered to look up the differences and possible reasoning for either translation. After a long search, I've come to the conclusion that Lance Corporal could very well have been a minor mistranslation. I managed to find a blog post concerning this that breaks it down and why Captain is possibly the more accurate title for Levi: click here the link What do you guys think? It seems pretty spot-on, and while some may argue that using "Lance Corporal" makes sense due to SNK being of Japanese origin, one could also argue that the very nature and camaraderie shared by Squad Levi reflects the same medieval inspiration as outlined by the blog post, and as such, makes for a convincing argument for the use of the term "Captain".
