Sannagi

"I just want to go home and farm."

- Sannagi on his family

San'nagi (サンナギ) is a new recruit for the Survey Corps in the live-action films Attack on Titan and Attack on Titan: End of the World. He is portrayed by Satoru Matsuo.

Appearance
Sannagi is a young man with short black hair and thick eyebrows. He has a stocky build, and wears the standard Survey Corps uniform within the films. His weapon of choice is an axe that he uses to slash through Titan's heels puting them off-balance and bringing them down for the kill.

Personality
He is a mild-mannered, good at heart person who cares about his companions at the Survey Corps and is capable of risking his own life in order to help his peers. He cares very much for his siblings, expressing a desire to go home and farm. While he has 3DMG gear, he often uses an ax in battle to slice a Titan's Achilles's tendon.

Story
Sannagi has several younger siblings and lives on a farm in Yuen. He joins the Survey Corps for unknown reasons, possibly to care for his siblings or as a dedication to humanity, and expresses a desire to return home and farm. One of his sisters, Koyuki, gives him a doll he accepts. He ties it on his ax, as a reminder to return home. When Jean and Eren get into a fight, he laughs at how the two are always fighting.

He says that when the Corps go to Omatechi, they will meet the Goddess of Shikishima's team, who was said to have killed at least ten Titans in half a year. The others laugh it off. When Armin gets confronted by a Titan, Sannagi grabs the Titan's arm and tosses it against a wall. After Souda treats Jean's wounds, Sannagi asks why he hates Eren and Jean jokes that its because Eren's face looks like he is carrying the weight of the world's misery on his shoulders. Sannagi defends Eren by saying that he lost his girlfriend, Mikasa, to the Titans.

When morning comes and the Titans rise, Sannagi goes to the front lines and fights them with his ax. He cuts out the tendons in their legs, knocking them over so the others can take them out. He helps defend Jean, who gets stuck on top of a building swarming with Titans. After they are lured away, Sasha and Sannagi take out the Bearded Titan, with Sasha blinding it with her arrows and Sannagi crippling it with his ax. When Armin is grabbed by the Bloated Titan, Sannagi tries to cripple it, but for some reason, his ax isn't able to break its skin. As the Rogue Titan appears from the corpse of the Bloated Titan, Sannagi wonders if its on their side and is one of the few recruits to see it as an ally. Sannagi is one of the subsequent recruits to see Eren emerge from the Rogue Titan's corpse and flocks around him amazed.

Trivia

 * Sannagi is one of the few movie characters exclusive to the movie that isn't a replacement for any manga character, the other being Hiana. However, he could be a condensed replacement for several characters, such as Connie Springer, who had a desire to make his family proud of him and to return home or Marco Bodt, who cared very much for his comrades.
 * Sannagi is the only movie exclusive recruit who survives the events of the first movie. The other movie exclusive recruits, such as Fukushi, Lil, and Hiana, all perished.
