Why Erwin Smith is the Best Character in Attack on Titan (imo)

- In my opinion, Erwin Smith is the best character in Attack on Titan, and I'll explain why in this video. We will attempt to do a character analysis on the 13th commander of the survey corps, btw ik I butchered the pronunciation sorry (눈_눈) ). After season 3, I think he became the most popular side character of this anime, but I'm not sure about that. There is no particular deep topic in this video, just fanboying and some random memes imbetween.

Erwin never expected anything of his comrades that he didn't expect of himself... they gave everything because he gave everything
well said
colossal titan Erwin is the biggest what-if
Nukes everywhere
After Aot is finished, A spinoff on what would have happend in that case would be fantastic
TRUE
The enemy will probably charge for him too.😂😂
Fax nigga shoulda picked erwin but i realize erwin was ready to rest so i no longer resent Armin 😂
Remember when Erwin saves Eren's ass from Bertholdt in the Armored Titan with just one arm
fookin savage m8
Yeah he endangered his life just to save him and when they had to choose who will take the syringe Eren totally denied it and started simping for Armin
We should also mention the fact that he cut off the thumb of the Armored Titan while doing so.
@@applepie895etetsffsffs imagine not giving the serum to Erwin , thats how dumb humanity got after erwin left :/
Erwin = husband material
He's too high value for 99% of girls tho
He could’ve been but the man didn’t want to put the burden on his partner if he ever died on duty. 😔
Only Levi deserves Erwin tbh 🥺💖
*Daddy Material

"If Erwin told you to jump off a cliff, would you do it?"
Me : *yes, without hesitation.*
Dont forget me besties
Only if he says "ADVANCE! THE CLIFF IS RIGHT AHEAD, ADVANCE!!!"
Survey "crops"!!😂😂
english too hard bruh
@@bstylia14 wow. You sound like a native. Except for that crops.
@@bstylia14 Aside from how you spell the word, your English is actually good, tho
@@bstylia14 Your English is excellent brother. Especially if it's not your first language. Don't let people make you feel otherwise just because of a very minor mistake. I'd say most people "faultfinding" your dialogue, aren't able to speak multiple languages. So they probably don't understand how difficult it is to learn a foreign language and dialect. I enjoyed your video btw and I respect your humility. (I've heard other places around the world dont view humility/being humble as a positive trait. So I wanted to clarify that it is a very positive characteristic to me.) Anyway, you've got a sub from me.
@@phoenixrivers5414 wow, thank you so much!
He is not only well written a madman/badass but obviously has the best voice actor
No, a bunch of them are top
@Hazel who else do u rly like
@Hazel I agree
Eren in season 2 has best voice actor easily.
"You damn traitors!"
And his whole monologue when Hannes dies.
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 lol ye we can't forget that
You can actually feel the weight of his death through out the rest of the series.
it would have been a game of chess between him and the marlyans and zeke
I heard that Erwin was extremely skilled when playing a game of chess, That nobody has ever beat him until armin dam wgagayattat
@@kou1314 Armin is so useless and cowardice after Erwin's death. Total wastage of serum on him. Probably cause of Berthold's nature though.
Definitely my favorite AoT character for life. A true inspiration for what a leader should be if I may say so
Erwin was almost in every episode and I still couldn't get enough of him😍 He was the BEST character from the anime, sure we all love Levi but let's be real Erwin went through a lot more and his way of thinking was no other.
"i have more respect for him than i have for my whole country" you're 100% right bro. erwin's the type of person where everything he says feels so right. hands down the best commander in aot
Erwin: *caugh*
Everyone: Let's fucking gooooo!!!!!!
true 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
*cough
Not "in my opinion", its "our opinion"
Makes me think of a recent meme
Not even our opinion. Just a fact
Is that a...
When he speaks, I get goosebumps
Fun fact: in an official document regarding Erwin's wishes he admitted that if he had to live in peace times all he would have wanted was a quiet life in the mountains. Possibly in a cabin.
This hurts.
There's this one thing you may have missed. In his final CHAAAARRRGEEE, he looked like he doesn't want to be there, like he knew he's going to die there and then. It can mean either the fear of death itself, which is natural, or maybe also he really doesn't want to die. Regardless, I love your character analysis, I nod to every word you said like a fangirl myself.
Yea, the best thing about Erwin is that he's human. He doesn't have the supernatural strength of Levi, nor the titan shifting power of Eren, nor the genius of Armin. He's just a man with sheer fu*king will (John Wick reference xd)
@@bstylia14 Erwin is genius, he was the top strategist
@@ykshay true
I think even more than death.....he doesn't want to fail. He wants to know more than anything what's in the basement. He leaves live glorified but unsatisfied.
thank you for making this video!! erwin's my favourite too, and it's sad to see how widely misunderstood he is in the fandom (i guess that's the price to pay for being such a distant/unrelatable character who's an unreliable narrator of his own thoughts due to his guilt). i always love seeing other erwin fans' analysis of him bc he really is so fascinating
Erwin also recognises Armin leadership quality and encourages him by making ppl follow it.
Erwin is the real definition of masculinity 🥺
Erwin's the manliest in AOT cause he's voiced by the manliest JoJo. That's it.
Teens nowadays think being Diabolical or emotionally broken makes an anime character great.
Character depth depends on how a character builds itself through the hardships even in the tough times.
That's Erwin Smith for you.
This man have steel of balls. Erwin Smith is a man of his words. He speaks like Thanos.
His character is very unique to be honest, he's my favourite out of all.
the very first time he appeared on the show I fell in love with him and now I’m forever an Erwin simp. I like Levi too but damn Erwin has my heart until I die 🤣
I have to agree, can you imagine if we actually met men like that in person. Oh boy.
Oh my gosh same. Powerful, stoic, intelligent, brave and so gosh darn beautiful. There was no way I wasn't going to love him. By the end of season 1, he was my fave
I wish He was chosen instead of Armin.
i agree fuck armin man, the guy wanted to see the basement so much
People still didnt understand levi's choice? It was levi wishing erwin to die. He just chose armin instead of throwing away the serum.
@@xsael8501 no,it was levi realizing that erwin would've just suffer if he revived him.he would surely be a yeagerist tbh,but i doubt he would be as smart and analytical as before knowing he has no motivation left.its either he become a dangerous yeagerist leader or a suicidal man like armin but even more useless.
@@luviawolfhound6078 you literally have no evidence for that and its just based on speculation. You are talking out of your ass.
@@xsael8501 he has no will to live anymore tho,i hope im wrong but erwin without reason to fight would be useless altho still dangerous.
Never knew Erwin was a JoJo reference this whole time.
I feel like Isayama killed Erwin to take the easy route for writing. Had Erwin lived Attack On Titan would have gotten more deep in politics, more world building and etc. The politics from the timeskip was underwhelming Paradis government was incompetent and made fullish gambles. Erwin was the same guy that indirectly usurped the former government Pyxis, Zachley and Nile and the old government were pawns in his chest game all in order to reclaim wall Maria and find out the truth everything he did had a meaning. If Erwin lived he would have done the most logical thing instead of going to your enemy who wants your resources and the Founding Titan he might tried to establish and build relationships with Marley’s enemies. Everyone talks about the outside world hating eldians but people change and will do anything to save their countries. Marley has too many enemies we heard that like 2-3x Hange and Armin displayed incompetence. Erwin should have lived but Isayama didn’t want to write a complex plot.
If Erwin lived to see Marley with his own eyes, his brain would actually explode.
Like shasha
*ooo k cute accent*
That among us imposter reiner part wasn't expected 💀
Good video, soothing music and hilarious editing :)
Thank you so much 😁
btw these are basically 9 min of simping and im loving it
"His selfish reason of wanting to learn the truth was gradually taken over by a selfless goal: the salvation of mankind". I got the complete opposite from reading the manga. When he joins the Survey Corps he realizes he is the only one with a selfish goal. He is ashamed by this and hides his motivations from his comrades. As he becomes the commander he never shakes his Imposter Syndrome. Even in the end, when giving a completely honest speech, he considers himself a con-man and liar. He feels guilty for the deaths of his soldiers too, as he imagines himself standing atop a mountain of corpses. People he feel he tricked into dying for his selfish goal.
Since his goal of learning the truth and the goals of the Survey Corps largely overlap he could justify his actions to himself, but he still felt like a fraud. When Levi doesn't want him on the mission he bluntly states that him learning the truth is more important to him than the succes of humanity. He later mentions to Levi that without that Drive though, he probably would have preferred death as an easy solution. This suggests he has suicidal thoughts as a result of his guilt.
Ultimately, when there is no other option available for him BUT to die heroically, he still cannot choose to do so on his own. He lets Levi order him to abandon his dream and die for the salvation of mankind instead. Erwin smiles because for the first time, he is free from being a slave to his obsession (the Kenny speech) and gets to die like a true Survey Corps commander.
This is why Levi chooses Armin over Erwin. Erwin was finally free, let him rest. (Freedom being the center theme of this series and all that.)
Erwins struggles are further explored through Reiners character. Another person who felt like a fraud, feels the weight of responsibility for many deaths, feels like a con-man and has a death wish.
I love this. I will probably forever be bitter that Erwin wasn't given the serum, but a less selfish part of me can recognise that he was in a lot of emotional pain and was probably happy that he got to rectify some of his guilt by dying a hero's death.
This videos is great!!! Erwin is one of my favourite characters as well, next to Hange and Armin.
Can you make other character videos for AOT characters.
Im interested to see what you think about Levi and Hange in particular.
I would like to make a video on Levi, but I think it's best to save it after season 3. I want to know how the death of Erwin affected Levi in the long run since Erwin is a major influence on Levi.
To be fair, he isn´t flawless. He just doesn´t get a lot of moments where we can see him as a person, not just the commander. Also pretty sure the fear is quite visible on his face when he rides to his death.
What do you mean by "in you opinion"?
*Erwin Smith is the best*
Yep.. He is the most important person in aot.
Dear God that part with the cop tripping.. the voiceover was so perfect. I died. 😂😂😂

Ya I noticed that too😂😂
Very well done!!!! And very astute comments, thank you. Personally I think Erwin Smith is just the sexiest guy in all anime and people are craving to see traditional masculinity on display once again.
This was very well described 👌🏼👌🏼
He died without fulfilling his dream
I cant argue with this
I legit cant argue with this
I love Erwin
Bro Erwin is probably my favourite character after eren. He’s such a badass
The real sad part is that he never got to know the truth, I rarely ever cry at fiction but ngl I kinda cried at erwin death... Alot
Amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Legends never die
I agree 100% mate
An absolute goat . Best written character in aot. Along with pre ch 138 eren
Erwin was just selfish leader who fooled his comrades to achieve his purpose
@@williamxxcdid you not even listen to the dialogues at all lmao??? The whole reason he chose to save armin over him was the best part of his character development. He started his journet out in the corps as someone who will use the soldiers to reach his goal of finding out whats under the basement, at the moment of his death, he realised through out the years he became something he was acting as ( a true leader), he even said the basement and the truth he has been searching for his whole life is a few meter away from him but he chose to save armin as he considered him to be a better candidate for collosal titan over him, at that moment he gave his childhood dream of proving his father right because he wasn’t the selfish person anymore, he was the captain and leader who will value his righteousness over anything including his dreams.
The Bakegroud music is chilling for a show like this
Erwin Smith is the embodyment of a chad. That’s all that needs to be explained to know why he is who he is.
Thanks for the vid, mate!
This is good, he isn my favorite character and also my anime husbando 😔💖
That clip of that CCP dog was prefect
0;59 this is one of the best videos!!!😂👌👍
Title: Why Erwin Smith is the Best Character in Attack on Titan (imo)
Me: "Our opinion"
Thank you so much i appreciate this,
I simp hard for this man
Loved it❤
Ah yes, the true giga-chad.
Shinzou wo Sasageyo!
No, he is _objectively_ the best character
Love the video, one small note is that corps is spelt differently from crops, the survey corps is pronounced more like “core”
It's not an IMO, it's a literal fact
I'd the proudest kid ever if Erwin were my dad
i love him
I like Erwin more then Eren
at 9:06 this man just summed up the attack on titan chapter 137 months before it's release. perhaps he is the current holder of the attack titan and he just yet to unleash it.
If commander Erwin slapped my gf as(if I had one) i would give my heart to the cause
facts
Okay but ERWIN IS THE BEST!!!!
Imagine if levi chosen erwin over armin
Then aot would end very quickly. And he will become a yeagerist, i think.
Well he died in anime :(
yea would be nice if he could see the basement... Though he doesn't have any purpose to live after that
@@bstylia14 To say that Erwin doesn't have any purpose to live after the basement is not true , firstly because it does not go with his personality and less with his ideology.
His dream was always to know what was outside the walls and he already had a plan in case it was a threat.
In episode 12 of season 3 part 1, Levi asks Erwin what he would do after he learned the truth ... and he replies, "Eliminate all threats because outside the walls, there seems to be someone waiting for the Titans to kill everyone, of course the answer to who is in the basement.”
Good video by the way.
Thank God erwin died so yams wont assasinate his character in season 4
Erwin isnt even in my top 5 BUT that doesnt mean i dispute the things in this video. He is all that. I love him. But others resonate more with me
Mm yes survey crops 🪴🪴🌾
I can't believe this needed to be explained..
Takes me out everytime you say crops ahahah
Planting freedom for humanity
I really like your vids but it would help to learn the "correct" pronunciation for certain words and character names cuz it really makes me want to click off . No hate i really like your vids.
I want to know what would have happened if erwin got the colossal
What is the Survey Corps? I thought it was the Scout Regiment.
It's the same thing, it's an alternate name for the Scouts.
1:05
Just another day for the survey corp
*crops
Can’t relate to Erwin?
Speak for yourself
Nigga i on everything no homo i can cry just thinking bout erwin that nigga embodies humanities survival 😂
Yu heard him say survey crops
Levi is top
2nd is Erwin
3rd is Kenny
Eren is like 5th after the manga ended
Survey CROP damn
Survey 🌾👨🌾👩🌾🧑🌾
Advance ❤
oh nooo not me crying rn
S U R V E Y C R O P S
the worst thing in your video is the (imo), Erwin is the best, AND THAT'S A FACT.
I noticed you have a hard time saying the "R", not being offensive but serious question do you feel like your tongue getting held back when trying to say the word "R" i have few online friends and a irl cousin can't say R properly they said their tongue getting held back but different with my cousin his tongue is small.
hmmm i feel like I haven't learned the proper way to pronounce 'R'. Actually, I think most Asians who didn't grow up in English-speaking countries hv problem pronouncing the letter
Survey crops???? bro i-
after watching s4 I know why Isayama decided to let him die in s3 because, imagine that Erwin is alive in season 4 the show will end in two seconds
survey crops
