WARNING: Contains Attack on Titan Spoilers
3 Attack on Titan Characters (Female) that Should’ve Lived
By: Raasha Ghosh
In my opinion, AOT is probably one of the greatest anime to ever exist. I’m just putting my thoughts out there. However, there are some things about AOT that I think should be recognized for example; the number of awesome characters that died in the show. So sad. . .
Now the fall of the Levi Squad was probably one of the first times fans had realized how epic but savage Attack on Titan is. Now along with all the titans and fighting, fans also started to have interest in some characters. One character in particular, Petra, was one of the characters that many fans were attached to, and honestly, I was too.
To start off, she had a kind and friendly nature and was also a good soldier. Even in Hiroshi Kamiya, Levi Ackerman’s voice actor had said that he liked Petra. Even in the scene where Levi had found Petra dead, it was obvious that Levi had cared for Petra more than other members of his squad. Even though it was a start for what was going to come, fans still wished that Isayama would let Petra live longer.
It’s no secret that Ymir had a sad and rough childhood, but it is her character growth that caught everyone’s attention, making her a character loved by fans. I mean, she didn’t even want her Titan power! All she wanted was to feel needed. Not to mention she used her Jaw Titan power to protect everyone, especially Historia. Her amount of selflessness and kindness made her a fan-loving character, so losing her was quite difficult.
Let’s be real here. No one wanted her to die. In my opinion she was probably the most relatable character. I mean she loves food and gets tired easily. That’s pretty much me in real life. I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t love food. But because of that, everyone loved her.
She is probably not my favorite Attack on Titan character but she’s in my top favorites. However her death was one of the most heartbreaking moments to fans. Sasha died due to the fact that Gabi (and Falco) followed the Scouts and shot her. As a result this made many fans and viewers dislike Gabi. Honestly if I had to ask Isayama to change something in Attack on Titan I would beg him to bring back the precious Potato Girl! Connie is crying right now.
Anyway, along with this, many tragic things happen in the show however, it is still a very eye-catching anime and is definitely one of my favorite or, is my favorite anime. I can’t wait for the future episodes to come!
