Are Mikasa and Levi Related? (& 10 Other Facts About Their Relationship)
Now that the mystery of what was in the basement has been solved, fans can turn their attention to other unanswered concerns, such as the relationship between two of the Sentry Corps’ most famed fighters, Mikasa and Captain Levi. Everything from how they feel about each other to what their actual connection is are all questions that are simple to overlook if you aren’t paying attention.
1. At first, Mikasa despised Levi.
Mikasa first encountered Levi at Eren Yeager’s military trial after he had turned into the Attack Titan. Before completing his task to reseal Trost’s gate, Eren went wild and attacked Mikasa, resulting in the trial. Levi began pounding Eren throughout the trial to show that he could be controlled in order to save Eren’s life and continue to use his Titan form. Mikasa, on the other hand, was unaware of this and disliked Levi for his conduct.
2. Levi was hurt because of Mikasa’s emotions.
Mikasa had a profound animosity against Levi because of her eternal attachment to Eren, and she finally let him have it in Chapter 30, when Eren was kidnapped by the Female Titan.
Levi devised a plan to rescue Eren from the Female Titan by distracting the gigantic with Mikasa while he cut her down. However, Mikasa disregarded orders, forcing Levi to defend her— which resulted in his leg being wounded, and their mission to save Eren nearly failing.
3. Mikasa was uninterested in Levi.
Mikasa was hardly on Levi’s radar due to the nature of their early interaction, as he was a commanding officer and she was a soldier. Despite this, and despite Mikasa’s claims that Levi was responsible for Eren’s capture, Levi understood Mikasa’s feelings and said nothing in response to her charges, instead focusing on the goal. In the end, Levi was able to save Eren, and as they fled, he chastised her for caring more about her need for vengeance, which Mikasa found amusing.
4. Levi was still concerned about Mikasa’s well-being.
Levi rescued Mikasa’s life twice during their mission to retrieve Eren from the Female Titan. First, when she went after the Titan and he saved her from the Titan’s clutches, allowing them to retreat and devise a strategy, and again when Mikasa went rogue and attempted to murder the Female Titan. While Levi is known for being emotionless, he is nonetheless devoted to his men and mourns the deaths of those who were slain by the Female Titan, since he does not want Mikasa to suffer the same fate.
5. Mikasa’s allegiances lie with Eren and Armin.
Mikasa realised her mistake as Levi was recovering from his injuries after the battle with the Female Titan, and she realised Levi wasn’t who she believed he was. Mikasa eventually came to the Captain’s defence, even when others questioned his trustworthiness.
Mikasa respected Captain Levi, but in Chapter 83, when Levi insisted on saving Erwin’s life rather than Armin’s, she displayed her true colours. Mikasa didn’t hesitate to use her Ultrahard steel blade to slash Levi’s throat.
6. Two of the best fighters in the world
Mikasa quickly established herself as the greatest of the 104th Training Corps when Eren, Armin, and Mikasa joined the service. She swiftly rose through the ranks and became one of the Sentry Corps’ greatest fighters, but even with her natural powers and quick-thinking techniques, she was still in awe of Captain Levi’s prowess, which was aided by his years of experience battling Titans in ODM gear. These two are the pinnacle of their profession.

8. They had a strong reaction when they learned Kenny’s surname.
Captain Levi is interrogating an Interior MP soldier in Chapter 60, and all he says is that “Kenny Ackerman is a meticulous man” who keeps his plans hidden from soldiers. Levi, like Mikasa, has never heard his uncle’s surname before, and his reaction is one of small surprise.
Mikasa is asked if she is related to Kenny because she is an Ackerman in Chapter 63, and she merely responds that Ackermans have been persecuted in the past.
9. They’re distant cousins.
In the real world, strangers with the same last name are rarely related to one another, but in the universe of Attack on Titan, two key characters with the same surname raises some eyebrows.
Mikasa and Levi both have the surname Ackerman in common. While they can’t be siblings because they had separate parents, there’s evidence that the two of them are distant cousins, especially given their shared power with Kenny.
10. The Two Have Innate Powers as Ackermans
When Mikasa explains what she knows about the Ackermans of the past in Chapter 63, Levi asks if she has ever felt a sudden surge of strength within herself.
When she answers yes, he discloses that he and his uncle Kenny had the same experience, suggesting to the three of them sharing a familial bond. The Ackerman clan, it turns out, was a bloodline of bodyguards to the Eldian queen, created to wield Titanic power while remaining human.
