Hi everyone, you might remember a previous post of mine when I stated that in chapter 113, Levi’s soldiers were compared to his former squad (Oluo, Eld, Petra and Gunther)

You clearly recognize here Petra, Oluo, Eld and Gunter, in the second one there is only Gunther and Eld.

Here you have Oluo, here the actual name of that soldier is Barris. Even the ones who colored the manga panels noticed it so they colored his hair like Oluo’s.

You even have Petra climbing the tree with her head towards the sky, it’s the same as when she died, notice there is Eld behind her.

or again even more obviously Petra’s reaction with angry Levi. In first one it’s because they wanted to drink during work, and after you now the scene, it’s when Eren didn’t manage to transform into titan. You can clearly notice the analogy, Petra trying to calm down Levi as he is angry.

So, now I’ve been looking for some rivetra proofs in the panels and I must that there are many of them!!

Let’s start with the most obvious, in chapter 110 when Levi and Zeke were chatting and he said:

So this one was pretty much put to the fore by fans since it’s obvious that the only female in AOT universe that was attracted in some way to Levi, was Petra. He says ‘before’, so it was in the past and Petra dead some years ago from now.

 Don’t forget that Isayama said that Levi was noted 02/10 on beauty standards in AOT Universe, which is different from what fans think of him haha. Whatever, and so, you notice that one of the most important element here is that they are in the forest of giant trees, the place where Levi’s squad passed away. Indirectly because of Zeke. So the tension is quite high, and also because he promised Erwin to kill Zeke. 

Now let’s move on to this, in chapter 112, another obvious point about rivetra, is that she appears in the middle of his memories. But also, there’s something else.

When you read what Levi says about Eren “I did it (I saved him) because I BELIEVED he was the hope for humanity’s survival...” = in other words, we TRUSTED him. And I say ‘we’ because when he says that, he reminds his comrades who used to do the same, they put their life in the line to save Eren’s because they thought he could save Eldia. 

The other thing is, Petra appears at EVERY MENTION of TRUST. And I insist on that, because her character was developped around that notion of trust, she believed in her squad members and teamwork was important for her above all.

Now, let’s see why I insist on that point: trust

Look how she seems to be sad and upset, you wonder why? Because they didn’t manage to trust one another (Zeke and the SC). Ah, and who do we see when Zeke mentions trust? Petra’s representation of titan. She’s the one who carries Zeke, btw it’s ironic since Zeke is Levi’s greatest enemy and Petra was one he loved the most. ;)

From the beginning to the end, Petra is sad, look at her facial expression:

Even when Zeke orders them to charge on Levi, she seems so sad. And that shows that even when she’s a titan, she won’t eat the one she loves = it’s a powerful proof of love. Even Barris (Oluo), Eld or Gunther didn’t hesitate even if they wouldn’t do that normally. But not her. She was never interested in eating Levi. It’s quite obvious here.

And other thing is that Levi didn’t get rid of her, it’s Zeke that killed her... once again. Levi had no choice but to kill his friends but he doesn’t kill her! 

Here’s what happens:

 Levi hooks his ODM line to her neck but Zeke tore her head apart from her body... that’s so depressing tbh :(

Just a few pics from the episode I unlocked of the New Years edition of the Levi unit from the AoTTactics game. I kinda felt like this was a lil bit of a Levihan (and squad Levi) moment.

So the story goes like this; Erwin announces everyone gets the day off on New Years. Petruo discuss what they’re doing and they’re considering visiting family. They ask Levi what he’s doing and he says he’s going to be working, which they suggests he takes the day off too, which is where pic 1 comes in, him saying someone’s gotto hold the fort and it’d be a good opportunity to test new gear made by Hange and her squad (personally, I think he’s using “work” as an excuse to spend time with Hange, but I digress).

So Petruo spends time with their fam, but after a while decide to go help Levi anyways and when they get there, they find Levi wearing a some new flashy gear made by Hange and her squad (yep, you read that right, his cool new outfit came from Hange).

The way he says “What are you two doing here” and also the fact that in the beginning of the story he pretty much insisted that Petruo NOT help him...I can’t help but get the feeling he wanted to spend alone time with Hange.
