Do you think there’s any chance this character could be a descendant of Mikasa?

Armin ist useful/smart and I am tired of people trying to downplay it.

I’ve seen so many people say Armin isn’t smart or useful and that he made no major contributions to the story and honestly, it baffles me. Like… did we even watch the same show?

You can dislike Armin if you want, that’s always going to come down to personal preference and emotional bias. But what I won’t tolerate is people calling him stupid or useless. That’s just rage bait at this point. ( There’s no valid reason to hate him tho)

 

Anyway, let’s get into it…

 

 

 Season 1:

 

Armin, along with Mikasa, always dealt with Eren’s reckless behavior to keep him out of trouble, even as kids. (As Hannes pointed out.)

 

He was the one who stayed calm and called Hannes during the fall of Shiganshina, which literally saved both Eren and Mikasa's lives.

 

Came up with the idea to lure Eren’s Titan to HQ, saving many lives, including Jean’s, right after nearly giving in to suicidal thoughts.

 

Came up with the plan to defeat the 3-4 meter class Titans inside HQ using the guns, when they had no ODM gear.

 

Delivered a persuasive speech that convinced Pixis, saving them.

 

Proposed the idea of using Eren’s Titan form to move the boulder and plug the breach in the wall.

 

While Pixis was giving his speech, Armin was already working on cannon placements, distractions, and elite squad positioning with pixis strategist. (He was 14 and already thinking more tactically than most adults.)

 

Left his post to wake Eren up when he lost control during the boulder mission.

 

Also, small moment, but holding Mikasa back in the courtroom when she was about to attack Levi? That probably saved all of them from major consequences.

 

 

**Still Season 1:**

 

Immediately understood the Female Titan was intelligent and had a human inside.

 

Instantly figured out what armored titan, colossal titan and female titans plan was in overall. (Reiner was sweating, rewatch it, it’s hilarious in hindsight.)

 

Saved Jean’s life again by tricking Annie into thinking she had already killed Eren, which also helped confirm his suspicions about her.

 

Was the one of the few who fully grasped Erwin’s thinking and saw through his strategic leadership.



Made a deduction on why the female titan is one of them ( someone who saw eren transform ) and why they didn
t stop eren from closing the hole back in trost.



Pieced together the Female Titan’s identity and linked her to Marco’s gear (and possibly his death) and the deaths of Sawney and Bean.

 

Came up with the plan by using himself and Mikasa as bait to push Eren into fighting.

 

Told Eren to launch Mikasa up the wall to stop Annie’s escape.

 

Observed that the walls were made of hardened Titan skin without any physical evidence, just pure deduction and observation. (He basically predicted the Rumbling years ahead.)

 

 

 Season 2

 

Worked closely with Hange to strategize and find Titan-related solutions.

 

Called out Reiner’s sus actions and questioned his loyalty based on memory discrepancies.

 

Psychologically manipulated Bertholdt with the “Annie’s being tortured” line, helping buy time and save Eren.

 

Saved Jean’s life. Again.

 

Realized it was Eren who had subconsciously commanded the Titans to attack Reiner and Bertholdt.

 

Season 3:

 

Came up with the entire nighttime Shiganshina operation: why, when, and how. (Detailed in manga chapters 51–52.)

 

Disguised himself as Historia which let to let a creep touching him (Poor armin T-T ), under Levi’s orders, to help Eren. (Let’s not downplay how wild that was.)

 

Suggested a morally grey plan to manipulate the public by causing chaos, then solving it themselves to earn trust. (“They’d be easy to fool.” Creepy? Yes. But effective.)

 

Saved Jean’s life yet again by shooting a woman in the head without hesitation, knowing the situation called for it.

 

Helped analyze Kenny’s squad, figured out their gear and tactics, and laid the groundwork for the counter-strategy.

 

Along with Sasha, covered the team
during combat, likely saving some of their lives.

 

Noticed evidence of Reiner and Bertholdt’s presence in Shiganshina (a fire on top of the wall) and reported it to Erwin.

 

Identified that there were more hidden enemies, estimating at least four.

 

Found Reiner hiding in the walls after being given command by Erwin.

 

Advised that the scouts (eren) to fight away from the walls helping protect the objective.

 

Understood Bertholdt’s arival with the barrel and told everyone to get away from berthold. (He understood that the scream was meant to be a signal)

 

Formulated the final plan to defeat the Colossal Titan and seal the breach, at the cost of his own life. Everyone knew only Armin could come up with that plan.

 

 

Post-Time Skip:

 

As a 15–16 year-old, transformed into the Colossal Titan and wiped out Marleyan ships that came to paradis. (Seen in a flashback in Episode 9.)

 

Designed the plan to rescue Eren from Marley: who would do what, when, and how.

 

Destroyed the Marleyan port on his own to prevent retaliation during their escape.

 

Came up with the retreat strategy using improvised guiding lights so the airship could locate them, despite never having seen one before.

 

Continuously tried reasoning with Eren to understand his true intentions, even when Eren refused to listen.

 

Tricked Yelena to get out of jail (and helped prevent them from being locked up again later).

 

Was the first to say what Eren said during the table scene was total BS. (Mikasa was emotionally compromised, but Armin saw through him.)

 

Advocated for Eren against his friends, trying to rationalize that Eren wasn’t going along with Zeke’s plan.

 

Thought critically about the possibility of a full-scale Rumbling and questioned whether that was truly Eren’s goal.

 

Threw a thunderspear at the Cart Titan, preventing them from attacking Eren.

 

Gave compelling reasons for why sacrificing Falco was a bad idea more on that in a bit.

 

Helped fight off the remaining Pure Titans with the other scouts.

 

Acknowledged his own limitations: he couldn’t solve every problem but he could solve the ones within his reach. Saving Falco was one of those.

 

Put himself in danger to make Connie snap out of it and stop feeding Falco to his mother.

 

That self-sacrifice helped gain the trust of the Cart and Armored Titans, who eventually joined their side.

 

Helped with the plan to secure the airship.

 

Participated in the ongoing planning (on and off screen) on their journey to stop the Rumbling.

 

Convinced Zeke to come out and accept death, allowing Levi to kill him, which ended the Rumbling.

 

Blew up Eren, then stood his ground so Mikasa and Levi could finish the job.

 

Convinced Müller and the others not to shoot, saying they were humans,no Titans.

 

Oh and after all that, Armin and the surviving ambassadors maintained peace for the rest of their lives. The next war didn’t happen until centuries later (as shown in the extra manga panels).

 

 

My fingers might actually be broken from writing all this and I probably didn’t even cover everything. Anyway… I will not tolerate Armin slander. I really hope this is enough proof that Armin is neither stupid nor useless. Far from it.

Dub hate is so fucking pretentious

Even though I’ve watched most anime in sub, I still enjoy a good dub when it’s done right. And let’s be real, there are some dubs that absolutely slap. Monster, Death Note, FMAB, and especially Attack on Titan.

I’ve seen AOT in both sub and dub, and honestly, I liked both equally. In some moments, the dub even hits harder. Erwin’s “Because my soldiers do not buckle or yield when faced with cruelty of this world” speech in the dub gave me legit chills. That delivery was raw, commanding, and full of emotion. It felt like the voice actor went to war and came back just to scream that line.

Another scene that completely blew me away was Armin talking to his unconscious body in the finale. The pain, guilt, and desperation in that performance hit hard. It felt human, broken, and real. The English VA, Josh Grelle, deserves way more credit for that emotional delivery.

And let’s not forget Levi. His voice in the dub has that perfect balance of quiet menace and tired authority. Every word sounds like it’s coming from someone who’s seen too much but still gets the job done. Matthew Mercer didn’t just voice Levi, he was Levi.

I get why people prefer subs for authenticity or staying true to the original, but AOT’s dub isn’t some afterthought. It’s cinematic, powerful, and in some scenes, emotionally stronger than the sub.

Dub fans aren’t crazy. Sometimes the English voices just hit different. And that’s more than okay.
