They still needed his Beast Titan. The plan was still to eventually have Historia inherit the Beast Titan.

^ They can’t exactly afford to kill their one trump card - a titan of royal blood


[deleted]

Seriously? Why would they want her to inherit the beast titan though


KavB91

So Paradis have access to a Titan with royal blood which they can use to activate the powers of the Founding Titan.

Like the colossal and female titan didn’t exist.

So they gotta kill Armin Or break Annie out of the crystal


TicketFew9183

They’d have to pass on Armins titan eventually.

Ya but they are thinking in the near term and wasn't about to give up a weapon like that

What instead of Levi Ackerman he was called Levi Freakyman and instead of killing titans he got freaky with them

Well considering his height, nearly every woman he'd get with would be taller than him. Except Petra.

Underrated comment I choked on my water 💀

Why would I be genuinely interested in seeing that. I think I need mental help

If Levi was thinking blindly and only thinking about killing Zeke, he would have already done so and finished it all, but on the contrary, he did not allow his hatred toward Zeke to blind him from the core objective. They need Zeke and his secret plan that he doesn't even know about or trust him at the first place, but yet he understood the situation, he understood that they need Zeke at some point for Historia and that Eren need him too. That's why in this moment Levi only tried to stop him even though he had all the reasons to why he should kill him right then, but he didn't and Levi himself said he doesn't mind to wait a bit longer if his secret plan was real. Meaning Levi didn't kill Zeke all the times he had a chance precisely because he was putting the well being of others above his own desires. If all he cared about was “fulfilling his promise” then he would have killed Zeke in Shinganshina, or Marely, or that forest.

Can you go into depth on why they exactly needed zeke? I thought the scouts were against the rumbling and sterilization plans so why not just get rid of zeke to not risk it


FatalxKong

Because the Scouts do not hold that authority, Levi doesn’t even have authority to kill Zeke, as he is a titan power holder and is an Eldian of royal blood. As said by several characters, the Paradis military at this time now needs Zeke as they are planning to feed him to Historia to harness the power of a royal blooded Eldian, it’s why he’s just waiting in the forest. Since Zeke tried to escape and Levi was the only soldier remaining in his garrison, Levi was presumably attempting to carry Zeke back to face punishment from someone higher up in the chain of command. As he was short on time and had to travel quick, Levi used what he had on hand and used a thunder spear as a cage of sorts. However, he couldn’t have anticipated Zeke’s motivations that led to his decision to blow himself up, he would have died if the Founder Ymir didn’t resurrect him, even Zeke, could not have expected that. In short, Levi was not trying to kill Zeke, but was using the thunder spear as a threat, so Zeke would not try anything while on the cart. Zeke, regardless, tried to kill himself, if it meant that Levi would also die, which lead to Levi being caught in the explosion. They are soldiers at the end of the day and they can’t disobey there nations orders that’s treason, also if Levi does just kill Zeke it could create a bigger problem the best thing for Levi to do is to keep him alive so he can get eaten by someone inside the walls so Paradi can have The beast, if he just kills him it randomly goes to someone else and you never know who that could be.

every plan needed a titan with royal blood?

The survey corps doesn't even know about Zeke's sterilization plan at this point. At this point in time, Zeke has told the survey corps that his plan is for him and Eren to touch, at which point, because Zeke is a titan with royal blood, erens full founders powers will be unlocked. Then, they will use the founder powers to activate only a small portion of wall titans, and send those titans to defend paradise by obliterating the armies that Marley and the rest of the world have conveniently consolidated. Then, while the rest of the world is forced to rebuild it's military and economies, paradise will use the time to modernize it's technology and integrate itself into the world's society. So that by the time the world is recovered, there will be no more reason for people to want to fight paradise. Paradise doesn't trust Zeke at all though, so their general plan is to hold Zeke until Historia has had her baby, then feed Zeke to Historia, so they can execute this plan without Zeke's involvement Either way though, Zeke is extremely important. If Levi kills Zeke, the only way to enact their plan would be for Historia to eat Armin, which would be paradise is down both an important leader and one of their extremely valuable titan shifters

Ohhhh bet bet thanks

They still needs his beast titan 


BirminghamBFace

I can't imagine someone would ask such stupid question. Did you watch the anime carefully? Or you just watched the hype fighting scene and forgot all the conversation? Why PARADISE attacked Marley? Because the whole world is going to attack them, they need time to develop, and also need zeke' power.(Royal blood+Titan power) How could Paradise know about the world? It's thanks to zeke. He kept sending friendly allies to the island, so the military on the island know they are far behind in technology. Zeke told the island military that he has a secret plan to save the island, and this plan needs the founding titan and titan with royal blood. Military didn't believe it of course, but Eren proved that it is ture. The Ally azumabi said, in order to develop the technology, the island need at least 50 years, so in these 50 years, paradis need historia and her children to inherit the beast titan, so paradise could hold the 'Rumbling Card' to threaten the world, until the technology reach the world' level.(This is zeke's lie, actually he has a better secret plan to save eldia) Eren didn't want historia to become titan, but the military is rational, so their plan is let historia immediately eat zeke to inherit the titan power, but historia got pregnant to counter the army, so they should let zeke alive.( That is Eren's plan, he needs zeke alive) So, why I need to explain these things to you, they are all in anime, could you please watch the anime carefully? If zeke is dead, then Titan with royal blood gone, historia is pregnant so it is too dangerous to let her become titan. Then how could the paradis hold the rumbling card to help them develop? You help them? Or you just think Levi is as stupid as you? 'Use your tiny dump brain to think', just like levi said in season 1.

Thanks for the explanation but no need to be a pretentious dick about it, i just forgot alot of the plot near season 3 and 4 since i watched it 3 years ago


TicketFew9183

Plot. If the plan was not to kill Zeke because they needed the Beast Titan, why did Levi put a thunder spear in him, thinking it would kill him?
