Levi's brief backstory is finally here.
Summary:
- Bad Boy pages are out in Japan.
- An unofficial translation has been shared online.
- Bad Boy shows Levi's awakening and explains why he holds a cup weirdly.
Bad Boy is an extra Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) chapter written and illustrated by the author of the original series, Hajime Isayama. It was released on May 1, 2024, one day later than expected, and gives readers a glimpse into the backstory of the most beloved AoT character, Captain Levi.
There's no official English translation of the chapter as of now, but kind Japanese readers shared the pages with the rest of the fans, and you can already find all the panels online.
Leaks Were fake
Turns out, the disturbing leaks that appeared online back in November 2023 were fake. Bad Boy doesn't prove the identity of Levi's father. However, one of the men Levi was beating up asked the boy if he was Kenny's illegitimate child.
This could be a hint that the leaks were supposed to be true, and Kenny wasn't just Levi's uncle, but also his father. But then again, nothing has been confirmed, so the scene might be just a way to show the readers the connection between Levi and Kenny.
Another Tragic Page in Levi's Story
As expected from anything Attack on Titan related, Bad Boy is packed with drama and violence. It's a short chapter indeed, but it's enough to surprise you with how troubled Levi really is.
After the death of his mother, Levi wanted to retrieve the woman's belongings from a merchant carriage. He got caught and was about to be sold, but managed to deal with the men in a disturbing way. The encounter triggered his awakening, so Bad Boy disproves theories about it happening somewhere during A Choice With No Regrets.
A tea set was the only thing left from Levi's mother, so the boy treated it gently. But it didn't help, and the teacup handle broke when Levi was holding it.
The chapter then goes to the present where Levi is talking to Gabi and Falco about his cup-holding method, so the entire story about his past started like a "here's why" type of discussion when the kids asked the captain about a cup.
Nice Addition to Attack on Titan
Even though the chapter is really short, fans loved reading it and learning more about Levi and his past. The question about his way of holding a cup has been around for ages, and it's nice to finally have an answer.
Fans are joking about Levi casually dropping some childhood drama on Gabi and Falco because they were making fun of him, but him hanging out with the kids warms their hearts.
Bad Boy doesn't just leave readers emotional because of Levi's tragic backstory, it's also nice to see him in a calmer setting, just sitting with Gabi and Falco and telling them some stories from his past.
No matter how traumatic Attack on Titan can be, Bad Boy ends on a peaceful and even humorous note, which fans absolutely loved.
