Bad Boy is an extra Attack on Titan chapter that focuses on Levi's backstory.
In this chapter, Levi explains why he holds cups in a weird way.
He broke his dead mother's cup and it traumatized him.
An extra Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) chapter titled Bad Boy was released on May 1, 2024, and it gives readers a bit more perspective on Levi and his past.
What Is Bad Boy About?
Bad Boy starts with Levi trying to sneak into a merchant carriage to retrieve his dead mother's tea set. He fails to do it silently and is caught by the merchants. They want to sell the thief, but Levi has another idea.
The encounter triggers Levi's awakening, he attacks the men and kills them in a gruesome way, literally tearing the face off one of the men.
To cut it short: he does succeed at retrieving the tea set.
Chapter Explains Why Levi Holds the Cup Like That
Fans noticed the way Levi holds his teacup pretty early in the series. Instead of grabbing it by the handle, he puts his hand on top of it, and picks it up by touching its sides. It feels like a very uncomfortable way to drink tea, so there has to be an explanation for this habit. And as it turns out, there is.
Since the tea set is the only thing left of Levi's mother, the boy is trying to be gentle with it. However, the handle breaks off the cup during one of his tea sessions, which leads to the cup falling down and crashing, and scars Levi even more. It was the thing that reminded him of his mother, and now it's gone just like that.
That's why Levi vowed never to use a teacup handle anymore. He lost something very dear to him because of a simple mistake, and he doesn't intend to do it again.
Have you tried holding a cup or a mug the way Levi does?
Levi Tells Gabi and Falco About It
Bad Boy features a couple more familiar faces. Levi wasn't just dropping his childhood trauma on the readers, it was the answer to Gabi and Falco's question about the way he holds a cup.
The kids probably thought Levi was just being weird and tried to make fun of him for his habit. But his backstory touched them as much as it did the readers.
Gabi apologizes to the captain and promises to never hold a cup by the handle, too. Let's just hope that Levi won't be sharing this story with more people, or the entire cast of Attack on Titan will be forced to drink their tea in the most uncomfortable way for the rest of their lives.
New chapter explains Levi's most curious habit.
