Eren Yeager, the main character, is probably the angriest, most bloodthirsty protagonist to ever be given the role of a \u2018good guy.\u2019 His defining characteristic is his intense hatred of Titans, and his desire to kill them all\u2014but he\u2019s so interesting because he\u2019s so different from what people normally expect a protagonist to be. When he joins the Scouting Legion, a military branch who have been tasked to explore the world outside the walls while battling Titans, we get introduced to a huge array of interesting, believable characters\u2014and since this is a series with an enormous body count, the fans watch each episode worried that their favorite might not make it to the next. (This is a legitimate worry\u2014they really don\u2019t, sometimes!)<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The biggest fan favorite is Levi, humanity\u2019s strongest soldier and the squad leader of the Special Operations Squad. He first appears to be violent, crude, and unapproachable, but is later shown to be compassionate towards his subordinates. He\u2019s also inexplicably obsessed with cleanliness and poop jokes, and that unexpected side of him has endeared him to a lot of fans. And I do mean a lot\u2014he ranked first on a character popularity poll published in the Attack on Titan guide book INSIDE.<\/p>\n<p>One of Levi\u2019s most memorable scenes is when he wraps a towel around the lower half of his face and ties a kerchief to keep his hair back in order to tidy up an abandoned castle his squad was planning to use as a fort. The contrast between this act of domesticity and his reputation was really charming!<\/p>\n<p>Since he\u2019s such a popular character, it\u2019s unsurprising that a lot of Attack on Titan merchandise feature him prominently. Good Smile Company has already announced that they\u2019re releasing a figma of him, Sentinel has announced that they\u2019re making a scale figure, and quite a few companies are making Attack on Titan rubber keychains. One of the most coveted ones are Kotobukiya\u2019s rubber keychain set of most popular characters, including: Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Sasha, Christa, Levi, Hanji, the Colossal Titan, and younger Eren, Mikasa and Armin. If you buy the set from Kotobukiya Japan, they\u2019ll include a special exclusive keychain of Levi in his unforgettable cleaning outfit!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re worried about how you\u2019ll be able to get it, then worry no more!
