I've always found Armin to be one of the most underrated characters, he goes through the most subtle but drastic development in the series
@vianabdullah2837
Armin's last conversation with Zeke in the final episode is one of the most moving scenes in the entire series, it just perfectly encapsulates all of the themes of the story with one simple glance at a baseball.

My headcannon is that Erwin believes and sees Armin as a better version of himself. Erwin used to be a dreamer, but became a realist as move forwards. That is why I love the Midnight Sun, both sacrificed themselves beyond the walls but Armin won. I am an Erwin fanboy btw.
@lobsterp3821
Titan Amnesia causing Armin to forget his badass sacrifice is such an overlooked tradegy. He would've told anyone at the ceremony to eat shit had he remembered how cool he was.

I LOVED Armin! Often people have quiet but astounding skills. Loud people get so much attention. I loved that Erwin Was always paying attention to Armins understated skill that was saving them all along. Finding his strength the whole time! He was making crucial decisions, considering others feeling, and willing to sacrifice the whole time! Armin is indeed exceptional!
@Oikawasglassess
That dub scene of armin talking to himself always gets me, it’s so well done
@Pabloblart
Named my son after Armin. He’s 4 now and I can’t wait to show him how important he is to the world.
@donovanmiller9380
I would argue that the "devil we need" idea is why Armin was revived in the first place. He does not represent that. Erwin keeps on sacrificing people again and again and does not try to do better, just win the next objective. Armin also commits atrocities to his fellow men, but he attempts to be better, and that's why I think he is not a "devil"
@CordobezVeridan
Fascinating. I never had given any thought to the idea of Armin screaming at himself being a representation of his physical weakness. I thought he was just ashamed of failing to live up to everyone's expectations.
@yassirwahbi1721
Crazy how eren said"the one who is going to save humanity isnt me or the commander,its armin" Cuz armin actually ends up saving the world by stopping the rumbling,😮
@maqnaify
It's interesting how 4 experienced leaders give Armin a vow of thrust: Erwin, Pyxis, Levi, and Hange. And yet he eliminates (in a symbolic manner) 3 of them. He is chosen over Erwin. Kills Pyxis titan's form. And Hange dies immediatly after designating him as the next commander. At first, when Hange chose Armin instead of Jean (who had become a smart, quick-thinking leader) I thought to myself that, even if it was a good choice, it felt a bit like fan service. But you are right: Armin holds his ground and keeps moving forward. I didn’t fully understand the meaning of Hange’s words at the moment: "The position calls for a certain quality: a mindset of continuously pursuing understanding. There's no one more suitable than you." And it's so true. Guides like Levi and Jean are good in taking decisions in the midst of the battle. But commanders want more than that: they need and live for knowledge and that's what keeps them pushing boundaries. In the end, Armin was perfect for a world without titans.

Our Boy Armin was the Narrator of the story, in the way, he was also the main protagonist alongside Eren! Every single scene with Armin pushed the story forward and in a way, he did turn out to be the rest of humanity’s saviour in a way, even though Mikasa was the one to deliver the final blow
@boss2868
Armin was also a slave to hope, he did all the brutal things he did in the hope it would lead to better things It also why it took him so long to accept Erin’s fate, he was a slave to the hope that Erin would change his mind. But great video, really insightful
@user-jchbujn4577ghjicdins
Armin is the most altruistic character, always ready to sacrifice his personal interests for the sake of achieving the common good. Many consider his desire for negotiations a weakness, but this requires much more effort than a violent response to violence (forgive the tautology). Armin's principles should be applied in real life: after all, at the personal, domestic, corporate, and state levels, there will be far fewer conflicts if people understand each other's motives, recognize their opponent as an equal, and come to an agreement among themselves. Then we will be able to build a truly civilized society, and not a pack with the principle of "revenge for revenge, blood for blood."

Finally... Someone understands.
@iliaszoumis
That scene of armin talking to himself like that gives me so many goosebumps man. I don’t know why but it hits so hard for me!!
@3llxna.00
Armin is honestly one of my fav characters in all of anime, so glad to finally see someone acknowledge the complexities of his character!!
@tjws255
His final conversation with his best friend Eren was pretty great in my opinion. Not only does he condemn Eren's actions but he also chooses to remain his best friend by understanding Eren's actions and shows empathy and sympathy. And deciding to shoulder some of Eren's guilt and wrong doing. To me that shows what a best friend truly is. ( though I do think Eren let them win because of how he views Freedom. Not that he made it easy but Eren was done by that point probably even before that.)
@Defektyd
Armin truly is my favourite character and to see him getting appreciation is so awesome.
