VerifiedAn episode where it clarifies the connection of Levi and Kenny and how Kenny becomes loyal to royal family.

VerifiedEpisode 10 was about Kenny Ackerman's devastating backstory and his life moments with Levi. Emotionally executed episode with well-directed cinematography.

Verifiedkenny and levi's backstory is so raw, finding out kenny raised him in the underground adds so much depth to both characters. the action sequences with the anti-personnel ODM gear are insane, WIT studio went all out on the animation here

VerifiedThis episode is a masterclass in making you care about someone you thought was pure evil. Kenny's backstory reframes everything—his obsession with power, his relationship with Levi, his final choice to just.. let go. The coronation gives us a moment of pure joy in the episode

VerifiedThis episode makes you realize that everyone has a goal and a reason behind what they do. Understanding Kenny’s perspective added so much depth to the story. It was unexpectedly emotional for me. And Historia being a queen is absolutely stunning!!

VerifiedLevi really did have a tough life, i always wondered how he became so cold. And this is just another damn reminder that the world of attack on titans is nothing to joke about. it rivals in realism the real world in my own opinion.

VerifiedEpisode 10 brings reflection and tough choices as characters examine life, loyalty, and what they’re fighting for. It’s emotional and grounded between battles.

VerifiedA somber look at the history of a legend. The backstory of Kenny and his relationship with the royal family adds so much depth to the world and its gray morality.

VerifiedEpisode 10 centers on Kenny and his inner turmoil. We finally understand his motives and what drives him. Beneath his ruthless exterior is a man searching for meaning, someone who simply wants to feel fulfilled instead of remaining the empty person he believes he is.

VerifiedLearning about Kenny and Levi’s past was a shocker. I’m also a sucker for a little goofiness from Levi’s Elite Squad. 😭✨ That laugh and smile from Captain Levi? 🥹 But the story is starting to shift again, and I’m looking forward to the next episode!

Kenny's backstory is really deep, it explains a lot about his character. Levi's past is also pretty rough, it shows why he's so cold. Definitely watch this episode to see their stories

the way this show handles backstory is so clean, nothing feels forced or like filler. kenny went from a cool villain to a genuinely tragic character in one episode. also the ODM gear fights in tight corridors are peak animation, absolutely insane sequences

learning about kenny's past and how he raised levi in the underground adds so much context to their dynamic. the action choreography with the anti-personnel gear is some of the best in the series, WIT really understood the assignment with these sequences
animeroshi
Kenny’s curtain call steals the arc. A killer who chased godhood dies human, admitting everyone is a slave to something. Levi gains the syringe, loses his last link to blood. Historia rises as Queen. And far away, the Beast moves for the Coordinate.

EPISODE CONTEXT
Arriving as the tenth of twelve episodes, 'Friends' follows the Survey Corps' desperate battle against Rod Reiss's Titan form and the resolution of the royal succession crisis, serving as a reflective cooldown before the season's final stretch. It deepens the thematic groundwork of Season 3's political and personal power struggles by reframing Kenny Ackerman's motivations through his backstory. This character-driven interlude directly sets the stage for 'Bystander,' which continues unraveling the histories and relationships that will carry into the season's conclusion.
