I learn how to not feeling regret from Levi Ackerman
*The guilt is there, but I’m ready to forgive myself.*

![IMG_20250622_135108.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/slowjournals/23xVEe617Rp4UBUGSgh4epdW7iD6z6z73N8igy6DPVSWddhR7zC1wRZVxqG2HdYQzYTzS.jpg)

**Shingeki no Kyojin** or **Attack on Titan** is the first ever anime series that I watched. I’m not sure how I first discovered it, but I vaguely remember watching the interview of Hajime Isayama, the mangaka himself for the first time which made me want to check his works. I know many people (especially on social media) adore this anime, in fact they will never stop talking about how good it is. It has been almost 2 years since the anime ended, but I know I’m not the only one who feels like I will always remember it because this anime is very impactful in its own way.

**Levi Ackerman**, as we know is the humanity’s strongest soldier who steals the show. But despite the fact that no one can beat his high power skills, I’m pretty sure many people also learn a lot from his character development. We can go on and on about him, but for me, his OVA called ***“A Choice with No Regrets”*** is gave me an important mentality that I can learn and apply in real life from this amazing character.

The OVA tells about Levi’s backstory as a criminal in the Underground City with his friends, Isabel and Furlan, and how they were recruited into the Survey Corps. Long story short, after they joined, Levi initially tried to prevent Isabel and Furlan from participating in the scouting mission to protect them, but they convinced him to let them join. Levi initiated plans for Isabel and Furlan to stay behind during the scouting mission, however, resulted in the deaths of two of them.

With that being said, he feels responsible for their deaths. Levi had to endure the feelings of guilt and regret. In moments like these, as we all probably experience, there’s the pain of what-ifs. What if we didn’t taken that risk, what if we didn’t made that decision, what if we had done something completely different. But the question remains, *would the end result have been different from what already happened?*

---
Sometimes I find myself imagine ideal scenarios as if they would have produced different outcomes, has anyone relate to that? But the fact is, we can never know how the exact outcomes are. Even if we did something different, there’s no guarantee that the “present moment” will get any better, right? Because we can also easily take different actions and spin them into worst case scenarios too. I judge my decisions based on the results I've already gotten, as if I knew it beforehand.

***Then there’s a following question of why do we feeling regret when we already know we can’t change the past?***

I read somewhere that regret, just like any other emotions, has a function for survival. Its our brain's way of telling us to take another look at our choice so we can learn to make better decisions in the future. [This article]( https://www.verywellmind.com/how-to-cope-with-regret-5218665#:~:text=The%20reason%20why%20regret%20feels%20so%20awful,something%20good%20happen%20or%20avoided%20something%20terrible.&text=It%20is%20about%20reframing%20that%20regret%20and,opportunity%20that%20helps%20build%20resilience%20and%20wisdom.) says: *regret can serve an important function and it can drive us to overcome past mistakes or take action to correct them.* Not to feeling regret is one of the hardest things to do because the guilt is there. But I think it’s always be as important to accept it, embrace it, and forgive it all.

From Levi Ackerman character development, I learn how to forgive my self and give it another try to move forward. Erwin Smith, the commander of the Survey Corps also said something like *"If you begin to regret, you'll dull your future decisions and let others make your choices for you. All that's left for you then is to die. Nobody can foretell the outcome. Each decision you make holds meaning only by affecting your next decision."* which emphasizes the importance of not dwelling on past choices but use it as an experience and even builds vigilance to not repeat the mistakes in the future.

I think this is an important mentality to have, which allows us to view regret in a more positive way rather than getting caught up in it. What do you think? Do you have other perspective about Levi Ackerman character development? Please let me know because it will be very interesting to read.

For me, this guy should be the protagonist, simply the hero that every anime needs. Fair and straightforward, with no sympathy for the enemy or anything like that. That giant monkey was sick in this guy's hand haha.

It is a shocking anime because it manages to convey many emotions and reflections, its story is full of horror monsters but in its final or at least final season explores that conflicts do not have happy endings, there are always sides that seek to break or destroy the enemy and in the middle people who suffer.

At least that's what got to me and that's why I think I understand the legacy that as a philosophy left in you, just in our real world are living various wars whose solutions are basically the extermination of the rival for reasons that they do not even know what started it all.

Powerful your opinion about regreat, in my case it is a lot of suffering when it is born from the soul, that is why Levi feels so much that feeling but at the same time he has the strength to continue because with sadness he does not fix anything, instead with actions he honors those who punish his mind forever.

Welcome to the community 🤗 and powerful reflections that you share with us about a character that gave many action scenes but also with his look a lot to think and reflect on. 

>Es un anime impactante porque logra transmitir muchas emociones y reflexiones, su historia esta llena de monstruos de terror pero en su final o al menos temporada final explora que los conflictos no tienen finales felices, hay siempre bandos que buscan doblegar o destruir al enemigo y en el medio personas que sufren

>Al menos eso fue lo que llego a mi y por eso pienso que comprendo el legado que como filosofia dejo en ti, justamente en nuestro mundo real se estan viviendo variadas guerras cuyas soluciones son basicamente el exterminio del rival por razones que ya ellos ni sabran que inicio todo

>Potente tu opinion sobre el arrepentimiento, en mi caso es mucho sufrimiento cuando nace del alma, por eso Levi siente tanto ese sentimiento pero a la vez tiene la fortaleza de seguir porque con la tristeza no arregla nada, en cambio con acciones honra a quienes castigan su mente por siempre

>Bienvenido a la comunidad 🤗 y potentes reflexiones las que nos compartes sobre un personaje que dio muchas escenas de accion pero tambien con su mirada mucho en que pensar y reflexionar

That's right! Although there are still some people who are debating about the ending, but in my opinion overall this anime is very impressive especially in terms of character development and the commentary about society as well.

"living various wars whose solutions are basically the extermination of the rival for reasons that they do not even know what started it all." as you said is real. that's also the reason I can't easily forget this anime.

Thankyou for reading and the warmest welcome :) Have a great day!
