During the chase scene in the second half Levi looked like he was going to desperately attempt to kill the two Titans running after Dieter, but then stopped and remembered he had no blades. Considering that FT was the last battle he fought before regrouping with everyone even if Levi had been in a better condition, he wouldn't have been able to fight due to the lack of weapons. |

Fatigue is an issue, but how much of an issue? At this point, risking his, Mikasa's, and Eren's life on the assumption that the FT had no further trick and was too tired for her old ones would have been foolish. It's not like she's above pretending to be worse off than she is to draw them in. |

After the capture failed, Erwin asked Levi to resupply in blades and gas. That said, Levi had already used a pair of blades during the initial strike against the FT. Suffice to say, he probably would have to change his second pair considering how much he lacerated FT all around. The close up during the retreat portion with Dieter showing up with titans weren't because he was out of blade (arguably not, since you can see 3 blades in his gear), but because he broke his ankle.

I think he was just emotionally unstable but reacted more when Mikasa said it was his fault what happened. She kind of had a point though considering Levi's team seriously needed its leader in the previous episode.

Or maybe they have to have Levi look cool and limping isn't cool :P |

Is that true? That kind of ruins the appeal of the character for me. I thought he was some old guy that still acts like a hooligan/juvenile delinquent. And it would have been more interesting to learn his backstory as to why he would have joined the Recon team so late (since it is implied he joined after the jedi guy and Gunther).
**** it, he'll always be an old guy in my imagination!! EDIT: Also, did Levi give up one of his squads' badges to make that other guy feel better by making him believe it was Ivan's? It's kind of farfetched to think that Levi was walking around collecting them from the bodies ON TOP of not getting them mixed up (it wouldn't be hard to keep track of his own teams' though). They're not like military dog tags. If Levi did give up one of his teams badges to mjake a grunt feel better, he is a true gentleman!

No matter how right someone is, how much of a point they may make...they lose credibility and respect once they resort to petty things like insults. There's also the fact that you're having this kind of discussion in a place where you shouldn't...if you have a problem with someone else's post then either go to PMs or inform a mod.

Why did he break his ankle? That part wasn't clear to me. My own theory is because he was moving at such an insane speed which, in turn, was putting a lot of stress on his body. Another enigma would be how he is able to generate so much speed. No really, why is he so fast? He is using the same type of propellant with those gas tanks along with the standard issued 3D Gears, so what is he doing so differently to attain such velocity in his attacks?

Because he kicked the FT's punch away. And she hits hard.

FT punches are hard and he had to push it off with hiss body. Besides I think he twisted his leg a bit.
Speed wise, back during Trost arc Mikasa also was faster because she used more gas than others what could be the case here considering that Erwin told him to re-fill.

As pointed out above, Levi did kick off FT's back-hand while going at top speeds and grabbing Mikasa. There's only so much that the human body can handle before it breaks.
However, I feel that the animators could have shown him limping or trying to balance himself after landing on just one foot or something that showed how serious his injury actually was. After it broke you rarely see any evidence of how bad it is. As for how he's so much faster...I really wouldn't know. In the manga we don't get a much of a sense of speed compared to animation so I don't even know if this is something the truly canon or if the animators took some liberties with the speed. We do know that Levi is faster than even Mikasa (much faster as she pointed out) now...how he's so fast while using the same gear...I suppose you could chalk it up to experience and less wasted movements amongst other things. |

As for his speed: 1. Armin noted back in episode 7 that Mikasa was moving fast because she was using too much gas. The propellant was made with different settings in mind. As for why other soldiers don't use it, first they would have to be able to handle those speeds--and by handle, I mean coordination, not g-force--; then they would have to judge it appropriate to use the gas so fast. 2. There are other forces acting on the user, e.g. gravity, centripetal force, air resistance. Judicious use of these variables can lead to faster speed.
