Chief Warrant Officer Levi appears in the work as the leader of the Scout Regiment with overwhelming combat ability, and along with his calm and cool personality, he is an overwhelmingly popular character.

One of the charms of the statue of Captain Levi is its powerful modeling and fine details. The statue is posed in a tense pose, as if Levi were wearing a 3D activation device and about to confront the Titans at any moment. The expression on his face perfectly expresses Levi's sharp eyes and strong will, allowing visitors to sense his determination and pride as a warrior. Furthermore, the attention to detail in the mechanical parts of the three-dimensional activation device, the wrinkles in his costume, and the tension in his muscles are so elaborate that even fans of the work cannot help but admire them.
