How Old Was Levi When He Joined The Scouts
Alright, folks, gather 'round the campfire! Let's tackle a question that's probably kept you up at night (or maybe just for a solid five seconds during your lunch break): how old was Levi when he joined the Scouts?
The Mystery of Young Levi
Now, pinning down Levi's exact age when he became a Scout can be trickier than catching a greased pig at a county fair! There isn't a neon sign flashing the answer in the series. We have to do some detective work!
Think about it: you don't get handed a birth certificate on day one of scout training, right? Okay, maybe some scout troops are that organized, but I doubt it. It's not explicitly stated, so let's dive in!

Clues in the Story
Okay, we need to be like Sherlock Holmes but with fewer deerstalker hats and more scouting badges. Let's examine what we know about Levi and his early life!
We know that he was a notorious thug in the Underground before Erwin found him. He wasn't exactly selling lemonade and cookies down there, was he? That suggests a certain amount of street smarts and survival skills, things you usually don't pick up before, say, hitting double digits.
He was certainly capable of using the ODM gear, which requires a level of coordination and strength that you wouldn't expect from someone super young. Imagine a toddler trying to swing from buildings! It would be… chaotic.
He already has an established fighting style, indicating a decent amount of training or at least experience surviving. So, how old was he? Let's weigh the evidence.
Making an Educated Guess (and a Few Jokes)
So, putting all this together, my totally scientific and not-at-all-pulled-from-thin-air conclusion is this: Levi was likely in his late teens, maybe around 17 or 18, when he first joined the Scouts.
Why? Well, he was old enough to be a hardened survivor, yet still young enough to be molded by Erwin and the Scout Regiment. That's my reasoning!
Of course, he could have been a remarkably agile and terrifyingly efficient 12-year-old, but that feels a little less plausible, doesn't it? Though, honestly, with Levi, anything is possible!
Let's be real: it's all speculation. But it's fun speculation! We're talking about Levi here, a character who makes the impossible look like a Tuesday afternoon.
But what do you think? Did Levi join the scouts with a baby face and a rebellious heart? Or did he come with more battle scars than baby fat? The mystery continues!
"The only thing we're allowed to do... is to believe that we won't regret the choice we made." - Levi
No matter how old Levi was when he joined, one thing is certain: he made the Scouts a whole lot more interesting! And that's a good enough answer for me.
Now, who's up for roasting marshmallows?
