Levi Ackerman (Attack on Titan)
Not all senpais are loving and gentle on the surface. Some are supportive in less direct ways, and practice tough love like a religion.
Levi Ackerman, the squad captain of the survey corps in Attack on Titan, most certainly falls into the latter camp. Surly, strict, and ready to knock sense into soldiers at a moment’s notice, he’s not someone people would immediately think of as a person whose attention would be desirable.
However, it’s also hard to deny that he’s exactly the kind of person someone would want looking out for them.
In both excursions into the field and maneuvers through government bureaucracy, he looks out for his subordinates without hesitation, willing to find a way to keep them out of harm’s way whenever necessary.
In fact, one of the main reasons for his prickly demeanor is his remorse at not being able to help more of his subordinates live happy, peaceful lives. Given this fact, it’s easy to see why the Scouting regiment follows and trusts him with such dedication.
