Spoiler alert! Do no proceed unless you are up to date with the manga or you
don't mind being spoiled.

In **Chapter 112** of Shingeki no Kyojin, according to Eren, the Ackerman are
able to unleash their power when their host are in danger and they will often
have headaches as their inner self fights against the instinct of the Ackerman
blood.

He then told Mikasa that her tagging along wherever Eren goes is just from her
Ackerman blood as Eren is her host.

Levi is also an Ackerman and as seen multiple times, he is capable of nearly
inhumane feats such as slaughtering a horde of Titans all by himself. My
questions is, who was Levi's host? Was it Erwin? If so, do we have proofs that
it was him?

Who was Levi's host?


I think the answer is pretty obviously Erwin Smith. Erwin was one of the only
people Levi respected unconditionally, and from whom obeyed every command
showing Levi's immense trust in Erwin. Additionally, right before the Return
to Shiganshina Levi threatened to break Erwin's legs to make sure he couldn't
go into battle to make sure Erwin wouldn't die. So yeah, it seems that Erwin
was Levi's "host."

That being said, Levi's connection to Erwin disproves Eren's belief that the
Ackerman's (Mikasa) are slaves/cattle with no free will. Because despite the
fact that Erwin was seemingly "Levi's" host, when having to choose between
Armin and Erwin to save Levi still chose Armin meaning that Ackerman's despite
imprinting onto someone like Uri for Kenny, Erwin for Levi, and Eren for
Mikasa are still able to make choices of their own free-will that could
endanger or even kill their "host" like Levi did of Erwin

There is no proof that this connection Ackerman-host does actually exist.
Furthermore in the latest (118) chapter:

> Armin speculates that Eren made that entire thing up in order to convince
> everyone that he is siding with Zeke.
