Summary[]
Armin Arlert (アルミン・アルレルト Arumin Arureruto) is the 15th and current commander (団長 Danchō) of the Survey Corps, named so by Hange Zoë before their death. He is also a childhood friend of Eren Yeager and Mikasa Ackerman, and one of the two deuteragonists of the series. Although he appears to be among the physically weakest of the 104th Training Corps, his intelligence and strategic genius makes him an invaluable asset, especially when paired with Hange. After the battle of Shiganshina District, he took the power of the Titans from Bertolt Hoover and became the current holder of the Colossus Titan.

Colossal Titan can also create a Large Heat Blast which is hot enough to vaporize naval ships and human bodies completely), Self-Destruction, Resistance to Heat Manipulation (Colossal Titan is unaffected by his own steam)
Attack Potency: Wall level (Briefly fought against Eren) | City Block level (Comparable to Bertolt who destroyed part of Wall Maria with a single kick), Large Town level with Heat Blast (Armin can release a heat blast of this magnitude, destroying the entire Marleyan naval fleet present in the Raid of Libero, along with parts of the internment zone.)

Subsonic Travel speed with ODM Gear (Can keep up and out-speed pure titans which are calculated to reach speeds of at least 100.39 ms-1) | Superhuman (Slower than other Titans but should be at least this fast when walking as Colossal can't run) with Supersonic Reactions and Combat Speed

This, in conjunction with his intelligence, good judgment, level headedness, ability to plan ahead, and the ability to come up with creative ideas and think outside the box are what make him a great tactician, be it in a war room or on the fly, with his tactical prowess being so great that even high-ranking officers take his strategic opinions seriously)
Weaknesses: Physically not much of a fighter. Formerly lacked confidence in himself. Regeneration takes longer and is less efficient in human form | Titans have a natural weakness against piercing attacks. Can be killed if the one meter long and 10 centimeters wide area of his nape where his body is is cut. Transformation can only be maintained for a limited time. While he's emitting steam, he isn't able to move
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Colossal Titan
- Memory Inheritance: Like all of the Nine Titans, Armin can inherit the memories of the Attack Titan's previous users.
- Regeneration: Like all Titan Shifters, Armin can regenerate his injuries at an exceedingly fast rate, in both his human and Titan forms.
- Explosive Transformation: Although all Titans generate enormous amounts of heat and energy when transforming, the Colossal Titan takes this to the next level. Its users can control the energy produced during their transformation to create various effects. For instance, when Bertolt attacks Trost District his transformation only causes a wind blast that knocks some trainees over the Wall. However, during the Battle of Shiganshina District, Bertolt releases a much larger explosion, creating a mushroom cloud of dust and rubble, ravaging part of the city, and killing a great number of Survey Corps soldiers. Armin also uses this ability to wipe out most of, if not all of the Marleyan naval fleet present at the Raid on Liberio in a tremendous explosion.
- Steam Emission: This unique ability possessed by the Colossal Titan appears to be significant control over the amounts of steam emitted by its Titan body. In normal circumstances, Titans emit steam from wounds while regenerating, and their bodies would evaporate completely into steam after receiving a killing blow. The Colossal Titan is capable of emitting great amounts of steam at will. This power can be used for a variety of purposes. By emitting great amounts of steam at once, the pressure and force of the steam will burn and repel any individuals in close proximity to the Colossal Titan that are not fixed in place. And if they are fixed to it, they will be constantly roasted by the heat, at the Titan's mercy. However, prolonged use of this ability takes a toll on the Titan, decreasing its muscle mass gradually until only the skeletal structure remains. In some cases when it is necessary, the Colossal Titan is capable of evaporating its entire body at once, disappearing instantly. This does put the user in a position of great vulnerability, with no way of preventing a fall from a great height where the Titan form once was. However, this disadvantage can be alleviated if the user is wearing vertical maneuvering equipment.
