The anticipation for "Attack on Titan" season 3 increases as new details are released for the popular Japanese anime. Fans waited for years before season 2 arrived, and this time, many are excited about season 3 especially that there are many unanswered questions in season 2.
According to Otaku Mode, a new key visual for season 3 was released featuring a mysterious man. The visual shows fan-favorite Captain Levi Ackerman, and new character Kenny Ackerman. The two are seen crossing their weapons, while Kenny is smiling. On the other hand, Levi has a fierce look on his face.
Readers of the manga will no doubt recognize Kenny, but for anime viewers, he is a new character. According to reports, Kenny is Levi's uncle and is a former member of the Police Brigade's Anti-Personnel Control Squad. He will play a major role in the next arc of the series. He will be featured with a different kind of gear, which is designed to take out people instead of Titans.
The teaser featuring Kenny is an indication that the next season will head into a more intense territory. Fans are up to a surprise once "Attack on Titan" season 3 airs since there will be more revelations and more Titan-fighting that will happen.
Meanwhile, a new teaser trailer was released in Japan, which is seen after the anime's recap film for season 2. Tumblr user YaBoyLevi shared that the 10-second teaser shows Kenny. Levi is seen coming from the chimney of the rooftops and throws himself on Kenny while shouting his name.
