Isayama commented on the unveiling, "He is the most popular character that has supported Attack on Titan all the way, and I'm indebted to him. I hope he is pleased."
Levi is the fourth Attack on Titan character to receive a bronze statue in Hita City. Previously, statues of Eren, Armin, and Mikasa as children have been erected at Ōyama DAM. The statues were funded by a crowdfunding campaign between August and October 2019 that raised over 29 million yen (approximately US$267,000).
