Baggy-pants Leon
CharacterA one-scene parody soldier from the Volume 17 gag preview, Baggy-pants Leon charges into a Titan fight with his trousers sagging halfway down his hips. The joke Survey Corps veteran arrives late, apologizes, and asks his stunned comrades to leave some of the enemy for him.
Appearance
The joke lives at his waistline. Leon wears the Survey Corps uniform correctly in every respect except one: his trousers sag far below regulation height, leaving his boxers permanently visible. From the belt up he reads as a grizzled veteran, sporting cropped light hair swept straight back and thick sideburns that run the length of his jaw. His face puts him somewhere in middle age.
Personality
Leon treats soldiering as a casual affair. He shows up late to a battle where lives hang in the balance, and his uniform discipline speaks for itself. Yet the gag preview also grants him genuine swagger: he greets a monstrous enemy with the easy confidence of a man planning to meet it head-on.
History
His entire existence spans one scene, printed as a preview gag for Volume 17 inside Volume 16 of the manga. A huge Abnormal Titan closes in on Squad Levi, and Leon saunters up to reinforce the defenders, offering a breezy apology for running behind schedule and hoping some of the fight remains for him. Connie Springer can only stare in disbelief. Supplementary databook material lands the final punchline: with vertical maneuvering equipment anchored to pants that barely stay up, his odds against a Titan sit at roughly nothing.
