According to Armin, Eren's nickname amongst the 104th trainee team ended up being “the suicidal blockhead.” This was due to his extreme hatred for the Titans, who are much more powerful than humans. Eren’s mission to wipe out all Titans garnered him this nickname when his titan powers hadn’t formed.

 


7. Eren’s Popularity!


Despite being beloved by masses, Eren did not manage to reach the number one spot on the popularity contest for attack on Titan. That spot instead was taken by Levi who managed to become the most voted in the popularity levels.
