Movie
Description
Gunther Schultz served as a disciplined soldier in the Scout Regiment's Special Operations Squad, personally selected by Captain Levi. Levi valued him for both his combat abilities and his wariness of Eren Yeager's Titan powers, which prevented blind trust. Gunther frequently acted as the squad's voice of reason; after Eren unintentionally transformed, he demanded proof of Eren's non-hostility while others threatened violence. He maintained a stern demeanor during missions, reprimanding squad members for casual chatter outside the walls and reminding them of constant dangers.
Standing 183 cm tall and weighing 82 kg, Gunther was the tallest member of Levi's squad. He had a slightly darker skin tone and short brown hair styled into a pointed crop at the back, wearing the standard Scout Regiment uniform: a light brown leather jacket with the regiment's insignia, a dark waist sash, white pants, knee-high boots, and often a green cape.
His background included participation in the 49th expedition beyond the walls, protecting Hange Zoë during the discovery of Ilse Langnar's corpse. Later, during the Trost District aftermath, he assisted in guarding Eren at the Survey Corps' former headquarters, expressing skepticism about the abrupt expedition plans. He and Eld Jinn noted the building's disrepair before Levi ordered cleaning. Gunther avoided Hange's detailed Titan experiment explanations, indicating prior experience. After the killings of Titans Sawney and Beane, he speculated the culprit had accomplices due to the use of omni-directional mobility gear.
During the 57th Exterior Scouting Mission, Gunther explained the expedition's formation to Eren, deducing Commander Erwin Smith had undisclosed objectives based on a question posed after Sawney and Beane's deaths. Pursuing the Female Titan in the Titan Forest, he panicked as reinforcements were killed, urging Levi for orders to engage. After Erwin trapped the Titan, the squad celebrated. Retreating later, Gunther admonished Eld, Petra Ral, and Oluo Bozado for distracting banter. Mistaking an enemy signal flare for Levi's, he fired a response flare that revealed their position. Annie Leonhart, disguised as a Scout, ambushed and fatally sliced his neck before he could react.
Gunther's legacy persisted. Eren acknowledged responsibility for his death while speaking to Historia Reiss, linking it to the theft of Titan powers. During the Battle of Shiganshina, Erwin envisioned Gunther among fallen comrades questioning their sacrifices' meaning. Levi recalled him while reflecting on losses incurred protecting Eren. Hange invoked his memory opposing global destruction, emphasizing fallen Scouts would reject such actions. Upon Hange's sacrificial death, Gunther appeared among spirits welcoming them. After Eren's defeat, he saluted Levi alongside other deceased Scouts.
As an elite soldier, Gunther held a Titan kill record of 47 (7 solo, 40 team-based). His combat proficiency included skilled use of omni-directional mobility gear, with Levi's selection underscoring his tactical reliability and strength.
Trivia notes his birthday as July 30, revealed by the series creator. The anime adaptation uniquely depicted him with a mother and grandfather.
