Seeing Roy be that ruthless is disturbing. But if the situation calls for such an intense firestorm, this works.

Attack on Titan.Levi has little patience for opponents, especially those who hurt his comrades. The Beast Titan wiped out nearly a whole squadron and their captain, Erwin Smith, throwing boulders at them. This made Levi furious; it gave him the power to execute amazing blade work on the Beast Titan's neck.

Learning about the Beast Titan's past changes the feeling, but the moment itself feels great.
