RivaKopon is the slash ship between Levi Ackerman and Onyankopon from the Attack on Titan fandom.
Canon[]
The two first meet when Levi and the rest of the Survey Corps defend Paradis Island from the incoming fleet of Marleyan boats. In one of those Marleyan fleets, Onyankopon, alongside Yelena, arrive to Paradis Island. Their ship is captured and breached by Eren, and he and his fellow soldiers are confronted by Hange Zoë, 14th Commander of the Survey Corp, who offers to negotiate with them. Later on, at a tent near by, Levi and Onyankopon can be seen drinking tea and facing each other, while Yelena and Hange discuss about weapons and Marley. Then, Yelena confesses that her and Onyankopon are anti-marleyan volunteers. During the timeskip, Levi and Onyankonpon work together as allies for the next three years. Onyankopon even shows Levi some of the Marleyan technology, such as port schematics.
When a group of the Survey Corps travel to Marley's mainland to meet with Kiyomi Azumabito, Onyankopon is tasked with meeting them and bringing them to her estate, and that's when he and Levi meet again. They're seen together all the time while visiting the place. As Sasha, Connie and Hange greet a car as if it was an animal, Levi says annoyed that if they don't stop them they'll end up feeding carrots to it. Onyankopon softly laughs and answers in disbelief, only to get shocked when he sees them buying carrots just like Levi sarcastically predicted it. Later in the night, him and Onyankopon are seen concernedly looking at the young members of the Survey Corps lying, sleeping and wasted, in the tent where a few moments ago they were celebrating and drinking.
During the War for Paradis arc, the Yeagerists kidnap Onyankopon and the other Marleyan volunteers, but he gets rescued by the Cart Titan, who brings him, a well as Yelena and Jean, to Hange, and Theo Magath. There, he meets with Levi again and decides to join forces to stop Eren. The next day, the formed Alliance travels to Paradis' harbor to take the Azumabito clan's airship and pursue Eren with it, but find that Yeagerists are already occupying the harbor. While the rest of the Survey Corps engage the Yeagerists, Onyankopon stays with Levi and the kids, Falco and Gabi, as well as Yelena who has an injured arm. The Cart Titan carries them to the boat, and stays behind to fight. Falco transforms into his Titan form, and Gabi and Yelena get to the boat. Considering Levi's condition and the fact that Onyankopon is a very strong man (as seen when he helps the Azumabito getting the flying boat to sail and when he helps move the flying boat into a hangar to be worked on), he most likely carried Levi to the boat, as he was the only one left.
In the three years after the battle at Salta, Levi takes up residence in Onyankopon's hometown. His injuries leave him permanently wheelchair-bound and he is attended to by Onyankopon, Gabi and Falco, who he now seems to be living with. As they walk around, visiting new places, and discovering new stuff in awe, the two of them share a lingering look and Onyankopon softly smiles at Levi.
Fanon[]
RivaKopon is not such a popular ship for Levi and Onyankopon, being overshadowed by one of Levi's most popular ships, EruRi. In fact, most fans of RivaKopon are EruRi shippers first of all, and consider that Onyankopon and Levi living together now is a sweet ending for him. For example, some even joke that Erwin and Onyankopon might fight for Levi's love if he resurrects. Since none of their interactions have been animated as of yet, there are currently over ten stories on AO3 where they are both the main pair.
Fans of this ship make artworks or written works of the two men living together in Onyankopon's hometown, travelling around the world and spending the rest of their lives together, just like in the manga's ending. Or fanarts and written works of Levi and Onyankopon in a modern setting, being together as a couple as well. Since most fans of this ship are EruRi shippers, the stories usually are about Levi moving on and being happy with Onyankopon, while also remembering the incredible impact Erwin had in his life and character development.
The kids (who, in the timeskip, are now teenagers), Gabi and Falco, are also seen around Onyankopon and Levi in the ending of Shingeki no Kyojin's manga, so most artworks including the two of them show Levi and Onyankopon have great times with both of them. For example, teaching them how to play cards. Also, most fans portray Levi and Onyankopon as parental figures to the young teens.
