Did Annie really love Eren Jaeger? This could possibly be a match made in heaven!
So what's up guys Foxen here! Since today is Valentine's Day let's talk
about this very special couple. Did Annie ever have any special feelings for Mr.
Yeager? I'm actually surprised at how much I get asked about this so is there
any validity to this? Let's go ahead and delve into this. For reasons you know
about Eren and Annie do have a very special connection to each other in
attack on Titan. The two were already involved in some Titan on Titan
action that's pretty unique to them. In both of those times Annie ended up
kicking Eren's ass.Yeah both of them. Although do notice in the first time it
seemed like Annie was holding back against Eren up until the end. Could
Annie have been holding back since Eren was a special someone to her? Perhaps.
Arguably Annie did have a very special connection to Eren Jaeger. It might have
been second only to her father. So far some of the flashbacks have shown you
about Annie's relationship with Reiner and Bert, honestly the warrior trio
weren't very close at all. Annie in particular didn't seem to like Reiner so
she kept her distance from them. Without getting into spoilers Annie may have
chosen to live most of her life like this just being that lone wolf. For the
longest time Annie's only special someone in her life might have been the
connection to her father. This goes further combined with the techniques and
Annie learned and trained under him so where does Eren fit into all of this?
This actually goes back to some of the stuff that the anime cut out from the
manga. The anime shows you some early interaction between Annie and Eren. This
was when Annie handed his ass to him. The manga actually goes further to show you
Annie and Eren's bonding over this. It's actually a pretty important scene so I'm
not sure why it was cut out. It happens to be one of the few times that Annie's
seen smiling during her time inside of the walls. In fact it might have been
the only time. Is Annie competing with Levi? It is true that Eren was the one that
initiated this bonding. Eren was trying to improve himself by copying her
technique. Annie then offers to fully teach this technique to Eren, something
she holds very dear to her. Unfortunately the anime and manga don't expend on this
part. It's left just to you to wonder how much time these two actually spend
practicing this together. After all it takes a good amount of time dedicated to
training just to get close to perfecting this. Of course Mikasa didn't approve at
all. Perhaps this was even a hint at just how much time
Eren and Annie were coming in contact with each other because Mikasa straight out
tells Annie to leave Eren alone. Setting this aside for a moment what
makes this so important? It actually goes back to a character interview done with
Annie. In this she's asked about her type in guys.
Naturally Annie gives some non answer at first but then when she's asked about
whether she's never thought about finding a special someone
Annie surprisingly replies with "If I could find someone maybe this meaningless
world might become a little better." Taking this into account
perhaps Annie was unconsciously trying to find this special someone. Perhaps
this turned out to be Eren. Annie unexpectedly began to open up to
Eren. The two developed a mutual bond. Deep down inside this could have slowly
started developing into much more for Annie. Another piece of evidence for this
actually comes from the attack on Titan junior high anime. I know what you're
thinking but hear me out! The series loves to poke fun at smaller or subtle things
from the original attack on Titan series. Couples and romances were a good
chunk of this. The anime didn't shy away from showing a shy Annie towards Eren.
It goes as far as showing a love triangle of course bringing Mikasa into
the picture so could this playful series have taken a light crush and put it much
more out into the open? I think it is possible! And you might be thinking going
into the junior high anime is a stretch but the interesting part here that you
may not be aware of it's just how much this was toned down for the anime. The
junior high manga has a lot more moments playing up Annie having feelings for mr.
Yeager. This stuff is sprinkled all around from the point where Annie is
introduced into the story. They even have full chapters dedicated to this. As you
could imagine Mikasa does not approve but back to the
original question did Annie love Eren? The way I see it the seeds were
growing the potential was there. Certain events unfortunately prevented this
from blossoming into anything. Perhaps Eren truly is Annie's knight in
shining armor that one day will wake her up but hey that's just an attack on
Titan love theory? Let's go with that! more important is what you think!
Question of the day, do you think that was anything special going on between
Annie and Aaron? Or do you think Mikasa would have cut Annie before it got too
far, oh wait... Also bonus C-day question of the day, who is your favorite
unofficial attack on Titan couple? Let's see who is the most popular! By the way
it definitely gives us a colossal thumbs up and subscribe.
