Does Mikasa really love Eren? That's my attack on Titan question for you! I know,
I know, you might be thinking what the hell Foxen! What's he even talking about?
He's obviously drunk! It should be way super obvious and Mikasa is into Eren,
perhaps even a little too obsessed with him, and honestly I thought everyone was
on the same page about this too but I keep on seeing comments from
people that say otherwise. And it's not just one or two. So we just had the
finale of Attack on Titan season 2 it gave us this wonderful moment between
Mikasa and Eren. Mikasa in her own way confess her feelings towards Eren. It
wasn't an outright confession or whatever you want to call it but it was
more like one if you think about these things in a more Japanese sense. Also
let's keep in mind that this is both an anime and of course a work of fiction. If
you have read the manga version of this chapter
I think the anime version makes this even more explicit. In that scene Mikasa
was clearly moving in for a farewell kiss, and before any of that,
she started blushing while telling this to Eren. If Mikasa really only thought of
Eren's little brother she would really have no reason to randomly start
blushing while thanking him. So right here let me take a moment and address two
other things that I've seen people mention. Why was Mikasa trying to make
out with Eren at that time? And why was she trying to do it right after Hannes
died? So about the first if you notice everywhere around that very moment it
was really a lost cause for everyone. There was practically no hope left in
winning. There were so many Titans all over the goddamn place, Reiner was slowly
inching towards them. Erwin had his arm missing. I think he was on the ground at that
time, and their strongest soldier Mikasa had her ribs broken and couldn't even
stand. Let's not forget about the fact that if Eren didn't have that last
minute ability every single person on that battlefield would have been dead
including Aaron. And about the kissing part,
it wasn't like Mikasa was going in for some tongue action. For Mikasa this very
much was their final moments together. If Eren had let it happen I would
imagine because it would have given minimum peck on the cheek or perhaps a
very light kiss. It wasn't like they were going to start
doing it right there and then. I don't know but it seems like a few
people might be in denial about this. The most popular reason I've seen about this
is that supposedly Mikasa only sees Eren as family, only as her brother. That
Mikasa and Eren getting together would be way too weird.
I've even seen one person mention a Mikasa is a stepsister, uh-huh what!
Anyway first off obviously you and I know that these two are not
blood-related like at all. If you happen to be caught up with the manga they've
made this very very explicit. Now let's look at a few key facts. You know that
Mikasa was adopted into the Jaeger family. I use the term "adopted" pretty
loosely here. It's more like joining to their family. For one Mikasa is still
Mikasa Ackerman. She was never really fully adopted into the Jaeger family.
I know some people are gonna scream who the hell cares! They're still siblings but
this is important. It does keep around an important distinction between Eren and
Mikasa. Secondly take a notice of the way that Mikasa addresses Grisha and Carla.
When she talks about them to Eren Mikasa refers to them as "your dad" and "your mom".
Clearly this shows that Mikasa doesn't see them as her own father or her own mother.
And there's a key reason for this and we'll get to it. If you have read
the Lost Girls story about Mikasa, you'll notice right here that my castle refers
to Carla at "Auntie Carla". As for Eren's father she refers to him as "Dr. Jaeger".
Even from Eren side when talking to Mikasa about the parents he refers to them
as "My parents". This right here shows that Eren saw the separation between both of
them, that they weren't truly brother and sister. And here's the third key thing.
The main argument about Mikasa having feelings towards Eren is that they grew
up together, but let's actually look at the details.
Mikasa unfortunately lost her parent and joined their family when she was nine
years old. One year later both of them became orphans at 10 years old. We don't
know the exact time but Mikasa was only living with them for more or less one
year. So right here you can't really say that they grew up together,
not for very long at least. Anyway I think this is more than enough evidence
put on a nail in the coffin for any deniers. Does Mikasa love Eren or at least have romantic
feelings for him? I think that's a definite, it should be even more clear
after seeing this video. On the other hand does Eren feel the same about
Mikasa? Here is where the problem lies. Eren has only seen Mikasa as this
older sister or motherly figure, but who knows where this may develop if
anything develops at all. Now something I did touch on on my recent Attack on
Titan season 2 finale review. Years later whenever Attack on Titan ends, Mikasa
ending up with Eren would be the obvious couple. I did mention there about how
Mr. Isayama doesn't believe in this destiny type of cliche. iItt may hurt
it think about but I don't see Mikasa and Eren being that destined couple at the
very end. So that's the question who's going to be the lucky guy. Is it going to
be Armin, Jean or perhaps Mr. X. It honestly depends on who's even alive at
that point. So question of the day for you, do you think Mikasa loves Eren?
That is after seeing this video, and bonus if this couple doesn't work out
who do you think will end up with Mikasa at the very end. Please be sure gave a
Colossal thumbs up if you enjoyed and subscribe!
This wasn't a video I exactly had planned to do next but there's just been so many
surprising amount of people that I've seen confused about this. Anyway let me know
which Attack on Titan topic you want to see covered next and I'll see you guys
later!
