Their friendship dates back to childhood, with Mikasa finding solace in the Yeager household after the tragic loss of her parents. Living under the same roof, Mikasa\u2019s protective instincts towards Eren were always evident, whether it was shielding him from local bullies or later, from the Titans themselves. As they grew older, Mikasa\u2019s feelings for Eren evolved into romantic affection, and her unwavering devotion to him remained a central theme throughout the entire series. At times, Eren even expressed annoyance with the intensity of her feelings, asserting that she didn\u2019t genuinely love him. According to him, Mikasa\u2019s actions were dictated by the inherent duty of Ackermans to protect, a compulsion that seemed to activate instinctively. Given all of this, Mikasa would seem to be the last person one would expect to turn against Eren, but the situation is far more complex.<\/p>\n<p>Mikasa\u2019s ultimate decision comes to the forefront when Eren embarks on a perilous path. Gaining control of Ymir\u2019s Founding Titan, he unveils his intention to initiate the Rumbling \u2014 a plan that sets free the 600,000 Titans within the Walls of Eldia, setting them on a course to not only Marley, but to obliterate the entire world.<\/p>\n<p>While some staunchly defend Eren\u2019s actions, including the Yeagerists, Mikasa aligns herself with a select few to thwart his destructive rampage. Through painful sacrifices and epic battles, they ultimately achieve their goal. When the crucial moment arrives, Mikasa summons the strength to set aside her emotions and severs Eren\u2019s head, ending his life.<\/p>\n<p>In both the anime and manga adaptations of \u201cAttack on Titan,\u201d Mikasa\u2019s method of dispatching Eren remains consistent. After beheading him, she cradles his head in her hands, sharing a poignant kiss with him \u2014 a moment both tender and tragic. As this occurs, Ymir Fritz, once bound by her own chains, observes the scene, finally liberated.<\/p>\n<p>The question arises: why did Mikasa take such a drastic step? It\u2019s important to recognize the gravity of the situation. Mikasa prioritized the world\u2019s well-being and the greater good over Eren\u2019s life, demonstrating immense selflessness and the resolve to let go of the person who meant the world to her. Despite her love and dedication, Mikasa understood that ending Eren\u2019s life was the only way to halt the bloodshed. And ultimately, it succeeded. Eren\u2019s grand plan unfolded exactly as he envisioned, and the power of the Titans was eradicated from the world.<\/p>\n<p>For many fans, this turn of events was emotionally wrenching, particularly after learning of Eren\u2019s true feelings for Mikasa. However, with the anime and manga now concluded, there\u2019s no changing the course of events. While the conclusion aligns with the tone and themes of \u201cAttack on Titan,\u201d it has sparked divisive reactions among devoted fans who may find forgiveness and closure difficult to attain.<\/p>\n<p>For those who wish to relive the highs and lows, as well as the constant twists and turns of this anime adaptation, it is available for viewing on Crunchyroll.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the very beginning of \u201cAttack on Titan,\u201d viewers can easily discern the depth of the relationship between Mikasa Ackerman\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":10196,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[68],"tags":[2359],"class_list":["post-10195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tv","tag-attack-on-titan"],"reading_time":"3 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10195\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
