I love this scene. It's clear Mikasa is trying to keep her emotions under control, but it's clear throughout her speech that she was heavily affected by Eren's 'death.' I also love how Jean reacted :)
I agree Gabrielle Harris this is a great scene and really tells a lot about Mikasa as a character and her way of handling her emotions. She's really good at being a big sister to Eren and Aramin and always has the right things to say to them when they are conflicted and in need of advice but when it comes to her own emotions she's not as clear thinking and level headed. She handles her emotions very different than all the other characters on the show... She's subdued but when her cup runs over like that scene when she saw what the female titan did to Eren, she can explode and destroy anything in her path. When she has a clear end goal, saving Eren, saving Aramin she tends to handle her emotions better, in this scene she had an idea but I don't think she saw past killing the Titans on the way to the base... she just needed to kill something, she wasn't thinking about her gas, her life, nothing. I'm so glad she had that "moment" a little while later and realized she had plenty reason to continue to fight... Tatakae Mikasa #IfMikasaDiesWeRiot
Studious Boy she knows that making a big fuss about it like armin won’t contribute anything to the situation so she kept the sadness to herself and acted strong to try and cheer the rest up, which is what happened. Also, even though she has that kind of emotion towards eren, at that time he was more of a family member to her than her boyfriend, and it’s perfectly fine for her to be sad that her only family left died. Unlike other animes, AOT shows realistic emotions that a normal person would show, main character or not.
And yet they all were in awe and followed after her, so they must’ve been inspired. Plus I think she was trying extremely hard to stay strong and not give in to despair. Great scene
It annoys me when people say Mikasa is too clingy and obsessive over eren. She lost her family for gods sake. Then once another family took her in, she eventually lost them to from the titans. Eren is basically the only family she has left, so of course she would be over protective. Not only that but before Eren's mom died, she told Mikasa to protect Eren.
Yeah, its the most annoying thing about this fandom. They always characterize her as a clingy, overprotective yandere. She may have flaws but honestly, who doesn't? Take Levi for example. Everyone loves him, same goes for me but when you come to think of it, he's just an emotionless, fighting clean freak. talk about double standards 😒
mayasaurus Yea, Mikasa reminds me of Mika from Owari no seraph. They both lost their family so they are really protective and will do anything to the only ones they have left.
Incognito I think Eren is lying about that. Eren wants to turn his friends against him so he can do his plan (I don’t even know what the hell is his plan btw besides teaming up with Zeke )
She always says these type of stuff when she's desperate/ lost hope just like in chapter 135 when she said "Bring it on it, I'm strong so it doesn't matter how much of you are there to attack me"
Lets say we have a team with 10 members. Mikasa is one-man army, Jean is the second strongest and is very skilled at fighting. Connie and potato girl are the guys who help Jean and Mikasa but are nothing compared to them. And we have 1 good guy who well... do what is expected from him (Marco) and the other 5 are just uselesses who follow the strong teammates...
0:45 I really didn't pay attention at it when I watched this moment for the first time but there is a heartbreaking double sense in this sentence. When she says " Even if I'm alone" she wasn't talking about the others not fighting with her, I felt like she was talking about how alone she she must fight once again because her only family left portayed as Eren died.
I really love Mikasa. She's such a great character. She's so strong, yet when she's thought Eren was death, you actually see how human she is. She's weak and scared like everybody else. When she's with Eren she's strong because she trust him, she admires him. He literally saved her and he told her to be strong, to live. I also love how this situation is reversed in Amrin's case. He thinks he's weak and he doesn't understand why Eren and Mikasa keep "protecting" him. The truth is they both see so much more is Armin. They care about him, they respect him and they both admire him. You can clearly see that after Amrin's sacrifice. This is why friendship is so important. This is why we all need friends, true friends. This is why I FUCKING love this anime. As Cassandra clare said "Our hearts, they need a mirror, Tessa. We see our better selves in the eyes of those who love us. And there is a beauty that brevity alone provides.”
@@JC-qg5di *spoilers for non-manga readers* They're getting attacked left, right, and center by the titans on top of Eren's founding titan and Mikasa screams "Come on! I am strong!"
And that was so like her to do that. she's always showing up at the right time. The tension when they were training and the drill instructor was abusing Connie she pulled out the potato. Then on the wall when everyone was about to take their positions, she pulled out the meat... She showed up at the right time when Samuel fell off the wall, she ran down the side of that sh*t and saved him and this scene as you pointed out... Her reaction totally lightened the moment. Everyone had this bewildered look on their faces like "did Mikasa just dis all of us?" Then Sasha dissed them too and followed Mikasa which made them snap out of it like "oh hell nah, Sasha too? Ok we gonna show them" then they all charged!!! Great catch on your part. I love Sasha!!! She is my second favorite character behind Mikasa. I hope she has a bigger role season 2.
+Sick Bubblegum I KNOW RIGHT. Levi and Mikasa are practically almost the exact same person yet no one needles on Levi for the smallest, stupidest things. I bet it's a gender issue. Fucking double standards man.

I take a different insight to this speech, since Eren was their "hope" and he died (since he kept yapping about how he would down every Titan people felt good to have someone brave). But when he 'died' I feel like Mikasa took on that role, the role Eren would of taken on (had he been there) - the role of giving hope to the people. That's why when she states that she is strong, very strong. I don't think she's talking about herself, I think it's her talking about Eren, how people saw him - since she was taking on his role. I mean, read all those lines she says: you can relate them all to Eren somewhat and how she called them all "spineless cowards" - that's how Eren saw people, especially the military police ;)
Wow, deeper than i realized, i thought she was just drowning out her own pain the way Armin said but theres more to it than that, i think i was more surprised because Mikasa almost never talks and when she gave her first speech, it was insulting everyone and pretty much saying, "I don't need cowards by my side" when all their friends were dying.
2:28 Armin: Wow! Mikasa is so cool. She's not even letting Eren's death get to her. Mikasa (in her head): OH, GOD, WHY?! *Sobbing* EREN, WHY?! *more sobbing* EEERRRREEEEN!!
Armin: As a soldier, I swore to devote my heart to the resurrection of mankind! There is no greater glory than dying for that belief! For the glory of the human race... Erwin: ... to find meaning in our lives! ... rebel against this cruel world My soldiers, rage! My soldiers, scream! My soldiers, fight! Mikasa: ...you're spineless cowards How patetic So many ways to inspire!!!
I love the way Mikasa leads. There is zero fat in her speech. She doesn't try to lift anyone's spirits by pretending the situation is better than what it is, she doesn't give a long charismatic speech, she simply shows certainty in her abilities. Simultaneously shaming them but also reminding them that they're trained soldiers who are supposed to be better than cowering on a rooftop too afraid to do anything else.
She was irresponsible, and she admitted that, in trost after eren Fake death, she insulted other soldiers, because she wanted to go on a suicidal charge, and the reason she wanted to do that was because she wanted to die. The only reason everyone else got inspired was because they thought she had a plan to survive and win, and mistook her being suicidal for being brave.When she stopped wanting to die it was because she realized she wouldn't even be able to remember Eren if she died, and she didn't want that to happen. She overused gas,and get clapped by abnormal titian, She Nearly Allowed Herself To Be Killed, Consumed By Grief When She Thought Eren Was Dead
I was actually prepare to have her as the main character. She was so much interesting than Eren and has so much potential for growth. With Eren gone she would have need to found another reason to keep on living like Levi.
@@hunterofdarkness8329 true but His deadly weakness is his lack of Control of His emotions. And this traid nearly killed him at ep 5. He would be good at fighting But He NEED to THINK.
I think the anime wouldn't have been as intense and unpredictable if eren wasn't the mc. Like with mikasa and levi, yk they're gonna win any battle they face. Levi's my fav but I like him best as a side character
I actually think Armin is badass in this scene, everyone is either in fear or blinding following Mikasa, but he can still analyze Mikasa's action calmly. That's really a true tactician.
Armin isn't really a leader type of person and can't make people follow him like Erwin could, but he is good at coming up with plans and very intelligent, while Jean is good at commanding people and is respected by the others and when it comes to more formal stuff and overall tough decisions there's also Hanji, so they make up for Erwin together, no one can replace him individually.
How weird it is I come back to S1 to heal from S4. When i first watched it it seemed so traumatic. Rewatching it now after S4 you still get to see character smile and have funny moments. S4 they all just lose their smile and light in the eyes
Haters: Isayama changed the original ending. The editors wanted to downplay the role of Historia and persuaded Isayama to sideline Historia. Eren was supposed to go back to Paradis, abandoned everyone, and reunited with his blonde wife. Meanwhile Isayama: "Mikasa is the first character I created for AOT. She is meant to be the centerpiece of AOT. The story starts with Ern/Mikasa and will end with Eren/ Mikasa" - Isayama Hajime, 2014.
He changed the ending, but that was in 2015, the original ending was for Eren to kill his friends and live a shitty life afterwards, now the ending was kind of the opposite of that.
@@nowhereboy5928 Nah the original ending has been reiterated that 3 people running towards the tree and they are Eren, Mikasa and Armin. That's the ending established when he submitted his work to Kodansha because the publisher only accepted the work when its ending was drafted some how. Later, when the editor reviewed Isayama's ending (EMA running towards the tree) they shared their ideas and Isayama quickly changed it.
I have to say as much as I love wit studio, they dropped the ball when it came to mikasas character. They cut out so much dialogue from the manga which shows she’s not eren obsessed like they did in the anime.
I'll never forgive wit for that! Yes their animation was top notch but the version they created of mikasa is the reason so many people misinterpret her character and it's just sad! She's so much more than that!
@@mikahiveee exactly. Then wit also left out the bandage on her arm that hides her clan tattoo that her mother gave her, mappa picked it up though thank god but it confused so many people cause she never had it throughout all 3 seasons! But honestly it annoys me when people say she only shows emotion when it comes to eren. You can tell she cares for armin soo much! Sasha aswell, she loves her friends. Of course she’s going to show more emotion when it comes to the person she’s in love with that’s just human nature lmao
Fr like they had the audacity to replace armin and eren's scenes to mikasa and eren's scene smh eren and mikasa's relationship always been shoved down our throats
I've watched this scene way too many times. One of the all-time peaks of AoT, a show that I love. Whenever I feel so frustrated, like giving up, I come back to it. Don't wanna down the Mikasa that lives inside me :)
@@Kablowshky If Eren entire body was transformed and not just his head he could have been bigger and surpass the skies so unlimited gas won't do anything if your blade dulls
idk why everyone says she’s just some obsessive yandere towards eren, he’s basically all she has left, and without him she would’ve been living through hell.
What about Armin, her other friends, the rest of the world??? For gods sake WHY Eren is so important, does everyone around her don't make her happy, belive in her? Season 4 Mikasa simply IMMOBILIZED Armin just because he tried to hit Eren, who at that point was killing a lot of people indiscriminately
maybe because Eren saved her from being sold off as a sex slave to some crappy old man? or maybe it's how thanks to him, the people that killed her right in front were taken care of? How offered a home and a family right after she lost everything she had at 9yrs old. He saved her and welcomed her into his family. Isn't that enough to love him more than anyone else?
This show has the most perfect soundtrack I've ever heard. The lyrics at 2:32 fit the scene perfectly. "You can't hide yourself, you can't run / We're fighting for our lives / And we just cannot lose again / There's not much time / Be ready to fight / Do it."
I keep coming back here. You ever hear those stories when a piece of fiction inspired someone so much that their world changed forever? Yeah, Mikasa is one of those characters for me. I have been a fan of anime since I was a kid, and the lack of emotionally strong female characters had an impact on me. I was always one of those girls who needed to put up some drama to get attention or act frail so someone could protect me. But deep inside I always hated that part of me, but its something that I always saw the women around me do. When I started AoT and found Mikasa, at first I almost hated her because I shipped her so hard with Eren, but she wouldn't ever put herself in a situation of vulnerability where he could swoop in to save her, or comfort her, or protect her. In fact, she would be the one doing all of that for him. Even if that meant he hated her...because he couldn't establish that dominance on her, that men are so used to. Eventually, I came to respect her character. She is so strong, smart and still has a kind heart. She uses all her strength to protect those she loves. You may think she is cold or not good at expressing herself, but thats a lie. At the end of season 2, her confession of gratefulness to Eren was so clear-cut and straightforward. When she is worried, she lets Eren know by asking "Eren, are you okay?" , "Eren, if you go to Garrison, I will go with you. If you go to the military, I will follow you there." She is straightforward and confident with her words. So I am convinced that Mikasa has great emotional skills. So its not by a lack of ability, but by CHOICE, that she doesn't express her weakness...she doesn't cry and put up a drama in situations where she easily could (example when Eren asked her "why did you lose weight when we had plenty to eat" when it was clear why she had been stressed out or "I will get you a new muffler" when clearly that particular muffler meant everything to her. But she chooses to stay silent. She may look like her whole world is Eren, but even when eren has supposedly died in this episode, she still stays strong and doesn't abandon her will to live. She only cries when she finds out Eren is still alive. She inspires me so much and I have changed a lot because of this amazing character. I have become stronger, I am more mature and controlled with my emotions, I love harder, I live fearlessly and I don't hesitate in lending my strength to guys or girls who need me. I almost feel like a hero with this new change in me, and I love it xD
Jesus, I watch it again and I just realize how much chemistry between Jean and Mikasa in this scene. Mikasa plan to go and die alone (with Eren) but Jean lead convince his friends to help Mikasa fighting titan. Even though they can't help her much but it does show how much Jean care for Mikasa.
That shot of Mikasa holding her sword up high among her team is the first thing that pops in my mind whenever I think about Mikasa’s strength as a soldier.
She reiterates how strong she is because everyone is afraid of facing titans. She will do most of the fighting as long so as all the weaklings follow her they should be fine. Not the most inspiring thing to hear that you're weak, but if you're that afraid to face a titan it would be more logical to make a run for it with one of humanities toughest soldiers leading you than be a sitting duck
the way she just looks at armin and told him ‘there’s no time to be sad’ after he told her that eren sacrificed you can literally see the pain in her eyes that she’s keeping. this girl had went through a lot.
God if she became the main character here......this was the last episode mikasa went through character development with plot focus on her......still my favorite episode ever
1:41 this scene with the music in the backround....and seeing mikasa fighting...made me fall more for her*-* and i also love Jean so much...his character is so touching... my 2nd fav husband in this anime xD [Levi is my fav♡]
She let them know how weak they are, while she just found out that her most loved person has just died she did not show herself defeated. "If you don't fight you will die, but if you fight you will live"
yeah but if she wasn't here they won't move they will just wait till their is a titan and they won't have gas after sometime, yeah I agree that it was sucidal but it pay afterwards
"Shes not in her usual cool headed state. She wants to drown out her pain through action." They should have kept that line, except say "Shes not in her usual cool headed state. shes trying to use adrenaline to hide her pain(or grief)."
Armin lost his family, Mikasa lost her family, Eren lost his family, even Annie Berth and Reiner still had their families even though they were the only foreigners. Our strong trio had nothing else but each other to help support each other. A bunch of young teens. They became more than friends.
One of the best scenes of AOT , but are we not gonna talk about the background music while mikasa fuks all the titans while almost not thinking? holy shit... more i think about it, and always get goosebumps H-O-L-Y-S-H-I-T
I love this scene. It's clear Mikasa is trying to keep her emotions under control, but it's clear throughout her speech that she was heavily affected by Eren's 'death.' I also love how Jean reacted :)

She is NOT his sister. Wtf is wrong with people, its depressing. I repeat, MIKASA IS NOT EREN'S SISTER.

Rene Repeating Japanese speeches doesn't make you weeb.
what does it say??
I take a different insight to this speech, since Eren was their "hope" and he died (since he kept yapping about how he would down every Titan people felt good to have someone brave). But when he 'died' I feel like Mikasa took on that role, the role Eren would of taken on (had he been there) - the role of giving hope to the people. That's why when she states that she is strong, very strong. I don't think she's talking about herself, I think it's her talking about Eren, how people saw him - since she was taking on his role. I mean, read all those lines she says: you can relate them all to Eren somewhat and how she called them all "spineless cowards" - that's how Eren saw people, especially the military police ;)
Nice post.
"If I can't, I'll just die. But if I win, I'll live. Unless I fight I cannot win." - Eren said that to Mikasa.
***** thanks , i really didn t notice that .
you anderstood better than i ... thanks for that !
Wow, deeper than i realized, i thought she was just drowning out her own pain the way Armin said but theres more to it than that, i think i was more surprised because Mikasa almost never talks and when she gave her first speech, it was insulting everyone and pretty much saying, "I don't need cowards by my side" when all their friends were dying.
2:28
Armin: Wow! Mikasa is so cool. She's not even letting Eren's death get to her.
Mikasa (in her head): OH, GOD, WHY?! *Sobbing* EREN, WHY?! *more sobbing* EEERRRREEEEN!!
We all knew she was thinking that :P

I love the way Mikasa leads. There is zero fat in her speech. She doesn't try to lift anyone's spirits by pretending the situation is better than what it is, she doesn't give a long charismatic speech, she simply shows certainty in her abilities. Simultaneously shaming them but also reminding them that they're trained soldiers who are supposed to be better than cowering on a rooftop too afraid to do anything else.
She was irresponsible, and she admitted that, in trost after eren Fake death, she insulted other soldiers, because she wanted to go on a suicidal charge, and the reason she wanted to do that was because she wanted to die. The only reason everyone else got inspired was because they thought she had a plan to survive and win, and mistook her being suicidal for being brave.When she stopped wanting to die it was because she realized she wouldn't even be able to remember Eren if she died, and she didn't want that to happen. She overused gas,and get clapped by abnormal titian,

TRUE WINGS OF FREEDOM!

I agree, in chapter 135 of aot manga, you can see mikasa having angel wings on her back which i think represents the wings of freedom
I was actually prepare to have her as the main character. She was so much interesting than Eren and has so much potential for growth. With Eren gone she would have need to found another reason to keep on living like Levi.

@@hunterofdarkness8329 true but His deadly weakness is his lack of Control of His emotions. And this traid nearly killed him at ep 5. He would be good at fighting But He NEED to THINK.
I think the anime wouldn't have been as intense and unpredictable if eren wasn't the mc. Like with mikasa and levi, yk they're gonna win any battle they face. Levi's my fav but I like him best as a side character
I actually think Armin is badass in this scene, everyone is either in fear or blinding following Mikasa, but he can still analyze Mikasa's action calmly. That's really a true tactician.
“They’re nuts”

Eren have the best character development and Jean have the most beautiful character development ❤️
No he was never an official leader thanks to Isayama cuz apperantly Armin is a better leader
@@cantutmez8854 it's your opinion but have you watched last episodes of season 4 part 2 that will give you an idea how great he is as a leader
Armin isn't really a leader type of person and can't make people follow him like Erwin could, but he is good at coming up with plans and very intelligent, while Jean is good at commanding people and is respected by the others and when it comes to more formal stuff and overall tough decisions there's also Hanji, so they make up for Erwin together, no one can replace him individually.

Haters: Isayama changed the original ending. The editors wanted to downplay the role of Historia and persuaded Isayama to sideline Historia. Eren was supposed to go back to Paradis, abandoned everyone, and reunited with his blonde wife.
Meanwhile Isayama:
"Mikasa is the first character I created for AOT. She is meant to be the centerpiece of AOT. The story starts with Ern/Mikasa and will end with Eren/ Mikasa" - Isayama Hajime, 2014.
Ladies and gentlemen, most tragic love story I've ever read
Hfjfjfjfjf
He changed the ending, but that was in 2015, the original ending was for Eren to kill his friends and live a shitty life afterwards, now the ending was kind of the opposite of that.
@@nowhereboy5928 Nah the original ending has been reiterated that 3 people running towards the tree and they are Eren, Mikasa and Armin. That's the ending established when he submitted his work to Kodansha because the publisher only accepted the work when its ending was drafted some how. Later, when the editor reviewed Isayama's ending (EMA running towards the tree) they shared their ideas and Isayama quickly changed it.

I have to say as much as I love wit studio, they dropped the ball when it came to mikasas character. They cut out so much dialogue from the manga which shows she’s not eren obsessed like they did in the anime.
I'll never forgive wit for that! Yes their animation was top notch but the version they created of mikasa is the reason so many people misinterpret her character and it's just sad! She's so much more than that!
@@mikahiveee exactly. Then wit also left out the bandage on her arm that hides her clan tattoo that her mother gave her, mappa picked it up though thank god but it confused so many people cause she never had it throughout all 3 seasons!
But honestly it annoys me when people say she only shows emotion when it comes to eren. You can tell she cares for armin soo much! Sasha aswell, she loves her friends. Of course she’s going to show more emotion when it comes to the person she’s in love with that’s just human nature lmao
Fr like they had the audacity to replace armin and eren's scenes to mikasa and eren's scene smh eren and mikasa's relationship always been shoved down our throats

If Eren entire body was transformed and not just his head he could have been bigger and surpass the skies so unlimited gas won't do anything if your blade dulls
idk why everyone says she’s just some obsessive yandere towards eren, he’s basically all she has left, and without him she would’ve been living through hell.
What about Armin, her other friends, the rest of the world??? For gods sake WHY Eren is so important, does everyone around her don't make her happy, belive in her? Season 4 Mikasa simply IMMOBILIZED Armin just because he tried to hit Eren, who at that point was killing a lot of people indiscriminately
maybe because Eren saved her from being sold off as a sex slave to some crappy old man? or maybe it's how thanks to him, the people that killed her right in front were taken care of? How offered a home and a family right after she lost everything she had at 9yrs old. He saved her and welcomed her into his family. Isn't that enough to love him more than anyone else?
@@CelVini you should go through the same thing mikasa experienced, and then let me show your reaction

Does "Aho" mean anything? The subtitles say "retards", but google translates say it's not a word.
"Aho" has many slightly different means depending on the situation.
In this scene, "retards" is roughly correct.

Came here after AOT135, MIKASA "GOAT" ACKERMAN
Samee
what happened
@@saikoukayo5777 read ch. 135 on manga
yea i knew It reminded me of something
Yassss
I keep coming back here. You ever hear those stories when a piece of fiction inspired someone so much that their world changed forever? Yeah, Mikasa is one of those characters for me. I have been a fan of anime since I was a kid, and the lack of emotionally strong female characters had an impact on me. I was always one of those girls who needed to put up some drama to get attention or act frail so someone could protect me. But deep inside I always hated that part of me, but its something that I always saw the women around me do. When I started AoT and found Mikasa, at first I almost hated her because I shipped her so hard with Eren, but she wouldn't ever put herself in a situation of vulnerability where he could swoop in to save her, or comfort her, or protect her. In fact, she would be the one doing all of that for him. Even if that meant he hated her...because he couldn't establish that dominance on her, that men are so used to. Eventually, I came to respect her character. She is so strong, smart and still has a kind heart. She uses all her strength to protect those she loves. You may think she is cold or not good at expressing herself, but thats a lie. At the end of season 2, her confession of gratefulness to Eren was so clear-cut and straightforward. When she is worried, she lets Eren know by asking "Eren, are you okay?" , "Eren, if you go to Garrison, I will go with you. If you go to the military, I will follow you there." She is straightforward and confident with her words. So I am convinced that Mikasa has great emotional skills. So its not by a lack of ability, but by CHOICE, that she doesn't express her weakness...she doesn't cry and put up a drama in situations where she easily could (example when Eren asked her "why did you lose weight when we had plenty to eat" when it was clear why she had been stressed out or "I will get you a new muffler" when clearly that particular muffler meant everything to her. But she chooses to stay silent. She may look like her whole world is Eren, but even when eren has supposedly died in this episode, she still stays strong and doesn't abandon her will to live. She only cries when she finds out Eren is still alive.
She inspires me so much and I have changed a lot because of this amazing character. I have become stronger, I am more mature and controlled with my emotions, I love harder, I live fearlessly and I don't hesitate in lending my strength to guys or girls who need me.
I almost feel like a hero with this new change in me, and I love it xD
I love the way mikasa inspires u and me too!! 🤗
ミカサの(ので)が好き!

STRONG MIND..STRONG SOUL....That is why I love mikasaaa!!!!
DOA was the perfect soundtrack for this moment! Just listen to the words. "I kno how you feel, but we kno what we must do." Golden~ 😌
Fantabulous Tg what’s the name of the song?
coming back here after AOT ends, just to see again how strong Mikasa really is.
1:35 I like how Jean's voice sounds a little hoarse.
Pun opportunity detected
I read "hoarse" as horse and I couldn't stop laughing XD
Angel In Luv HA! You caught it too! 😂
Kokora Misumi yes lmao XD
but , he fucking traitor
one of my fav scene in whole show so far
One of my all time favorite AOT scenes and honestly what made me fall in love with Mikasa 😍

Even tho he is scared...he still tries his best.... ♡

Please stop this XD bullshit ffs
KyranSparda wouldn't it be better to say she's half titan so there's nothing impossible for her
More like overusing her gas reserves
This is the scene that made me fall in love with this character..! Mikasa
Jesus, I watch it again and I just realize how much chemistry between Jean and Mikasa in this scene. Mikasa plan to go and die alone (with Eren) but Jean lead convince his friends to help Mikasa fighting titan. Even though they can't help her much but it does show how much Jean care for Mikasa.
I love how Jean's parts hint at how he feels about Mikasa!
How nostalgic, AoT is still a living masterpiece
That shot of Mikasa holding her sword up high among her team is the first thing that pops in my mind whenever I think about Mikasa’s strength as a soldier.
This is why i fell in love with Mikasa... she’s a total badass... even 2020 is almost over but repeating this scene still give me the chills
We need more strong characters like her.
WARNING some spoilers in the comments
In addition, manga spoilers also.
She reiterates how strong she is because everyone is afraid of facing titans. She will do most of the fighting as long so as all the weaklings follow her they should be fine. Not the most inspiring thing to hear that you're weak, but if you're that afraid to face a titan it would be more logical to make a run for it with one of humanities toughest soldiers leading you than be a sitting duck
the way she just looks at armin and told him ‘there’s no time to be sad’ after he told her that eren sacrificed you can literally see the pain in her eyes that she’s keeping. this girl had went through a lot.
Indeed 😭😭😭
God if she became the main character here......this was the last episode mikasa went through character development with plot focus on her......still my favorite episode ever
Mikasa is amazing i love her sooo much
1:49 My man Marco was ahead of his time.
Mikasa in the final episode "Im strong so..." *falco flies in*
who else is back from chapter 135
Me lol. That chapter was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
ミカサの ので 可愛い過ぎる
This scene is one of the best scenes of Mikasa
2:33 to 2:40 fucking beautiful
Agreed
Agreed
This moment just lets me appreciate what a wonderfull voice actor for Mikasa there is.
This scene should have lasted longer with her just slicing up the Titans and soaring thru the air really fast.
Such a great show. The writing and characterizations at display here is amazing.
1:41 this scene with the music in the backround....and seeing mikasa fighting...made me fall more for her*-* and i also love Jean so much...his character is so touching... my 2nd fav husband in this anime xD [Levi is my fav♡]
Hella true!
What is this song name?
How ı find this music?
She let them know how weak they are, while she just found out that her most loved person has just died she did not show herself defeated. "If you don't fight you will die, but if you fight you will live"
This part was the reason why I fell in love with Mikasa's charecter. And also she was the 1st reason why I continued watching Aot
I really like these slight hints of emotions in Ishikawa Yui's voice.
She wasn't really being "epic" in this moment. She had just stopped caring about living.
Agreed. It scared me. When she still dodged the titan even while she was hurt, I cheered. I didn’t want her to be finished with life yet.
Mikasa's "leadership" just consists of her going on a suicide charge. Meanwhile Jean organized an actual retreat and saved several lives
yeah but if she wasn't here they won't move they will just wait till their is a titan and they won't have gas after sometime, yeah I agree that it was sucidal but it pay afterwards
"Shes not in her usual cool headed state. She wants to drown out her pain through action." They should have kept that line, except say "Shes not in her usual cool headed state. shes trying to use adrenaline to hide her pain(or grief)."
Armin lost his family, Mikasa lost her family, Eren lost his family, even Annie Berth and Reiner still had their families even though they were the only foreigners. Our strong trio had nothing else but each other to help support each other. A bunch of young teens. They became more than friends.
Coming back here after chapter 135
