Since their meeting, Mikasa has shown great loyalty to Eren. Her constant desire has been to protect him, especially in the face of the difficulties he’s been through. Her decision to join first the 104th Training Brigade, then later the Exploration Battalion, was motivated by her desire to ensure his safety when facing the Titans.
Although she’s always lent a helping hand to her other friends, it’s towards Eren that she feels the most affection, and she’d do anything to help him, as long as his actions didn’t cross certain serious boundaries.
9. She’s very honest
Mikasa is a strong woman who doesn’t mince her words. She’ll be among the first to speak her mind without backing down. If someone does something she disapproves of, her anger towards that person is obvious, as she doesn’t hide her emotions.
While some may perceive her as cold, fans know that she’s actually very kind. She doesn’t lie or hide secrets, unless she absolutely has to.
8. She’s one of the strongest characters in the series.
Even before joining the army, Mikasa was already remarkably powerful. However, she accumulated considerable experience over time, becoming one of the strongest characters in the entire series and probably the most powerful soldier in the Exploration Battalion by the end of the manga.
One of the features that manga readers appreciate most in their stories is the presence of epic battles, and Mikasa never fails to deliver them brilliantly.
7. She’s one of the few main characters not to have turned into a Titan.
At the start of the series, fans were surprised to see Eren transform into a titan. However, this has happened many times since, and most of the main characters have been titans at some point in the manga.
Annie was revealed to be the Female Titan, Bertholt and Reiner were revealed to be the Colossal and Dreadnought Titans, and Armin became Bertholt’s successor. Ymir, Sieg, Falco, Peak and others have also been shapeshifting Titans at some point in the series, and some might feel this has become too common at this stage. Fortunately, as an Ackerman, Mikasa will never be able to transform into a titan.
6. She saved many people in the Trost district
After Mikasa and her comrades from the 104th Training Brigade graduated, the Titan Colossal appeared in the Trost district and destroyed the wall. A group of titans began attacking the inhabitants, and the young army recruits had to fight for their survival, even before they had a chance to choose their branch of assignment. Mikasa proved to be one of the most valuable soldiers in this battle, keeping the citizens safe and guiding her comrades when all seemed lost. Without her help, the outcome of this battle would have been far more disastrous.
5. She defeated the Female Titan
At the beginning of the manga, Mikasa had a strong rivalry with Annie. When it was revealed that Annie was the Female Titan, Mikasa and Eren fought against her. Annie tried to escape by climbing a wall, but Mikasa sliced off her fingers, causing her to fall. However, before they could inflict any damage, Annie used her hardening power to create a crystal around her, invincible against any weapon. It was one of Mikasa’s best battles and marked the conclusion of the Female Titan arc.
4. She has her own spin-off book
The Attack of the Titans universe features numerous spin-offs. Some of these introduce new characters, such as Before the Fall and Harsh Mistress of the City, while shorter ones give popular characters their own story. In Lost Girls, Annie and Mikasa are the protagonists, and Mikasa’s story is introduced in the manga’s second volume. Set at a time when Mikasa thought Eren had been devoured in the Trost district, she imagines a reality where they haven’t joined the army. This volume stands out for its strange atmosphere and deviation from the main plot, but it remains an enjoyable read and a testament to Mikasa’s extraordinary nature.
3. She’s related to Livai and Kenny
The relationship between Mikasa and Levi didn’t get off to a good start. In order to integrate Eren into his team, Levi had to convince the military authorities that he could handle him. To do this, he had to defeat Eren in a fight. Mikasa witnessed the scene and immediately took a dislike to Levi. At the time, they had no idea that they were related by blood. As Levi had little knowledge of his past, he only discovered his kinship with the Ackermans during his last conversation with Kenny, when he also learned that Kenny was his uncle and a serial killer. Being related by blood to two army captains further enhanced Mikasa’s impressive character, adding to her already great aura of coolness.
2. She was able to fight the person she loves most.
Over the years, Eren has undergone a total transformation, becoming a completely different person from what he was at the beginning of the story. When he attacked Mahr, Mikasa felt that his actions were wrong. He also turned against her, expressing his hatred for her and regarding her as a slave. When he began the Great Terrassement, Mikasa realized she had to join the other soldiers of the Exploration Battalion as well as Marley’s warrior unit to defeat him.
1. She has one of the most tragic stories ever.
Before the series began, Mikasa lived with her parents. One day, Grisha was due to visit the Ackerman home to introduce Mikasa to Eren. Unfortunately, before the Jägers arrived, three human traffickers arrived and murdered Mikasa’s parents. They intended to sell Mikasa at a high price, but fortunately Eren intercepted them. He eliminated two of the men and saved Mikasa, unaware that a third remained. Mikasa avenged her parents and saved Eren by killing the last human trafficker, which also explains her formidable power. When Grisha found them, he welcomed Mikasa into his home and treated her as his own daughter. There are many reasons to admire Mikasa, and knowing what she’s been through is certainly one of the strongest.
