She cares about finding Eren, not about the Yaegerists or their revolution or Paradis civil war. She as in season 1 didn’t care who died.. she only cares about Eren. And since Eren lies to her and tells Mikasa’ ackerman blood is the only reason she likes Eren, all works out for Eren as he gets Mikasa to chop his head to stop the rumbling.

[@cyndixx]

@@peacepipe6695 LMFAO WHAT. No one said she’s obligated to care for anyone, but as a character that’s written to be “kind” but “cold” at the same time, she must behave as such. Like Levi, he would never ever do that to a fellow comrade. Mikasa had no reason to behave the way she did, especially when Louise didn’t even steal the scarf, mikasa left it. And even if she did take the scarf she shouldn’t be so childish and cold for that, she couldn’t even show her some sympathy in her last moments but she was so nice to the girl who killed one of her best friends and Annie who killed her comrades. She literally convinced eren to fight her and said it was to avenge their fellow comrades, what happened to that mikasa? The one with a fucking personality

Louise took all of the wrong lessons from Mikasa. The saying goes that you should never meet your heroes, or at least, don't worship the ground they walk on.

Thats a fantastic way to put it. Louise filled in the blanks for a lot of things with Mikasa.

[@arcturionblade1077]

@@SeaTactics You can devote yourself to another person but when your whole self identity is wrapped up entirely in another individual, it's certainly not a healthy or good way to live. Mikasa has realized this, like you said, and sees these same fatal flaws in herself and in Lousie who's repeating her own mistakes. Mikasa could show Louise a bit more empathy and compassion, true, but I think Mikasa is one of those types of people who have an emotional cup with only a limited amount of space to fill, and by that point in time it's overflowing due to Armin's words, Sasha's death, and Eren's betrayal.

[@SeaTactics]

Yeah, I don't think it was at all out of character for Mikasa. I think it's surprising coming from her, but Mikasa also threatened to kill Levi at one point as well. So I think it's safe to say Mikasa is somewhat very level headed mostly, but when she's not it's surprising. Plus, the scarf is a symbol of her love for Eren, why wouldn't she be a little miffed about that? Dying Yaegerist or not.

@@tyreviews6774 Okay, I will rephrase myself. You can "justify" her actions from emotionless robot perspective. But you can't explain it from a genuine human being perspective, and Mikasa is not a robot. This is why people are saying it's out of character, not because it cannot be logically explained, but because that's not how Mikasa acted before.

[@siegeds2221]

@@ГрафСорочанский-и4я I wouldn't call it justification, but more of a reason... Mikasa's character is someone who lives because of Eren, for Eren, & Only Eren. The only time she shows any concern for anything or anyone else is Armin & it can be argued that those feelings are being projected from Eren. This is made clear in season 1 when she literally gave up on living because she thought Eren was dead & the ONLY thing that kept her fighting to continue living was the memory of EREN telling her to fight. I loved Mikasa's character & still do but the scene when Mikasa took the scarf from Louise hurt me because it shows Mikasa's true robotic & uncaring character when Eren rejects her or dies. Louise was on her death bed showing admiration for Mikasa, speaking what could very well be her last words to her hero & Mikasa is just like "give me my scarf", takes it, & leaves without showing any concern for someone dieing. To make things worse she not only leaves, but leaves in the middle of her sentence because she doesn't care. She doesn't know how to care without Eren. All she cares/lives for is Eren & her character that we've seen to this point is a product of that... Without Eren, she is a shell of her former self, robotic & uncaring with no purpose or way to think for herself. We are finally seeing her for who she truly is. Unlike other characters she's still a blank canvas yet to discover herself because she's been projecting Eren's canvas from the moment he saved her. To be clear, I'm not disliking this from a writing perspective but from an eye opening perspective on my part as I didn't realize this about Mikasa's character until this & this sets up great character development for her as we get witness how she finally becomes her own person developing feelings of her own outside of Eren & moving forward.

Another banger vid Seatactics! I think Louise was infatuated by Mikasa’s strength but misunderstood her as a person. Louise joins the military then the Jeagerists because she wanted to follow in Mikasa’s footsteps and wants to be closer to her however Mikasa rejects the Jeagerists and their values because she knows deep down that the raid on liberio and the rumbling is wrong however Louise is oblivious to this and continues to follow Eren and the Jeagerists because she assumes that’s what Mikasa would do. Mikasa realising this in the last episode is why she gives the cold shoulder to Louise she sees too much of herself in her

Mmm Eren never ignored Mikasa, he always loved her and did everything to protect her, and she always protected him cause he was her family... while Mikasa never knew Louise, saying that they're alike is kinda superficial level of paralleling since Mikasa stands against everything that Louise is, she's not a yeagerist, she's not a blind follower, she always put Eren in place when he was rude esp to Armin, she was her own person and she will choose to do things on her own will..

[@SeaTactics]

Very good point, I was thinking about everything that happened in the Final Season and projecting that onto the rest of the series. Very good catch, very very good one.

[@revenge3265]

I completely disagree that it's "superficial". Louise is pretty much a broken mirror of Mikasa. Shes Mikasa if she went down the wrong path. It's very clear how these characters are paralleled to each other and to say it's "superficial" does a disservice to both of the characters as well as Isayama's vision.

[@boianko]

The comparison is not between Louise and Mikasa as she is, it is between Louise and the "slave" Mikasa that Eren talks about when he says he hates her. Both are blind followers doing anything to please their heroes and have no autonomy of their own. Mikasa realizes this and wants to prove Eren wrong, it's also because she sees this version of herself in Louise that she reacts with such disdain in their final meeting.

[@boianko]

@@lilmupp875 Mikasa constantly tries to rescue Eren and keep him safe, yes she isn't trying to please him, but that's how he spins it when he talks eith her and Armin at the table.

[@timbywahoo]

i’ve seen a lot of comments about Mikasa being this villain type for the way she acted so i thought i’d make a comment from a different perspective. Just because Louise idolizes Mikasa doesn’t mean Mikasa needs to have any connections with her or act like the Mikasa that Louise has made up in her mind. Mikasa acted as she usually does to anyone she isn’t close with and to act nice to someone frankly speaking she just doesn’t care about would be just as weird and out of character to me, just because Louise is dying doesn’t obligate Mikasa to be someone she isn’t. And in aot it would be very difficult to care about every person because so many people die. Mikasa only has room to care about her friends and thats it, not some girl who idolizes her and lives to mirror her. but thats just my opinion ofc

[@qwertyasdfg4962]

You're not wrong in saying Mikasa doesn't have to care about Louise, but denying her any sort of final words (especially in her deathbed) isn't a sign of growth for Mikasa's relationship with Eren, as her and Louise's share a lot of similarities (but not completely). Mikasa in the very least should've spared even a small moment to hear Louise out. She isn't a villain in any case, but she doesn't seem to react to this situation at all which leads me to ask: why bring Louise up in the first place if it won't mean anything to Mikasa? It's a part of the story where the pre-established character is put in an uncomfortable situation and instead of gaining any sort of knowledge or change in their mindset, they brush it off as if it meant nothing at all. If an aspect of the story brings nothing new to its characters or doesn't help them grow in any way, it's just wasted space.

One thing that I've always found interesting about Louise and Mikasa is they are Parallel's of each other. They both had a hero who came in to there rescue them. Who they wanted to follow the difference with Mikasa and Louise though is that Mikasa actually got to grow up with and know Eren. They had an actual strong bond. Meanwhile Louise never had a chance to actually get to know Mikasa and when she did she didn't try to really get to know her she mainly projected on what she thought Mikasa would do without actually getting to know her as a person.

[@raymanley312]

Explaining how Louise is a mirror of Mikasa is an entryway to explaining how Mikasa is a mirror of Ymir Fritz. Mikasa existing for the sole purpose of existing for someone else, and chasing after an idealized version of someone else is exactly why Ymir Fritz continued to serve, and to love, King Fritz, even after death, and their story being about “Breaking free of the shadow of a person who defines you” all wraps around to Ymir in an extremely wrapped up way

"Family"... she fears loosing Eren who she considers her family the same way she lost her family(parents). This terrifies her & makes her want to stay close to Eren at all times because it puts her at ease knowing 1000% that he's ok, & because she's strong she trusts & believes in her ability to protect him if needed.

I thought it was a good portrayal of how to deal with obsessive stans who jack your sh*t

>ughhh mikasa regressed Being forceful against someone disrespecting you is not regression at all. You're actually a lot like Louise. You expect your hero to be something that they just aren't, and when they aren't you cry about it

[@alc4528]

@ nah Mikasa doing a moonwalk rn😂.

[@ariyillann]

Your point makes sense if Louise wasn't on the verge of death, But in reality Mikasa took the scarf from a girl who was critically wounded and had very low chances of surviving. Plus Louise literally worshipped her and that's like the equivalent of a celebrity going to a hospital to meet their dying fans and just straight up being cold asf to them. Like wtf💀

[@els3085]

It’s a different situation though because mikasa is firstly exhausted her childhood best friend is literally crushing the earth and she has so much on her plate right now so it can’t be compared to some random celebrity going to the hospital plus Mikasa saved Louise twice from dying so I think she’s done more than enough for her

[@Suny-Halo]

@@els3085 Everyone has a lot on their plate it doesn't excuse her for being an asshole she could've shown some sort of kindness to someone on their deathbed

[@anjaneyasreetrout2444]

While we can all agree what Mikasa was way too harsh but at the same time considering all the shit that went down in the span of few days? She was at her lowest point of her life. Emotionally exhausted to say the least. I am not trying to excuse her actions by any means. But it explains her behavior to some extent.

[@timbywahoo]

Just because Louise idolizes Mikasa doesn’t mean Mikasa needs to have any connections with her or act like the Mikasa that Louise has made up in her mind. Mikasa acted as she usually does to anyone she isn’t close with, just because Louise is dying doesn’t obligate Mikasa to be someone she isn’t. but thats just my opinion ofc

[@quenotelasabes]

Mikasa isn't a good person it's as simple as that, she doesn't care about anyone who doesn't agree with her viewpoint or is opposed to her, she never hesitated to kill anyone that stands in her way and she's showed no mercy nor emotions multiple times in the past. But unlike Eren she thinks that eliminating humanity is wrong, since the vast majority did nothing to deserve that fate. Not a good person but still has morals and she knows that

Eren was close to Mikasa. They lived together. From the moment Eren saved Mikasa until he snuck away they were always 10 feet of eachover.

[@dharamveerchopra]

Nah when eren got eaten they were definitely more distance apart otherwise mikasa wouldn’t have let eren got eaten

[@angelchavez4245]

Mikasa lost her will to live after Eren was eaten by a Titan. The only reasoning she got up and kept fighting was because she wanted to keep the memory of him alive.

[@darkforst17]

I like how aot draws so much parallel: Louise and Mikasa Sasha and Kaya

[@ArthursLittleWorld]

Watching this video because I had no clue who was that girl (Louise) during scarf scene with Mikasa. My guess, the real reason why many didn't remember who she was is because she's rare appearings were mixed with weekly periods of release of new episodes combined with long pause between part 1 & 2 of the final season. Hell, on my first view of AOT years ago, I decided to see manga because I wanted to see the story ahead, & when Sasha was killed by Gabi, I had no emotion whatsoever cuz I didn't remember who Sasha was lol only when I decided to rewatch all AOT in one breath, few years after that manga moment, I realized why so many were unhappy with Sasha's death when I was not. I guess that's the problem of third or secondary characters for a series, the weekly releases with long pauses make lose that touch of value or importance to them.

[@jessmith7324]

I never had an issue with mikasa's love for eren. And she's not so loyal to him that she's an robot. She hits him several times. I think that theres a wierd destiny thing going on where she and eren are star crossed. Think back to Lost girls where even in that timeline she loved him. And Eren was warmer to her there as well. Shes got hard choices to make for sure, but I never thought the root issue was her love for him. Most ppl wish they had a partner that devoted

[@siegeds2221]

In my opinion, I think that's a misunderstanding of the issue... let me know what you think. Mikasa's character is someone who lives because of Eren, for Eren, & Only Eren. The only time she shows any concern for anything or anyone else is Armin & it can be argued that those feelings are being projected from Eren. This is made clear in season 1 when she literally gave up on living because she thought Eren was dead & the ONLY thing that kept her fighting to continue living was the memory of EREN telling her to fight. I loved Mikasa's character & still do but the scene when Mikasa took the scarf from Louise hurt me because it shows Mikasa's true robotic & uncaring character when Eren rejects her or dies. Louise was on her death bed showing admiration for Mikasa, speaking what could very well be her last words to her hero & Mikasa is just like "give me my scarf", takes it, & leaves without showing any concern for someone dieing. To make things worse she not only leaves, but leaves in the middle of her sentence because she doesn't care. She doesn't know how to care without Eren. All she cares/lives for is Eren & her character that we've seen to this point is a product of that... Without Eren, she is a shell of her former self, robotic & uncaring with no purpose or way to think for herself. We are finally seeing her for who she truly is. Unlike other characters she's still a blank canvas yet to discover herself because she's been projecting Eren's canvas from the moment he saved her. To be clear, I'm not disliking this from a writing perspective but from an eye opening perspective on my part as I didn't realize this about Mikasa's character until this & this sets up great character development for her as we get witness how she finally becomes her own person developing feelings of her own outside of Eren & moving forward.

[@jessmith7324]

@@siegeds2221 I see your points and I honestly can't outright reject them because so much of the characters in aot are based on interpretation unless the person actually says it. Mikasa has said in season 2 that there's only so many ppl she can care about. This includes the circle of friends which she is shown supporting. So it's easy to see her as cold and she is She's def attached or in love w Eren but I don't think it's to a robot degree, at least yet. As well Eren has subtilty shown awareness of Mikasas feelings and somewhat returns it, but he was also focused on his goals. It's a twisted but not intentionally twisted relationship for sure. Both are equally damaged. But I see the points you made as well

[@siegeds2221]

@@jessmith7324 Thanks... also, I agree that her love for Eren isn't to a robotic degree. One of the points I was trying to make is that her emotions & character are tied to Eren through her love for him & without him she becomes a bit robotic because of this.

Thank you. I had no idea what was going on with Louise or who she even was. It makes so much sense now haha

[@lychee_ice]

Mikasa showed empathy to Gabi. TO GABI. She did it at the point of the story when Gabi still called them devils, and directly called dead Sasha a dirty witch in Nicolo's restaurant. But to a dying, lost, mislead soul, who cherishes your bond with Eren, who understands how you feel, who followed your mistakes, she shows none. I won't accept any explanation for this. No "realization" makes sense for this. It would be more of a realization if she said something to Louise about it. Walking away with a blank expression makes it seems like you did not understand anything that happened and only have a thought of "My fucking scarf! Finally bitch!"

You mean you can't fall in love with someone who saved your life and gave you a home right? You guys are delusional

[@angelchavez4245]

If Mikasa was obsessed with Eren, she wouldn’t have been able to kill him. She simply loves him unconditionally, but she didn’t let her love for him hold her back from her duty to save humankind. That’s not obsession in anyway.

[@horrorbean1949]

Honestly it’s amazing 2 women chained to their love for their men yimir and mikasa and eren both is hurting and trying to free them both in his own warped way (eren constantly using the Titan powers and of course freeing yimir from that and then mikasa and protecting her while treating her coldly)

I WISH YOU COULD HAVE MENTIONED MIKASA FINALLY LEAVING THE SCARF BEHIND FOR HER TO EVEN GET, BECAUSE SHE WAS NEVER WITHOUT THE SCARF TIL SHE STARTED TO REALIZE REALITY OF EREN

[@OMGitsShrimp]

I think Louise was intended to be a mirror for Mikasa and a possible foreshadowing of what Mikasa’s fate will be in the story. Louise died still blindly devoting herself to someone who didn’t reciprocate in the same way. I suspect that could allude to how Mikasa could die later. Currently Mikasa’s main struggle is whether she can let their friends kill Eren and not step in and protect him. As of part 3 cour 1, she still has the scarf 🧣 so….. let’s just say she’s not inspiring much confidence in me over this at the moment 😅

[@bunchberry9957]

If that was Levi interacting with Louise, he would have not left her on her deathbed hating her. I'm almost certain he would have comforted her and possibly even given her his cravat. Amazing how Levi was seen as edgy in Season 1 and ends up being one of the kindest and selfless people in the entire series. Whilst Mikasa becomes really ruthless and having a heart of stone, all because she can't let go of Eren. She's a horribly written character.
