MAJOR ATTACK ON TITAN ANIME + MANGA SPOILERS

mikasa:

due to the twists and turns that attack on titan provides, mikasa’s character arc is largely overlooked. “ereh” is one of the first things people think of when “mikasa” is brought up. but obviously, she is more than someone in love with that freedom obsessed conflicted idk i can go on and on guy.

mikasa represents pride, armin represents hope, eren represents freedom. i wrote about freedom before (i linked it at the bottom of this post), but what is pride? it is to feel a sense of satisfaction with themself.

mikasa is someone who values the relationships she has built throughout her life. in a world filled with disappointment and is stuck in a cycle of hate, mikasa ackerman is the ray of sunshine. nothing is stable; from households to government, to history, but to believe in the relationships between people is the only thing worth holding onto.

some may belittle her by saying she is simply like that because of her ackerman name. but can you do what she has done? can you continue to believe in someone who has disappointed you plenty?

mikasa is the beauty in this cruel world she was born in. i guess some people don’t understand that she was one of the first characters to be developed. she learned to live without eren in chapter 7.

“If I can't, then I'll just die. But if I win I live. Unless I fight, I cannot win” is the mentality of this character. she saved gabi, the person who killed one of her closest friends, being able to look beyond hatred, something the world cannot seem to let go of.

in the end, mikasa values her friends. she free of ymir’s curse never bound to the chains of revenge ymir embedded onto eren. she fights against the inevitable results of that revenge.

“i am strong!!” yes. strong-minded. strong-willed.

so how is her character going to come to an end?

mikasa will be the wings of freedom

"you should at least curse me at the end"

MAJOR JUJUTSU KAISEN MANGA SPOILERS

i've always wondered what that meant. getou was dying and told gojou that in volume 0. i understood the idea of cursing people, but why curse them during death?

but yesterday night i saw this tweet

and i realized that maybe people curse others with their last words. jujutsu sorcerer or not, curses are placed when the last words of a person are spoken.

in chapter 147, principal masamichi's last words are "it's a curse.. principal gakuganji. a curse from me.. to you." my first reaction to the chapter was confusion because didn't understand the purpose of it, how this chapter contributes to the story. but knowing that final words become a curse, maybe principal gakuganji's life from here on out will contribute to furthering the story.

at the start of jujutsu kaisen, we see yuji's grandfather dying. last words are "when it's your time to go, make sure you're surrounded by others. don't end up like me" in chapter 1. prior to saying that, his grandfather said, "you're a strong kid, so.. help people... just help them".

i'm not sure of the extend of a curse generated from last words, but i do think that concept is plausible in the story.

in real life, people's last words are constantly held in high account if that person is of any importance. taking that concept and putting it into the world of jujutsu kaisen is understandable.

also, yuta cursing rika after her death is another contribution to this claim.

in the end, people's last words during death or last words to someone dying generates a curse.

this realization just makes me like jujutsu kaisen even more. i started reading jujutsu kaisen when gojou's past arc was coming out weekly and was surprised of the thought put into the curse techniques. learning this makes me enjoy the underlying thought put into jjk more.

MAJOR ATTACK ON TITAN ANIME + MANGA SPOILERS

floch:

hatred, disgust, maybe even abhorrence are most of the reactions to floch forster’s character. and that is understandable. people hate floch because he wanted erwin to live, described erwin as a devil, and dissed armin. people hate floch because he didn’t understand what the scouts went through prior to him joining them. people hate floch because he is a yeagerist. people hate floch because he was the cause of hange’s death. and there is much more.

something i believe people don’t realize is that floch is a representation of the audience/reader.

rationally speaking, saving erwin is the obvious choice (at first), but throughout the series, armin’s character had been developed in front of our eyes. erwin is an established character, hence why people are more attached to armin.

after witnessing all of the deaths derived from erwin’s lead, floch grew to despise him, but he understands that erwin is the only person capable to lead.

bias. that is what a lot of attack on titan fans are. and what angers me is that they don’t notice that they are biased.

many proudly claimed that they are yeagerists and are for eren. they say that after three seasons of supporting eren, how are they supposed to hate him now? dude they’re literally floch kinnies.

from that reaction alone, floch embodies the general audience. at first they agree that erwin should be the one to live, then they are in support of eren despite him continuing the cycle of hate. honestly, people are so stupid.

floch provides an opposing view. and i admire him because he strongly believes that it serves a good purpose. he truly believes that working with eren and following his ideals will benefit the world. maybe he is right. but either way, i don’t agree.

even so, i think floch’s position in the story is highly important. without him, we wouldn’t be able to understand the opposing side, whether we agree with them or not.

floch’s character offers a different perspective. people are in support of the main characters because the story is following them. like gabi. people quickly hated on her but disregard the propaganda that has been shoved in her face since she is a child. we’re told that brushing our teeth twice a day is healthy, but then all of a sudden it is not. wouldn’t that confuse you because you’ve been told that brushing your teeth twice a day is healthy?

being open-minded will always be better than being stubborn. trying to understand floch’s point of view is understanding why the majority of the attack on titan fandom his terrible comprehension skills.

so why do people who agree with floch, hate him? they see a reflection of themselves and disapprove of it, but they don’t want to admit it to themselves that they are just as blind as floch forster.

sorry for dissing the fandom. AHAHA ! i just get really annoyed with like 75% of the fandom because they don’t understand the significance of a character, scene, or other aspects of the series. there is always a purpose for each character and moment.

i don’t love floch but i don't hate him. although i do think his character is vital to the story.
