Currently everything in attack on titan is pointing at there not being any engame relationships and while I do hope for a little Eremin content I’m very adament on my opinion that the ship that is most likely to be canon is AruAni or falco and gabi

What Mikasa is seeing...

Armin's struggling in the penultimate physical head to head against Eren.

Reiner, Pieck & Annie are all on the verge of death getting mangled by their own blood, family and sworn brothers.

Everyone she cares about and loves are dying in front of her.

This is her Last Stand and she is the only one with full physical powers & a hardened resolve who is capable of saving everyone.

From the looks of it, Ymir has finally found the truest, purest meaning of life: love. Through Mikasa's pure, selfless action, persevering through the pain of her unattainable dream; of letting go, Ymir is finally fulfilled and at peace, apparent from the smile on her face. She is seeing that humanity deserves the life it's been given.

Mikasa chooses to sacrifice the person she loves the most to save humanity and the other people she also loves & cares about from dying - that is the True Ending & the final route that completes Ymir's story.

It was a tremendous price to pay but Ymir has finally seen the beauty in this cruel world through Mikasa's eyes.

EDIT: Mikasa seizes control and fought against the very same person she loves and who has influence over her will, dreams and desires. She did what Ymir wasn't able to do against the first King Fritz despite this tremendous power that she wields. Mikasa is truly free. Ymir is witnessing it. Apart from Armin, Ymir has also been observing Mikasa in 135 but this deserves its own post!

Allow this poor, unfortunate girl the panel she needs for her closure & the space to say her farewell to the person she has built a world for in her heart and in her mind for the last 10 years.

This is just painful. I’ve seen a lot of tv shows/movies with sad endings, this one just gutted me the most.

Let’s talk about Annie who has been wanting to reunite with her dad for nine years. Nine fucking years! She was so close and seeing that moment stolen away from her was just... I don’t have words for it.

Then we have Gabi. A twelve year old girl! She turned into a Titan at the age of TWELVE! This is a kid who had her childhood stripped away by fighting in wars and had her head filled with so much propaganda that damaged her whole perception. She grew past that and started to see the world differently. My only hope for her is that Reiner will let her eat him. After all, Gabi was supposed to inherit the Armored Titan until Falco started to work hard.

Connie killed me. The same thing that happens to him happened to his family. He saw it with his own eyes happened to his mom and we saw that even years later, he still wanted his mom back. For this to be Connie’s fate also, it’s such a tragedy. What is worse was that he immediately knew what was happening. He knew that his fate was going to be like his family before everyone else figured what’s going on.

My boy Jean. His fate hurts the most. Not only because I love him more than all the previously mentioned characters, but because we saw Jean dream of another life. He wanted to have a family and live a normal life. He was done being a scout. It was obvious that he wanted it a lot and it’s utterly sad that he never will get to. It’s hard to talk about him since his end is depressing.

As for Levi, Mikasa, Falco, Armin and Reiner, I don’t even know what to say about them. I guess I’m going to wait until the last chapter to talk about them.

the true antagonist of snk is isayama

Well Isayama did say that Eren and Armin won't be friends anymore by the end of the series :(

I am glad Mikasa got her closure with Eren, but what about Armin? 🥺

Won't he get to say goodbye to his face?

Armin and Reiner

ON POINT.
