Who is Mikasa Ackerman? + List of Attack on Titan characters

Mikasa Ackerman is one of Attack on Titan’s most popular characters.

Is Mikasa Ackerman a Titan?

Because she is not a descendant of Eren’s race of people, Mikasa is unable to turn into a Titan. The Anime doesn’t explain this in detail, instead, it alludes to it. Mikasa is part of the aforementioned Ackerman and Asian clan, therefore, she cannot turn into Titan.

 

Who is Mikasa Ackerman?

Mikasa Ackerman is one of the two deuteragonists of the series, along with Armin Arlert.

After her parents were murdered by human traffickers, Mikasa was rescued by Eren Yeager and lived with him and his parents, Grisha and Carla, before the fall of Wall Maria.

She is the last descendant of the Shogun clan that stayed on Paradis Island, thereby related to the Azumabito family, and holds significant political power in Hizuru.

Though she desires only to live a peaceful life, Mikasa entered into the military—where she is considered the best soldier among the 104th Training Corps. She later enlists in the Survey Corps to follow and protect Eren, becoming one of its greatest assets. She is currently serving as an officer in the Corps.

 

The last episodes of “Attack on Titan” are finally here.

Part two of the final season premieres this Sunday, Jan. 9. American viewers can stream it on either Funimation, Crunchyroll or Hulu.

 

Watch ‘Attack On Titan’ Season 4 Part 2

Anime fans across the globe have been anticipating the release of Attack on Titan Season 4 Part 2 ever since the previous season ended at a cliffhanger.

The anime follows the journey of Eren Jaeger and his friends Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert who struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic world where humans are prey to giant humanoids called Titans. The anime based on the manga written by Hajime Isayama has been a fan favourite ever since its premiere in 2017 and had also been reaching rave reviews by critics for its dark theme, action, animation and more.

In Attack on Titan’s Season 4 Part 1, the soldiers of Paradis go to battle with their oppressor, Marley, to end the war between the Marleyans and the Eldians. The season ended with a cliffhanger and saw Eren going missing.

 

Mikasa Ackerman is Eren’s childhood friend who was taken in by his family

Though she was never officially adopted by the Jaeger family, she felt a strong sense of gratitude toward Eren’s parents, though she never thought of them as her own. After she was orphaned by slave traders, Eren saved her life and gave her her iconic scarf. A normally quiet and withdrawn girl, she maintains a stoic expression except when it comes to Eren and her friends.

As later revealed, Mikasa’s father was a descendant of an Eldian bloodline that was modified to create super soldiers equal to a Titan in strength. When under duress, these genetically inherited abilities may allow a descendant access to their ancestors’ battle experience. After Eren and his father discover The Ackermans’ deaths during a routine doctor’s visit, Eren tracks Mikasa to the trader’s cabin. Mikasa’s instincts are awakened when Eren urges her to ‘fight back and live’.

Because of this, and because of Eren’s kindness in giving her a black (dark red in the anime) scarf which Mikasa treasures and wears her entire life, she feels compelled to protect and follow him at all costs, including joining him in the Survey Corps. She graduates from the Training Corps top of her class, and is regarded by officers as an unprecedented genius and prodigy, easily worth a hundred men in battle.

Though technically half-blooded, she is the last known person of Asian descent residing in the Walls. A wrist tattoo inherited from her mother (which she keeps hidden from everyone except Eren) indicates that she is descended from the prominent Azumabito family (アズマビト家, Azumabito-ke), a cadet Shogun branch from the Oriental nation of Hizuru (ヒィズル, Hizuru), whose ancestors migrated from their native land to Paradis as honored ambassadors.

While investigating the Volunteers alongside the Survey Corps, Eren tells Mikasa that he has always hated her for being a slave to her Ackerman blood. In turn, she becomes despondent and removes the black scarf off her neck. While still invested in Eren, Mikasa decides to join the alliance to stop Eren’s planned genocide on the Marleyan enemies.
In the author’s blog, Isayama notes that her name comes from the Mikasa, a famous pre-dreadnought battleship of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
Mikasa is voiced by Yui Ishikawa in Japanese, and Trina Nishimura in English dub.

In the live-action film, she is portrayed by Kiko Mizuhara. Ishikawa says that Mikasa cares mainly about Eren, and keeps a distance from the rest of the world. She says that “While she might seem like a character with so few emotional levels, there are actually many feelings that swirl around her heart.”[GB p.20]

 

List of Attack on Titan characters

The Attack on Titan manga and anime series features an extensive cast of fictional characters created by Hajime Isayama.

The story is set in a world where humanity lives in cities surrounded by enormous walls; a defense against the Titans, gigantic humanoids that eat humans seemingly without reason.

The story initially centers on Eren Yeager with his childhood friends Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert, who join the military to fight the Titans after their home town is invaded and Eren’s mother is eaten. They are part of the 104th Training Corps, whose graduates assume different positions in the Military, including the Garrison Regiment, the Survey Corps and the Military Police Brigade. It is later revealed that the area where the Walls are located is called Paradis (パラディ, Paradi) and that it is the last territory of Eldia (エルディア, Erudia). There are other nations outside the walls, namely Marley (マーレ, Māre) which has infiltrated Paradis with its Titan Shifters.

Does Eren Love Mikasa In Attack On Titan?

For every protagonist in anime, there has always been a love interest. For Inuyasha, it was Kagome. In the Naruto series, it was Sakura, at least until Hinata finally confessed her love for the boy who would be Hokage. In Bleach, the romantic tension between Orihimie and Ichigo was undeniable, even if it was pretty one-sided on Orihime’s part.

In almost every shonen anime that features a main protagonist, you’ll more than likely find a love interest. Admittedly, there are a few exceptions to the rule, and Attack On Titan is one of them.
For a long time, fans were almost certain that the main hero, Eren Jaeger, and his comrade Mikasa Ackerman would get together by the end of Attack of Titan. Though it was obvious that Mikasa had feelings for Eren, the tragic hero never seemed to reciprocate that same affection.
Their dynamic is actually common in shonen anime, usually ending with the male protagonist realizing his love for the female protagonist near the end and the two finally becoming a couple just in time for a beautiful happy ending.

Then again, Attack On Titan has never been one of those happy stories, and its approach to relationships is just as tragic as the Titans killing half of the human population.

The relationship between Eren Yeager and Mikasa Ackerman has always been strained due to the constant threat of the Titans. In the beginning, Mikasa was simply the young daughter of the Ackermans⏤a family neighboring the Jaegers⏤who Eren had rescued from bandits who had killed Mikasa’s parents. With nowhere else to go, Mikasa stayed with the Jaeger family and built a somewhat brother-sister bond with Eren. After the attack on Wall Maria and the loss of Eren’s mother, Mikasa makes it her duty to stay by Eren’s side and protect him throughout the majority of the series.
