12/12/2023 0 Comments Anime bee sushi killer![]() ![]() Let’s see if the Twitterverse felt the OH HOLY CRAP #shingeki I felt like I was back in high school watching Code Geass for the first time which caught me off guard as it blindsided me with its twists. I wouldn’t have been able to appreciate the wrench that was thrown into the narrative this week that literally made me catch my breath. I am glad that I haven’t been following the Shingeki no Kyojin manga. That’s it for this week! How are you feeling about the sixth episode? Do you agree or disagree with the points made? Until next week! In a way, the passing of Eren is also the death of Mikasa. Eren was more than a function of her identity, but her entire reason to live. But her reasons were a bit more selfish than that. Before diving into her past, I believed that this was borne from Eren’s mothers last words. Mikasa continually reiterated to Eren that he needed to survive. She was a silent guardian, whose motherly qualities was a source of hope for our hero and the audience in a grim world and an unforgiving plot. Mikasa, who had been relevantly silent up until this point, was near and dear to many viewers including me. As quickly as he wove his way into the hearts of many viewers, he was snatched by a Titan and swallowed down its throat.īut this episode magnified the tragedy of Eren’s loss. I believed that his resolve granted him the invincibility granted to most shounen heroes, but I was gravely mistaken. As he grew, he sharpened his anger into a cold blade. Did Shingeki no Kyojin really kill off its main character? Sure he might have been annoying to begin with, but what little boy isn’t. That moment was so grippingly terrifying that I had to watch it over again to really let it sink in. The episode wouldn’t have had much of an impact if you knew before hand. I tried to avoid talking about Eren’s death last week. It’s exactly as Armin muses in the opening moments of this episode, this world has always been Pit in my stomach from the latest #shingekinokyojin Even young boys had the instruments to kill at their disposal. Through Mikasa’s memories we see how death was common place. But what of the times of peace? Humanity’s last domain was still a brutal place to live. So far we’ve only learned about the city between the walls in the context of the Titans. The flashback to Mikasa’s past also served as an important piece of world building. Mikasa feels indebted to him and his family. It explains why she’s so fixated on perserving Eren’s life. It was Eren who was the beacon of hope for Mikasa this entire time.He was the key to her survival. Essentially the roles have been reversed this entire time. Learning about her past changed all this. In fact her perfection made her the perfect foil for Eren, a broken boy who lacked everything but determination, a facet seemingly absent from Mikasa. Her drill sergeants described her as a genius found once in a lifetime. And what isn’t celestial about her? She’s beautiful, smart, and deadly. A goddess, if you will muse me, that would aid the hero in his quest for revenge. Until this episode, Mikasa was an unexplained coincidence in Eren’s life. Can’t wait to see next weeks Episode #shingeki But before I start crying, lets look at what some other people had to say about the Amazing Mikasa focused Episode of Attack on Titan. Our black haired beauty was finally given some backstory that threatened to bring me to tears. Instead it was an introspective look into Mikasa’s life. The sixth episode of Shingeki no Kyojin was not the filler I anticipated.
