Tropes and Themes

Pairings

Mikasa Ackerman/Eren Yeager (EreMika) - Mikasa and Eren are childhood best friends, and have a very strong bond that arose from Eren saving Mikasa from being kidnapped and trafficked by the men who killed her parents. Ever since that day, Mikasa has been very attached to Eren and very protective of him, even joining the Survey Corps for the sole purpose of wanting to protect Eren in anyway she can. Even though Eren has been rejecting and dismissive of her affection at times, she continues to care for him. The final chapters of the manga confirm they are both in love with each other, making this relationship canonical.

Mikasa Ackerman/Annie Leonhart (MikAni) - Mikasa and Annie become rivals during the training arc. Their animosity continues over the next arc until Annie is in the crystal. In the final arc, they work together as part of the alliance against the Founding Titan. It is the most popular yuri ship with Mikasa.

Mikasa Ackerman/Jean Kirstein (JeanKasa) - Jean and Mikasa met for the first time during cadet training, during which Jean was taken aback and flustered by her beauty, commenting on how beautiful her hair was. Throughout the series following that, Jean continues to display signs of affection towards Mikasa, including being visibly jealous of Eren whenever Mikasa is shown being close to him. Furthermore, in the Sudden Visitor OVA, Jean is shown sketching a picture of his "dream girl," which very closely resembles Mikasa. Though Jean and Mikasa had not met during the time of that scene, many people believe that Mikasa is Jean's dream girl due to the resemblance they share.

Reiner Braun/Mikasa Ackerman (ReiKasa) - rarepair - Mikasa and Reiner were often grouped together during training and placed first and second respectively at graduation. In the final arc, they work together as part of the alliance against the Founding Titan.
