Eren and Mikasa 's relationship has been complicated since the first episodes. Attack on Titan does not focus on the love story, so fans have to keep watching to find out the cleverly integrated details about the two's love. Although Eren continuously said hurtful things to Mikasa, his actions clearly proved that he had feelings for her. Join Hobiverse to analyze more closely the relationship of the two main characters of Shingeki no Kyojin.
Analyzing the feelings of the couple Eren and Mikasa
The two's love was foretold right from the first episodes, although many people believe that the feeling is more of a brotherly love than a romantic one. Even though he was only 9 years old, the moment Eren placed the scarf around Mikasa's neck was the day she fell in love with him. Simply because Eren is Mikasa's everything, she no longer has a family and Eren becomes the only savior, both friend and family.
The moment Eren put the scarf around Mikasa's neck was the day she fell in love with him
At that time, Eren cared for her, but when he used his power to attack the future of the world, he knew their love story would only bring tragedy. So no matter how deeply he felt for Mikasa, Eren still hid it, and even treated her quite rudely.
Eren calls Mikasa a slave, accusing her of lacking free will. He said that the only reason why she cared about him so much was because of the Ackerman blood running through her, and Mikasa's ability to protect him as a host was her innate instinct.
However, in chapter 130, Zeke revealed that although there are records of Ackermans awakening their power to protect their hosts, there is no evidence of such a thing to date. Eren is just trying to push Mikasa and his dear friends away to complete his mission.
His mission to destroy the world and turn his friends into heroes keeps him from being with Mikasa
The relationship between Eren and Mikasa must be that of enemies so she can mercilessly kill him to save the world. But no matter how cold he is, Mikasa's love for him remains unchanged, as deep as the way Ymir loves King Fritz.

The ending of the anime Attack on Titan
In the final part of the Attack on Titan anime, Eren told Armin about the feelings he had always hidden.
"Huh!? What? Mikasa will find another boy? I don't want that!!! I want her to remember me for the rest of her life... D-don't tell me to say that to her, Armin ."
"I really want her to live happily from the bottom of my heart...but damn it aaaa!!"
"I don't want to die!! I want to be with Mikasa and all of you!"
Unfortunately, Eren and Mikasa 's ending was as cruel as the way the world worked. Mikasa almost collapsed when the Survey Corps decided to kill Eren, but when she witnessed the consequences of Tremor and an Eren who had lost himself, she decided to exchange her love to save humanity.
Until her death, Mikasa still wore the scarf given to her by the person she loved deeply
Mikasa's decision saved everything, but Eren and Mikasa 's love also died from there. Mikasa buried Eren under the tree where he used to sleep as a child. She often came to keep him company even though she was extremely miserable. Until her death, Mikasa still wore the scarf that Eren gave her the day he saved her.
