1. At first Eren and Mikasa was shown to be separated, it was Eren’s choice due to him saw his future memories of his fate and what he must do in order to protect Mikasa, Armin and everyone else. Eren was not adjusted to contact his friends yet, until the boy from marley talked.
2. That boy’s name was Falco. He helped Eren who was “fake” injured at the time. In this particular scene it was subtly implied that Eren probably saw something within Falco(probably his future?).
3. Furthermore, the author uses the reference of home for Eren, to portray Eren can’t face Mikasa, which he feels he can’t tell them his problems as he doesn’t want to burden Mikasa with his destined fate. Eren makes the assumption that the girl was a talented candidate.
In this scene, they’re talking about the “Talented girl” who made Falco wanted to become a warrior so he could protect her. Eren, who brings up the topic “Talented girl” probably reminds him of someone he knew. The girl that’s talented and strong and top of her class, Mikasa.
5. Furthermore, the author uses the reference of home for Eren, to portray Mikasa is the only home Eren has. This connotes Eren’s thinks about Mikasa , which shows how his state of mind and how he can’t let go of his old memories of Mikasa.
6. From this we can infer the we can see it clearly too that Falco and Gabi represents Eren and Mikasa. Mikasa joined the Survey Corps was to protect Eren. Falco became a warrior to protect Gabi.
7. Ok the other hand, Eren joined the Survey Corps to get revenge to the titans(Marley now), and Gabi joined the warriors to get revenge to Paradis. And also MikaFalco shares the same birthday, while EreGabi shared the same horoscope.
8. Also, we see Eren is going along with his plan of the Rumbling. This shows Eren’s willingness and his lost of hope to put everyone behind him, and do this alone, due to the fact he doesn’t want to hurt his friends and Mikasa.
9. The next instance, is where Eren is in trouble, as the war hammer titan appears and destroys Eren in his titan form. But, Eren senses Mikasa presence, where he states “Do it now Mikasa”, this portrays Mikasa will always come to save Eren, in his despair.
10. Eventually, Mikasa approaches Eren and tells him to “ please come home”, which shows Mikasa refers to Eren as her home, the reference has been made from Mikasa, to portray how much she cares and wants Eren to come back to her.
11. Secondly, Mikasa tells him what he has done is wrong and he has killed civilians. Even floch said Eren is the “devil”, in which Eren embraced. This further proves how Eren has to succumb to his fate, in which something he didn’t want to do. Eren’s character didn’t break.
12. Until, Eren saw Mikasa’s face, which shattered his emotions, as Mikasa was on the verge of tears, this broke Eren’s charcter as he couldn’t bare to see in her tears, in which showed Mikasa still means everything to him.
13. In addition, Eren looks at everyone seriously, but when it comes to Mikasa, his eyes change to a more soft gaze, as it shows his feelings for Mikasa haven’t changed, he still loves her and shows how important Mikasa is to him. Also, he shows his emotions to Mikasa.
14.Even when Eren was being detained for his actions in Liberio, Mikasa and Eren still use the same words that was used in the cabin by Eren. There is a parallel as it shows how connected they are to each other, as they use it for motivation and determination to moving forward.
15. Later on, we see a flashback of where the scouts meet the Hizuru family, where it’s revealed that Mikasa was related to them, through the mark. It also was revealed that Mikasa showed only Eren, about this secret.
16. Eventually, Historia teases Mikasa about it, this portrays the sense of trust that has been built up, as Mikasa only reveals her secrets to Eren, In which Eren kept as a secret.
17. The next instance, where Connie says “we need to kill Eren”, but Mikasa quickly shuts down the idea of killing Eren, by saying “I won’t allow something like that to happen”, it portrays Mikasa still has trust in Eren and everything he is doing is for her and his friends.
18. Furthermore, it shows Mikasa wouldn’t accept killing Eren as part of the solution. This solidifies her deep feelings for Eren, as she would do anything to bring him back by her side.
19. In addition, It shows the development of their bond, since the start that they would always try to save each other, no matter the cost. Eventually, we see a flashback of Eren saying that “you guys are more important to me more than everyone else”.
20. From this we can infer, that Eren does care about his friends and Mikasa. But, there is a shift in focus where the panel focuses on Eren and Mikasa blushing at each other. This portrays, Eren is thinking most about Mikasa, as he has started to develop feelings for her.
21. Lastly, it shows Eren’s development throughout, as he had always taken Mikasa protection for granted, until he realised he must do more for her, and protect her at all cost. Eventually, Mikasa became the most important person to him, and in which he has become fond of her.
