Top 10 Best Attack On Titan Pairings
Here is a list of your favorite pairings in the popular series Shingeki no Kyojin, also known as Attack on Titan.I think Levi x Eren is really stupid. They show not one sign of being gay throughout the entire series. The two childhood friends/family (Mikasa and Eren) I think have the highest chance of ending up together later in the series.
From the scene when they were younger, when Eren wraps his red scarf around young Mikasa, they appear to be blushing as Mikasa comments on how warm it is. Later, when Eren recovers from the beating while he was tied to a pole at court in season two, Mikasa is shown waiting by Eren's side, holding the red scarf that was given to her way back when. Not to mention, Mikasa repeatedly says "Eren" throughout the series, almost as Sakura Haruno does to Sasuke Uchiha.
In the last episode of season two, "Scream", it shows how Mikasa slowly confesses her feelings toward Eren while moving closer to his face. But we still don't know where the ship is going to go due to the fact we don't know exactly how Eren feels about his adopted sister.
I think this ship is the most realistic in SnK. Levi acts differently around Hanji, and Isayama has mentioned that Levi is clumsy or awkward in love. Reflecting on this, I notice all the jokes he directs at Hanji and the hair grab scene. Also, look at chapter 90, where he is gazing at her, not at the ocean. Consider his expression when Hanji was injured, or when he learned she was alive.
This may seem like friendship, but the show is not about love. In the world of soldiers in SnK, they don't dwell on love. Love follows friendship because they meet others not to find love, but to make friends. Then, they fall in love.
Moreover, Levi struggles to express himself. Do you think he would act differently if he were with someone? No. He's not that type. As for Hanji, she has stated she doesn't know anyone who can deal with her. She doesn't act romantically because she doesn't believe someone would want her. So, please, if you dislike this ship because it's not overtly romantic, I've provided examples of why that is.
I primarily ship this because it was the first pairing I encountered, and it's adorable. I know Mikasa has sexual feelings for Eren, but he sees her more as a motherly figure. The creator hinted he 'might' illustrate a romantic scene between them. However, because Eren x Levi is so popular, he might depict that as well. In my view, it's charming.
I understand some believe age is important, but it's common in a gay relationship for one male to be significantly older than the other. This makes it perfect. I always find myself shipping my favorite character with the main character, and Levi is my favorite. It's not pedophilia since Eren is 18-19 at present. He joined at 15 and after three years of training, he would be 18-19. I ship it!
They're the only canon couple in AOT, and they were soulmates, tragic soulmates unfortunately. Ymir and Historia would die for each other, and it shows throughout season 2 up to Ymir leaving, sacrificing herself for the sake of protecting her. People think Historia only saw Ymir as a friend, but don't realize she doesn't know how to express her love for Ymir through words, only in actions because of her upbringing. But she loved her a lot.
If you read the manga, you'd realize that their love was not at all one-sided. Ymir wanted to marry her, for Christ's sake, and Historia didn't care if she betrayed the scouts. She wanted to be with Ymir and leave with her until the very end. They both are my comfort characters, and their relationship brings me comfort as a lesbian too.
Leaving out the fact that Marco's homosexuality has been confirmed, I think he is one of the most shippable AoT couples, both in terms of personal tastes and for theoretical reasons, based on the events of the anime and manga.
They immediately established a beautiful relationship. There is no denying it! After Marco's death, Jean, in addition to feeling shocked for having abandoned him when he was most needed, was particularly shaken. So much so that he let himself go to the pinnacle and promised the latter to give his all, in front of the bonfire of his bones.
They are adorable, and I find it very viable as a couple! I love them so much.
Isayama himself said that he isn't even sure that Levi was interested in women. However, his preferred type was someone tall. Erwin is one of the tallest in the scouts, so it makes sense. They also have an extremely interesting bond.
Seeing as in ACWNR, we see Levi give up on his past and choose to follow Erwin, even though his original plans included having Erwin killed. I think it really shows how much trust he puts into his commander, looking up to him as he does so. Without Erwin, many opportunities have been opened up to him. I think that's definitely the reason why, continuing after Erwin's death, he wanted to fulfill his promise to kill Zeke and his Titans.
Whether platonic or romantic, you cannot deny that these two share a bond with each other before Annie crystallized herself. Sure, Eren might have made her smile, but being told she's a good person probably meant a lot more to her. Similarly, being told he has guts despite his weakness meant something to Armin, who has low self-esteem. "Armin never cared about Annie"? Really? Then why did he desperately want to be wrong for once and wait an entire month to reveal her identity?
Annie, on the other hand, had multiple chances to kill him but never did. She spared him. She also cares about what he thinks of her. She knew Armin was lying about helping Eren escape and went anyway because she still wanted to be that good person for him.
If there's any ship that even stands a chance of becoming canon, I'd bet my money on Eremin. Not only is it Hajime Isayama's favorite ship out of the entire cast, despite being an underrated ship, but it has also been pointed out on several occasions in the manga how Armin is the closest to Eren. Armin is the person who has known Eren the longest and understands him more than anything.
Not to mention, their dream, the central idea around which Eren's world revolves, first originated with Armin. It is their shared desire which propels them to pull through the hell of everyday life. Even though currently, they are basically on opposite sides, I'm positive that they will reconcile. Because I don't think Eren, despite being cold and heartless as he is right now, can bring himself to kill his best friend of over ten years. Their unbreakable bond and the lack of hesitance to sacrifice their lives for each other already prove how special their relationship is. For me, if anyone is capable of loving Eren, despite all his flaws and mistakes, it's Armin.
This is simply a relationship of respect and trust. The scene with Petra's father and Levi showed that her father wanted Levi to know that she respected him very much and that he was worried if she was willing to put her life on the line. He meant that she is missing out on a lot, like marriage, and also that she is very young still.
That scene where he stole a badge, who knows for sure if it was her hand over there because her entire squad had the same bitten mark! And also, why Levi looked at Petra's corpse the longest was because hers had the most brutal positioning, other than the others, and also because hers was the last of Levi's squad members' dead bodies in order.
I don't mean to offend, but I love them as soldiers with respect for each other. Nothing else.
Okay, joking about "Sasha is with the food" or "Sasha x Potato" is not funny. I think the pairing with Connie is the most wonderful and truthful. From Connie's statement about Sasha's death: "Sasha and I were like twins. I feel like I've lost half of myself."
One can clearly understand the bond that bound them and the pain Connie feels for her loss. They complemented each other, always stood together, and I never saw them apart. They laughed and joked about things that only they understood. They truly understood each other. I'll stop here because otherwise, I'll cry. They were and will remain beautiful in my eyes.
The Newcomers
I love food as much as Sasha, if not more, so a man who can cook amazing food would be a plus for me.
Canon and perfect. That's all I need to say.
They're just cute. I rest my case.
I want a happy ending for Jean too, and since Mikasa doesn't appreciate him enough, I'm going to ship him with Pieck.
Reiner admitted he's gay, and his feelings for Bertholdt are definitely more than just close friends. He pretends to like Christa and Historia to gain trust from everyone in the 104th Cadets. Bertholdt and Reiner have been together longer than with anyone else. Plus, Bertholdt has feelings for him. He loves being protected by Reiner and is very dependent on him.
SPOILER: Bertholdt's last words were, "Annie! REINER!"
There's no way they were just friends. I don't know about y'all, but I don't lovingly talk to my best friend about returning home together. In the manga, the last thing shown in the montage before we see Reiner with the gun in his mouth is his final conversation with Bertholdt.
I love this ship because it has a lot of scenes, like in Season 1, I think, where they were in the supply base going to kill the remaining Titans. Sasha failed, but Mikasa helped her. Also, in the manga, they got drunk, and Mikasa and Sasha were sleeping on each other.
Just watch the anime and read the manga, and pay attention to Mikasa and Sasha whenever they are together.
I don't really see romance between them, but to be fair, they are so funny when they're together! I see them as huge besties, though.
I think she's better with Jean because Jean represents something new and different, offering new colors and hope, which is certainly a departure from what she has been receiving from Eren. She and Eren are impossible to be a couple due to Isayama's confirmation.
All the while, I've observed Mikasa treating Eren as if she is his mother, and Eren also regards her as a mother - caring, loving, and protective, though Eren sometimes gets annoyed that Mikasa is overly protective of him. On the other hand, Jean is jealous of Eren's closeness with Mikasa. I believe he deserves Mikasa. I'm sure he'll be a good lover to Mikasa, loving her in the way Eren does but in different ways and levels.
Honestly, this ship deserves way more attention, at least their friendship. It's so good. Jean really cares for and supports Armin, and Armin keeps saving Jean's life as if he's made it his life goal. Their moral conflicts and how they interlace are so interesting. Height differences.
Oh, and I feel like both of them caring for Eren in their own (very different) ways could be something that brings them closer too.
They are both really kind to each other and became very close in such a short amount of time. Armin protected Jean from the titan despite the fact that he was terrified. Jean comforted Armin after some man got weird with him and made him feel uncomfortable.
They weren't very close in the beginning, but they've bonded and become friends. They protect and believe in each other.
Armin x Krista is the best ship ever. I mean, Armin has shown quite an interest in Krista. In episode 18 of season 1, Armin refers to her as a goddess, and in episode 3 of season 2, he says that Krista is cute!
In episode 8 of season 2, when all the soldiers are preparing to go save Eren, Armin advises Krista not to go and to stay within the walls. This is so...uhh!
After the four-month time skip where Eren, Armin, and Jean were in some orphanage or something, Historia is yelling at some children. Armin smiles at her and says that people in the town have started calling her 'The Cattle Farming Goddess.' Hehehe. In my opinion, I think that Armin seems a little jealous when Historia stays with Eren. Watch episode 11 of season 3, and you will know.
I prefer this pairing much more than Petra x Levi. You can see there's much more going on between them, and it seems much more possible to me. Petra would certainly notice the amount of effort Oluo puts in for her.
Orupeto forever! They are married in heaven, and what's more? They died together! Oluo witnessed his girl die. Who can replace him? They are so cute together - the cutest bickering couple. It's canon!
I kind of ship them. Why did they have to die? Isayama stated that Petra and Oluo would have gotten married if he hadn't killed them off.
Annie, to me, is one of the few girls who have much interaction with Eren. Even their closeness is almost identical to Eren's closeness with Mikasa. Indeed, it has been confirmed that Eren has only a deep sense of respect for her, as well as her proximity to Mikasa, who is like a mother to him.
Remember, Eren was one of those people who had an interest in martial arts like Annie and asked her to teach him. He was also one of the few who made her smile. In fact, the person whom Eren thinks of as a mother (Mikasa), seems to believe in them. She even once asked Annie where he was during the Battle of Trost arc. When Eren learns that Annie is the Female Titan suspect, he cannot even afford to transform. He even feels shaken, and he cannot even hate her.
Unlike when he learns that Reiner and Bertholdt are also traitors like Annie, those who are close, and he thinks of Mikasa, who is like a mother, asks if he has any special feelings for her. Eren has never answered her question until now. However, when he fights with Reiner, he remembers Annie and the times they trained together, and uses the martial techniques she taught him. And I'm sure Annie would be proud of him when she saw Eren actually practicing the techniques she taught him when he fought against Reiner. I hope they'll be a couple at the end!
I really like it, and I feel like they are the kind of couple who understands each other.
One of the best duos in the world!
I hope that their beautifully growing relationship will not turn into flat nonsense in season 3. We all know that the director of the anime (anime, not manga) is a staunch Eremika shipper, so I'm sure he will do everything he can to destroy the Eren and Hisu ship. In the Uprising arc, Eren and Hisu had a lot of sweet interactions. Eren was the first person (after Ymir) who was able to fully understand Historia and cheer her up.
I don't remember Eren having this kind of relationship with Mikasa. I'm not trying to offend Eremika, but sometimes I get the feeling that people ship them because Mikasa is the leading female and Eren is the leading male.
I only like this ship for Bertholdt's hapless crush. It gives his character a bit of depth. But I suppose it's also helping Annie and Armin's relationship develop in the manga (subconscious influence and all).
To be honest, I am an Armin x Annie shipper, but I did have a split second of love thoughts between Bertholdt and Annie. However, there are way more clues of Armin x Annie.
I am honestly in a Titan-sized pickle. I don't know who I ship more, Armin x Annie or Bertholdt x Annie - I love both so much!
They work really well together, and this relationship has a chance to go through one of those beautiful hate-to-love transitions. It's not incest either, which is a big bonus, as in the guidebook it said that they could only be third cousins at the closest. Third cousins aren't considered closely related.
If you look in the manga and guidebook, it's obvious that Levi does care for her. Mikasa's imitation of Levi's combat techniques is cute too. I don't know, I just think this relationship could work really well.
Okay, first off, why wasn't this mentioned first? There's always a love-hate relationship between some people, and it always ends in love. Eren and Jean are constantly at each other's throats and are usually talking about each other. They're just trying to deny their feelings through hate. It would be really cool to see another homosexual relationship besides YumiKuri.
Personally, I think that Jean might've said he liked Mikasa just to get on Eren's nerves. They're always looking for a way to insult each other. I just think this one might end in romance.
Ereri's my OTP also, but that one was taken, so I wrote my other OTP. If you have an opinion about Eremika, Jeankasa, or Rivamika, stop right there. No.
They haven't really had much interaction, but they're similar in that they are both short, sweet, and blonde. They are the little cinnamon rolls in this show, to be honest.
Why don't they have more comments? They literally spend 98% of their time beside each other. They're always together on the battlefield, they have cute little nicknames, and (spoiler) did y'all see how heartbroken she was when he died and she never got to say goodbye?
These two deserved so much better than what they got, and I love them.
They understand each other so well, and their rivalry is so cute!
Especially their moment in the Lost Girls manga Volume 3 is adorable because Mikasa really understands Annie. And especially their AO3 fanfics are amazing!
