btw sorry for bein annoyin and over explaining this i just dont want you to be expecting levi to play into this whole azumabito thing cause he has nothin to do with it, its Mikasa's thing. or to think theres a plot here cause there really isnt.

yea its easy to miss stuff on a first view tbh but this one just stands out because you know, we already know the ackerman backstory from kenny and so on and no other ackerman looks asian like mikasa, not levi and certainly not kenny. so why would they now be japanese all of sudden lol. so yeah its another thing, mikasa is half ackerman and half azumabito, IE, half german half japanese, or the AoT world equivalent to that.

It's worth remembering how much Connie hates Zeke. He turned his family and town into titans. In the first episode of season 3 he says his main motivation is killing the beast titan. Most people forget by now because it's a bit of a gap. So Eren siding with Zeke over the crew is a huge betrayal for him on a personal level.

Just made that connection after reading this-- damn. Eren's character arc just makes too much damn sense.

Yeah i dont understande how their mind went there so quickly lol. I mean Mikasa is Asian, and her and her mother were rare for that. Levi and the Ackermans are Not Asian, otherwise it would have been pointed out sooner. And they even say that the clan's name is the "Azumabito" clan, why would there be a fantasy Japan clan named Ackerman lol? I know its your first time viewing guys but everyone who was reading the manga was able to pick that up immediately since u know, they are asian and mikasa is the Only asian within the walls. But yes Mikasa is a descendant of the shogun of Hizuru that got stranded on the walls on her mother's side and an Ackerman on her dad's, so shes double special. Honestly makes sense that two rare and persecuted people would prolly end up together too so its not that far-fetched.

"but the more intimate stuff is very rare" right like when eren said he didn't want any of them to inherit his titan cuz they were special to him and they all started blushing, u don't just \say\ embarrassing stuff like that out loud eren!

You guys are the only group of people I know where someone saying "Yeah, an upside-down cum-funnel" doesn't make me double-take at all. Like it wasn't event surprising that's where y'all went lmao.

yeah when it comes to anime, due to different cultural norms in japan sex and romance are just different. so you will have shows that have all the pervy, fanservicey stuff like you saw a bit of that on Overlord. Theres a lot of that in less serious animes, and yet still, something like a kiss, especially a casual kiss is like, not something you'd often see. They tend to save that for the very end of a show or at least a very long time. I think in the entire history of Dragon Ball, Goku kissed his wife once and it was obscured and not even canon to the manga. That was back in the 90's of course and things have change, but still you wont see much smooching in anime. Giant titties flopping everywhere and other weird shit yes but the more intimate stuff is very rare. Chainsaw Man, which yall will see soon, is kind of a norm breaker in that in does do all this stuff that other anime are too chaste to do.

I do wonder if anyone outside of mikasa knew that eren also laughed when Hannes died???
always gotta appreciate when misunderstandings don't get solved in anime @.@

You got confused right there. Ackermann =|= Azumabitos. Mikasas father was an Ackermann and her mother was an Asian. Which means Mikasa has two „special“ blood lines. Levi is only a Ackermann.
