There shouldn’t be. But anyway their peaceful plan didn’t work because of no fault of their own, so they hard to do it. There’s no justification for it, they just needed to. Unlike eren, they were pushed into a corner here.

Ever since Eren hurt her she's been in the lowest moments of her life , full of chaos and incapability of doing anything so she vented her anger on all of the yeagerist

Louise took her beloved scarf so now other yeagerists are also guilty by association.

There's no justification. It's kill or be killed in her case, she needs to get rid of them otherwise they're going to use the Thunder Spears to sink their ship and they'll never stop the rumbling.

"Hesitate and there will be no stopping the rumbling"

well from my point of view she saved the rest of Jägerist guys by slaughtering the four other guys.

this and showering in their blood plus the "who wants to be next?" glare.

yeah i would run too.

and i mean it worked, she scared them away.

Ig it's pretty clear why she was killing them atleast?
And I assume your problem is that thunder spear scene?
It was a scare tactic(scare them other Jaegerists away to prevent even more bloodshed you can see yeagerists running aways after Mikasa's death glance.), plus couldn't leave thunder spears around
But i get if you think they went a little overboard with that scene...

‘

this is exemplified by mikasa. she is driven by the philosophy that the world is not only cruel, but also beautiful, and fights to WIN in order to preserve that beauty. this juxtaposes bertholt who was happy to go with the ‘flow’ because he was unable to see the beauty too.

this is why mikasa would be classed as ‘special’. even when protecting eren it was always due to her own feelings which often went against what eren actually wanted, hence this episode where she fights the symbolic extension of eren (the yeagerists literally worship him) is key

this episode highlights a lot of her growth implicitly. whether that be her bond with annie, fighting ‘eren’, or the idea of not hesitating. not hesitating is about accepting the responsibility of ones beliefs and acting on them, the culmination of her arc throughout.

she is emotional, she does feel the weight of her ‘sins’ (the overt imagery of the blood ‘staining’ her as the needs to pause in the middle of the conflict). she exemplifies pushing down emotions to stand by one’s beliefs, while still understanding the full weight of that.

Also,this summed it up perfectly

Her behavior has been utterly unacceptable. But I will forgive her when she turns to Eren's side when she meets him and they have a Berserk-like sex scene. Then she'll turn into Eren's guard and kills Annie. Good times <3

Not even that, she was only killing the Jaegerists because if she didn’t, her friends would probably die.

The crew is trying to stop Floch and prevent total annihilation of the outside world, which is definitely a justified stance imo. So, like good people they tried to find a non-violent solution. When that failed, they had to kill the people that opposed them, or else (essentially) the entire world would be killed.

That’s why Mikasa attacked the Jaegerists, not because Eren made her sad

Because she’s a girl boss. Her and jean also said if they hesitated they wouldn’t stop the rumbling. If your talking about the blood bomb she did that to finish the dude & she tried to scare ppl away. She didn’t want to kill them. It’s also you know a WAR it was kill or be killed. I also find it funny that no one is taking abt connie, jean, hange and levi but just mikasa they all killed some people in pretty brutal ways.

Did you forget the rest of the sence? She only did that to finish the dude and scare others away. The dude was not completely dead yet i think. They ran away after seeing her do that. She didn’t want to kill them so she scared them away.

I wouldn’t necessarily say it justifies her actions, but the way I see it, she did it for two reasons. First, to not leave any functioning thunderspears nearby. Second , and more importantly, to scare off the other Jaegerists. After that act and her glare, we can see soldiers running away, and she doesn’t pursue them.

Again, not saying it’s a justification, but the fact is that the act of blowing those two corpses up might have saved the lives of several more who would’ve otherwise attacked her.

Eren followed his future he saw in the Paths, which he didn’t really have a choice about, and Mikasa just straight up killed her own countrymen in the most bloodthirsty way possible. She blew up two guys who were already bleeding out, and created a kebab out of two others. Literally just going for doom glory kills with no regrets.

Do you think blowing up people who are slowly bleeding out is more “blood thirsty”? I think it’s more humane they wouldve slowly bled out the pain would’ve been unimaginable. With the “human skewer” I think she was only trying to kill as many people as she could asap. That’s just my opinion tho everyone has a different take

no, not really. Eren put himself in the corner himself he didn’t want to settle it peacefully, he never even tried to, nor did he consider it. Pretending like he did is simply wrong. Eren’s solution to all his problems have been violence. The alliance didn’t want to be in the corner they were put in. If it wasn’t for one slip up, they wouldn’t have had to kill anyone.

Your bias towards genocide is showing. I’ve simply stated the facts. You got mad. You also seem to be under the impression that I think eren is a bad character. When he’s not.

youre not stating facts refer to episode 9 and 10 Eren was the first person to speak out against the rumbling saying we should spend our time figuring out other options and in episode 10 Hange said that they didn’t want peace with Paradis because they wanted them to be the common enemy of the world as it brought them together and after years of nothing chanting no solutions and the world literally coming together to lead an assault on paradis only then did he choose violence as they chose violence first and didn’t want peace learn the story even hange admitted that their idealism caused Eren to resort to the rumbling

they have a reason it may not be a morally good reason but they had one and can’t pull the defense card when they put themselves in that position on purpose they could have just sat back but they chose to fight it’s not lol Ike floch or the jaegerists were actively hunting them down Jaegerists are objectively defending themselves from mass murder that would come if they fought or stood back

Lmao so you just gonna ignore how floch is going around blowing everyone head off? Or do I have to remind you how they killed the azumabito for no reason?

Nobody is in the right here, both party are wrong. Floch going around killing anybody who disagrees with the yeagerists is also morally wrong. Mikasa amd the squad wanting to stop a genocide is imo way better and if they have to slaughter some ppl on the way then be it

I don’t have time to argue so I’ll keep this brief. Eren’s genocidal behaviour wasn’t caused by anyone except himself because he was always like this. He wasn’t corrupted or manipulated, he always had this mindset. He was frustrated that nothing was being done, so he decided to take matters into his own hands. That’s all that happened. If paradis just acted faster he wouldn’t have the chance to ruin the chance of peace. Now there will be no peace. If eren wins, the fascistic government (Jaegarists) will cause conflict, and no one will be free, except the Jaegarists. And then we might as well be back to square one and war will break out again, in fact that’s what caused the alliance in the first place. If the alliance win, paradise will be destroyed. And either options outcome is all Eren’s doing. There is no good end. Everyone will be miserable no matter what. Good night.

Jean didn’t want to participate in the conflict, and Connie was literally crying when he had to kill Samuel and Daz. I’m not saying Mikasa should have kept her hands clean, I’m just saying her lack of reservations about killing her own countrymen was bad.

« If we hesitate we won’t be able to stop the rumbling » these were her words, mikasa has always been like that, even back in season 3 part 1 when she had to kill humans she didn’t hesitate one bit, she may not show it but I’m sure she is not happy about it. You all just have a problem cause she did that in a brutal way compared to the others
