Please the only two characters who actually work together so well, is Annie and Eren...they have so much chemistry that it's impossible to realize that their characters and personalities, even though they may be from different worlds, they're actually pretty much the same.
They compliment each other, that it's adorable just watching these two sparing with one another.
however
If the writer didn't rush the manga at the beginning, and planned things out carefully using the first 40-50 chapters, working on character development...and had both Annie and Eren interact more, and learn from one another, AND CONNECT! Then they may have gotten closer, and had both Annie and Eren open up to each others company, there could have been something of a relationship that might have gotten interesting later.
Eren became Annie's first mutual friend, but also became the one person he and she could be opened with one another, and not hold back on their feelings! And sparing was their means of communication. Listen...Eren literally made the impossible happen...and by a compliment! He miraculously made Annie smile...do you know what that means to a girl? I've never had a girlfriend, but I know this! "Being Polite is so rare these days that it's often confused with flirting"! Annie finally felt appreciated knowing that someone accepted her as a human being...she finally started to feel like a girl. and Eren flattered her and showed a sense of mutual kindness/respect.
Yes Eren was fascinated by Annie's techniques, and Annie even offered to teach him some more, to which he gladly accepted! But relationship are built where there's sparks...and there definitely were some sparks....you could definitely feel the sexual tension between their sparring. And Eren also showed a sense of flattery by utilizing one of Annie's techniques when he floored Jean...did you see the look Annie had in her face? Annie probably thought, he was paying attention to me, and quickly Annie paid attention to Eren, and continued to converse with one another and their sparing became playful.
Annie was practically telling Eren to realise that she was a frail, and weak...and Annie used her body as a representation in their sparing. The keywords being "Frail" and "Weak" meant that though Annie was a girl she had feelings too! But despite Eren being dense headed, he still didn't know how to talk to girls, though they were sparing Annie was teaching Eren how to fight! Annie wasn't just teaching Eren how to fight...but to also how to read a girls emotions, and also how to talk to girls.
Yes Eren felt betrayed, but the first thing Eren should have done was go straight to her personally, and spoke to her himself! To hear the story from her point of view...before setting her up for an Ambush! And this was Eren's first mistake. Maybe Annie would have explained it to him of her situation and Eren would then make up his own mind...but he went along with the Ambush, and I can see that though he was preparing her for the fall...he was still fighting with his emotions to prove her innocence...and if he did care then Eren would have fought back to protest her innocence.
I love that Eren was the only one fighting to prove her innocence, albeit not comprehending the meaning behind her words...stating that she's only going through with this charade simply because she had an idiotic sense of humor...but ultimately despite betraying Annie a little...I believe he still cared for her!
If anything Eren, Mikasa and Armin set her up, and Annie felt betrayed and her feelings were hurt...if anything Annie was betrayed by the very people she put her trust on. Eren was filled with a horror of despair and disbelief, and guilt too, not having proving Annies innocence in proving everyone wrong about her. Eren said " There's still a chance you're an idiot, whose only going through with this because, you have a shitty sense of humor", "You can prove yourself just by going underground", "So come down here and prove it" still pleading to prove her innocent, but Annie knew she was sold out...Annie had to turn into her Titan form, or shw would have died in the moment of her capture.
After witnessing Annie's Titan form, and realizing the reality of the situation, he still harboured no Ill will, and after he finally turned and fought her, Eren still wanted to know why Annie did what she did.
Annie wanted to escape because they were going to kill her, and even after she was caught, having herself be encased in her crystal meant that, they wouldn't get through to her. After all at the end of the day...Annie was the one betrayed....and what hurt her most, was it was Eren that betrayed her even more. It's Erens turn to win her trust now, because I wouldn't trust him after offering him my techniques, train him, nurture him, educate him, respect him. I guess her father Leonhardt snr was right..."Even if the world turned on her and hated her, Annie would always know that her dad would always be by her side".
Annie probably didn't even mean to kill those she did, but had no choice but too, out of self defense...I mean you're being attacked from all sides...what are you supposed to do...huh?
Actually Eren caused more deaths the time he fought Annie in her Titan form in Trost...I mean did you see the look in Annie's face when she crashed through the church! Annie was horrified by the their deaths, and realised that she was in the centre of yet more innocent lives being taken.
Remember Annie never had a choice or a decision of what went on in her life, and was forced to go on a mission and capture Eren. The Survey Corps were in the way, she was just pushing them away to clear a path to get to Eren" But her size made it difficult, and her Titan form was there to put fear into them, so they would run away. But when attacked! Annie retaliated, and they would have killed her if she didn't. She was defending herself...and I bet you Annie never meant to kill them at all.... it's just her size made it difficult to maneuver in that enclosed space. Imagine running in her Titan form? Also why would Annie cry tears for no apparent reason? It took Levi by surprise to see that coming from the female Titan at the time...because crying is a form of guilty conscience and also a human characteristic.
Everyone makes mistakes so don't come out pointing out Annie's mistakes before these people point fingers at Annie, they should first look at the actions of others, and looked at themselves in the mirror...
She's not perfect, because she's flawed in her actions.
To tell you the truth none of what she did was her fault, and Annie doesn't deserve to have people torture her, and look at her as some sort of a monster...some of her actions may have come out as selfish, but most of her actions were all selfless. Annie deserves Peace damn it after all the hardship she had to endure in her life..I know she's not real but she's real to me and it means a lot to me that Annie finds peace, and I believe the only person who can offer her that peace is Eren...she so deserves someone who can show her some appreciation, compassion, serenity, Love above all else. You have no idea what it's like to be alone...and she's lonely! Oh great now my heart is stuck in my throat.
Annie knows what she is, but hates being what she is...she loathes being around Reiner and Bertholt, because being around them reminds her of what she is. And she is worth so much more...she even decided to keep quiet when Armin asked her for help to smuggle Eren out of the city...only to be manipulate by Armin into an organized ambush, to trap her underground. Mikasa is an overstatement in the department of hating Annie's guts...she hates her because she got beaten by Annie in their bout! But Mikasa is an arrogant and she's a selfish moron! She's the true cold hearted one, remember what she said to Historia...just as Mikasa was about to slice Ymir? She literally and practically said that she didn't even have a heart...and was willing to slice through Krista to get to Ymir.
Remember her saying how she grew tired of bored of talk...and was more than willing to rush to kill Annie, just to get it over and done with, without listening to her side of the story. Not to mention her "Fall" comment seemed like she was enjoying seeing people fall...at their expense.
Mikasa...Now that's the true face of a killer.
Mikasa arrogance and ignorant actions makes Azula from Avatar the last Aribender look like a saint...at least Azula had a conscience! |
