‘Attack On Titan’ Foreshadows A Major Mikasa Battle

Attack on Titan may have put a bookmark on season three, but the anime won’t be gone for too long. When the show returns next spring, it will do so with one of the manga’s top arcs, and audiences got a taste of a major battle that is heading Mikasa’s way.

So, you’ve been warned! There will be spoilers for Attack on Titan season three below!

For fans who stuck around to the very end of the anime’s last episode, they will have noticed something strange in the credits. The ending theme got weird when it began to glitch, and the distortion turned into a full-on sizzle reel of season three teasers.

By the glitch’s end, fans were left with the short scene featuring Mikasa and Eren. The pair were seen in tears while a bloodied Levi stood between them in full military gear.

“You guys… Do you have the faintest clue what you’re doing,” the commanding officer bites out before landing a devastating hook on Eren. The sudden attack knocks the boy off balance, sending him flying. So, you can see why Mikasa takes the affront less than great.

With a shout of rage, the clip sees Mikasa charge Levi with her weapon drawn. An aerial move helps her take the soldier by surprise, and Mikasa ends the reel crouched over Levi with her sword at his throat.

For anime-only fans, the big reveal is a surprising one as Levi and Mikasa are usually on good terms. The commanding soldier may be antisocial at best, but Mikasa hasn’t been at odds with Levi for some time. However, it seems something big is going to go down in season three to change all that, and Mikasa won’t hesitate to kill her captain if called for.

Who do you think will come out the victor in this match up? Let me know in the comments or hit me up on Twitter @MeganPetersCB to talk all things comics and anime!

Attack on Titan was originally created by Hajime Isayama for Kodansha’s Bessatsu Shonen Magazine in 2009. The series has since been collected into 23 volumes as of 2017, and it’s set in a world where the last remnants of humanity live within a walled city in order to escape the danger of the Titans, a race of giants monsters that eats humans. The lead character, Eren Yeager, ends up joining the military with his two childhood friends Mikasa and Armin after the Titans break through the wall and attack his hometown.

Now Eren, Mikasa, and Armin must survive in a world where they not only have the Titans to fear, but the very humans they are trying to save. You can currently find the series streaming on Crunchyroll, Funimation, and Saturday nights on Adult Swim’s Toonami block.
