The devastating consequences of Eren Jaeger’s actions led to a new phase of the war attack on Titan and as the various diplomatic and military forces try to react, internal conflicts within factions begin to arise, even between characters who for a moment seem to have lost their values ββand ideals.
Unleash the rumbling, the march of the Colossal Giants across the world to ensure the future of the population within the Walls and to exterminate anyone who does not have Eldian blood, has worsened the already precarious situation of various characters. From Falco and Connie’s estrangement, which she wants to use to make his mother human again, to theTightening of relations between non-extremist soldiers and staunch Jaegeristsit also led to a heated discussion between Armin and Mikasa.
The two protagonists in the 4×23 episode were deeply shaken by the destruction and massacre plan initiated by Eren plagued by doubts and uncertaintiesculminating in an exchange of views analyzed by the passionate @ButcherOfVelen in a series of posts that you can find below. As specified by the user, Armin has to take care of them burden of survival in Erwin’s placeMikasa faces an identity crisis.
Armin feels unsupported and is overcome by guilt and inferiority complexes. This does not allow him to rely on understanding and knowledge, and the coldness of the usual reasoning comes the emotion that stems from the unexpected and devastating situation created by Eren. Both protagonists appear tired and vulnerable, and while their bond doesn’t seem the least bit affected by this confrontation, it could prove crucial in interacting with Eren.
Finally, we leave you with an analysis of the politics inserted into the work by Isayama.
The real point of this scene was to portray Armin & Mikasa’s state of mind as the next person they just announced that he is about to commit genocide on a scale never seen before. This is the lowest point both characters have ever reached in their lives. 1/8 pic.twitter.com/2juk0VdCRe
