Before the devastating Titans attacked, we’re given a clue as to how these soldiers would react to these bloodthirsty monsters.Įren, Armin, and Mikasa understood the horrors that the Titans would bring however, the training Cadets all showcased that fighting spirit a soldier should have (well, except Jean) until the Titans invaded and nearly every cadet minus a couple few, pulled an armadillo and accepted that death was near. The Titans (Season One Episode 8: I Can Hear His Heartbeat: The Struggle for Trost, Part 4)ĭuring all the commotion outside between the giant titans, the Cadets finally put their training to good use and outsmarted the behemoths. Not only that, but Mikasa’s tragic backstory and loyalty to Eren makes her a protagonist fans can easily root for. It took a while, but the meek young girl realized just how cruel the world is, and understood that she needed to be strong to survive.Īfter the holy s**t moment of Eren dying at the hands of a Titan, we’re instantly rooting for Mikasa because she appears to be the only one who can truly save humanity at this point.

The third thug manages to get a strong grip on Eren and at this moment, it was “kill or be killed” for both Eren and Mikasa. So, it was no surprise that Mikasa was able to knock out her first titan kill with ease, but her backstory is what instantly draws you closer to the elite soldier.ĭuring the flashback, we learn that her parents were killed by a bunch of thugs, and the first meeting between Eren and Mikasa happened because Jaeger decided to take the Judge Dredd route by executing the two thugs for their heinous actions. We get that she’s a badass since she ran off two goons without coming close to breaking a sweat, along with her easy rise in the Cadet Corps. When we first meet Mikasa, we don’t get much insight into her backstory. This wasn’t truly a “fight” per see, but people were stabbed, lives were lost, and most importantly, a strong character moment took place that makes it worthy of being put on the list. Three Thugs (Season One Episode 6: The World The Girl Saw/The Struggles) Eren appeared to be the white knight that would save the day, so when the elite soldier was eaten after saving his friend, Armin, my spine hit my throat and I couldn’t move for a minute following the bold choice to kill the lead protagonist.īy now, you know that Eren isn’t dead and has the ability of a Titan, but the shocking move created a sense of unpredictability about the series, and it also gave us a chance to bond with the other main characters. Even though this was only the fifth episode, the journey of Jaegar was filled with a tragedy that many hoped turned to redemption. Of course, this moment made the shocking death of Eren later heartbreaking. The brief encounter also continued to prove how much of a threat the Titans were, as Eren seemed to be on the verge of killing the Colossal until the giant pulled a Houdini and disappeared. The brief encounter showcased how far along Eren has come since he arrived at the Cadet Corps five years earlier.

This scene proved how much of a badass Eren is, as he was the only soldier that wasn’t pissing in his pants when it comes to fighting a Titan. While the Colossal Titan wasn’t the one who murdered his mother, the intelligent giant was the mastermind behind the attack of Shiganshina. This one wasn’t much of a battle however, it was simply cool to see Eren finally take on one of the Titans, especially the boss.
