Hajime Isayama and Mikasa Ackerman😉
--A Thread!--
This is from an interview in 2015
The name "Mikasa" was actually from a Japanese battleship named "三笠". Because there was a legend where if you named your character after a battleship, it would become popular just like "Ayanami Rei" from Neon Genesis Evangelion and "Nagato Yuuki" from
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and i got influenced by that.
She has that personality when there are times she showed her harsh/blunt side but there's times where she also showed how admirable she is, and that i was influenced too by Bersek's "Casca". Well i didn't+
purposedly drew her similar to Casca actually. An then "Ah, Mikasa was similar to Casca," i just came to realized it after a while.
If you're talking about Heroine, the term 「男を立てる女性像」{Which means, a female figure who only can increase the self-esteem of the male and following them around so it would not hurt the male's position (as a man), his pride, and his strengths} is the general meaning of it+
And i don't really like that way of thinking. Mikasa is the character that i've made as "The Character who overturned that way of thinking". That's why i made her to be the kind of girl who excels in combat skills. Well, in reality, there's a difference between the build+
and muscles between a male and female, but i don't think it would be interesting if it's based on reality.
For Eren, Mikasa is close to a mother figure for him, rather than a lover. A mother's love is very precious but at the same time is kind of annoying sometimes, right? (lol). Well eventually, just like a mother, there are times where Eren and Mikasa will be seperated+
And that is the times where Eren will have his development, probably i will draw that kind of scene someday in the future.
(Well yams already did)
Y'know it's really weird that people outside of Japan often only highlighted and spread out "MIKASA IS A MOTHER FIGURE"
Like tf if you want to share infos, don't be half-assed :)
Have an nice day!
Thankyou for reading 🥰
