Enthusiasts of “Attack on Titan” are still reminiscing about a pivotal flashback scene from Season 1, Episode 6, featuring Eren’s father and Mikasa. This episode initially premiered in Japanese in 2013, expanding the already vast manga readership into the anime phenomenon that it became. Despite the series’ time-traveling plot, it remains as relevant today, a decade later, demonstrating Hajime Isayama’s exceptional skill in subtle foreshadowing and attention to detail. Although the series wrapped up airing about a year ago in 2023, and not everyone was satisfied with its ending, the dedicated fanbase continues to engage in discussions, create art, and even produce a fan-made film.
Until Episode 6, viewers of “Attack on Titan” had only seen Mikasa Ackerman as Eren’s quietly protective and powerfully strong adopted sister with no background on how she came to live with the Yeagers. However, Episode 6 shed light on her past when Mikasa reflected on it, revealing that Grisha Yeager, Eren’s father, was once her family doctor before a young Mikasa was abducted by the murderers of her parents and eventually rescued by a similarly young Eren. This harrowing scene explained both Mikasa’s extraordinary bond with Eren and the source of her almost superhuman strength.
However, ten years down the line, a different aspect has piqued fans’ interest. In Season 3 Episode 21, Eren Kruger, the former Attack Titan, advises Grisha Yeager to fulfill his mission if he wishes to save Mikasa and Armin, before injecting him with Titan spinal fluid to pass on the Attack Titan. Since this event takes place years before either of them is even born, Reddit user u/krishm97 proposes that Grisha’s encounter with Mikasa in “Attack on Titan” may not have been a mere coincidence.
Attack on Titan Theory: Grisha Took His Son to Meet Mikasa Because of Eren Kruger’s Mission
It’s uncertain whether Grisha specifically recalled Kruger’s words, given Titan Shifters don’t immediately remember their transformation into Shifters. However, considering they can tap into the memories of previous inheritors and Grisha named his son after Kruger, there’s a strong possibility he did remember. If this is true, when Eren became friends with Armin, it might have been the first hint for Grisha that the Armin and Mikasa Kruger mentioned were significant to his son Eren.
Although it appears unusual for Grisha to have specifically searched for Mikasa in that area, if he possessed any knowledge about the Ackerman Clan, it would be logical for him to seek out their surviving members. This search would have eventually led him to Mikasa’s family in the farmlands of Wall Maria. Furthermore, since Mikasa and her mother were the only two Orientals living within the walls, Mikasa was an uncommon name, which could have increased Grisha’s likelihood of deducing that the Mikasa Kruger mentioned was indeed a member of the Ackerman Clan.
It’s likely that Grisha would have recognized Mikasa’s name even though their encounter was coincidental. This could be why he decided to introduce his difficult son, Eren, to her, as they shared nothing else in common except their age. Moreover, when he discovered Mikasa’s parents were deceased, he thought she might still be alive and inquired about her whereabouts from Eren. Upon hearing that Eren hadn’t spotted a young girl, Grisha promptly contacted the Military Police to investigate and presumably locate Mikasa.
However, Eren managed to reach Mikasa’s captors before anyone else, resulting in the death of two assailants and the activation of Mikasa’s Ackerman abilities so she could eliminate the third. Upon discovering this fact, Grisha Yeager expresses concern, but when he reprimands his son, a tearful Eren explains that he acted impulsively in an attempt to rescue her swiftly. This statement left Grisha taken aback, prompting him to turn his attention to Mikasa, inquiring if she recalls him from their past encounters when she was younger.
Fan Theory Suggests Grisha Took Mikasa in Because of Future Eren’s Memory
As he posed this question, it’s plausible that Grisha was recalling Kruger’s words and interpreting them differently following his son’s heartfelt concern for a girl he had never met before. This could have been the point at which “he grasped the significance of Kruger’s statement,” as u/krishm97 phrased it, and potentially started to understand that the one who instructed him to carry out his mission to protect Mikasa and Armin was a future version of Eren. And so when Eren gave Mikasa his scarf, Grisha extended an invitation for Mikasa to join his family.
Many fans of the anime “Attack on Titan” have come up with various theories after watching the series, and given its unique approach to time travel through shared consciousness, it’s likely that even more theories will emerge.
