Who is Eren‘s girlfriend?

As an avid Attack on Titan fan and content creator, one of the most common questions I see pop up among viewers is – just who exactly is Eren‘s girlfriend? With various female characters showing affection toward the hotheaded protagonist, Eren‘s love life tends to confuse viewers unfamiliar with this complex, action-packed series.

Based on insightful analysis of the plot and relationships portrayed, the character with the strongest claim to being Eren‘s romantic partner would have to be Mikasa Ackerman. Despite denying the suggestions of other characters, it is clear Mikasa harbors profound feelings of devotion toward Eren that transcend a typical crush or romance.

While Mikasa‘s bond with Eren runs deepest, other characters also vie for his affection at different points:

  • Annie Leonhart – Shows some hints of attraction in the lighthearted Attack on Titan Junior High spinoff series
  • Historia Reiss – Strategically bears Eren‘s child, but relationship is ambiguous
  • Jean Kirstein – Obviously harbors a one-sided crush on Mikasa instead

However, Eren remains mostly oblivious or indifferent to these potential love interests. His primary drive is to defeat enemies and gain freedom for himself and his people, leaving little room for romance to bloom.

This reaches a heartbreaking climax when Mikasa is forced to kill Eren to stop the Rumbling, then kisses his severed head afterward. Her immense grief and love for Eren is palpable in this tragic moment, surpassing typical romance.

Romance often takes a backseat to action, drama and deep personal struggles in Attack on Titan‘s complex plot. But one can argue Mikasa Ackerman fills the role of Eren‘s star-crossed lover more than any other character, even if their bond defies simple definitions. Their relationship transcends life and death in a profound way seldom matched in fiction.

Does this help provide some clarification on just who might deserve the title of "Eren‘s girlfriend"? Let me know if you need any more details! As both an anime expert and Attack on Titan superfan, I‘m always eager to dive deep into analysis of this intricately-written modern classic.
