Attack on Titan Mikasa Ackerman went through unfathomable tragedies in the war between humans and Titans that shaped her as a person. She killed many humans and Titans, doing whatever was necessary to defend her home and loved ones. She is seen as one of the the toughest, most ruthless and experienced fighters in animeracking up countless deaths and fighting until the bitter end.
@official_avetetsu he has chosen to portray Mikasa’s appearance in the fourth season after the time jump. This part of Attack on Titan revealed the adult version of the Survey Corps members as they continued to fight the man-eating Titans. The cosplayer is wearing a short black wig, as Mikasa cut her hair much shorter as an adult, and it now falls above her shoulders. They are also wearing a black corset belt, a white button-down shirt, and the brown straps of the Boy Scouts’ ODM gear. Omnidirectional mobility equipment, abbreviated as ODM equipment, allows soldiers to move quickly while fighting Titans.
Mikasa Ackerman’s scar and beloved red scarf appear in the look
These details prove that the cosplayer carefully considered Mikasa’s background when designing the look.
The most important aspect of Mikasa’s cosplay that stands out the most is the heroine’s bright red scarf. This scarf is not a simple and common accessoryholds a deep emotional meaning in Mikasa’s heart. Eren gifted Mikasa this scarf when they were both very young, while Mikasa was recovering from the death of her parents. She was also struggling with the trauma everyone in Paradis was facing surrounding the bloodthirsty and murderous Titans, so Eren’s friendship and thoughtful gift provided her with much-needed comfort during one of the darkest moments of her life thus far.
Mikasa’s facial scar is also depicted in the cosplay wearing makeup. She also received Eren’s scar, although unintentionally on his part. When Eren became the Attack Titan, he struggled to deal with his Titan powers. This caused him to lash out and accidentally hurt Mikasa and scarred her for life. This is a lesser known fact about Mikasa, so @official_avetetsu’s inclusion of this injury proves that they really know everything about Mikasa’s past. In the cosplay images, they look magnificently heroic as they look at the camera boldly and perfectly showcase Mikasa’s trademark strong and courageous attitude.
Mikasa is dedicated to protecting those she loves and stopping the Titans
She does not like to harm others, but fights out of duty and a desire to restore peace.
Mikasa is fearless and is willing to sacrifice almost anything for others. She was the one who ended the life of Eren, the person she loved most, to ensure he didn’t destroy humanity. Mikasa may be an absolutely merciless killer, but she is not a cold person and feels very sorry for those she cares about. She plays her role as a soldier out of duty and with a desire to bring back peace, but takes no pleasure in harming others. Mikasa is one of Attack on Titan most heroic characters who faced tragic occurrences, and the cosplay captures who she is perfectly.
