Attack on Titan: Shingeki no Kyojin

[Kraco]

Eren and Mikasa's flashback was jolly good. Such a psycho couple.

I reckon Mikasa is so strong partially because she keeps her head really cool, isn't afraid (except for Eren's safety) and doesn't hesitate. Fighting against these giants, the first attribute is quite essential, as we saw in the previous ep when Eren's squad was annihilated largely because Eren is always so hot-headed. It's not like most of the giants we have seen would have been overly intelligent. So, humans ought to use intelligence to defeat them. However, Eren threw such things to the wind and charged forward heedlessly. The first titan we saw Mikasa defeat was doing the exact same thing Eren did, and paid the price similarly when Mikasa disposed of it before it knew what hit it.

At the same time, Mikasa got some easy titans from what we saw. None of them jumped at her, slapped at her mid-flight or pulled her wires. The running abnormal completely ignored her shot to its neck.

True. But it was just another part of Eren's foolishness that he assumed all titans are trudging, dull eating machines. It's all up to luck, I guess, and it's fickle in the battlefield. For anybody wanting to survive for longer, it would be best not to count on it. Nothing says Eren wouldn't have encountered easier titans later, and similarly Mikasa might meet the tougher ones, yet all the same they would need to be ready to face and elimate them all.

Isn't inadequate training a part of that? They're trained to attack stationary wooden replacements that rotate at best. They try to surprise the trainees in the woods with rapid appearances, but they are completely unprepared about how fast a titan can move its limbs.

Which reminds me.

Where the fuck is Sasha?

Where the fuck is Sasha?

Probably outdoing Mikasa's kill count, considering the colossal titan smashed the box with the stolen meat in it along with everything else on the battlements. I bet she's pissed.
