Sid Mikasa have an important story line that's been dropped for Attack on Titan?
What's up guys Foxen here! You got to enjoy hearing about Annie last time now
let's switch the spotlight to Mikasa! So recently I've been spending a lot of
time rereading the Attack on Titan manga but this time the original Japanese
version. This way I could discover little things here and there that were lost in
translation, Plus at the same time I get a chance to practice my Japanese but
anyway this is about Mikasa. There is this scene about her from the manga
right at the beginning. You might have even forgotten about it and if you only
seen the anime this should not look familiar. This was supposed to be what a
young Eren was dreaming about, see he loves his hot asian sister. This got
changed to Eren dreaming about some other stuff. Notice that in the anime
version it doesn't show Mikasa at all. Did this possible storyline for Mikasa
get dropped? Especially when you consider what they got replaced with instead. It
seems that the importance of whatever this means now excludes Mikasa. Without a
doubt this change is definitely important. Looking back at the original
manga shot this was released way back in 2010. It was almost without a doubt a
grown up Mikasa saying see you later to Eren. You can't really see anything
behind her it could be a room or perhaps it's just her backs against the giant
walls. Now as for what may have been lost in translation, here's an original
version. It's got the same shot of Mikasa. Here she's saying 'itterasshai'
"Eren". If you're a veteran anime watcher I'm sure you instantly know what this
means. The translation isn't necessarily wrong but there is something lost.
"itterasshai" is basically a goodbye you tell someone after leaving the house.
The person leaving usually says "itekimasu", this literally meaning I'm going
and coming back. The original line from this just makes have seen more clear it
shows that perhaps both of them are in some house somewhere and Eren is taking
off. Notice that there is a little more they got changed. After waking up Eren
also makes a comment about Mikasa hair getting longer this being a reference to
the dreamy just had. I'm sure you'll recall the Mikasa didn't
cut her hair until much later on compare this to the final anime version. Eren
instead is dreaming of the incoming Titans, no Mikasa anywhere in sight. Also
that line about Mikasa's hair getting longer has also disappeared, although
Eren is still notably crying when he wakes up no changes there.
Let me quickly mention a side note here, this dream is definitely not just a
dream. In either case Eren is seeing some events from the future but I'll
stop right here. This is a whole different video that I'll touch on later.
Back to the original question why did this scene from Mikasa that should be
important and get changed? You may have heard me mention it in the past, Mr.
isayama has mentioned before how he feels that the anime for Attack on
Titan, not the manga is the final product or version of Attack on titan. He feels
that the manga that he created is more like a guideline or blueprint for the
anemia's story. By the time of Episode one of attack on Titan the manga had already
gone way past chapter 40 which is season 2 territory. It's possible that an
important plot point related to this dream had not been fully decided on yet
when he first wrote this chapter. After all
Mr Isayama has mentioned that his top priority early on was making sure
that attack on Titan was not cancelled. As for Eren's original dream I do think
that Mikasa was originally going to serve this much bigger purpose for Eren,
and who knows. Mikasa could still be playing an
important role for Eren in the final attack on Titan arc. I got a feeling that
this is still going to be important and there is a good chance that this dream
sequence could happen later in the manga. Although it'll be much much later
but hey that's just an attack on Titan theory! Now let me hear from you, why do
you think the dream of the older Mikasa got changed? Is Mikasa no longer that
importing key for Eren? Or was it really simply due to story being an early
development? Please be sure give this a colossal thumbs up and subscribe!
Especially if you enjoy these attack on Titan videos. By the way I will be
talking about Eren's little dream in a future video so look forward to that!
