I just see episode 11 and it surprised me that Eren attack Mikasa but with that I realized something Eren when it becomes Titan are dominated by his anger, the first time he turns he was angry against the Titans then his second transformation he had some anger against Mikasa so that's why he'll attack
maybe XD

So is Eren confirmed to be a Turkish name?
This Tumblr post that's been linked to death says it is, but it sounds to me it could just be a phonetic rendering of Ehren. But I'm not an Authority on All Things German, while the chick in that post sounds very confident. I haven't been able to find any other sources that would back her up though. |

For all we know, the author may actually think of Eren's (エレン) English romanization as Ellen, originally (Of course this is hyperbolic example, considering how he spells Levi as Rivai--i.e: how to read "Levi" in Leviathan. What is stopping him from actually using the non-usual spelling for エレン? ) And about whether the tumblr poster is completely correct or not in her naming source (No, Jan-Poo, not arguing with you~): Quote:
Think about it, how would you read Jaeger in English pronounciation? Definitely not the same as the Germanic way, no? The "J" is supposed to be spelled as "Y", and it phonetically is "Yeager". Assuming Chuck Yeager being the reference for Eren's surname is just that, an assumption. Same with Berthort (and 'Fubar' interpretation; yeah I know Hoover/Huber is the more correct counterpart as far as it goes), Jean, Annie and all the characters unless it is a blatant reference (say, Leonhart) P.S: May have gone a bit offtopic in thesecond part, ugh tired

Eren might go a bit far with his words, but he is not the only one to blame. Mikasa is far too overprotective. From our perspective it doesn't look like much, but for Eren, who had Mikasa near him all the time, her overprotectiveness simply became too much.

Mikasa is too clingy and treats him like a child that can't survive/do anything without her around. Of course Eren would be frustrated about her being like that. Not to mention that it can be embarrassing when she does that in public.

Point is, when you go into combat you risk not getting out. But they've both got their duties and Mikasa can't blow hers off just to stay with him, no matter how much she thinks he needs it. And he can't hide behind her skits either. He never said that. He said "I'm neither your little brother nor your son". What he means is that they're peers, not child and baby-sitter. Which is true. |

Yeah, but that was because he rushed into chasing after that Titan that ate Thomas and I think he thought he could save him if he got to him fast enough. When he actually takes the time think he can be capable. He still has room for growth in keeping his emotions in check and planning things out. But for now he will just take the reckless course of action every time. He could learn a thing or two from Armin.

You're disregarding Mikasa's priorities here. She doesn't give a rodent's rear about duty, being a good soldier, or the realities of combat. The only reason she enlisted is to minimize the inevitable risk Eren was going to be in. Plus she's just experienced the aftermath of Eren's death, it should be perfectly understandable that she's especially twitchy at the thought of him being on his own. It does hurt her relationship with Eren somewhat, of course. But right now she can't help it as her whole life and happiness is centered on his existence. It's unhealthy as heck, but it seems to be her way of coping. Quote:

He didn't almost die because a titan caught him (though he lost a leg). He almost died because he tried to save Armin. At the end he even made the right choice, because now both are saved, even if it was just luck.

But those very priorities are what make Eren's angry.
It's not like Eren doesn't know that those are Mikasa's priorities, but those are objectively wrong for a sworn soldier. Humanity doesn't expend its limited resources to train, feed and equip people so that they can later do whatever they want. Eren can't really approve of Mikasa ignoring her duties as a soldier to protect him. We have seen that when she wanted to be with him even if the orders were for her to protect the citizens. In the end Mikasa agreed, which means she can be reasoned with to a certain extent. So Eren keeps telling her to act more like a soldier and less like a mother, and if he didn't, Mikasa would probably become even worse and that would probably lead her to the court martial for insubordination or desertion (she's been quite close to that already).

You guys are arguing against something I didn't say. I get why Eren is angry and find his reaction both believable in general and in character for him.
What I was saying is that Mikasa definitely has her reasons to be overprotective. She's not some clingy girlfriend hanging onto a guy just to fulfill a stereotype, she's a damaged person with a human anchor that keeps running into danger. We get a whole host of reactions to trauma and long-term danger in this series - this happens to be Mikasa's. |
