@official_avetetsuhaschosen to depict Mikasa’s season four appearanceafter the time jump. This part ofAttack on Titanrevealed the Survey Corps members' adult selves as they continued to battle against the man-eating Titans. The cosplayer is wearing a short, black wig, since 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 harness straps of the Scouts' ODM gear. Omni-directional mobility gear, shortened as ODM gear, allows the soldiers to swing around quickly while fighting Titans.

Mikasa Ackerman’s Scar and Beloved Red Scarf Appear in the Look

These Details Prove the Cosplayer Carefully Considered Mikasa’s Past When Designing the Look

The most pivotal aspect of the Mikasa cosplay that stands out the most is the heroine’s bright red scarf.This scarf is no simple and ordinary accessory, it holds deep emotional meaning in Mikasa’s heart. Eren gifted this scarf to Mikasa when the pair were very young, as Mikasa was reeling from the deaths of both of her parents. She was also struggling with the trauma everyone in Paradis was struggling with surrounding the bloodthirsty, murderous Titans, so Eren’s friendship and thoughtful gift provided her with much-needed comfort during one of the darkest times in her life thus far.

Attack on Titan’s Mikasa & Levi Aren’t Just Strong, They’re a Massive Series Mystery

Mikasa and Levi’s truly remarkable Ackerman powers in Attack on Titan remain largely a mystery, even years after the conclusion of the series.

Mikasa’s facial scar is also depicted in the cosplayusing makeup. She also received the scar from Eren, although unintentionally on his part. When Eren first became the Attack Titan, he struggled to handlehis Titan powers. This led him to lash out, and he accidentally harmed Mikasa and left her with a lifelong scar. This is a lesser known fact about Mikasa, so @official_avetetsu’s inclusion of this injury proves they really know everything about Mikasa’s past. In the cosplay images, they look magnificently heroic as they stare into the camera daringly and flawlessly showcase Mikasa’s trademark tough, courageous attitude.

She carries out her role as a soldier out of duty and with a desire to bring peace back, but she takes no pleasure in harming others.Mikasa is one ofAttack on Titan’smost heroic characterswho has faced tragic occurrences, and the cosplay captures who she is perfectly.
