Attack on Titan cosplayer soars into action with perfect Mikasa Ackerman
Instagram: mariesturges / KodanshaAttack on Titan is one of the most popular anime series in the world, and one fan of the show has shown their incredible take on one of the most popular characters, the skilled soldier Mikasa Ackerman.
Attack on Titan follows main character Eren Yeager, a young man who lives inside the walls of the Shiganshina District after massive humanoid creatures known as Titans decimated the human race, pushing them to extinction and forcing them to seek refuge behind the giant walls that they hoped would keep the Titans at bay.
Brought together at a young age when Eren saved Mikasa from a gang of kidnappers, the pair lived together with the Yeager family until Titans attacked the walls and devastated the area. With Eren’s childhood dream of joining the Scout regiment at the forefront of his thoughts, Mikasa, who promised to protect him after he saved her life, joined the forces as well, and immediately cemented herself as a truly gifted soldier, and a fan-favorite too.
While Mikasa’s fellow Scouts find her cold or intimidating, the character became an instant hit with viewers around the world. Her undying love for Eren means she will do whatever it takes to protect him, and her skills with a blade make her undoubtedly one of the most entertaining soldiers to watch in combat, using her Omni-directional movement gear to soar above the massive beasts before slicing them down to earth in style.
It won’t shock anyone to find out that many fans of Attack on Titan then choose to cosplay as Mikasa, and cosplayer ‘mariesturges’ became the latest to show off their love for the character with an incredible take on Ackerman, who looks like she has jumped out of the anime and into real life.
Marie has captured the character in stunning detail, her hair parted into three separate strands, with her fringe hanging down onto her nose just like the character’s. Mikasa’s Scout regiment uniform is also spot on, with her red scarf draped around her neck, the same white pants with leg braces, and of course, the iconic brown jacket, emblazoned with the Scout’s logo, a set of blue and white wings known as “The Wings of Freedom.”
Attack on Titan has become one of the most popular anime series in the world, capturing the hearts of the global audience as they watch the human’s final stand against the vicious Titans.
Fans of the anime don’t have long to wait for the final chapter in this epic story, with the fourth season of the show set to release in Fall 2020.
