Does Eren Yeager Die?

Yes, Eren Yeager dies in Attack on Titan. It was a heartbreaking event at the end of the manga and the anime that will give you goosebumps and make you cry for weeks.

The worst part is that Mikasa had to take Eren's life to give him what he truly wanted in life—freedom.

She beheaded Eren's Founding Titan to put an end to his life. It was a bittersweet moment, but Mikasa had to do it to free Eren for good and let him rest in peace. It's a shame that they didn't end up together, though.

Imagine living your life within the confines of the walls, not knowing what the future will be when tragedy strikes. Imagine what it feels like to sit and wait for your death to arrive.

With so much pain and trauma in Eren's heart, only he can truly comprehend his actions.

Does Mikasa Ackerman Die?

No, Mikasa did not die in Attack on Titan even after Eren Yeager died, despite popular belief that she would not survive a day without saying Eren's name or seeing his face. She died, however, of old age.

We all know how insane Mikasa can be when it comes to Eren, and it's impossible to predict what she'll do when he dies.

However, by the end of the manga and the anime, Mikasa forced herself to let him go to make him happy.

Letting go is difficult, but if you care about the person, you should be happy for them, right?

In the epilogue of Attack on Titan, Mikasa died, most likely of old age.

Does Armin Arlert Die?

No, Armin did not die even after he had a hand-to-hand fight with Eren in their titan forms. While he is not the better fighter, he can immobilize Eren, with the help of some friends, allowing Mikasa to take his head.

Armin, like Eren and Mikasa, had a difficult life throughout the series.

He was once a soft and fragile boy, but after witnessing the horrors of death, he transformed into a strong individual capable of leading the Scout Regiment and the Alliance to victory.

Does Levi Ackerman Die?

Thankfully, Levi Ackerman did not die in Attack on Titan, most likely because Hajime Isayama is concerned about the fangirls who will rally behind his final resting place.

I'm kidding, but we all know how everyone would react if the beloved captain followed Erwin Smith and Hange Zoe's footsteps.

Levi, on the other hand, is no longer the same person as a result of the Rumbling.

Of course, he no longer has to kill Titans, but his glory days are over. Because of his injuries, he was confined to a wheelchair and was cared for by Gabi and Falco.

In the final episode of the anime, Levi was seen hanging out with children while giving candies! He doesn't look the same, but his charisma will never fade!

Does Jean Kirstein Die?

Jean Kirstein, everyone's favorite horse-faced character, is still alive and well in Attack on Titan despite some close encounters during the Rumbling.

This is why fans believe he took advantage of the opportunity to court Mikasa, marry her, and start a family after Eren left the picture.

Jean's character development is one of the best in the series; from wimpy jerk to badass scout, all he did was help humanity, driven by his conscience and responsibility to his friends.

We all thought that Jean would kick the bucket after he became a titan, but fortunately, he survived after Eren's death.

Does Connie Springer Die?

Connie, Sasha's other half, lives in Attack on Titan! Even after becoming a titan alongside Jean, he managed to survive the rumbling!

Connie, like everyone else, had his share of traumatic events in his life. He discovered his village had been destroyed by titans, and he also witnessed the death of his best friend.

Fortunately, Connie's mother returns to her human form after the Power of the Titans is eliminated from the world.

Does Reiner Braun Die?

Reiner may appear suicidal, but in Attack on Titan, he is still alive. He had several episodes in which he attempted suicide due to his guilt, but it was not enough to bring a tough man down.

Even after being overwhelmed by Eren's Founding Titan powers, Reiner was able to survive thanks to Annie, Gabi, Falco, and the rest of the alliance.
