meaning they would have had to slept with eldians over the years to remain not imbred If I could throw my two cents in:

Yes, Mikasa could have Eldian blood in her veins which would allow her to become a Titan, but we do not know for certain. Right now, all we know that the Ackerman bloodline is strong and different than others. Plus, she's also part Asian. As we saw with Onyankophon and Yelena (and discussed by a few of the admins), someone who's a different ethnic race or originated from a nation besides Paradis or Marley would not able to use a Titan power; I imagine it would be the same regardless if they are mixed race or whole. Jean also brought both of these topics up in the most recent issue as reasons why she could not be chosen as a successor for Eren.

And honestly, I don't think Mikasa needs to become a Titan-shifter; we have so many main characters already that either currently are (were, or groomed to become) one.
