So yeah, Eren or alone. You have well summarized the current situation of Eren and Mikasa gj. I am not saying it's impossible for Jean and Mikasa to end up together. Isayama can always surprise us. Had Isayama taken his time to develop this dynamic, when he still had time, like in Uprising or in Marley, or even in the flashback chapters in the beginning of the current arc, i would have given the Jean x Mikasa ship 100% chances of happening. But, Isayama chose to never focus on their relationship. And now it's probably too late. It certainly is too late if Isayama wants to do a good job. It is never late to screw things up. He recently said that the story ends in more or less a year. That means 11-15 chapters. More than likely 11. But even if we say 15, when there are so many things going on right now and with no prior foreshadowing to help, i can't see any way that this would be satisfying. I know i would be disappointed.

Mikasa and Jean becoming a couple, given the way their story has developed, would seem like a huge disservice to both of them as characters. More so for Mikasa and less so for Jean. I always saw Jean as the Keith in Mikasa's and Eren's Carla and Grisha. A reverse Nile Dawk to be exact. Nile, while initially wanting to become a member of the Survey Corps, eventually chose to go to the MPs, because he fell in love. Jean is the exact opposite. Jean wanted to enter the MPs to live an easy life and he wanted to be with Mikasa as well. Jean, however, has developed over time into a capable leader with a strong sense of duty, ready to inherit the mantle from Hange. Jean is the epitome of a person who gives up his ideal life for duty. Getting Mikasa is a huge slap to all that development.

As for Mikasa, i don't think i need to say much. People who believe that Mikasa's character development should be getting over being in love with Eren and fall in love with Jean, don't know jack about character development. In essence, what they are saying is that Mikasa's character development should be a change in love interest. That's it. A major disrespect of the most important female character and the deuteragonist of the series. Mikasa's character development is not going for the second best option, because Eren doesn't want her. Mikasa's character development revolves around having a healthier relationship with Eren, stop thinking only about him and living only for him, but having a life independent of him. Most of all, Mikasa's character is build on her surviving and moving on. We saw in Trost that she only kept fighting because she wanted to remember Eren. Her current development ensures that she will have other things worth living, after his inevitable death. Her child and her duty to rule Hizuru in order to create a more peaceful world and advocating for Eldian people's rights (which Hizuru doesn' want to do, but with Mikasa leading them it is entirely possible) can and possibly will be those things.

First my apology about my bad English, English is not my first language.

A. There is still a possibility that Mikasa dies in the end (I can see it happened even if I don't like it) but for now, let's ignore it.

B. About Eren and Mikasa you don't reference the theory of Eren is the fatter of Historia baby (not that I like this ship).

C. About the leader of Hizuru Mikasa, herself said why it will be a bad idea to goes Hizuru (chapter 111) even if she ends with Eren, in the end, I don't think she goes Hizuru Eren is still wanted and even if he will die (I hope he not) that not going to change.

About the end of the Manga when the writer said that the Manga will end in a year more or lost? (even if he said that I don't really think we need to take it as an absolute fact writer can give a date to the end of the story and in the end over it that happened in the past)

By the way, I enjoyed reading your opinion.
