I think what Eren said is not entirely true, even though it does make sense on some level. It could be, and ngl I wouldnt like it but, Mikasa is the one we've seen suffer from these headaches. Given, we haven't seen enough of Kenny, but Levi should have definitely shown signs of headaches and struggle every or some of the times he was unable to assist Erwin - the guy was in danger just about every scene so Levi should be comatose in that sense. I know he's older and more mature so he probably has a better hold on it but, still if it was a case of the Ackerbond I figure it'd still be there in some form but that dude is just about as relaxed as you could be. My theory is it only affects Mikasa because she lived with the family, activated the bond at a really early age, shares a connection with Eren by looking after him for so long, not to mention she feels a sense of gratitude like she professed at the end of season 2/chapter 50, and to top it all off I think its pretty safe to say she has feelings for him. Anyone would get a headache if someone that close were taken away from them the way Eren was constantly pulled from her. He was the last person she had, her family were killed and then the next family she got close to were killed again. The bond just enhanced that connection.

Plus, Hajime Isayama said himself their reason for protecting their counterparts have nothing to do with the bloodline itself, so theres that. But again, just my opinion, really hope they sort Eren's storyline out.
