Why Jeankasa isn’t a crackship and it might even be canon by the end of the series, a thread :
Jeankasa has been a known pairing in the fandom since season 1 in the anime, because of Jean’s crush on Mikasa. And what’s really cool about Jean’s crush for Mikasa is that it used to be for superficial reasons, but Jean’s crush developed in beautiful feelings of love and respect
But later you can definitely see how Jean admires Mikasa for her strength but also kindness and loyalty. I think he really gets her and really sees her for who she is. He liked her because she was a pretty girl but now he loves the badass side of her
and, while acknowledging how strong she is, he would still do anything to save her, like he did when they were chasing Reiner and Bert.
They obviously have a deep respect for each other and even if it’s the bare minimum in any pairing, I feel like not everyone shows the same kind of respect to her. I appreciate their friendship and believe it could develop to something different in the future
and they could do a lot of good to each other. Most people thought Jean didn’t like Mikasa anymore, well now with the dream it’s obvious that he still has deep feelings for her. And it’s so beautiful because he was really obvious with his crush in the early chapters
and now he’s being really low-key about it, because he doesn’t love her for her looks anymore but he genuinely feels something real and he loves the woman she is. That’s the kind of love Mikasa deserves. (Look how he’s always looking at her my heart is melting)
And while feeling this way for Mikasa, he still acknowledges what Eren is to her and he’s always reassuring her about him, and he always notices when she’s stressed and anxious about the situations and tries to be there for her. He never tries to take advantage of the situation
I definitely think Jean would do anything to make Mikasa happy and probably wishes her to be with Eren when this is over. That’s the kind of person Jean is and the way he’s been quiet about his feelings for Mikasa shows it, he innocently dreams about a future life with her
We don’t really know anything on Mikasa’s side, I wish we knew more about her thoughts because even though she was and still is in love with Eren, she has strong feelings of respect and affection for Jean, and she obviously doesn’t see him as more than a friend for now
but considering how things are at the moment, Jean would definitely be the best person for Mikasa in the future.
All ships and feelings aside, Eren needs more than therapy and is committing genocide, it would be really naive to think he would just happily go back to Mikasa

Eren will most likely die and even if Eremika is almost canon at this point, it doesn’t mean Jeankasa can’t be canon after another timeskip.
Ppl in the fandom don’t care enough about Jean, say his love is superificial, that he’s just jealous of Eren, etc.

Stop ignoring Jean’s feelings for the sake of your ship.
Jeankasa isn’t the most developed pairing in the series but, Isayama has never focused on the emotional and personal lives of the characters. If jeankasa is still relevant at this point of the manga, it’s for a reason.

At first Jean’s crush seemed to be funny but, Isayama made it develop into beautiful and real feelings of love, and it shouldn’t be dismissed nor ignored.
Sorry to anyone who will be offended by this, but the « Mikasa can only love Eren » take is bullshit. Especially if he dies

She might see him as a friend for now but feelings change and evolve. She might still see him as a friend after, who knows. But if they end up together, he wasn’t a second choice, you just love different people in your life and Eren happened to be her first love.
To conclude, Jean and Mikasa might die, but if the two of them stay alive, they might end up together after another timeskip. And to be honest, that’s what they both deserve.
