Anime Mikasa And Eren Kiss. Replace Levi with another character make him kiss Mikasa. The source material itself has long played this relationship as tragically one-sided to the point that the Season 2 finale of the anime had Eren somehow miss Mikasas painfully obvious attempt at a pre-certain-death kiss.
It was a tragic ending to a tragic love story. To see Mikasa who had risked her life multiple times to save Eren in the past kill him was heart wrenching. Though readers may be disappointed that Eren and Mikasa dont get a proper reunion Eren does finally make his true feelings about his adopted sister clear to Armin in the final chapter.
This is the story of the saddest ship in anime.
So he thought if he saved her he was basically saying he felt the same towards her. Protagonists -- or rather protagonist and protagonist-turned-antagonist -- who have been locked in on two opposing sides of a desperate. A first kiss and a final good-bye. To see Mikasa who had risked her life multiple times to save Eren in the past kill him was heart wrenching.
