Attack On Titan Love Language: How Characters Show Their Affection

When you think of Attack on Titan, love and affection are probably not the first words that come to your mind. But it doesn't mean that the characters of this world don't feel these things. And today we've decided to discuss the existing love languages and bring up some speculations.

Before discussing the characters' ways of affection, we shall start with the concept of love language. They say there are five love languages (i.e. ways a person expresses or receives love): words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. Let's take a look at some of the main Attack on Titan characters and try to analyze what their love looks like.

Both Ackermans seem very alike at first sight: both are always composed, reserved and show inhuman strength when it comes both to battle and social interactions. Despite that, it feels like their love language might differ.

Fans agree that the best way Mikasa is capable of showing her appreciation is through acts of service.

Her unwavering love for Eren is visible in everything she does: the girl is always there to protect him, she will bring him a blanket if he's feeling cold, and she even sacrificed her food for the boy when they were in a prison cell.

Levi, on the other hand, is a little bit more complex when it comes to showing affection. Fans speculate that his love language might be one of three: acts of service, words of affirmation, or quality time. He cares for Erwin deeply and will do anything for him not only because the older man is his superior, but because Levi actually wants to follow the man.

Speaking of words of affirmation, fans mention several occasions when Levi was capable of putting people's feelings at ease. For example, in Season 3 when Eren had a mental breakdown and stopped believing in his abilities, Levi was the one who got him focused and moving forward. Fans joke that quality time for Levi would be sitting in complete silence with a person he cares about while drinking tea, but it's still quality time, so it counts!

Eren's love language, as the fans believe, might be physical touch. The boy loves hugging people and patting them on their backs. Let's just remember him embracing Armin after his survival.

Moreover, the elimination method also drives us to the conclusion that physical touch is Eren's way of showing his feelings. He's never been good with words, hardly had any opportunities for quality time or receiving gifts, and serving someone seems like a weird thing when we're talking about Eren.

Armin has always been good with words, so fans naturally consider his love language to be the words of affirmation. He's very expressive with his feelings when it comes to the ones he cares about and we can all agree that seeing Armin having long conversations seems very natural.
