戦艦みかさを目の前に行われていた

ピースフェスティバル@三笠公園in横須賀

その日の夕暮れの空は特別だった

雲は海の向こうに渡り

色は刻々と移りかわり

うつくしい夕暮れの港で

舞踏仲間と踊った

風がわたしの手を取り

波音が身体を支える

月が見下ろす　戦艦みかさは

何か言いたげだ

戦う準備の愚かさか？

生を続ける尊さか、、、

海と空と雲と月と音楽

そして仲間への愛は

魂を揺らし　身体は動かされた

The event was held in front of Battleship Mikasa.

Peace Festival @ Mikasa Park in Yokosuka

The sky at dusk that day was special.

The clouds cross over to the other side of the sea

The colors change every moment

In the beautiful sunset at the port

I danced with my dance friends.

T.he wind takes my hand

The sound of waves supports the body

The moon overlooks the battleship Mikasa

It was trying to tell us something

Is it foolishness to prepare for battle?

The dignity of continuing life...

Sea, sky, clouds, moon, music

and love for friends

Shaking my soul, moving my body

Since 2001 takes place in Japan could you do platonic headcanons of a nerdy ready showing them Mikasa park? It's a park by the ocean that has a Pre-dreadnaught battleship, IJN Mikasa it's super cool!

(thank you so much for enabling me to write about my favorite show)

Sideburn sure does enjoy the park, but he isn't one for boats. Sports cars are more his type, but he'll let you tell him all about the IJN Mikasa if you'd like to. Cool things and places like these are what make him really love being on earth—and he's also happy at the fact that he has you around to show him all these cool things about your planet!

Gas Skunk loves little boats, and even while the IJN Mikasa isn't exactly little, he'd still love to see it! Not to mention that the park around it is also really nice and peaceful. He'd like to spend as much time as he could around there before an autobot inevitably comes around and blows him out of it.

My gf is going to Japan in January and recently I told her that she needs to go visit the Japanese Battleship Mikasa (a pre-dreadnought battleship that served as the flag ship for Vice Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō the Battle of Tsushima (May 27-28, 1905) during the Russo-Japanese war, and currently docked as a museum ship Yokosuka) and face time me so I can point at things and go “OOOH!”

[wylldebee]

So I've decided to give names to the unnamed Ackerman's because it's always annoyed me that Isayama couldn't be bothered to at least give Mikasa's parents names since I'm sure Mikasa would remember them. Anyway. Names under the cut.

Oskar Ackerman. Father, husband, unawakened. Hunter. Possibly means "deer friend". Literally choose it for that reason because I thought it'd be a little funny that a hunter would have name possible meaning that :3

Asahi Ackerman. Mother, wife. Part of the Paradis' Asian/Azumabito Clan. Like her daughter's name, her name is from a pre-dreadnought Japanese battleship.

Noah/Matthew Ackerman. Grandfather, great-grandfather. So there's actually a bit of backstory about why he has two names: Matthew is his birth name. He raised Kenny and Kuchel to the best of his abilities. When Kenny became a killer and Kuchel a prostitute in the Underground, he took it hard as a personal failure on his part and changed his name to Noah. He dies not knowing Kuchel basically named Levi after him. BONUS:

Jonatan Ackerman. Mikasa's little brother from Lost in the Cruel World and Attack on Titan: Lost Girls. German form of the name Jonathan.

First Next Last

Eye of the Storm

The storm had caught up to them in the night.

It came over them with thunder, raging waves and punishing winds, scaring Luigi half to death and making the human squeal more than once.

Nagara and Kongō had deployed their Klein Fields for them to take the brunt of the force, the light cruiser moving in the wake of her flagship in order to get through the sea more easily.

"Will Nagara be alright?", the human had huddled down in the back of Kongō's bridge with the cat and about five blankets, blinking out of their cocoon.

"She has shouldered worse."

"But she already got sunk once…"

Kongō uncrossed her arms, turned from the windows and sat down beside her passengers against the wall: "Storms don't use thanatonium."

Said passenger unfurled their arms from the layers of fabric like a little octopus and, in a moment of bravery, tugged Kongō inside, not letting her arm go even as they leaned against each other: "What's thanatonium?"

"The material we use to make corrosive torpedoes."

"It makes you people rust? That’s like rotting away while alive!", they, immediately understanding what the "corrosive" stood for, exclaimed, shocked.

Kongō didn’t do anything for a while, just stared.

If they put it like that, then thanatonium suddenly sounded really bad.

In an attempt to make the torpedoes less severe sounding (and against better judgement) Kongō blurted out: "That sounds more like a vibration warhead."

Even Luigi perked his head up now, eyes dark.

Why do you look angrier than them?

He didn't even know what corrosion was!

Kongō tugged the blankets tighter around them to busy herself: "Don't worry, they aren’t a threat anymore."

Not if Kamikage knew what was good for him, at least.

Still, the human didn't seem particularly comforted by that: "But that's still terrible…"

The other sighed and pulled them closer when a booming thunder made them jolt and Luigi disappear again: "Both weapons need to get through our Klein Field first."

"So nothing will happen to you?", they muttered, pressing against Kongō.

"Nothing will happen to me."

They inched even closer, absorbing what little warmth Kongō's Union Core naturally produced.

Did they believe her? Absolutely; they had almost as much confidence in her as the fast battleship in herself, but what if an accident occurred? What if she and Nagara got tricked? Or what if they got lured into a-

All thought processes stopped at once when a weight landed on the human's head for a minute.

Looking up, they could only see soft red eyes shimmering down at them and silky pale blonde.

Kongō's smile shifted a bit into an amused grin as a blush rose to the human's cheek: "D-did you just?!"

"Whatever do you mean? I merely stopped your rambling."

She knew exactly what they meant, of course.

They slumped forwards, face beat red and burying it in their hands while wailing, storm forgotten.

Some hours later, the sun had risen again, the storm subsided and all three could stay on the upper deck again while Nagara played in the water.

"So", the human cleared their throat, a light pink shimmer still on their cheeks, "since we're almost there, what are we going to search for?"

"Once more the answer is 'I don't know'."

Which, admittedly, was fair, because just like when they had found the piece of nanomaterial, they had absolutely zero useful clues.

"Though, since USS Arizona was preserved as memorial ship", before the rising sea levels snatched her like they did Mikasa, at least, "I thought about searching near her."

"The original one? Is that even useful?"

Kongō's long-suffering look returned and got directed at them.

"Right, 'I don't know', sorry sorry. Is that alright, though? Searching Arizona, I mean?"

"Why shouldn't it be?"

"W-well", they fidgeted, "I don't wanna disrupt anyone's eternal rest…"

It was in that moment that Kongō remembered how her surprisingly intelligent but also extremely confused human worked: "The only rest we might disturb is that of Arizona herself."

That's not good either…, they couldn't help but think, you truly are merciless…

Ignoring that thought, they clapped into their hands once and then beamed cheerfully: "Alright! I hope this is the last clue though – I'm kinda tired of this treasure hunt!"

Kongō was too, in all honesty. She didn't mind a bit of adventure then and now, but she also liked to get things down fast and this was decidedly not fast.

Click 

All three (Luigi was resting on the piano bench) looked over at Nagara.

"She says that she actually enjoyed this", the blonde translated.

Click click

"And that she will be sad when this is over."

"Eh!? Why are you sad, Nagara!?"

What followed was a very sad click.

"..."

The translation didn't come even after a few long moments of waiting, so the human worriedly looked at Kongō, moving to grasp a sleeve to get her attention when they saw her expression.

She wore that blank, slightly frowning, none-saying face she always equipped when putting serious thought in things or being troubled: "...She is of the opinion that you will leave us once we figured everything out."

"I would never! And neither would Lui!", they grabbed Kongō's hand and held it up so that Nagara could see it clear as day, "we cuddled last night, we're holding hands – some people would consider this practically married!"

Might as well go all out with that stupid ass crush, hm? Kongō was on a weirdly flirty trip anyway, so that might be their best chance to get this relationship rolling.

(Also, there wasn't really a home to return to at the moment…)

Nagara let out a cheery row of clicks, which just seemed to be a verbalization of her emotions without any concrete meaning. 

Kongō didn’t let go of their hand when the nerves got too bad and instead leaned closer to their ear to amusedly whisper: "Married?"

Ah, there was the blush again: "Uhm… uhm, I just said that because- w-what is with that sudden flirtiness anyway!?"

For the sake of their heart, Kongō leaned back again: "A character in a book I read recently used to say that, since you never know when it's over, you should be honest with your feelings at all times – so I'm trying a few things out."

"W-what are 'a few things'?"

She had the nerve to wink.

Ojō-sama!?

Mikasa's interview

ミカサはエレンにとってお母さんに近い存在

Mikasa is an existence close to a mother for Eren.

上京してからしばらく、繁華街にあるネットカフェで深夜のアルバイトをしていた時期がありました。深夜ですから、酔っ払いが大挙して押し寄せることも多くて、彼らの得体の知れなさや気持ち悪さはまさに恐怖で、「進撃の巨人」のストーリーにも大きな影響を与えています。

When I moved to Tokyo, I was working as a part-time job during late at night at an Internet café in the downtown area for a while. Since it was late at night, drunk people often rush into the cafe, and I found truly horrifying in their something unknown and discomfort, and that has a great influence/impact on the story of Attack on Titan.

実はその時に出会ったお客さんのひとりが、ミカサのモデルになっているんです。深夜に、ミカサのようにマフラーに顔をうずめた姿で、かわいらしい感じで現れた女性でした。来店した時に何か感じるものがあって、手元にあったメモ用紙にササッとスケッチを描いたんです。この時のスケッチが、ミカサの元絵になっています。

In fact, one of the customers I met at that time became a model for Mikasa. It was the woman who appeared in the middle of the night with her face buried in a scarf like Mikasa, and looking cute. When she came to the cafe, I felt something, so I quickly drew a sketch on the notepad I had on me. The sketch at that time is the original picture of Mikasa.

モデルになったそのお客さんは、まさにアジア系の東洋人、というか日本人だったのですが、ご存じの通り「進撃の巨人」は、エレンをはじめ多くのキャラクターたちが人種を明らかにしていません。唯一、ミカサだけが「東洋系」というように語られています。もちろん、ストーリー上の意味はあって、原作のマンガでもそれは次第に明らかなってきていますが、元はといえばモデルになった女性が日本人だったからミカサも東洋系になったんです（笑）。

The customer who became the model was an Asian Oriental, or rather actually Japanese, but as you know, in Attack on Titan, many of the characters, including Eren, do not reveal their race. Only Mikasa is described as "Oriental". Of course, it has a meaning in the story, and it is gradually becoming clearer in the original manga, but originally there was a Japanese woman who became the model, so Mikasa also became an Oriental. 😊

「ミカサ」という名前は、旧日本海軍の戦艦「三笠」からもらいました。「新世紀エヴァンゲリオン」の綾波レイ、「涼宮ハルヒの憂鬱」の長門有希など、「女性キャラの名前を戦艦からとると人気が出る」という伝説があったので、それに倣（なら）いました。ミカサの、ある面ではすごく無骨で、ある面ではけなげともいえる性格は、『ベルセルク』のヒロイン、キャスカからも影響を受けていると思います。描いた当時は意識していませんでしたが、「ミカサはキャスカに似ている」ということに、後になって気づきました。

The name “Mikasa” is named after the battleship Mikasa of Imperial Japanese navy.

Rei Ayanami from "Neon Genesis Evangelion" and Yuki Nagato from "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" had a legend/myth that "taking the woman’s name of a character from a battleship would make it popular", so I followed it. Mikasa's personality, that is very rugged/rough in some ways and courageous/brave in others, is also influenced by Casca, the heroine of “Berserk”. I wasn't aware of it when I was drawing it, but I later realized that Mikasa resembled Casca.

ヒロインというと、「男を立てる女性像」が一般的だと思います。でも、僕はあんまりそういった考えが好きじゃないんです。ミカサには、「そんな考え方をひっくり返してやりたい」という思いを込めたこところがあります。彼女が戦闘術に長けた強い女性になったのはそのせいです。実際には骨格や筋肉量の違いで、男女の力の差はありますが、それを普通にマンガで表現しても、面白いものにはならないと思っています。

I think that heroine is usually “a woman figure who takes a back seat to her man”. However, I don’t like that ideas. For Mikasa, I put the thoughts that “I want to turn the idea upside down”. That’s why she is good at battle with combat techniques and is a strong woman. Actually, the skeletal differences and mascle mass differences between men and women, do differ, but if I just normally describe that in manga, it wouldn’t be something interesting.

エレンにとって、ミカサは恋人というよりは、お母さんに近い存在です。母親の愛は尊いと言いますけれど、同時に“うざい”ものでもありますよね（笑）。いずれ、ちょうど母親に対するように、ミカサを切り離し遠ざけることがエレンの成長になる、そんなシーンを描くこともあるかもしれませんね。

For Eren, Mikasa is not a lover but more like a mother figure. It is said that mother’s love is so precious, but at the same time it is something “annoying”, right. 😊 Some time, I might draw that kind of scene, where separating from Mikasa helps Eren to grow, just as to his mother. 

Mikasa is rather not a lover but more like a mother figure to Eren. Does this make sense?

This is not to shit on anyone's ship or start ship wars. I just like to post translations.

If there are any spelling or grammatical errors, my friend doesn't speak fluent English.

A ship I've always wanted to visit, finally realized. The IJN Mikasa! Being able to board the ship to experience the history first hand is amazing. I have a lot more pictures, but these are some of my favorites. Hope you enjoy the pictures, and definitely visit her if you ever have the opportunity! #IJN #ImperialJapaneseNavy #Imperial #Japanese #Navy #Japan #PreDreadnought #Mikasa #Battleship #Warship #Battle #War #Ship #Boat #Yokosuka #MikasaPark #Memorial #Museum #Zulu #Flag #大日本帝国海軍 #三笠 #三笠公園 #軍艦 #戦艦 #横須賀 #日本 #本日天気晴朗なれども波高し #Z旗 https://www.instagram.com/p/B65tV1VH-if/?igshid=skfj3cau7nsq
