Eren vs Mikasa and Armin
The moment when Eren hits Armin and upsets Mikasa is a surprising twist that deeply affects their friendship. This incident unfolds in episode 69 (or episode 13 of season 4 - part 1), titled "A Sound Argument." Eren and Armin discuss Mikasa's loyalty, with Armin suggesting that her strong attachment may be influenced by her Ackerman bloodline, making her more inclined to follow a "host" figure. Feeling frustrated and angry, Eren takes offense to this idea and physically attacks Armin.
This episode marks a stark departure from the tight bond shared by Eren, Armin, and Mikasa, highlighting the tension and conflict arising from their differing beliefs and the extreme circumstances they face. The incident underscores the strain on their friendship as they grapple with challenging situations and confrontations. However, we later realize that Eren's actions and words are all false, and that he actually thinks of his friends.
