“Shingeki no Kyojin”: Why did a “Gothic Mikasa” and “Nerd Armin” appear in chapter 78?

For reasons we already know, chapter 78 of “Shingeki no Kyojin” it blew our minds, both us and Eren Jaeger himself.

However, fortunately for us, ours can return to its position on the basis that all the doubts that have remained after seeing the episode are answered.

One of the most frequent questions are those that are directly related to the memories of the founding titan, that is, to all that visual bombardment that we witnessed once Zeke grabbed his brother’s head.

When the time came when we saw the animated memories, many of us didn’t know if we were watching the final chapters of “Evangelion” or “Attack on Titan” due to how weird, subjective and interpretable everything was.

One of the most curious images was that of a quite realistic and contemporary version of Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert, who appeared with gothic and nerdy looks, respectively.
