Rivamika details we haven’t talked about enough - part 2

Idk why we haven’t talked about the parallel between Kenny & Caven duo and Levi and Mikasa?

Caven is one of the few people who was close to Kenny Ackerman, apart from Uri, Kuchel and then Levi. It's also important to note that the first time Kenny and Caven interacted, Caven also took Kenny by surprise. It was her indifference towards a serial killer who was now qualified to lead their squad, this reminds me of mikasa's indifference towards,, everything that doesn't concern Eren tbh. But it's not only that it's the fact that Kenny was "intrigued" by her and came close to her to talk.

And this

From this scene alone it was obvious that she served as his partner in crime, of course Kenny had many men but it was cavens significance that was highlighted from the rest in both the manga and the anime ( in their own ways).

And as of Levi and mikasa's role in battle needs any kind of explaining that wasn't already made clear. Of course Caven and Kenny's partnership didn't go as deep as rivamika for obvious reasons.

This next parallel I have more faith in lmao.

Hitch and Marlo

I always found it very weirdly interesting how these two were introduced to in this episode. I wouldn't have guess them having any romantic connection if it weren't for the oddly placed flirtatious dialogues

Well obviously they were playing around and Marlo disregarded her quickly. But because of the those few lines is why they are shipped together isn't it? It was unnecessary and yet it was there. And that brings me to this

Isayama visually placed these 2 pairs on to each other. It couldn't be more obvious, however I believe it has more to do with than just holding the knife to the throats of their respective person. Like I said if it weren't for the ever so subtle hint of romantic undertone in hitches lines I wouldn't have thought about this at all. But how this parallel is making me think it was a hint from isayama about rivamika relationship. And notice how Armin is placed straight in the middle as well. Didn't we all, as rivamika community, speculate that admin is a rivamika shipper? Because he has always noticed their similar presence, trusted in their strength as not only individuals but as A PAIR. and isayama definitely does not forget to make it known that Levi and Mikasa are being watched by Armin.

Idk about you but to me it seems a little suspicious how those two were placed as a pair on top of another pair with plausible feelings for each other, in front of a person who has always acknowledged rivamika has a pair. 💆‍♀️💆‍♀️

I'll also add this

Idk about other times but hitch is a person who would bite the moment something threatening happen while Marlo has thinks a little deeper. And the fact that Marlo understood Jean testing them and hitch acting on it proves that. The scene above^ is painfully similar to countless rivamika scenes we got in this season. It's the same thing, Mikasa acting recklessly without thinking everytime Eren is in danger and Levi who thinks rationally and stops her.

And I'm not gonna talk about how Marlo died or how Kenny and Caven died because I think these are irrelevant to rivamika completely. They are both Ackerman's not alone like Kenny, and like I said in one of my first ever rivamika analysis, Mikasa isn't a burden to Levi, she is freedom. Where as hitch and Marlo go they both shared different goals at the end of the day, that isn't rivamika. So I don't believe they'll meet a tragic end after all, they are a pair who would break the cycle of death which has been a endless concept of aot and they will be the ones to bring more life in the world.

Anyway that's all as always thank you all for reading ! I have a theory I've thinking about for about 2 months but I don't have a proper conclusion yet, and there's so much which connects to that concept so idk when I'll post but hopefully before chapter 139 😭😭

Goodnight 💓
