Reiner Braun/Mikasa Ackerman

Reiner Braun/Mikasa Ackerman, also known as ReiKasa or ReiMika (sometimes could also be known as AckerBraun), is one of the rarepairs in the Shingeki no Kyojin/Attack on Titan fandom. Ever since the Attack on Titan's Final season debuted in December 2020 after a 2 year hiatus, the fans' interest towards this rarepair has been on the rise. Reiner and Mikasa graduated at the top two of their Cadet training in the 104th, with Mikasa placing first, followed by Reiner. They have been shown in anime to have been sparring partners & have been grouped together frequently for their training excursions. Later on in the series, they enrolled with the Survey Corps, under Commander Erwin Smith's leadership.
Currently in the final arc of the manga, Reiner and Mikasa are a part of the alliance between Paradis & Marley, who are working together in humanity's last stand against the Founding Titan in Fort Salta.
