G*** DAMN MIKASA!!! Talk about ripped!
No wonder all those jokes about Eren being the woman of the hour have been going around. SHE WEARS THE F***ING PANTS LITERALLY!

So basically they have an AoT card game? Didn't know about this. Y'know I'm really happy this series is getting so much attention. Hopefully season 2. Hopes, hopes, hopes.

Is she actually that ripped? Like, there was a scene in the manga that shows how muscular she is? Or is the buffed Mikasa just one of those running gags that's stuck?

I've never read the manga, but according to my friends, who have, Mikasa is indeed cut like a diamond.

MMAkasa is pretty sick

Pretty much everyone in AoT should be really ripped. Using the 3D system would be super taxing.

She is canonically that ripped.

Do you even lift? Women should more often, but it's rare to see many down in the weight area.

Eh, I'm not sure if I'm into girls who are that cut. I prefer just a flat belly to real abs, but that's just me.

And yet somehow she still turns me on...

This is all very new for me.

Getting definition like that takes a lot of dedication to nutrition and training, you'd have to want to aim for that kind of build. There's nothing bad about adding a bit of muscle mass.

I'm not lifting atm, but I need to get back to it. I recently moved and need to find a place I'm comfortable with. Some guys at gyms are really creepy, especially when women are lifting. It can be hard to go solo.

Also, not every woman trains her body to appeal to the opposite sex.

Quoting this for the truth. Some friends of mine have gotten into hitting the gym and watching their diet. They're getting noticeably cut, but they're not getting buff. Exercise alone won't do it, you need to go out of your way to get cut.

...Which is kind of the point, in Mikasa's case. She's so single-mindedly obsessed with Eren that she went above-and-beyond to ensure her position alongside him in the Corps.

It's kind of contradictory to how Eren was one of those "He's not great, but he makes up for it in determination!" types, but hey.

I wouldn't kick her out of bed... because I *couldn't* kick her out. If she doesn't want to go, she's not going anywhere. Razz

FWIW, anyone in decent shape would look like that with a low enough body fat percentage. The muscles are already there, but now you can see them.

Obviously when you need to avoid being eaten by through sheer agility and endurance alone, love-handles are a death sentence. hehehe..

Not to mention that no real military training program lasts three years. Even the longest (ie, the USMC Basic School is six months), so it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that even Armin is cut like a freaking rock.
