JeanPiku

"Jean!! You don't need to worry about me! Just ignore me and go blow up-"

- Pieck to Jean

JeanPiku is the het ship between Jean Kirstein and Pieck Finger from the Attack on Titan fandom.

Return to Shiganshina
Pieck and Jean first met each other in the Return to Shiganshina arc where Pieck was helping Zeke, Reiner & Bertolt fight the scouts. In that mission Jean saved Hange from being eaten by Pieck. Pieck and Jean then shared a tense look before she ran away from the scene. After that they don't meet again until the raid on Liberio.

Raid on Liberio
When Jean sees the Cart Titan he recognizes it's Pieck and he begins to fight her. Before fighting her he sarcastically tells her that he "Didn't get to thank you for last time" and then he shoots her with a thunderspear leaving her incapacitated in her titan form. Jean then attempts to finish her off, but Falco stands in the way which made Jean hesitant to attack since Falco is just a child. Jean & Pieck make eye contact and then he shoots the thunderspear. He missed due to the steam but that's when he sees Pieck's human form for the first time. The other scouts try to finish off Pieck but Jean tells them to retreat because the Marleyans started to defend Pieck.

Rumbling
Jean and Pieck meet again when Hange forms an alliance with the Warriors to stop Eren. Pieck takes Jean, Yelena and Onyonkopon from Floch as he was trying to exterminate Yelena and Onyonkopon. Jean comes out drenched in the Cart Titan's saliva and it looks like it got in his mouth too; Jean is shown to be grossed out. After that, they try to seize the flying boat but they have to fight the Yeagerists in order to get it. Falco transformed into his titan to provide support for Reiner and Annie but he lost control shortly after. Falco began to rampage and he was about to hurt Jean but Pieck stepped in the way and protected Jean and the scouts.

In Chapter 136, Jean sets off to detonate the bomb but he encounters an impaled Pieck. The reanimated Warhammer Titan gets distracted by Jean which gives Pieck enough time to transform again and kill the Warhammer Titan. After that, Jean was going to be killed by a titan but Pieck saved him. A titan attacked Pieck from behind and Jean thinking she was going to get killed, yelled at her to stay away so she wouldn't get attacked. Pieck shot out of her titan leaving Jean confused and worried. As she shot transformed into a titan again she explained to Jean that she could turn many times with the Cart Titan's durability and that he didn't need to worry about her. Pieck's strength and determination seemed to impress Jean. Listening to Pieck, Jean leaves her so he could detonate the bomb.

In Chapter 137, Jean sets off to activate the bomb but before heading Eren's way he looks back to check on Pieck, and he realises that she's in trouble. He then rushes to save her. Pieck tells him that she can fight once she heals her arm, but Jean tells her that she has reached her limit and continues to keep her safe. He carries her with one arm as they're looking for Reiner. Jean holds Pieck gently and protects her as she sees a resurrected Porco and begins to cry. When Jean sees Pieck and Reiner are safe, he goes on to blow Eren up. After Jean blows Eren up, Pieck and Jean have a conversation about Reiner staying behind. Consequently, Jean picks up Pieck and they get on Falco together. Jean spent almost all of chapter 137 with Pieck.

Aftermath
In the final chapter Pieck and Jean and the others are now ambassadors for Marley, on their way to Paradis on boat, Jean is seen fixing his hair and Pieck jokes and asks him about who he is trying to impress, Jean responds he's trying to look good for girls that read history books.

Fanon
Despite not being a very popular ship for Jean, it is somewhat popular for Pieck. At this moment there are at least 74 fan works on Archive of Our Own. This ship rivals PokkoPiku and JeanKasa.

Majority of shippers of this ship claim Jean's type is someone with pretty black hair, if Jean's crush were to get with someone else majority of the shippers believe Jean might get with Pieck as she also is known to have black hair. Most fans also like to joke around that the girl in Jean's dream could've also be Pieck although this is unlikely due to his one sided crush on Mikasa, and the fact that the woman had a mark on her cheek resembling Mikasa's mark in real life.

It is also common due to the fact that Jean is jokingly called 'horse face' due to his appearance and Pieck is the current inheritor of the Cart Titan. Considering both horse and cart goes well together the ship tends to be joked around. It is also present the Love Doctor reddit series where Pieck and Jean get married.
