Attack on Titan/Ships

AruFuro
 AruFuro is the slash ship between Armin Arlert and Floch Forster.

Canon
Floch is shown to dislike Armin during the ceremony in honor for the fallen scouts when he was chosen to receive the titan serum instead of Erwin. It's unknown of Armin's opinion of Floch, despite this Floch is shown to not hold a strong hatred against Armin.

They first meet when Armin is shown to be dying as his body is burnt due to his sacrifice in order to distract the former Colossal Titan user, Bertolt. Not only Armin is dying but also the former Survey Corps commander, Erwin Smith as his organs were demolished from the charge against the Beast Titan which Floch was apart from and the only survivor. As Levi decides who should eat Bertolt, Floch advocated it should be Erwin, meanwhile Mikasa and Eren opposed this and thought Armin was a much better idea. Armin is chosen instead of Erwin and this leaves Floch with survivor guilt from the charge, Floch is even shown sadden and even questions Captain Levi on his choice.

During the ceremony for the fallen soldiers Armin tells Floch that he understood how much he wanted to Erwin to live, but Floch criticizes Armin for being the one chosen, with his honesty, Floch tells Armin that most of the military agreed that Erwin should've been saved instead of Armin as his survival was a mistake as written on the report for the battle. The argument continued between Floch and the scouts until it was time for the nine survivors to receive medals from Historia.

In the time skip, it's most likely that Floch doesn't hold a grudge against Armin anymore.

Fanon
The ship has mixed reactions amongst both fans of Armin and Floch due their differences. Some fans think that it was wrong for Floch to tell Armin he should've been dead in front of his face and that it breaks the relationship's potential. Others find the honesty of the statement refreshing and even think that it makes the ship more attractive, enjoying the potential of the Enemies to Lovers trope.

This ship currently rivals EreMin and Fleren, which both are very popular slash ships for the two.

EreHisuFloch
 EreHisuFloch is the poly ship between Eren Jaeger, Historia Reiss and Floch Forster.

Canon
Both Historia and Floch were the only ones who were wary of Eren's true plan, and that was to bring ruins to the world with the rumbling. Both Historia and Floch acted as shocked with the plan that'll kill millions in the process, with Historia even telling Eren it was wrong as there are people outside the walls who were like his mother. Before learning about Eren's true plan, Floch overhears Eren and Yelena's conversation with explaining of Zeke's true plan. Zeke's plan contained of the euthanizing of the Eldian race, Eren tells Floch to pretend to follow Zeke so they can reach their true goal.

With the knowledge of Eren's true intention, the plan begins. Historia gets pregnant by a farmer, but Historia is currently in the process of giving birth. While Historia is pregnant, Floch begins to gather allies to help with Eren's plan, as he gathers allies the group full of allies will soon be known as the Yeagerists/Jaegerists. Floch is later killed by Mikasa and Eren is soon after beheaded by Mikasa, stopping the rumbling. In the final chapter it's revealed that the living Yeagerists have taken over Paradis as they went from a rebel group to an army as Historia mentions.

Junior High Manga
With Floch and Historia having no direct interaction on the main story, except the fact the two were in the same class and Historia honoring both Floch and Eren for their bravery. But the two are shown interacting in Junior High Manga. Most of the time the two mangas have a sort of connection with each other as Junior High makes references to the main story. Both Floch and Historia stay back from entering Marley Academy, which is also the same in the main story as Floch did not attend the meeting with Kiyomi in Marley, so it's most likely that Eren asked Floch to stay of guard of Historia while Eren went to Marley with the other Survey Corps members.

Fanon
It's known among the fandom that the trio is somewhat 'cold' due to their drastic change in personality, there currently aren't written works on Archive of Our Own but there are fanarts of the trio.

However there are some theories that Eren must've sent Floch to tell Historia how the Military Police wanted to feed Zeke to Historia as soon as possible and told her to get pregnant immediately, but some believe Eren is the hooded person himself. Some fans joke that Floch is the father of Historia's baby.

The poly ship is mainly shipped by those who ship Eren and Historia. After the release of the Chapter 139 most fans abandoned this trio due to Eren's choice in the rumbling.

ErwinBasement
 ErwinBasement is the cargo ship between Erwin Smith and the basement. AKA: Erubae

Canon
The basement refers to the one in Grisha Jaeger's house, where secrets of the Titans and the world are hidden. Erwin is the son of a history teacher inside the walls. One day, his father is teaching his class, and he asks, “How do we know that there are no humans outside the walls?” In reponse, his father gives a short answer. His father believes it is near impossible for humanity not to have passed down an oral history.

Upon hearing this, a young and naive Erwin shares all about his father’s theory, and due to this, his father is tortured and killed for having this information. From that day forth, Erwin never forgot and his entire goal to join the Survey Corps was based upon proving his father right.

Later in life, Erwin meets Eren Jaeger and finds out he has the key to the basement. During the return to Shiganshina, he and Levi Ackerman and are found in a hopeless situation. Erwin confesses all of his most intimate feelings about the basement and his desire to prove his father's theory. Erwin moves forward with his plan, however ultimately he is not able to reach his dream. His last words have something to do with the basement once again, as he repeats the question he asked to his father in the classroom.

Erwin later confesses all of his most intimate feelings about the basement and his desire to prove his father's theory to Levi, and at last Erwin moves forward with his plan, however ultimately he is not able to reach his dream since Levi failed killing the Beast Titan and 96% of all the tropes were killed. His last words have something to do with the basement once again, as he repeats the question he asked to his father in the classroom.

Fanon
Due to Erwin's dream being all about finding his father's theories were true from visiting the basement, fans have joked about this a lot of times, but due his "obsession" with it, it makes this more of a meme within the fandom. Although some other fans have also made very lengthy and thoughtful analyses of Erwin's relationship to the basement. These same fans headcanon Erwin's reaction to the basement as a mixture between relief for the fact his dad's theories were true, and sadness for all the lives that had been lost to get to that moment.

Some fans accuse Erwin of being "obsessed" with the basement, to the point of being selfish, but some other fans point out the fact this is not true, since Erwin never viewed the deaths of his comrades lightly, and he just wanted to reveal the truth of Humanity's history that his father told him was in the basement.

YmiShin
 YmiShin is the het ship between Ymir Fritz and Shinji Ikari from the Attack on Titan and Neon Genesis Evangelion fandom.

Canon
Ymir Fritz and Shinji Ikari have never met in canon, as both of them are characters from different animes (Attack on Titan and Neon Genesis Evangelion).

Fanon
After the premiere and completion of Neon Genesis Evangelion 3.0+1.0, along with the completion of the Attack on Titan manga, great possibilities were opened for the two characters to possibly meet and live happily both in the world that was made through the anti-universe and its connections with other realities. Also, in Neon Genesis Evangelion it was confirmed (as a kind of multiverse) that one of those possible universes they live in could be the same world and the two characters can meet there and have a different future from their stories. This has led some fans of both fandoms to ship these two characters.

Fans have also noticed similaries between the two, such as:


 * The two characters are used as weapons.
 * They both have emotional dependence.
 * Both of them are victims of emotional/physical abuse and unattended basic needs in childhood.
 * Both characters are in a desperate search for love.
 * Both of them feel the need to be part of something bigger.
 * The two of them do everything to please the person who treats them badly or hates them, does not give them any kind of affection and only sees them as simple machines.
 * Both characters would be happy with a "good job."
 * They pilot a bio-mecha (the difference is that one has it attached and the other apart).
 * Both get "freed" by two people at the end of what tormented them.
 * No one taught them love, until a certain person taught them to have their own will.
 * They don't care if they are manipulated they just want to feel loved somewhere.
