AruKuri

AruKuri is the het ship between Armin Arlert and Historia Reiss from the Attack on Titan fandom.

Canon
The first time Armin interacted with Historia on-screen was when she saved him and the others during the 57th Expedition. She brang their horses, as they climbed onto the horses provided from Historia, she frantically asked the three (Armin, Reiner and Jean) if they were alright, which he replied by saying that he was fine. When Historia said that she was glad that she found them, Armin thought of her as 'God'.

In the Clash of the Titans arc, Pastor Nick told Hange and Levi that Krista was the answer to knowing the secret of the Walls. As Eren, Mikasa, and Armin fix their maneuver gear, Hange claimed that they didn't know the names of everyone in the 104th. Armin said that she had blonde hair, and after a small pause, he said that she was cute.

Back at Wall Rose, after recapturing Eren from Bertolt and Reiner, while Eren thanks Jean because he says that thanks to his words he doesn't think he has to hesitate anymore, and that he now knows what to do, Historia suddenly stands up. Armin, concerned for her health, since she recently had hurt herself, tells her it's okay. However, she refuses and she begs Eren to help her find Ymir. As Armin sees her desperation, he just looks at her worryingly.

After some time, for protection issues the newly-formed Squad Levi, which Historia and Armin are now part of, relocate to a new house in the woods. As Mikasa and Historia return from chopping wood, Armin says that their new mission, protecting Eren and Historia, is a major assignment. When the group then reunites with Levi, as Historia tells her whole story, Armin listens intently.

Fanon
This ship is not very popular, but there are a few fanarts of the both of them, mostly because of Armin complimenting Historia (thinking of her as cute), and referring to her as 'God'. There are a few fans who dislike this ship and find it strange because they look similar enough for Armin to dress as her and go unnoticed. In fanfictions, they are more commonly written as siblings/relatives.

Despite not being very popular, the ship currently has 42 works in AO3.
