Manuel, I agree with much of your assessment of 83, I hope the anime retcons some of the implausibilities of the past couple of chapters. Like, Armin being flung from like 80 meters up in the air and landing on his back on a roof and still having any life inside of him, like that's just too physically implausible. I mean, if the anime really goes this route I hope they at least have him land on a god damn hay bale or something, just anything to make it slightly feasible that he wouldn't be very dead when they find him.

With that said, I think this is easily one of the best chapters in the entire series, at least in my opinion. I've reread this chapter maybe five or six times already and no other chapter has really done it for me like this one has.

" It will be interesting to see what Armin will do with his Titan powers, and how he will react to the notion that Erwin and Bertolt died to save him."

I kind of think a large part of this chapter was people hesitating about the enormous responsibilities that filling Erwin's shoes would entail. Hange is going to be the 14th commander of the Survey Corps and I don't think they feel quite ready for it and nobody wants to have to be the person who decides all of these horrible sacrifices, that was always Erwin's role. Now Armin is going to feel very heavy that he'll have to carry that responsibility.
