Well sorry to be repetitive, but Ymir was the last big one. So much so that I am genuinely uncertain what purpose she played outside of propping up Christa. Frankly,  I think he wasted her badly. No explanation as to what her real loyalties or intentions were, and gone for over a year only for........THAT scene.

BTW, the fact that only nine people survived Shiganshina.........That also counts. That's a lot of blood spilled. Frustrating how no redshirts are spared and how none are actually given personalities. That's the problem with an "Anyone Can Die" series. Aside from the only bigger problem, that anyone can die.

Oh and I certainly had no sympathy for Bertolt, but I'm sure that didn't elicit zero response from fans. Sympathy for the devil? I'm sure that was in play. Even if Bertolt was rather poorly developed next to Annie and especially Reiner.
