Still, I'm betting all my money that almost all the main ones end up dead in the end. Mikasa included. Isayama's put her through enough trauma and mental anguish. I think that's more than enough for one character ._.;;

And oddly, I still feel really strongly Armin is going to live. Normally. Maybe he and Hanji find a supposed cure. But after it's too late for everyone else. Even with Eldians freed it doesn't rid them of becoming Titans. Hasn't that always been the goal of the series? Humanity isn't really saved if Titans are still popping up and running amuck.

On a positive note, there's another thing added to a list of things I'm eager to see. What the true history of the Eldians' is Kruger spoke of. I can't wait what else we'll uncover when we get to Ymir's letter and her history, The Ackerman mystery, and the Marley's enemy to the East. What changes will all that bring :) Ah, yes and when they actually get into Marley territory. What will happen. Here's how I want the series to end:

Armin is sitting at a desk in his home either writing down everything that's happened to him and his friends, or telling it to someone, perhaps his child (this would bring things full circle in the anime considering his VO actor is the narrator). Armin looks visibly aged, as he's reached the 13th year of his life after becoming a shifter and is passing on the knowledge before he dies. The final shot is him looking out his window at the ocean.

At this point, I totally want something like that to wrap up the series.

Yep, I can see that as well. Whether Armin lives or dies later, I feel he'd be the only one left alive at the end. The series would end with him and if the curse stays he'd have an off screen death.
