Oh damn. I completely lost my train of thought there... took me around an hour to write because of all of the distractions, smh.

I guess that Isayama isn't really good with handling couples. There aren't many canon ships into AoT, and the few husband-wife relationships that we see on-screen are only for five minutes (Grisha - Carla, Rod - Lady Reiss).

Honestly, even if he took the suggestion to keep them, I honestly doubt that they would even make it past "five appearances as a minor character" (or just end up like Daz). He didn't have a use for either of them; I feel like they were there to just take up space. However, still having a person there would be a good idea.

If one of them underwent a completely different change in character (such as Historia. Her character very flat before the Uprising, and one of my least favorites), perhaps I would support the idea of sticking them back inside the story more. However, given how they've already been presented, it's more likely that they would do a Sasha -- which would be something I would really dislike ("You were supposed to die here... oh wait, nevermind. We'll just keep you alive for 15 chapters and hope I can come up with something for you later.").

Seems legit. Yes, that's also why I got really excited over Kaya's re-appearance (I hope she sticks around!).
