The haircut doesn't add up sorry ;-) but it would have been really cool...and completly unexpected (so just the type of thing Isayama love to do).

As for Arshpar, I doubt Isayama is going to pull an offscreen death on Annie, I might be wrong of course because Isayama is not an usual writer, but killing one of the three main antagonists, who got an entire arc for herself and who disappeared 70 chapters ago, and also happen to become also a fan favorite (she managed to stay high in the popularity poll despite a near abscence during most of the manga), and who had such importance over the protagonist (teacher of Eren in fighting as much as in view upon the world, first traitor discover, her relationship with EMA in general etc...) and in general one of the most interesting warrior because of her view on life/Marley/Eldian, and also the way she can be at the same time the worst and the best warrior (she is the only one who directly killed and played with the person she kill, but she is also the only one who geniully spare/save someone of her own volition, something never saw with any other warrior and she will even regret it later with Marco and Armin...).

I don't want to raise an army against myself but Ymir was severely foreshadowed to die if she follow Reiner and Bertolt, she recognised it herself and even if she got killed off screen she still got to write Historia a letter as a last farewell (something pretty nice coming from Marley actually considering their general stance with Eldian...).

Annie having the same treatment will be redundant story wise (particulary when the two death are so close), upset the fanbase like really (even if Isayama do what he want from his story I don't believe he will made a choose who will actively upset so much his fan, at least for Ymir he got the excuse of the huge foreshadowing, the letter, and the general comportment of Marley in general for justify it). Annie death after the time skip will also be a huge let down considering her importance in the story (she got a god damned spin-off for her ! Even if it was shared with Mikasa still...) .

Annie will probably die in the future (like 99.99% sure since you seems to like statistic XD), but I doubt she is already dead. Isayama can pull it of course, but it will kind of ruin all the character developement he give to Annie, particulary in the last chapter...
