I was mainly in it to see Armin's reaction to everything that transpired. He's a superhuman, he ate his former best friend, and humanity's guiding hand is dead because of Eren and Mikasa's lack of forsight.

I thought Armin was going to be pissed.

But his reaction was very ho hum. Wait... did I miss something? When were Armin and Bertholt best friends?

Armin's best friend has always been Eren, and Bertholt's best friend has always been Reiner. Thought their relationship was never shown in the manga, in the official guidebook it states Armin and Bertl were close friends. It also kinda shows when Armin tried to reach out to Bertl on the rooftop, and that brief moment of sadness when Bertl sees Armin's burnt body.
