It may not be most illustrative panel about the events of the chapter itself, but it is undoubtedly the most transcendental for the story as a whole, because it is the first time Isayama makes a connection between the main continuity and the events of No Regrets, finally giving us the confirmation that No Regrets is canon. \o/

We might not have another connection between the two mangas again (unless Levi's past is explored for some reason), so if we are going to feature it, this is the time.

Hopefully, as the Corps continue digging into the origins of the Titans, with the secrets of the basement and the mysteries of the Beast Titan, we could get a connection with Before the Fall and confirm if that spin-off is canon as well. I was going to suggest the image of Erwin standing atop the bodies of all of those he let die in order to further his own agenda, but your argument kinda swayed me... Plus I never thought Isayama would ever include material written by another author in his own manga (I figured he would use only his own ideas), so it is sort of a big moment for the manga.
