I really liked the characterization in this chapter. We get a lot about Tom Xaver in this one chapter; what he's like as a person, why he bonds with Zeke, and why he's a Warrior.

I also like that it's Xaver's idea that Zeke turn in his parents. I never liked the idea that Zeke just did it on his own (too much planning for a kid to be acting independently), nor did I think he was being groomed by The Owl. But Xaver and his separation from the Eldian Restorationist movement nicely fits the bill.

I'm not sure I particularly like or understand Zeke's end game; sterilizing the Eldian race. If it's possible for the Founding Titan to change the physical bodies of the Subjects of Ymir, why not make a change so that they can no longer become Titans? Then they could still have families and just be like normal people.
