OKAY, I've said my piece on this chapter's plot armor, and have finally written a proper summary for it... Now it's time for me to give my thoughts on it properly.

This chapter (like its predecessors) seemed kind of small to me. It once again feels like I'm only reading 20 pages worth of story, and while it makes writing chapter summaries easier, it doesn't exactly enthrall me as a fan of the series. On the positive side of things, we got some pretty cool fight scenes in this issue. I haven't seen anyone weaponize baseball so effectively since Negan took a baseball bat to Glenn's head in The Walking Dead comic series. We also see Eren take a beating the likes of which we haven't seen since he faced off with Annie in the Forest of Giant Trees (I'm not sure if everyone would count this as a plus, but I couldn't help loving it, considering how confident he was that he'd be able to beat Bertolt).

On the negative side of things, we see Isayama exercising his right to kill off redshirts and unnamed background characters in a tired old attempt to convince fans that the main characters are in danger.

Also, I noticed that when Eren was catapulted into Wall Maria, he left a pretty big hole in the Wall... With the hole in the Wall allowing sunlight inside, will the Wall Titans wake up and join the fight? And if they do, would it be part of Zeke's plan, or would the help just be a happy little coincidence for him?
