So basically a mundane and unremarkable chapter.

What?


 * Flees Flying Bricks and Beer Bottles*

Seriously, my only complaint is it seemed so short--I wanted more. But you cannot get what you want.

Armin "I'm Not Dead!": okay, yes, disappointing. But recall the harshest move of the manga/anime: Eren getting eaten to save Armin. "What? He's the main character?!" At first I thought his transformation was a bit of a weak plot device. So constantly resurrecting characters? As someone up there said, that removes the gravity. Now a "Sophie's Choice" between him and Erwin? That could be interesting.

However, he seems, well, "cooked." It is going to be very hard--in a series that does not care about biology and physics--to justify that.

Hanje : I thought she was so near-sighted that she could not tell people apart very well without her glasses? ^ ^; Anyways, however she survived, good to see her back. And look to the bright side:

R&B "Not Really 'Rhythm but there will be Blues" Per Our Power that Be's comment about Eren's promise, let us not forget Hanje's "treatment" of the priest and others when she needed to extract information. Unless Zeke the Beast has some sort of Deus Ex Machina up his. . . .fur? . . . B and probably R are going to have a very unpleasant future. The only question is whether or not they live long enough to avoid revealing the secrets of Homeland. Eren, I am sure, may be a part of "The Question Extraordinary."

So unless either of them can whip up some Annie Special Diamond Defense, or commit suicide, or Someone Else can order an all-out Titan assault, I think the only question is how many issues we have to wait until one of them/both of them talks. This could be unpleasant. Shifters without limbs are weakened. How do you keep Shifters from transforming? I see Hanje and Eren using axes. . . a lot.
