Ok, there's something we can agree on. Isayama mishandled her character big time, by not giving her any sort of development past the Clash of the Titans arc. But that's not entirely his fault. Considering he intended for her to die back then, I find it hard to fault him for losing track of her in the shuffle after his editor convinced him to keep her alive. The sad truth is Sasha's character has been dead for a while now, because Isayama was never able to find a way to work her back into the story and make her relevant after he backed out of his original plan for her. Should she have gotten more development since he chose to keep her around? Sure. But I can't fault him for not finding a way to include her in the narrative in a more meaningful way. I can only fault him for starting her character on a downward spiral by choosing to keep her around longer than she was needed.
