Petra and Nanaba were too. ;p

I think the main reason Bertl died is because taking down the Colossus Titan is a symbol. Too bad he couldn't express more of his confidence but we lost Erwin and almost the entire Survey Corps, and the Colossus is a good one to get rid of. :p

For Reiner, all these times he nearly died are a lot, yes. And besides the fact he is Isayama's favourite, I find his struggle interesting. He has been a coward, which is why Marcel died and Galliard never forgave him, a liar and a murderer, which is why his fellows on Paradis hate him. And despite all his regrets, all his apologies and efforts to do better, no one forgives him. And perhaps this is his greatest punishment. Worse than Galliard's insults or Jean's punch. No matter what he does afterwards, he still did horrible things and have to live with it. He has to stop with that split personality (which appeared because he couldn't handle it) admit what he did and live with that, whether he can be forgiven or not.
