I was a little surprised Sasha's death didn't have more of a moment. Gabi just fired into the crowd and she happened to be the one in the way of the bullet.

But that being said, I don't have a problem with her dying. She was supposed to have died ages ago so she was living on borrowed time anyway, and as Neetaku said, she stopped having a plot purpose a long time ago. If she was not in Uprising or Return to Shiganshina the arcs wouldn't have played out much differently.

For more practical purposes, we also have a larger cast now, so thinning the amount of active characters by either death or retirement to accommodate the newer, more relevant ones is fine by me. (And I'm a big Erwin fan so I already had one of my faves ripped out of the series. That's fine.  I still read it.)
