Somehow I don't get the sense Isayama is gonna let up on all the heartbreakers he's dealing us. These last three chapters of new lore is probably the last big reprieve anybody's getting for a while.

Me I still find it incredulous that the entirety of the Corps was wiped out outside of the 104th at Shiganshina. I hate when the entire Redshirt Army trope is played so completely straight as it is here. And I can think of more reasons why Sasha won't pull through than reasons why she'd spring back after such a battle. And if she doesn't after everything in the Shiganshina arc, you get a pretty clear picture of how merciless Isayama is, I think he's really played up the pessimism fans are feeling for the fortunes of damn near everybody who remains, the most recent blow being the revelation of this death curse, which leaves a grand total of six major characters, Zeke, Reiner, Eren, Armin, Annie and possibly Ymir, living on borrowed time. Which also raises questions on how they intend to restore the mindless Titans, if such a way even exists without some sort of death clause also coming with their rescue. And I doubt anyone is really over Erwin's death.

So yeah, Isayama is a bastard.
