Definitely agree that 'Rumbling Arc' should be included.

- Simple and easy to say/remember

- Extremely relevant to the plot

- Doesn't sound tryhard like a lot of the others

The problem is that the rumbling has not happened yet, the Titans haven't left the island and we don't know if they will. If they're stopped before they do, before they manage to trample any enemy nation or even leave Paradis' territory, then this "flattening of the Earth" will be left in nothing and the arc will be named after something that didn't occur. And if it does occur, we'll now have a title that spoils an event that happens until the final stages of the arc, since the very name.

It's like naming the Return to Shiganshina arc "The Basement arc" or "The Ocean arc". Reaching the basement and the ocean were also the motivating factors for that arc, yet it'd be unfitting to use them to title the arc for the same reason that "Rumbling arc" would be problematic here. And imagine that the rumbling doesn't occur, then we'd be in a situation similar to naming the Female Titan arc "Shiganshina arc"; because reaching Shiganshina was the purpose of the 57th Expedition, yet the Female Titan sabotaged it before it happened.

It's better to pick a name that describes the general plot of the arc without depending on a certain condition or spoiling what happens at the end, and users have already suggested titles that meet this requirement.
