Similar opinion to everyone else. We've yet to see the significance of the forest fight in future chapters and I guess that it makes sense that Levi won, but the fight was disappointing, to say the least. Yes, Zeke had very little options left, and he was in a dilemma where he would've been killed had he done nothing. Yes, Levi had a massive terrain advantage. Yes, it's not like Levi "won," since he was forced to kill off his own comrades and incur serious mental anguish. But at the same time, it just felt so anticlimatic, in a purely irrational, sentimental sense of evaluation. It suffocates all of the hype for the chapter and leaves an uncomfortably abrupt absence of tension. The only notable part about the chapter was that we may finally get an info dump chapter regarding Zeke's true intentions and goals in the form of his backstory.

I was, however, pleasantly surprised to see that glasses-kun, Xavier, did turn out to be a relevant character after his first cameo appearance in Grisha's backstory. There was a lot of theorizing regarding his character and it seems that the fanbase had the right idea about him.
