That tells me she's far too important to just kill off at least for now. But she was just some random girl who was named ymir by a crazy church and turned into a titan, I hope she was fed to the Quad Titan Well... I personally disliked Ymir's attitude myself, but it's not like she murdered anyone or anything, and I don't necessarily want her to die. If anything, I'd like to see some significant character development in her. It would also be cool if she ended up even being included among the current titan shifters to be saved from the death sentence that comes with being a titan shifter if/once Zeke makes the ultimate sacrifice like I could see playing out.

Yes, she was just some random girl who got named after some pioneer, but Isayama's words about her are still intact. And at the time he said that, there was only one Ymir we knew, so logically, the Ymir of today is the one he would have to be referring to.
