Even if he doesn't know it, he may be ordered to eat Rainer's flesh. In fact, i believe he will be.

Why ? Because the Armor is a strong asset for a titan shifter to survive the attack of numerous mindless titans, as Reiner proved it.

With no titan shifters inside, the new weapon and Eren with a new armored titan power, raise the odd to win the game. Also, within the wall, they should be in a better position to defend themselves. I'm pretty sure he won't be ordered to do that, nor will it be necessary. He already has the hardening ability, and he already mentioned that he's intentionally focusing it onto the front of his fists to make his punches stronger. The general, but unverified, belief is that the bottle that Eren drank, is somehow related to Reiner. Regardless, if it's just a matter of focusing where he wants the hardened skin to go, then it only makes since that he could focus hard enough to make his own armored body without digesting Reiner's spinal fluid.

Also, it sounded like the Thunder Spears were made specifically for killing the Armored Titan. Given they are equally dangerous to the user, and Bertolt can release such an intense amount of steam, I don't think they would be helpful in defeating Bertolt. Unless they used them to stab him in the eyes, then there's the possibility he would just keep releasing steam until he got his vision back, or he would go on a chaotic rampage because they're stuck in his eyes. o_o

I am strongly hoping he's dead. Just curious, why do you want him to survive?
