I'm just bummed we will never get the scene where Bertolt confesses to why he did all this against his truer feelings. He never abandoned the mission, but felt shame for all the death and destruction he played a part in. He's directly responsible for the disasters in Shiganshina and Trost, and that required him betraying the people he came to care about because he honestly felt he had no choice. If he had abandoned the Homeland he and his Colossal Titan form could've ended the war overnight almost. But no, he stayed with the mission that called for him to betray his friends. Now we'll never get the moment where explains any of this to the trio. And he was clearly the more feared Titan between himself and Reiner, you'd think Bertolt wouldn't be outright killed quite this soon. Even if he is not afflicted with the same split personality crisis Reiner is having.
