Not related to discussion, but can we not ease off with the quoting. I'm sure everybody will be able to follow the conversation, and having to scroll through 30 lines breaks up the thread too much.

On the chapter, I enjoyed it, though it's probably less memorable than the other recent ones. It seemed Isayama was dodging the question of how everybody will ultimately react to Eren (as well as giving us anything from Eren's perspective).

Some random thoughts:

- I agree the Gabi parallels to Eren and Sasha were a bit heavy handed. The scene with Kaya seemed a little longer than necessary, but it's cool to see more reflection from Gabi.

- It was nice to have normal Titans being relevant again; it really showed how far the main cast has come since back in Trost.

- I don't see the Connie sub-plot going anywhere, (unless it's setting up Zeke being fed to his Mum). Isayama trying to bring him into the plot again is good, but it seems that Connie's only function recently has been creating conflict within the main cast.

- I don't get where this "Gabi is a Mary Sue" thing comes from. Yes, she clearly has ridiculous accomplishments, but the definition of Mary Sue is a character lacking in flaws that everybody (in-universe) loves. Unless those saying she's a Mary Sue think she's a flawless angel, that clearly isn't the case.

- Starting to worry that Zeke's already dead. He's clearly gonna die before the end of the series, but it would be nice to give him a few more moments and a more satisfying end.

- It's nice to have Annie back, but at this stage I'm not even sure how she'll be relevant to the plot.
