@Gurgatory Being his favorite character doesn't mean he can't die. But yeah, I don't think he's dead. I do think, however, that he's injuried, since his hat flew away with the impact.

However, nobody seems to have noticed that Armin is drawing out a firearm as Jean falls on his ass. And in fact, when everybody is watching in surprise how Jean is about to get shot, Armin is pointing his gun towards the MP woman (his arm is pointing forward, but the gun is out of sight).
