Overall, I liked the chapter, after a second reading. Because the first one was considerably ruined because of someone on Reddit who didn't get the concept of "No spoilers or names i titles", and something like 10 min after the first leaks dropped on r/titanfolk (I don't look at the leaks, I just see that the leak thread is posted, meaning the chapter is close to be released) Someone titled "RIP Hange and Floch". And I know that I'm far from being alone, lots of people have been spoiled. And ironically, as Hange's birthday was the 5th of september, many fanarts about her were posted, and many people thought it was a spoiler, they thought it was a tribute to her death. And ironically, they got spoiled by something which wasn't supposed to be a spoiler.

Good :

- Hange's death wasn't the best death we've got in SnK, but it was still a good one. Her going

- This (probably) last tribute to all the fallen member of the Survey Corps. Even minor characters like Dieter Ness and his horse Charrette were here. Touching.

- The plane is finally flying. It means the final confrontation with Eren and the end of the manga is near.

Cons :

- How did Floch even survive ??? I know it was an extremely popular theory that he survived and that he would show up trying to ruin everything for the alliance, and I knew it was most likely going to happen, but still. How are we going to justify that he survived, after a few days with an important blood loss and nothing to heal himself, without any food or any water... In terms of plot armor, it's right next to Armin surviving a 50 meters fall after being burnt alive for five minutes. At least, he didn't kill Hange, which is what I feared after being spoiled both of their deaths. Because if Hange died killed by Floch when he wasn't even supposed to survive in the first place, that would have been really... Uh...

Neutral :

- Armin as the new leader of the Survey Corps. Well, it's not like it's going to change anything by now, but was Hange aware of Erwin's will to have Levi as the next Survey Corps leader after her ?

Other :

- Are Annie, Falco and Gabi's roles done ? Might be possible, I don't really see what they could ad to the story that the other characters couldn't accomplish.

- The area where Yelena think Eren is heading is the equivalent of the Atlas mountains (アトラス, atorasu in Japanese). The name given to it in the chapter is the same, but in reverse : スラトア , suratoa.
