I'm gonna have to make this quick, I'm posting from my phone. I'll write a full post with my thoughts on the chapter later I'm sure you'll all be very excited.

But oh MAN was that ending something! There have been a lot of theories about humanity thriving beyond the Walls, but I was honestly kind of hoping Isayama would stick to his guns and keep writing the story as a post-apocalyptic piece, but oh well. :/ But what REALLY catches my attention is Grisha's family photo. I see some other people on the thread have had the same idea as me upon seeing it: that the kid in the picture is Zeke, Grisha's son. This is actually a pretty intriguing plot point for me, as I've actually seen fan translators saying online that during Zeke's conversation with Eren in Chapter 83, a possible way to translate Zeke's dialogue implies that he is referring to Grisha as his own (i.e. "You don't look anything like father", as opposed to Crunchyroll's translation "You don't look anything like your father"). It certainly would be intriguing to see Eren facing off with his brother the next time they meet. And, to make things even better, this would explain Zeke's obvious daddy issues. If my dad ran off and started a new family, gave his new son Titan abilities, AND the Coordinate, I'd be pretty pissed too!

On an unrelated note, I notice that Isayama is ALREADY starting to move Floch to the sidelines now that he's finished writing Captain Levi v. Mikasa: Dawn of Civil Justice War. I expect that by next chapter, we'll be back to focusing exclusively on Squad Levi, with Floch nowhere to be seen. :/

On ANOTHER unrelated note, I REALLY hope that Squad Levi found some more survivors before they returned to Wall Rose. Lauda may be a lost cause, but he still has a chance to develop Thomas and Rashad!
