For starters, you got the protect Hazubito workers to fix the plane, which says takes a week to finish repairing which adds more fuel to the fire of "time is of the essence" here. We still have Floch and Yeagerists to taking out the Annie and Reiner with ease (they were members of the Survey Corp after all). It was cool seeing Falco's Jaw Titan form which is really different compare to the previous Titan forms, but as expected he doesn't know how to control it as it is his first try.

Floch trying to take out the ship with one thunder spear which probably could have done some external damage but he was shot in the abdomen by Gabi, and I know some are going to say "great, Gabi took out another beloved character", but trust me I don't think Floch is dead given he feel in the water and he didn't seem too phased out. So he is definitely going to come back (much to my chagrin but he is ultranationalist that AoT needs).

Last thing major thing (and I believe this is where the title of this chapter Retrospective comes in), was the Theo Magath and Keith Shadis moment in destroying the battleship which made me a bit sad but questioning why, because I thought they would both have a bigger role to play in rebuilding the world but nope. However I did think them interacting and comparing their experiences of trying to change the way they lived and teaching the new generation was kinda neat as they are both similar. While Theo Magath is probably everyone's least favorite character given how uninteresting he looks and acts most of the time, but he does actually have his own moments he feels to question Marley's way of living and the Eldians to some degree. He wasn't always 100% in conjecture or in agreement with military and political establishment of Marely but reluctantly followed orders as he is a soldier but is good to see that he saw the errors in his ways. Keith Shadis who wanted to change the way people think while Failed but he does believe to teach the next generation to make sure they would grow and maybe change the way of living. And respect to Shadis for taking out the train that was carrying reinforcements to the Yeagerists.

So a good chapter not perfect but good enough. Anyway, why Theo and Keith are destroying the battleship? Where is Levi? Where is Eren? What happened to the others? This is such a sad... They are appear in the next chapter.
