It's insane how even in this manga, Isayama cannot offer any real upside to anything we see. Everyone's already got a low chance of survival in the long haul, to compound that with this revelation that the Titan Serum will kill those who are injected with it within thirteen years is literally nothing more than adding salt to the wound. True, maybe we should've figured much earlier that a downside to its power was present, but there was little real hint of this outside of Reiner's passive remark to Bertolt. With a power that can grant such regenerative abilities and the revelation that the Titans are essentially a higher power in this universe humans once coexisted with, Isayama really threw us off completely. But what's the point? Everyone's at a high risk of dying anyway, why do we need even more bad news like this? That's him being an asshole there.

All the rest of the 104th have not been allowed the dignity of being able to expand their part in the story or to really have a more decisive impact, putting them on the chopping block and keeping us in the dark for months on their fates, that's him being a massive dick.

And on that note, when can the massacre finally stop? They know they're on an island, they know Marley is responsible for the Titan infestation. They gotta somehow break through to the coast where all of this is being perpetrated.

And forgive me for being so goddamned confused by this ridiculous manga, but what are the Homelanders accomplishing by massacring their fellow Eldians on Paradis?
