So much happened in this one.

It feels right having Hange go out doing what she loved and fighting the Wall Titans (even though I am disappointed she didn't get her request fulfilled by Pieck). I think she easily filled the big shoes left behind by Erwin and the other soldiers who went before her. Also, Annie had so much more growth here; although her dialogue with Reiner and Pieck was good, the interaction between herself and Mikasa was the highlight of the entire chapter for me. It led to the two actually understanding the other more clearly instead of Mikasa still trying to fight her; I am still curious who won their fight long ago back in the Training Corps. Plus, that (final?) lingering look Annie and Armin gave each other showed that there certainly is something forming between them both.

Speaking of Armin, it's going to be weird seeing him taking control of the Survey Corps; I was certainly surprised by him being chosen, but I think Hange saw that Armin's mind was more valuable as a leader as opposed to Levi's fighting abilities. I imagine Armin will either let Levi have free reign or simply cede control to him once the crisis has been resolved or dealt with (just like what he did with Jean during the Battle of Shiganshina).

And last, but certainly not least, Floch is FINALLY dead. It's time to sing!

(in key of 'Ding-Dong the Witch is Dead') "Ding-dong, the fascist's dead! Which fascist? The fascist Floch Ding-dong, the effing fascist Floch is dead."
