But I do strong feel like Armin's going to delve into Bertl's memories in the chapters to come. Maybe we learn why the titan trio came to the Walls to begin with, or maybe see a young Bertl interact with the rest of the Hoover family, or see Bertl finally gain the powers of the Colossal Titan himself. There's so much we could do with this. People tend to forget the humanity and tend to look at the monster.

But on a side note, am I the only one pissed that Erwin's dead? And he died under the most stupid of reason. Eren's entire point for sacrificing Erwin is that Armin did more for the battle.... Really? That's your masterful reasoning for why Erwin had to die. Armin helped with a battle and suddenly he's the greatest officer in the corp?

I like Armin, but I feel like this new wind kinda cheapens his death. In his final moments we saw him opine on the ocean, and how Eren will see it for him. In my mind, Armin was ready and willing to die.

Erwin on the other hand still had an entire species to lead to greatest, everyone back home practically looked to Erwin for guidance. Armin's a good guy and all, but Erwin commanded the fear of all.
