And at the time of the interview, chapter 129 had not been released, so it's possible that he didn't take it into consideration. Not only that, but in the interview, Isayama initially said that the series had 6% left, only to then correct it and say 5%. If 1% makes a difference for him then it means that he really, like really, wants to end the series now, which he also mentioned in the interview. I didn't do the math wrong, and most people got the same answer I did. Also, your take could go both way. Keep in mind, the chp may not had been released OFFICIALLY when that interview happened, but it was still already submitted to the magazine, so as far as Isayama is concerned, that chapter is considered complete on his side of things. I'll also have to double check on the 6% thing as I realized you the only one who mentioned it, but it sounds like both percentages were estimates, or his simply misspoke on one of them. Not that its a big difference like you said, but maybe he meant to say "5-6% left", as no matter how you look at it, he was still estimating in the end, and you would think that if the series was really ending this year, or was supposed to before we lost May, he would be more straightforward on when EXACTLY the last chp is, as many other authors have done in his profession around this point in their stories.
