I feel like Isayama lost the balls to kill anyone. The only people I've seen die in the recent chapters are Moblit and Marlo. Two slightly relevant characters. But I feel like I'm the only one who appreciates the character Isayama forged years ago. I tend to look at Bertl from two points. My own personal experience, and the child soldier perspective. I kind've emulate Bertholdt in a way. We're both shy, very much introverted, and have badass best friends who look after us. And the Attack on Junior High Bertholdt made me fall in love with him even more. I'm still in high school, and it sucks. Bertholdt in the spin off felt like me in a way. I could relate to what he was going through. And secondly, I view him from the lenses of a child soldier. Now admittedly Bertholdt, Reiner, and Annie have more autonomy than let's say a child soldier in the Congo. But I highly doubt that the three decided one day to wage war on humanity. We can see through their subtle interactions that they just complete their assignment and go home. It's really sad to think that all three of the Titan trio might never go home. Despite what humanity thinks about them, they probably all have families waiting for their return.
