This chapter felt too rushed for me, and many interactions felt unnatural. I think the comic relief didn't have its place here, it ruined scenes that shouldn't have been "funny", the worse being Armin and Annie's meeting. Armin's reaction at the end of 124 when thinking about the possibility of Annie being free teased us an interesting meeting but... We got pie.

Also, this chapter has pulled out two times the "characters conveniently meeting others for the sake of the scenario". The first one was obviously Armin and Annie reuniting, the other one being Armin conveniently arriving at the exact moment when Connie is trying to feed Falco to his mom.

And at the end, that just made me feel like... What was even the point of Connie's sideline these lasts chapters ? His intentions of feeding Falco to his mum totally makes sense from an internal POV, but in the end, from a storytelling POV, what did it ad to the story ? We could have forgotten this, and gotten more time for the rushed parts.

I don't really mind the "alliance" by itself, but the way it was handled was really rushed and unnatural. And the last panel, with all of them posing, "We're going to save the world", was so weird. However, I feel like it's some red herring, they're probably going to fail, or something like that.

For the minor details :

- Pieck Finger ? Mmmm... Ok. At least, I'm French, so I'll probably get another family name for her. Pretty ironic that it's Levi, aka the man who lost two fingers, who gave us her family name.

- I'd have prefered that Falco crying Colt's death wasn't just in the background.

- Levi was also in the Path Realm when Eren send the message to all of SoY. It was already 100% sure that he was a SoY, but far too many people still think he isn't.

- Hansi assumed that Levi wasn't transformed along his comrades because he's an Ackerman. We know that the real reason is because he didn't drink the wine, but this sentence shouldn't have been here because it'll create confusion and make people think that he isn't a SoY.

- I think Levi healed too quickly, but Isayama pulled the "Ackermans are more resistant", so I guess it makes sense...
