How many times is the "can you kill Eren" question gonna pop up? Guess Yams wants to hammer it in for the speed-readers.

Overall, my feelings are similar to Rune's. Hange's final stand feels silly given the number of Wall Titans (even if it was to block off the road or whatever). I dunno, the fact it was a contrived situation imagined up to kill off a vet just sticks out a bit too much for me.

And Armin becoming Commander isn't really doing it for me either; it just kinda highlights how sidelined Jean has become. I guess it makes some sense from a in-universe perspective, with Armin still being idealistic, and more sure in his position than Jean.

I'll miss Floch. Yeah, he was a bit of a Saturday morning cartoon villain, but he was one of the characters you could rely on to add flair to this arc.

Soon as how Eren & Zeke (who are always absent) are usually the only ones to drive the plot, Floch doing something, and not just reacting to events made him one of the better characters to me. Also, he was starting to be written more realistically as well. Ah well. Didn't take a clairvoyant to predict his death, and I guess his role in the story had finished anyway.

Not a fan of the blushy-crushy bit with Armin & Annie, but that might be me not caring about shipping. It's pretty much guaranteed something happens on the boat right? Let's hope Annie's main role on returning wasn't being Armin's waifu...

I don't mean to be a negative Nancy or whatever, I'm just becoming more nervous about SnK sticking the landing as we come to the end. This chap did have some good moments, as pointed out by Razzylada, Winston, and Rune anyway.

I don't think this alliance mini-arc has been anyone's favourite, but now we're on the plane, I'm sure good stuff is ahead.
