For me, besides Hannes and Marco, all the others that died were only arc characters, for example the Levi S.O.S. For the remanining heroes i wanted to see at least one of them to die in that arc, because their enemies had the overall advantage with their manouever gear, until they fought Levi that is. I didn't expect Levi to die so soon but i never thought that he could solo penta them like that. TBH, i didn't expect him to die at least in that arc, but at least someone of the Levi squad would. Jean probably didn't die so i don't expect anyone else to do so right now.

By the end i thnik that about half of the people from the 104th trainee squad that push the story so far will die. Meaning that from the Top ten and Armin and Ymir i think that about six of them will be dead. Marco is already, Ymir has really High chances and then come RBA, WHO ok they don't count as " good guys " anymore but they were from the Top ten. Apart from them one more will die for sure, my guess is either Connie or Jean or Sasha or maybe all of them. After them Mikasa has the greatest chances to die or Eren. I just can't Picture Armin dying somehow. I mean he is not a fighter he is a strategist. That ofc doesn't mean he won't participate in bettles but still... The only way i think it would be suited to die would be sacrificing himself saving someone important and staying true to the words he said to Annie before selecting their branches, when he told her that even though it wouldn't be nice dying sometimes you hahe to. Although i still deem it possible that Armin is narrating the story to his Children/ granchildren about how his friends died to save humanity. Eren from the other is the one WHO gets to fight all the strong opponents, so he might nd up dying in the end saving humanity and giving the chance to Armin to fulfill his dream, even though i would like him to survive till the finale. As for Mikasa, the only was i can imagine her dying is protecting Eren, representing that even the strongest main characters can die. Historia IMO can't and won't die.

I believe that Erwin will die, but he will be rememberd as the person WHO eventually lead humanity to it's greatest victory. If he survives i expect him either to travel to the outside world or changing the system of the government from monarchy to democracy. Hange might die but IDK. As for Levi, i think h deserves to Live through the end of this and explore the outside world.
