That could also explain why those two didn't die in satisfactory ways (Gross only got his face skinned alive before being eaten, while Fritz was implied to have been a Karma Houdini). Also, since those two, like Yelena, aren't Eldians, that might also be a sign that the ED can't manifest as someone with Titan powers. The problem is that only 6-7 chapters are left,which means that it's very difficult to reveal the "final enemy",even Eren who is supposed to be the MC,will not be given enough POV to understand what he is thinking,his motives,so probably the remaining chapters will focus on the final battle against Eren,and the "new world" after the battle There may be a little more than 7 chps remaining. Along with Isayama estimating "about 5%", I did the math and calculated that if these 129 chps are 95% of the story, then there are 7 chps remaining, with the story ending at chp 136, which would've been this december's chap had we not missed last month.

While 7 chps sounds like a decent length to end this, I'm guessing we're getting more than that considering his wording, as there's no reason to estimate if it was lower than 7 chps, as its pretty much an amount you can count on fingers lol besides, I'm sure he also would've been more straightforward like other authors are around this point and telling us when EXACTLY the series concludes.
