Honestly, after thinking about it, even if Isayama didn't give chps 107-111 an arc name written down in them, it might still be safe to say they are still part of the Marley arc, which he himself probably considers them to be a part of after writtinf down the name a few times so he prob felt it was redundant. The truth is those chps still dwell on what happened in Marley, and are a solid aftermath of those events. In all those chps, it somehow pointed back to what happened in Marley, even after the retelling Armin more-or-less did in chp 106. Also, not that it means anything, but with the pattern Isayama established where every 2 arcs have the same number of chps, it always increased. So it makes sense that the marley arc has 21 chps over the 20 the season 3 arcs had. That pattern also helped me predict that this final arc would wrap up at the end of this year, which Isayama eventually verified too, between the season 4 teaser and his new years resolution. This is my train of thought on the matter, and I'm not saying I'm absolutely right, but it does help me make sense of the apparent trasition-arc issue we highlighted here lol
