I agree with you about Sasha. At this point, if she died, it wouldn't really mean anything since she hasn't had a heavy presence in the manga since the Clash of the Titans arc. That's really my main problem with her, if I'm being honest: she's not a bad character, but she's been utterly wasted ever since Isayama decided not to kill her. If he decided not to kill her, he should have just had her leave the military or something, since he had no other plans for her.

Yeah, the original Squad Levi is a complicated matter for me. On the one hand, I think they were somewhat interesting characters, and Isayama did a good job of making them feel like true additions to the cast, but on the other hand, I could see their deaths coming from a mile away. I totally agree, though, that Eld and Gunther were wasted. They didn't get anywhere near as much time to shine as Petra and Oluo.
