Eradicate Us wrote: Eren and Mikasa in prison. I do understand that this punishment is necessary for both of them. What they did was basically treason. I'm also disappointed that they acted the way they did. They didn't even acknowledge Erwin's importance (I thought it would have been more logical for at least Eren especially to want both saved with the same serum, since Eren cares about all his comrades and doesn't want any of them to die, so that part where he doesn't even acknowledge Erwin felt out of character). Mikasa was especially out of line (and out of character, since she's more mature than Eren and would normally even try to keep him in line in a situation like that). Plus, they never actually apologized (unless I'm missing something). But I don't necessarily know if I should blame them so much for their actions. Maybe I should blame Isayama instead for character derailment (which may be a disservice to fans).

I don't think it's character derailment. Their close friend just 'died', they were completely devastated by that, then they find out he isn't dead and there's still hope. Of course they'd act irrationally like that, and only be focused on the thought of saving Armin. People do let their feelings get the better of them sometimes, no matter how mature they are. They are still kids after all. I believe what Isayama portrayed in that chapter was raw human emotion.

But back to this chapter; what questions came up for me were the same as some here. Whether Eldians were the only ones who can become Titans. I too though, that means the Marley can't become Titans? Asians can't either? And the major one, does this mean Ackermans can't become Titans either? Well the first two ones were answered pretty much. I'm confused about the Eldians, they were originally Titans but became human? Grisha also implied that the Marley heard history wrong and the Eldians only became Titans to help humanity prosper. The Marley included. Or maybe I read it wrong. Well, our new mystery character at the moment is Kruger. I'm anxious to hear more about him. And if Eren now has all his father's memories he would be able to use the coordinate now.

On a side note I also wondered whether Grisha's parents are still alive. Eren would have more blood related family left after all. Maybe they'll make an appearance later.

We did get confirmation that Grisha was a way better brother than he ever was as a father. I'm not too sure he really cared about Eren as more than a tool as well.
