Outer world and freedom are fine for but we have yet to see what precisely this arc will tell us. But wasn't the "Return to Shiganshina arc" name chosen when only one chapter of that arc was released? I don't think people would know perfectly about what would have happened in that arc, same now.

That's why I think we should choose a name as vague as possible based on what we already know what's going to happen, worst case scenario we could always change it later. It was very clear since the beginning that they were going to Shiganshina because they were making the preparations for the expedition, and since the end of chapter 70 we saw Zeke, Reiner and Bertolt waiting for them, so anyone could guess what was about to happen.

But in this case nothing is clear, and choosing a vague name that will surely have to be changed later just for the sake of not waiting another month to name it appropriately doesn't seem like a smart move in my opinion. So we just leave it nameless? Choosing a name like The Outside/Outer World arc, even if it's vague, wouldn't be so wrong since the manga is finally starting to focus on what's going on outside the walls of Paradis, and even if we go back to the walls and stay there until the very end the outer wall will still play a big role no matter how the story turns out. In my opinion I don't think we'll have a clearer mind after just another chapter or two (not enough I think), but you guys are definitely more experienced than me here so do what you think is better.

I so wish Isayama would release official arc names...
