Hi. I  have been reading this series for like a year no after going through the anime. I loved this chapter it simultaniously felt good for Bertholt to come into his own and not(with the consequences).

While the whole regenerating of his head is a bit, convenient. I think some interesting things will come from it. This whole last resort is kinda weird. Note if this to use a Chess term, "Castling existed" why didn't other shifters we know of use it. One could argue they couldn't and you may be right but why couldn't they? Or perhaps more interestingly most titanshifters would rather die than use the resort Bertholt just used.

Indeed the last bits of info I want to say are these, the comment between Armin and Mikassa about Bertholt almost being like a different person. Perhaps this is a side effect of the Titan Ability. Perhaps it is just as much a physical but as well Mental change. This could be the reason why giving your mind to the titan body is so scary you coulld lose youself to its psychopathic gourging urges. This mental change could be the "nightmare" most titans and titanshifters go through and which causes them to eat and in fact the more the titanshifter shifts the more it starts to take over hence the reason the titanshifters developed or use the ability to give titan abilities to another. We saw what happened to Reiner I wonder if it is a sideeffect of shifting, if so that is very interesting.

If this is indeed the case it would explain what happened to Reiner, it would also make for a interesting situation and explain why Bertholt is acting the way he is as if Bertholt is taking over for a dead friend. Indeed his friend would almost be like he was dead.

Its interesting I don't remember if someone can take titanshifting from a dead person, if it was revealed I can't remember. This could have been a case of since I can't give this away yet before dying I will make myself a shell of myself.
