This was the ONE thing I didn't want to see. I don't think that was unreasonable. And if anything, Connie or Levi should've been the one to die in this chapter. The former because he has contributed even less to the story and because it'd have offered greater weight to Sasha's fatal mistake, and the latter because we know this guy's gonna die anyway and as the best Paradis soldier, that's a big deal.

I don't want to follow this story if Sasha isn't part of it. And I'm furious that this is gonna get into the anime. The story is done. It's over, it is irrelevant what happens next as far as I'm concerned. Complete waste of time for something I knew was gonna suck. I didn't feel anything reading 106. I mostly felt resentment, and I still strongly believe Isayama did himself no favors with this stunt. Like do I even care what happens with Annie at this point?

No.

What else is there for me to offer? How about my feeling that because Isayama didn't put any stronger emphasis on everyone's connection with Sasha aside from Connie's, which went as far as showing them as a comedic duo and not much farther.....with only Armin as an exception......he only succeeded at cheapening the entire deal? Would've been easier to stomach if it was a conscious act of self-sacrifice on Sasha's part. I stand firm that she should've lived to the final fight, but seriously just anything but THIS.

Everyone keeps saying the two girls were close..........How? The last chapter may have confirmed that Mikasa did in fact care about Sasha, but why this not seen more often if we're gonna get a scene where Mikasa sits alone mourning her? Where was this connection in the last seventy chapters? We spend so much time on exposition and nowhere near enough on character development.

This is what I want more of, not of Reiner's soap opera or of a relationship between Eren and Mikasa that rings so hollow on Eren's side of the fence.
