Wow. Just wow. This chapter was great. What I liked most about it was Levi's thought process and how he ultimately chose to save Armin over Erwin. Although he was absolutely positive that Erwin is an asset that they cannot afford to lose, at that moment when Erwin was delirious and raised his hand as if he was talking to his teacher, Levi knew that that guy is spent. He's worn out to the core and very, very tired - he already made up his mind to sacrifice his life with the charge that happened a while back. The burden of being commander and the symbol of hope for his people is no doubt something that wears you out. It's interesting to think that it's somewhat of a cruel act to bring Erwin back to this world - he's done, and most likely he doesn't want to return (hell, I wouldn't).

It was also a wise decision on Levi's part to pick Armin because Armin has the potential to surpass Erwin and he has the ambition to carry on until the very end because he desperately wants to see the ocean. I dunno 'bout Erwin, but aside from the basement he's so curious about (as am I), he's just exhausted.

Still, after all that I'm kinda disappointed that a person was brought back to life. I thought it was impactful the way Armin gave up his life for the team. This definitely reduces the impact.

As for Bertolt, I dunno why but I actually sort of felt bad for him when he was killed. But whatever, adios. Next is you, Reiner. If you escape death just ONE more time (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
