Or maybe he confused the order of his script, because why is this a flashback timed for this moment when what I assume is the final, final battle is coming? It's time to wrap up the plot that involves stewing over Eren's intentions and loyalties. That includes Mikasa's constant fixation on him. I'm not sure what you mean by "exploiting". I find any chapter including Sasha to be a plus. Sure, it showed her death panel again, but we got a whole half a chapter with her and the other Levi Squad members being the lighthearted goofballs we fell in love with all the way back in the Training Corps/Trost arcs. Whoa wait, I just noticed this chapter with this Sasha flashback came out a full year after Chapter 111, the last time we saw Sasha in a flashback and the same chapter her killer was royally chewed out for taking her life.

Isayama really is an a-hole. He was so waiting all that time to fully exploit Sasha's loss, it's no wonder it got so many people angry. Don't think he's gone so far to play up any other single character's demise as he has Sasha's. I refer everyone to my "broken dynamic" post in the discussions when I say why that sucks on top of the others who bit the dust.
