This is interesting!

I think the lack of deaths is because the story is just going slow as to contribute to the overall plot in some way, hopefully. If that's not the case it just means Isayama is screwing around. Also, he knows the feel he captured, he's not letting it get away.

I think Erwin or Levi will die. Erwin just seems like an expendable character to me: he's brave and determined, and people like that always die in the series. I expect him to die in a manner similar to how he almost did when his arm was eaten off, and I'm still surprised he didn't there. Whichever way he will die will probably help humanity in some way, as characters who sacrifice themselves usually do contribute something.

Unless this is anime-only (can't be too careful), I predict that some major character will die and they'll bring up Armin's element of sacrificing yourself to change something.
