Me: So, the plot armor affects everyone from the 104th except Marco? And I guess Franz, and Tom, and everyone else who was assigned to Eren and Armin's team during the Battle for Trost just forgot to put on their plot armor before the battle? And don't think I didn't notice how Zeke managed to hit everyone in Squads Dirk, Klaus, and Marlene, who were all using their 3DM Gear with his baseball-rock-throwing technique, while miraculously missing Levi, who was standing still, Isayama!

The only reason I'm giving this chapter a (relatively high, in my opinion) rating of 7 is because Zeke managed to make baseball awesome. To be fair, Erwin wasn't referring to the 104th with the "surviving forces" sentence. He's referring to the horse-holding recruits who came in post-uprising. Right now I don't think he knows who (if anyone, beyond Eren) is alive in Shiganshina.

As to the rock throwing, I think the problem is not that Zeke missed Levi; he was aiming at specific locations with the first shots (i.e. at squads Dirk, Klaus, and Marlene) and by the time he went for general destruction Levi was off the roof. The problem is that everyone except Levi went forward (surely hold one squad in reserve?). At that moment all their shirts turned red.

I'm actually hoping Hange is dead. Not because of any dislike but it means at least one main character is actually dead.

On the plus side there's only one group of potential cannon-fodder left. Things have to reach a climax pretty soon.

I think it could be important that Eren is now on the wall, and able to see everything that's going on. If that doesn't manage to trigger something in is psyche,. ..
