I really hope this is that one time Isayama displays the good taste to not keep us waiting. I mean, in some ways, the story has been building towards the moment of Levi and Zeke meeting with unexpected consequences.

We see Levi near the beginning being this damn near unstoppable force, his only setbacks being not achieving everything he would like to do because he's not in the right place at the right time, but every time he is it's barely a contest. Everyone and thing he has fought was significantly worse off for the experience. The only time he was sort of 'defeated' would be when Mikasa jumped the gun when he told her not to and he ended up getting injured in the process and even that was just apparently a sprained ankle. But otherwise we have never really gotten a sense of what it would really take to defeat him, he appears to be incredibly strong and capable even when compared to the two other Ackermans he has met.

Zeke, whether it's killing Mike Zacharius, mysteriously converting a village into dumb dumbs that he can apparently control, resolutely defeating Reiner and only getting slightly winded from the experience, or now almost single-handedly wiping out most of The Survey Corps through a combination of incredible power and cunning, it's hard to tell what could stop him.

In other words, the narrative has done a lot to portray these two characters as unstoppable forces (in contrast to all other characters) that have been on a collision course with each other for a very long time and who knows what will actually happen when they meet... It's exciting because the two unstoppable forces, only one will remain.
