JD, just out of curiosity, and it might not be a simple answer, but who do you think is "critical" and why?

For instance, Erwin was critical to the story because like Levi says, they wouldn't have made it this far without him but you know, now he's just someone who didn't live to see his dreams fulfilled.

I know I might catch some hate but I don't think Levi is really critical anymore. He's just a lonely man who temporarily set back Zeke and that's it, he's just an ODMG running on fumes at this point. The story can proceed without him, I mean, what would he do when he sees the ocean or the homeland, "grrrr, I would find this more interesting if these stupid brats weren't here with me. Grrr."
