Ok. This was a bombshell chapter. Probably my favorite one, since we got a heck ton of details. For starters - wtf..... Marco's death was more brutal than I thought. No more hoping for him to be alive, although I feel a little bit  better because Isayama actually revealed his death. Marco was a kind, patient, and calm leader, even if it was for a short time. To see him start to beg, and panic, and cry, well that drove me to tears. At least some of the really stupid theories like (oh, it was somebody else's body) are put to rest. Marco's death was brutal, but it was settling to know that Isayama cared about him enough to at least make his death "important"

Second of all - Reiner seemed to be the driving force to kill Marco. Bertolt seemed supprised, don't you think? Bertolt shouted his name in question and exclaimation. Also, Annie probably wouldn't have taken Marco's gear unless Reiner hadn't pressured her about her father and being a warrior. I get that they "had" to do it, but something still bothers me. '''At the end of Marco's death scene, Reiner states "Hey... Why... Marco.... He's being eaten..." with tears in his eyes'''. Now this bothers me because, HE KNOWS WHAT HE FRIGGIN DID TO THE POOR KID!!! Or does he? That is one question that Isayama has left in my head: Why did Reiner react like that!? Not to mention that annie and bertolt look over at reiner, and bertolt shudders at reiner's reaction. Maybe this happened because of Reiner's mental unstableness (trying to be a warrior and a soilder)? I dunno, you guys can speculate with that.

Also, that scene where bertolt says "Lets.. just end it!" and it shows annie crying, reiner's reaction, and (oh god ;-;) Marco crying. THE FRICKING FEELS GODDAMIT!!!!!

Third of all - That cliffhanger is so good!!! Will bertolt smash everything (killing everyone?) Is reiner alive? We'll just have to wait.. ANOTHER MONTH!!!! WAAHHHHHHH

Btw, in the anime (i was scanning the episodes just now for everytime that marco is mentioned dead), When jean said "he died alone" (1. i was like B** SH**) it cut Reiner and Bertolt out of the picture. It only showed Sasha, Connie, and Armin's Reactions... COINCIDENCE!? Probably.

Finally, I have a question. Do you think that any of the other characters (squad levi) including Jean will find out about how Marco died? (I really want Jean to go bad-ass on one of the trio members #fanfictions ;) ) But Isayama hopeffullly won't let all of the characters think that Marco died alone.
