I'm hoping that absolutely doesn't happen. Unless Isayama can really work some narrative magic, if Reiner is portrayed as surviving multiple detonations happening mere inches away from his head, then that will very much harm my suspension of disbelief.

As a reader, if Reiner is portrayed as surviving, I will be asking myself, "ok, if Reiner is able to magically survive multiple explosions mere inches away from his head, explosions that are portrayed as big enough and powerful enough to blow apart armor and in the last panel blow the eyes out from the inside, then when the hell am I supposed to take a threat to Reiner's life seriously?"
