Okay, I know there's already around a hundred comments and no one is going to read this, but I thought it was important information to take into account. I watched this documentary about the aftermath of a bombing, and one person recalled how a figure approached them, some time after the actual bombing, who had been charred beyond recognition as a person. However, they were able to walk, and had presumably wandered for about an hour before coming upon the man telling the story, and only then did they collapse and die. There are also many, many stories of people falling from great heights and surviving, or at least making it a few hours before dying in the hospital. My point is, the human body can survive A LOT of trauma, beyond what you would think possible, for longer than should make sense, even if only for an hour or so. Armin surviving for what, 20 minutes, if only his skin had been burned off, would be excrutiating and horrifying but certainly within the realm of possible.

Well, unfortunately this anecdote is pretty much irrelevant because we aren't talking about a real person, but about a fictional character whose life and fate are not controlled by the laws of our world but by the will of the author. Depending on his mood, Isayama can make Armin survive being thrown into the Sun or die by being hit by a feather. Personally, I think the chances that he plans to have Armin survive after all of what he did to him are virtually zero.
