When one writes\films a good story - one have to presrnt readers\viwers with a notion. An epic notion. A horrifying notion. An exciting notion. In short - somthing we will look forward to (so we will keep reading\watching). So, if one present the idea of fire-breathing dargons that destroy everything in their path in the first season of GOT, then of coure- few season later- they will do just that. So: if we are being presented with the possibility of the rumbling, then a few dozens chapters after that: its exactly what we will get. Most of the SnK readers were waiting for the Rumbling to happen? I don't think any of us asked "Will the Rumbling take place?" but "How will it take place?". The Rumbling was "mentionned" the first time around the Female Titan arc, right after they discovered the Wall Titan, Armin said : "The Titans of the wall are here for a century, they might want to have a walk". It was intended as a joke, but it was the first time in the story the possibility of the Wall Titans being freed was mentionned.

And it was mentionned later with the cave revelation, when we learned to reason of the existence of the Wall Titans. This time, "Wall Titans being freed" received an official name : the Great Rumbling.

And later, during Marley and Final arc, the Rumbling has been mentionned so many times that it was totally evident. As an example, long before chapters 116 and the following ones came out, I already said that there was going to be some final battle including the people of Paradise and Marley, and that the Great Rumbling (or the Small Rumbling with only the Titans of Shiganshina) would take place during this battle. However, I just imagined that this battle was going to take place near the shores of Paradise (or at least, not inside the walls), and that they were going to meet Marley with the Wall Titans already liberated at their sides. Umm.. so, Im sorry, but it's not very clear from your answer (at least from me): Do you agree or not with my idea about the art that is story telling? ;)
