Check my comment on chapter 77; here :
Let's assume, he was able to back up the content of his brain in the titan head or nervous system (which is possible, because he released the signal he was tasked to).
Now, what's the actual situation ?
1 - Human body
- human body is forcefully remove from the titan body (through the explosion),
- human body is utterly damaged... (and i doubt he can easily regenerate a brain outside of the titan body, or at least, there was no sign so far that he can )
2 - Titan body
- it suffered multiple explosion around the neck and in the head.
- It has not moved
- connection between both bodies are broken
(fiber around the eyes of the human body within the titan are gone, the head of human body is gone and the neck of titan body is half cut through the explosion),
So, we can assume, at least, that his human body is dying, if not already dead (no heart beat, no lung breathing, no vital function kept alive; since the brain and the central nervous system was destroyed).
And that the titan body is severely damaged too (he probably already has lost most of his ability to move, because of the explosion in the neck).
Also, it is realistic to consider that Reiner consciousness is caught inside the titan body... But might either be fading away, or at least not being really able to move the titan around or regenerate the human body that is torn apart and outside of the titan.
OKay make sense. Also, gotta ask, what do you think that Colossal Titan in the air? You think he's gonna crash then transform or just transform mid-air?
But Transform Mid-air or just crash into the ground then transform? because to be honest, the former would be do tremendous damage and almost nobody would escape that and likely to killed in its destructive radius of the whole district.
I suspect that's Bertolt's intention although I'm not sure cause I imagine he wouldn't want to risk Reiner. I'm not certain, I eagerly await the next chapter because I can't really figure out what's next.
You and me both pal, like I said this can go either way and anything can happen in Attack On Titan.
Considering we learn the rules of Isayama's world pretty much as we go, this does make the series hard to predict. Like, I really did believe Reiner was done for when those spears exploded near his head. But apparently somehow the armored titan let off a roar which defied all my expectations. And apparently now the Colossal Titan's going to be air dropped... I mean, at this point the only thing I'm not expecting is that one of the titan shifters will sprout wings and fly.
From your mouth to Isayama's ears...
That if Isayama ever find and read this thread on this wiki he would. xD
This plan was NOT designed to harm Reiner. On the contrary...
The point was that Reiner was an armored titan where Eren's titan is not. Also Reiner was knowing what was coming so he could protect himself even more through special armor for example, where Eren would have been taken by surprise.
Remember they want to take Eren alive, despise his titan control power. Or at least, not take the risk of loosing his control power, which is the key to many things.
Also, this attack is designed to take out all military force left behind the wall and around Reiner, which is of tactical value for the titan's shifters side.
And in case something would happen to Reiner, because of Eren, that would be a second chance to take Eren away, suppress the military force and even help Reiner.

Yeah but Reiner is dead since his head was blown off and now all there is left is Hange and Levi Squads and Eren in his Titan form. This Colossal Air Drop will cause all or most members in the Squads incapacitated/dead and perhaps wounded Eren to some extent but alive enough to be taken by the Beast Titan
