I think levi will use the titan serum on armin, because he's the narrator and because erwin looked like he was entrusting him with the SC , and i hope erwin dies , i never liked him


Everyone thinking Levi will survive the 17 titans (+ the doggy one) rushing at him when he actually has only 2 blades left (the ones he holds) and probably only enough gas to kill a few titans only.

Chances are Levi is already dead, or Eren & the survivors go up the wall to witness him getting eaten by a titan.

I'd say they'll witness him dying, and ape titan escapes along the doggy titan while the other titans get killed by Mikasa / Eren / Connie.

If Levi gets eaten serum will be gone too, leaving Erwin & Armin to a certain death given their injuries.

I really hope Levi won't die though, it's possible Eren throws some rocks at the titans about to eat him for example. However given how far he is to the wall chances are Mikasa & regular soldiers won't make it in time to save Levi, it depends if there are some horses left alive on Levi's side and how close to the wall Levi will manage to get with his remaining gas.

I thought and I was convinced that Armin will never die since he's been the acting narrator in the anime series and he will still be replacing Erwin as the commander. Too bad I was wrong. Roasted Armin is on the plate.
Sigh, I always assumed that Armin will outlive everyone tbh, fucking hell.

Is this the day I google is it possible to survive 2nd degree full body burn? Gosh. edit: Ah, no, he's down to muscles. Rip Armin, at least your death had a Meaning unlike everyone else's.
2nd Degree burns? I had that before Armind does not have that he got 4 or higher of degree burns he's black and Why does the chapter look like that

This chapter was so sad, let's hope that reiner and bert are caught and won't try anything else.

Me (last chapter, when Armin said he and Eren would "surely defeat Bertolt"): oh no, I know what this means, they are going to pull off some "power of friendship" shit and defeat Bertolt. So typical of Shounen. I expected more, I'm dissapointed with this series.

Me (one month later):....well fuck.

In all honesty, Bertolt is my favorite character, and I didn't like that after handing their asses over to the Survey Corps for several chapters, he was going to be quickly defeated simply because Armin had an idea.

Then this chapter came and realized just how wrong I was. To think that he would actually kill Armin ARMIN before being defeated.

I think the shifters will be okay, I think next chapter will either be about Levi and Zeke, or it will be a flashback chapter that will show the Warriors backstories.

I corrected myself. For all we know, he has no skin tissue anymore, lol, he might be pink, not black. ;p

The thing is, before the chapter was release the editor for snk twitted that fans should reread the manga from volume 1 to the latest chapter, for it to be more intense, this tells me that he is really dead and they wanted it to be impactful as possible, unless its a cheap shock value tactics which would be really disappointing.

Also does titan Armin sounds realistic to you? He is not the fighter type as well. I think he is dead, if he some how got revive after this, it will be even worst than Reiner asspull. tbh

I think he is truly dead, the fact that Hanji is still alive strengthen that claim, since they need a character with a brain for the strategies in later arc. Armin as a titan shifter? I just can't see that happening, also story wise that wouldn't make sense to turn your strategist into a fighter, that doesn't fit Armin character at all.

I could be totally wrong though, hopefully not.

I didn't expect this. After reading this chapter I felt devastated, because of course Armin is my favorite character. While I was really impressed with the All of the scouts I couldn't enjoy it because of the emotional turmoil. Still, I have to talk about the good things before I start venting about the best characters demise. Seeing the determination and growth of all the 104th scouts was a sight to behold. Connie was very dependable this chapter, not only did he nail Reiner with a thunder spear, but he also tended to his precious potato girl which was nice to see. Hopefully Sasha and Jean are alright. Mikasa really stood out as well. We all know she is a worry wart when it comes to Eren and Armin, so I was more amazed by her trust in those two, than her actual attack. We already know she's a beast so we knew she was going to get Reiner. Still, I'm happy to see that Hange is alive and well, now all that's left is Zeke. Than they can take a look inside that basement.

Now that I talked about this chapter I'm going to brag about the best character in the series. From the moment he appeared in the first episode, Armin Arlert caught my eye. Despite the fact that he was outnumber and being bullied, he still stood up and talked back to them despite being afraid. Hell, he even called them out and made them look stupid! Not only that, but he has his own set of beliefs and convictions that he's willing to die for. I'm not going to go on about his tactician skills, because if people don't know this guy is a hell of strategist by now than there is no hope for them.

What I want to talk about is his bravery. There are a lot attack on titan fans who admire Eren, Mikasa, and Levi, while viewing Armin as a weak coward. Well... I'll be blunt, to those of you with this view of him. FUCK OFF! this guy is physically the weakest soldier, yet he joined the SC, the military branch with the highest death rate. Think about it, soldiers like Mikasa have at least a 70 percent chance of returning alive every time she leaves the wall due to her strength and skill(Those ackerman genes). Guys like Armin on the other hand have 10 to 20 percent chance of returning alive when they leave the walls for an expedition.

Just the mere fact that Armin decided to join such a suicidal branch despite being somewhat frail takes huge balls. Hell, he could of went to the garrison and worked his way to the military police, but that's not what he wanted. He had a dream to see the ocean and he pursued it to the bitter end. That's why Eren told him he was the bravest, and in this chapter Armin proved that he was truly badass. The plan he came up with was gutsy and brilliant. I was proud and sad at the same time. Watching his character develop from a low self esteem child to a proud capable man was a pleasure.

I thinK Armin is dead I dont think he come back as Titan shifter That make his heroic sacrfice pointless. Well I think reiner is incapacitated or grieviously injured don t think he is dead he was still alive when they blast him of his titan form. Eren and his surviving At least manage to defeat Bertold and Reiner whihc make Arim sacrifice worth it.

Next chapter probably switch to Levi and Zeke

The other day I stuck my hand in my hot air oven that was at 150c for just a fraction of a second. It hurt like hell.

I cannot imagine a more painful way to die.

I'm happy that they finally seem to have beaten those 2 Titans. They've caused so much pain and suffering to the human race, that they deserve whatever comes their way.

It's great to see someone who admires Armin this much such as you. He's not my favorite but I also admire his tactical genius and courageous determination in pursuing his dream. From the beginning up to this latest chapter, I've considered him someone even braver than anyone could ever be despite of his physical weaknesses. It has been hinted that he could even surpass Erwin in mind and tactics. Too bad at such an early age, he died. At least he died an honorable death where everyone can be proud of. There's a reason why the chapter is called "brave", this clearly refers to him for he just displayed utter bravery in performing the very task risking his life and not asking anybody else to do the job. I'd go facepalm to anyone who calls him a pussy, a coward or useless. It makes me wonder if they're just trolling or just blind and retarded to see how useful he is from the very start til the very end of his life.

My favorite character is most likely dead, in a super gruesome way. What a week.
I'm almost refusing to accept this. Armin, I wish you could have seen the ocean, rest in peace the best person of the manga... here's to hoping the story can still go on in an enjoyable way.
But if the Manga-Gods are listening, please make it so that Levi can give him the serum...

Armin dying is probably the best way for the author to handle this situation imo. Not that I want to see him die but saving him would most likely involve some BS and we just started getting back to what made AoT great in the first place so I hope they don't ruin it. This chapter had those feels, Armin basically acknowledging that he was going to lie to Eren was deep. Never though he would go out like that (which is one of the worst deaths I think I have seen in the series).

The only way the titan serum would work on Armin is if he was just burnt and was still barely breathing, we know Erwin is still alive they didn't show him die on purpose, levi already considered giving the serum to Erwin. The problem isn't only that Armin was burnt fleshless, but he fell over 50m which is roughly 160 ft, even if he was somehow alive after being torched, he would be immidietly killed on the impact of that fall. We have yet to see a titan serum bring someone back to life. Armin is 100% dead the titan serum wouldn't do anything since his brain is dead. Titan powers are stored in your spinal cord. well after that fall armins spinal cord is probably scattered to bits all over the ground. I loved the character but its time we face the reality. hes gone folks.

too upset to write anything comprehensible. Hoped that earlier spoilers weren't the whole thing, however ...

Love to see Hanji, though.

Yes...Me too. I knew she wasn't dead because we didn't see a corpse and it was too sudden. I felt relieved when I saw her.
As for Sasha, I don't want her to die! I also don't think she will. It was a head injury, so I think she is simply unconscious.
Armin...There is no way he is alive...On wiki, it is confirmed he is dead. I had to reread the chapter in another place where the translations were on the bottom of each page, which meant the scans were in better quality, and then I've seen his corpse and how he was thrown so far away. He is dead, I am sure he is.
I don't care what their ideals are, Bertolt, Reiner and Annie are horrible terrorists. Words cannot even describe my feelings towards them. All of those that supported them. Zeke is the chief of those terrorist. ISIS has its own ideals and they think they're right, but they're horrible and I want them all wiped out, and this is how I feel towards this trio. Reiner is dead, Bertolt is captured, and so is Annie. I want them to be tortured. I want Bertolt to never reunite with Annie. He has no right to fall in love...He has no right to love anybody. He has no right to act or feel humans' emotions...
And Armin once trusted them...Armin...I will never forget him...

Um...because he's a titan. Armin is a human, he can't shapeshift. It was possible (even if it was by little chance) for Reiner to live, because titans can survive with thir brains blown off, so he transmitted his brain into his weak point which wasn't hit. This is why he survived.
As for Armin, he's a human. He can't transform. Even if they seem invincible, they are actually very vulnerable. Armin was prepared to die....
My.. His last thought...
Guess he'll never see the ocean ever...Just like Erwin, he died without fulfilling his dream...So close yet so far away...

My respect for Armin has gone through the roof, more than the height of the colossal titan. That plan is feasible and actually worked, and Eren 3DMG-ing Bertolt reminds me of the first volume of the manga.

Hanji is a surprise, I am glad she is alive and helped with another thunder spear. Finally, both Armor and Colossal Titan are down

As much as I would like to see Armin live, I think that the story will now be more interesting if he is actually dead now.

Even if he uses it on somebody else, it will be Erwin. He doesn't even know what is going on there, and Armin is dead. Even if he wasn't, and even if Levi magically defeated Zeke in seconds and flew there, he won't have time to inject Armin.
Let's not forget that Armin is a human, and he's actually physically weak. Not only that, but with his small body he endured getting burned alive, and when he finally let go, not being able to endure it anymore, he fell down out of a none-crushing height. He is dead...This is sure...

Are there actually people that think Armin is weak just because he's physically weak??
Are there still people at this age that believe physical strength surpasses mental strength??
Not only emotionally, but also mentally strong. I admired and loved him so much. He was one of my favorite characters with Hanji san, Jean and Sasha.
My...He really is gone...I still can't actually imagine it...He is dead...His corpse...All burnt up, and on top of that fell from a bone-crushing height...Add all of this up to the fact that he's physically weak...

Yeah he has been my favorite since day one and I just want to rage when idiots run their mouths and say he is a useless crybaby. It's funny because before Armin, I was never fond of physically weak or timid characters, but for some reason he proved be different than other anime characters with similar faults. The first real arc, the Trost arc was his time to shine. That was when he first showed us what he was capable of when he came with that strategy to take out the titans who had invaded the gas supply room. Not only that but he stopped a rampaging Titan Eren. Yes, he was often scared, but I would be to if I lacked physical prowess and signed up for the most dangerous military unit. However he still persevered and made a difference, despite being scared. I remember when Jean was unconscious and vulnerable to titans, Armin defended him. The guy lured Annie out, uncovered the identities of the Armored and Colossal titans, and he has distracted Bertholdt twice now. I can go on and on about this incredible little guy, but then I'd be talking forever. But its nice to see people who appreciate his character as much as I do even if he isn't your favorite. You're right, I honestly believed if he lived he would surpass Erwin and Hange, when it came to mental prowess.

Not only that, but he has his own set of beliefs and convictions that he's willing to die for. I'm not going to go on about his tactician skills, because if people don't know this guy is a hell of strategist by now than there is no hope for them.

What I want to talk about is his bravery. There are a lot attack on titan fans who admire Eren, Mikasa, and Levi, while viewing Armin as a weak coward. Well... I'll be blunt, to those of you with this view of him. FUCK OFF! this guy is physically the weakest soldier, yet he joined the SC, the military branch with the highest death rate. Think about it, soldiers like Mikasa have at least a 70 percent chance of returning alive every time she leaves the wall due to her strength and skill(Those ackerman genes). Guys like Armin on the other hand have 10 to 20 percent chance of returning alive when they leave the walls for an expedition.

Just the mere fact that Armin decided to join such a suicidal branch despite being somewhat frail takes huge balls. Hell, he could of went to the garrison and worked his way to the military police, but that's not what he wanted. He had a dream to see the ocean and he pursued it to the bitter end. That's why Eren told him he was the bravest, and in this chapter Armin proved that he was truly badass. The plan he came up with was gutsy and brilliant. I was proud and sad at the same time. Watching his character develop from a low self esteem child to a proud capable man was a pleasure.

"People who can't sacrifice anything, can't hope to change anything" - Armin Arlert

Last but not least I hope Bertholdt dies a slow painful death.


Are there actually people that think Armin is weak just because he's physically weak??
Are there still people at this age that believe physical strength surpasses mental strength??
Not only emotionally, but also mentally strong. I admired and loved him so much. He was one of my favorite characters with Hanji san, Jean and Sasha.
My...He really is gone...I still can't actually imagine it...He is dead...His corpse...All burnt up, and on top of that fell from a bone-crushing height...Add all of this up to the fact that he's physically weak...
Gosh...He's the strongest..The bravest...Wow...
Unfortunately yes, there are still dumb assess who think this my friend. Which is sad because a man with mental strength can much go further in life than someone with only physical. I can't believe he's gone either, I truly can't process it. When I read this chapter it was the first time I shed a tear in a long time. He was burnt beyond recognition and he fell from 50 meters in the sky. It would be unbelievable for him to survive that. However, if Isayama did some type of asspull and he managed to survive, than I would be ecstatic! Though I'm being biased because if it was almost anyone else I'd be like what the hell! He should have totally died! So I guess that's a bit unfair of me lol

Probably Armin will be brought to life by what's in the basement, since they are in shiganshina, right? And also in the basement there's probably serum... I think.

Holy.

Damn, I was in shock for a bit, but now I'm just sad for Armin. He was such a great character. I can't wait for the moment when Eren finally gets to see the ocean for both himself and Armin. The only way Armin still survives this is if Eren can use the coordinate ability and then Levi comes with the titan serum. But Levi is so far away, Armin looks like he's gone already, and it'd ruin the impact of this chapter.

Odds are that this is the very last chapter with Armin :/

Oh God pls no

He's already overpowered enough as he is. I'd rather he used it on someone who really needs it like Sasha


Even if he uses it on somebody else, it will be Erwin. He doesn't even know what is going on there, and Armin is dead. Even if he wasn't, and even if Levi magically defeated Zeke in seconds and flew there, he won't have time to inject Armin.
Let's not forget that Armin is a human, and he's actually physically weak. Not only that, but with his small body he endured getting burned alive, and when he finally let go, not being able to endure it anymore, he fell down out of a none-crushing height. He is dead...This is sure...
Don't get me wrong: I'm absolutely not in the camp that thinks Armin is still alive. However big the amount of plot amor the main cast might have had up until now was, I don't think Isayama would be stupid enough to ruin all the emotional impact of Armin's sacrifice by having him come back as a shifter. Plus no matter which way you look at it, a charred human being who fell from 60 meters and landed on a roof simply cannot be alive.

However, I don't think Erwin will be getting the serum either, despite being probably alive bleeding out somewhere, and for lots of different reasons. Levi having his hands full with the titans Zeke sent on his ass, for one; by the time he's done with them, it's pretty safe to say that he'll be out of blades, gas and energy, and the only available shifter in proximity will have had all the time in the world to successfully escape. Another reason being that Erwin's wound is most likely fatal and that each passing second brings him a little closer to death. Assuming that the no-name soldier finds him (which I'm 100% sure he will), there won't be any means for him to transport the Commander safely back inside Shiganshina (lest they climb the wall), since the first entrance to the district seems to have been sealed by Eren during this chapter:

And if we wanna get into a slightly more "meta" level of reasoning, then my gut feeling is that Isayama meant for Erwin not to survive this arc: just like with Armin this month, I feel like the irony of Erwin giving up on the only thing he put above humanity laying down his life for mankind when the answers to all of his lifelong questions are right in the palm of his hand was too beautiful and his sacrifice too climactic for the author to piss all over it and let him live, though it wouldn't upset me nearly as much as Armin's possible survival would. On top of that, Hanji being confirmed alive indicates that even if Erwin was to bite it in the next chapter, his designated successor is there to take command in his place.

I don't know I just feel like if the serum is to be used at all in this arc, Erwin won't be one of the possible candidates which would really only leave Sasha, since her injuries are bad enough that she would need more than just first aid treatment in order to escape death

I must say, out of all characters I like Armin's development the best. Followed by Krista and Levi. Armin started as a weakling who had no confidence or even knowledge in his own ability and later he commanded a god, damn squad. One thing Armin never was and that was a coward. Brave people are not those who never fear, but those who stand up to their fear. But in fighting his fears he became less afraid.
So as far as character creation goes IMO Armin is the best out of the main trio, if not the whole series. And he may not be my favorite character, but I really like seeing him change.
That being said, I am pretty sure Armin will survive. The similarity between Erwin and him goes way beyond the blond hair. Especially in this situation. They both went into a suicide battle, hoping their best friend will kill the enemy. They both sacrificed a dream very important to them in order to do that. They are both the strategists of the scouts and would sacrifice people and morale to succeed. Both of them will certainly not die. So the reason I think Armin will live is because between Armin and Erwin Levi will choose Armin. Remember when he was all nostalgic listening to them and then looking back at them by the end of the chapter? I wondered what was that about, and it's clear now. I thought he would sacrifice himself to save them, but it seems he will sacrifice Erwin. Which in a way is his own sacrifice too... Levi will once again be given a choice he has to learn not to regret. His whole story is about choices and regret. It seems fitting.
And come on guys He is not gonna get killed by a titan that is not also a character, and all 4 of them are down at this point.
I only wonder how is he gonna make it in time. Probably realizing he has no way of fighting anymore, he'll flee? Or the others will go to him? It'd be cool if Armin is the colossal, given that the colossal was the one to "kill" him.

One good thing even though all the shifters are still probably alive they can't shift anymore they all shifted already and been injured gravely so let's see what happens next they may look over the wall see Levi and meet with him try to kill Zeke or go to the basement and find out everything

I only want to Reiner finally be dead (he ha being saved by plot armor alot of times, which is annoying in my opinion since the nature of his manga but well, hope this is now his end finally).

lol, of all the epic forms that Armin would be killed, this one is very silly in my opinion xD

and wow, Eren in human form with his 3D equipment gave me good memories of the beggining of this serie (when the colossal titan appeared near of the wall while Eren is at the top, very iconic in that time).

Fantastic chapter and the best overall the ones that came out lately.
Seeing all 3 being badass was fangasm. Also loving that Isaya has the balls to kill of a main character unlike some other Mangakas!

Random survivor probably finds Erwin still alive and gets Levi's attention to inject it into him. Then it's time to rejoin the others where Bertholt will be Titan food for Erwin. Battle ends as Zeke escapes to regrow his arms. Hange, Eren, Levi, Mikasa and the others can then enter the basement without interruption... and find something anti-climactic. Next part of the story would probably shift to this "Village" Reiner and Bertholt kept talking about - maybe Annie comes around to finally spill the beans on their whole agenda.
