I'm pretty sure most people in real life don't find themselves facing down the guilt of loving their comatose girlfriend's best friend.

Who loves early spoilers! I know I do Not even Levi's bromance rage could save Erwin, and so in the end it's Armin that gets to live thanks to the serum+chewing on Bert. I still think it's absolutely stupid that Armin survived but what can ya do.

Also Erwin's death for humanity was a fitting end to his character's arc. Armin's was a little gay.

Even when considering in-universe rules, he was totally cooked and dead.

I'm not sure how fast being burnt all over kills you. I know that you definitely die from it, of course, but I don't know if it's the sort of thing that would cause you to die in just a few minutes (which is the amount of time between Armin getting cooked and the present). Maybe it's possible he could still technically be alive, even if he's totally immobile and in the process of dying.

Maybe it's possible he could still technically be alive, even if he's totally immobile and in the process of dying. The problem is that he wasn't just superficially burnt all over, he was completely roasted in superheated steam inside and out, stripping all of his skin off. If his organs weren't boiled in their own fluids, his lungs would have been completely scorched and he would suffocate in seconds.

I don't give a drat about the logistics of it, it's a self-sacrifice in a series where characters are supposed to loving die when they are killed. Not only does this eat up a lot of the impact of the characters sacrifices, it's just lame as poo poo. This is also not to bring up there being another Titan shifter into a story where we already don't have a lot of answers about the ones who aren't immediately involved with Eren or his family. To top of it off with last chapter's nonsense of Reiner not being captured AGAIN and it makes these last two chapters some of the worst in the series. For a series that has garnered a reputation of having no characters of actual significance die this is not something it needed to be doing.

Honestly armins death was cool and he had a heartfelt sendoff, bringing him back just shits all over that. I mean I knew it was gonna happen like this but it still blows. RIP Eyebrows you were too good for this series

Does everyone gain the memories of a shifter upon consumption, or was that something special for the Reiss titan's memory powers? I really want to see the basement next chapter, but I fear it'll be Armin having a flashback of Bert Rein and Annie's past.

I wonder if, in the editor meeting(s) for this chapter, the decision to have Armin survive was just completely cynical due to his character popularity or if Isayama and/or the editor genuinely thought this was a good idea.

Armin will definitely get the steam ability, but I'm not sure if Bert's size is part of the package. I think this because Reiss turned into a huge colossal titan with Historia's serum, but there's no way he meant for Historia to grow 100 m tall and collapse the cave (Reiss also mentioned there was a reason he couldn't become a titan. Maybe there's a way to tell your titan physique?). I think your body's size is dependent on the human, kinda like how Ymir's titan remained the same after eating BRA's friend. And I don't think it's because he licked it instead of injected it since Zeke uses essentially magic to turn humans into titans. Sub Harrison fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Aug 6, 2016 |

IIRC, Reiss picked out Historia's serum because he believed it was the serum for the "strongest" titan, and he didn't understand what this meant. So while he didn't intend for Historia to grow 100 m tall and collapse the cavern, that is what would have happened. Ironically, this would have destroyed Eren before he could have been eaten.

If size was dependent on the person wouldn't there be "wild" titans taller than 20m?

I'm not sure what you guys are complaining about, that was fine? Are you just so against the concept of character revival at all that you preemptively call it bad? Because it was done pretty well here. Not gonna agree with Levis decision at the end and the reasoning the author gave for him but still overall done pretty well.

Like I could buy armin surviving the steam if he hadn't been portrayed as a flash-fried jerky person which in an even remotely realistic situation would have instantly killed him from the shock if not boiled the skin of his lungs and throat and made him unable to breathe, like it's so badly portrayed that even saying ~but anime~ doesn't stop it from being super ridiculous he didn't die instantly, especially given he had a perfect sendoff at that point Erwin surviving to that point just barely was way more reasonable It was just really poorly handled and that's what most people hate, not that anyone survived at all

I hesitate to say that I'm against character revival at all (although I do think it's a difficult thing to do well), but bringing back a character that should by all rights be dead is somewhat toothless. This is a bigger problem in AoT than in some other series, because outside of the mystery element, AoT's biggest strength is it's teethness.

Having said that, AoT probably won't be able to hold my attention much longer if it doesn't. Or, if not satisfying, I at least trust that it will be interesting.
