* WhamShot: [[JustForPun All puns aside]] Gabi firing her rifle into the crowded zeppelin... and hitting Sasha.

* DontCelebrateJustYet: Connie hugs Sasha and Jean and says that he's glad the three of them escape safely. [[GenreBlindness It was a very bad idea to say this out loud while they are still in enemy territory.]]

* DisappointedInYou: Hange expresses this sentiment to Eren, pointing out that he used the Scouts tendency to always save him to force them into attacking Marley and lost them several soldiers. She points out that, while he may have counted on his trust for the Scouts, he lost their trust in return.

* WouldNotHurtAChild: Lobov, one of the Scouts' new recruits and the one protecting the zeppelin's rear, hesitates to shoot Gabi when he sees she's a kid. [[BoomHeadshot This proves fatal as Gabi doesn't hesitate.]]

* TakingYouWithMe: Gabi, enraged over all of the deaths caused by the Scouts, sneaks onto their zeppelin with the intent to kill as many soldiers as she can before she dies. Falco pushes her out of the way before she gets shot by Jean so she only takes out Sasha.

* YouAreTooLate: Even with bandages to mitigate the bleeding, they do little to stop Sasha from dying.

* CharacterDeath: Sasha is shot when Gabi sneaks onto the Scouts' zeppelin and fires into the crowd of soldiers. By the end of the episode, Connie tearfully declares that she has died, succumbing to her wound.

* CycleOfRevenge: As noted by several characters throughout the episode. The Marleyan Warriors attacked Paradis and wiped out a third of the people living there. Paradis in turn attacked Liberio as their declaration of war. Gabi, enraged by the destruction of her hometown, sneaks onboard the zeppelin and fires into the soldiers killing Sasha. When Grice asks Jean if they should throw the kids overboard Jean bitterly asks if murdering children will stop the violence.

* EnemyMine: Zeke is apparently working with the Paradisians now though Levi clearly would love nothing more then to carve him up.
* HeroicRROD: Occurs to both Eren and Reiner after their brief clash at the start of the episode. While Reiner goes down with one enhanced punch he is able to retrieve Galliard and prevent Eren from eating him. Afterwards Eren admits neither of them have the strength to continue fighting and declares that they will have to postpone their rematch for another time.

* MoleInCharge: As it turns out Zeke, the Warchief of the warriors, was in on the plan with Eren in order to cripple Marley and help restore Eldia to glory.

* NotSoStoic: Eren finally breaks his perpetually blank faced streak for this season after he asks Connie for Sasha's last words, first breaking into inappropriate laughter when he remembers her stealing some officers meat, and then having an enraged and grief-stricken expression once the weight of her loss hits him.
* ShooOutTheClowns: As if to cement the DarkerAndEdgier tone of this season Sasha, who has long been a source of comic relief in this show, is shot and killed by Gabi in revenge for the attack on Liberio.

* WhatTheHellHero: Many characters, either directly or indirectly, call Eren out on essentially holding himself hostage and forcing the Scouts to take part on the attack on Liberio in order to rescue him. After Sasha is killed Jean tells Eren that her death is his fault for forcing the Scouts to rescue him.
