For all we know Ymir could just go lolno and completely revive Eren even if he were to be completely disintegrated since she's visible to people yet was killed and devoured.

Of note, these last two chapters were from the POV of Armin and Mikasa, so odds are the next chapter will be from Eren's POV to round out the main trio of the series.

Korean typeset of the chapter is out in its entirety. Beware spoilers. Armin getting his skull caved in by Eren was pretty funny at least.

@Black I wanna point out that Mikasa says "See you later, Eren" right be she severs his head from his spine. Those are the last words that Eren hears before Kid Eren wakes up from his dream.

Yeah, I really resent the mood swing from the previous chapter. Building upon that to try and actually show what you need to do in the aftermath to make it hold felt like a far more logical way to make the ending at least cohesive. Unless the actual plan was to show that hope only to pull a mist ending after that, which I could kinda get behind, it kinda feels like padding.

This was kind of what I was worried about, not hitting the landing on the ending.

But, one more chapter can still change a lot even this late, so I'll hold my judgment, especially since the full spoilers aren't out yet.

@Yumil It looks all the Eldians transformed into Titans, ignored the Marleyans and came to the Hallucigenia's defense. I expect them all of them to revert to being human for good once it's destroyed.

Can see the world getting repopulated by the millions of wall titans turning back into humans.

Honestly, the Spine ever showing up outside of Ymir's backstory was a mistake. It should've stayed there.

It's legitimately sweet that Connie's final words to Jean are getting him to remember the night they joined the Survey Corps, how they joined because of Jean and that they only got this far because of him

No I mean, I mean funny in the ironic "wtf is this" way.

....seriously, why end both chapters with a double fake out?

Saw the raws and..... yeah this chapter is weird. I don't really like fakeouts and I really don't like it here. The spine being yet again the reason Eren is still alive after it got blown up feels more ass pully to me then before. I do kind of like the idea of Reiner and Annie have to contend with their family member and Jean, Connie, and Gabi being turned into Titans.

The Mikasa thing is indeed kind of weird as she kissing his depressed looking severed head on the lips and Ymir has this creepy smile in the background. I could see Mikasa killing Eren, imaging a potential life they could of had together, and then comforting him as he dies but this swings more to weird then sad.

Honestly the only things I liked in this chapter is the families briefly united, it was confirmed that the Eldians and Marleyans didn't kill eachother, and Jean, Connie, and Gabi were beating the shit out of Reiner as titans which is pretty funny to me.

Without even thinking about how it seems to be ending, how many of you were actually confident this story would have a satisfying ending? Again, that's regardless of whether you're feeling satisfying with how things seem to be shaping up now or not.

I had been confident up until the "flying Titan Falco" Deus ex Machina.

I'm fine where it's going and was confident once the Alliance was formed.

The only thing that makes me unsure is that there's one chapter left.

As long as Eren dying results in all the titans turning back into humans, I will be ok with the ending. It would be a damn shame to lose Jean, Connie and Gabi after all of this. So I hope Eren's death and the Centipede dying too saves them.

I was pretty confident in most of the last third of the series, tbh. I was a bit less invested during the section within the paths with eren and zeke before it became clear what it was building up to and looking back to it I really like it.
