I'll just come out and say, Sasha's end, her entire death scene, is the most idiotically plotted death of all the major deaths we've been dealt from this franchise. I may be being biased, but if it weren't for every convenient irony and coincidence which Isayama likes to play at every chance he gets, his story would be going absolutely nowhere. And her just happening to get shot by the same kid from an hour earlier is really stretching the suspension of disbelief. As is Gabi's many skills that she conveniently picks up every time she acquires a weapon she's never used before; 3DM Gear and an Anti-Titan Rifle. This kid's dumb luck seriously pisses me off. And what really sucks is we got the gang back after the four-year timeskip, Sasha's got a new look with the rest, everyone's happy to see them again, we don't get four full chapters of her before she's offed. And even now, I think Isayama is actively mocking Sasha's fans for loving her so much, I honest to God think that's what he's doing.

It's hilarious how so many people freaked out that they thought Nicolo was the one Floch murdered in the last chapter before it was clear that nope, that wasn't him. Nicolo is only here because of Sasha and no one seems to give a damn about her. Nicolo only had one scene with Sasha. He's a waste of expensive paper. And honestly, so is the rest of the Braus family because of her unceremonious exit. Why does anyone give a rat's ass about Nicolo?

And finally..........The worst thing about this manga is that there's almost no one left to root for. Definitely not Mikasa, I think she's been a static character for far too long. All the good ones were already gone before or by the end of the Marley arc, like I seriously can't muster much care for who remains now. And that's because Isayama thinks nothing of wasting a good cast before he kills them off. The biggest weakness of this entire manga. And he's got some nerve, I don't care that it's a grimdark fantasy tale.

Had to get all that off my chest, I cannot wait until five years from now, when everyone reevalutes this manga's merits. Which are badly exaggerated.
