Done

I get you. I feel the same, poor Levi.
I will read to the end tho. Im that much of a m ┗( T﹏T )┛

i feel the same,, but i kinda want to see the end of the ride... but dunno, maybe i'll drop it along the way too...(depend on how the story progress )
same with you, the only chara that i love only levi now,,,

He hasn't lost completely everyone, he still has hanji, eren, mikasa, and Armin. I understand where you're getting at though. However, read this manga for what it is. It isn't supposed to be a romance manga, its for action and shounen. Yes I do ship two characters (eren x mikasa), but I know it won't ever happen because this is a hardcore shounen. Don't leave because Erwin died. Even if Armin wasn't chosen, I still wouldn't drop this manga. Sure I'd feel a little sad because of erens attachment, but I do feel bad for Levi.

It was the right decision. So, yeah, go ahead. Leave. Bye.

Same here I love other charaters but Levi is my sexy guy. If he gets killed than I might stop reading. But sticking with it this long I must me a M too...Same goes for TG too many tears.

Problem is though it's not the same attachment. Sure he cares about those kids and even Hanji BUT Erwin was the man he eventually looked up to and followed his orders without question. Erwin was no different to him than Farlan and Isabel. He had a special place in his heart for those three and to lose Erwin was like losing them all over again. I'm not saying he wouldn't hurt if the others died he would like all the soldiers but this man has went through hell himself following Erwin and doing his bidding because he believed in him and trusted him completely, for him to die....would leave a large hole in him.

Wow didn't need your smartass two cents. This is just how I personally Feel. Just because I don't feel the same about you on something doesn't mean I'm wrong in my decision. I just happen to like different Characters than you. I see no other reason to read this, just because my interest has disappeared doesn't mean you have to sound like a bitch about it. Jeez....... ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

What, you think those of us who read this can't love Erwin AND Armin, both? And be upset if EITHER one died? I didn't want either to die and was hoping the'd be able to divide Bertie and the serum somehow. But when the author laid out the "why," he's right. This was the right decision for the future and for Erwin (he had suffered and worked enough in the cause and should be let go). That you think this makes the manga not worth reading anymore, yeah, so dont' read it. From the starting chapters, we knew people we liked were gonna die. And they have. I'm still pissed about Marco and Petra. And yet it fits the story. And Levi may end up dying, and I'll hate that a lot.

And I'm really sorry about sounding bitchy. I had just read the chapter and it felt as if those of us wanting Armin to read were somehow minimizing Erwin. I guess I took that a bit personally, as I wanted both to survive. :(

Dude Levi dying is like if Daryl died in TWD. The fans would go apeshit.

Yeah that's good comparison

Yep, they would. I would. :D A little apeshit. But this story was set up with 3 principals. If there are gonna be deaths, dramatically, you don't kill off your three principals--at least not until they're missions and lives are in some sense completed. Erwin pretty much completed his--he found who he needed to carry on. Levi has found new people to serve and protect. And Erwin died flanked by people who cared about him and didn't want him to suffer. It's actually a beautiful tragic moment.

No,,, i don't think erwin completes his role. But duh this manga filled with people with their unfulfilled dreams.

I wasn't saying anything about people that love both Erwin AND Armin can't still be upset. Please don't put words in my mouth. I am only stating about how I don't want to read it anymore. I don't hate Armin but he's by far my favorite character so it was a bigger blow for me to lose my favorite character versus if Armin was lost. Also yes I know it was best for Erwin but that still doesn't mean I'm going to be interested in finish reading. All of my favorite Characters are dead so I see no interest to finish.

He led them to a place where new people can take over. His dream was to make the basement, which is a short-term dream. Erin and Armin's dream is to be free, free enough to live beyond walls and see oceans. Who had the bigger dream? Who will be the next leader? Erwin and Levi know they aren't young (30s, and they outlived most of their colleagues). They are wearing down, while the new leaders are the younger ones, the ones who intend to take a better future, not just survive. By nurturing Eren, Armin, Mikasa, Erwin most certainly did his duty and fulfilled his leadership role of creating a force for the future.

Armin is one of my faves, he and Levi, and even if they both died, I'd still read it to learn what the hell they fought and died for. I need to know the heart of this mystery and if Bertie was a hero or a villain, which from an incomplete perspective, we still cannot really know.

@manganiME i still not convinced that armin will take over erwin's role. This serum drama will lead to a new progress, but not a story about armin as SC new Erwin. It's only in my mind,,, purely my imagination, but new progress will be about armin n eren not gonna stand side by side as friend anymore.

Anything could happen, sure. For me, the ideal is that they find out dark truths, but still apprehend enough freedom to live life on their terms, outside walls. Even if it's just the scouts who survive going off to find their own place in the open world. THat would make me happy. That there could somehow be peace and liberty.

Armin is a strategist and thinker, but he's not a warrior like Erwin. Physically now, he is better than Erwin due to Titan powers. And if he gets knowledge from eating Bertie (info about the village, the plan, the spies, the Ape Titan) he will be more useful than Erwin. All depends on what he comes up with with what he's acquired. Erwin was both determined, courageous, a tactician, and cunning. Armin is intelligent, strategic, creative, and loyal to his dream, his friends, and justice (as much as is possible). I think given more experience and time, he will be BETTER than Erwin. And there may be secrets about his past that come into play, too. Who he really is.

I still find this story compelling, if tragic and hard to read at times. The mystery, the complications. So much still to find out. I'm super engaged. And I love when a manga give sme complex reactions, like both cheering Bertie's demise and regretting it--at the same time.

@manganiME u can check at isayama latest interview, it is stated, that not so far in the future armin will be an opposition for eren.

That would be interesting--to see what makes them adversaries. Maybe Armin will get insight into something and realize they are on the wrong side. I"ve always considered that possibility. That we only get THIS side, and THIS side may be the villainous one and the other one is justified. Or both have justifications. Or Eren's thirst for vengeance will go out of control. Or whatever. That's what makes this tory interesting.

I'll add that even if Armin is in opposition to Eren, it doesn't mean they stay opposed. Stories with good conflict bring in opposition, but there is also teh possibility of reconciliation. Friends can become enemies, then friends again.

That's good storytelling: changes and arcs.

Can you give a link to the interview. I saw some comments that they "MIGHT" not be friends. That could be red herring, too. :D
