And here I was thinking I was prepared to see him die

Well, we didn't see him die but things just doesn't look good, also I feel killing Eren at this point is absurd, I mean now? when he already got his way? because the rumbling has practically devastated the whole world, the only non-natives from paradis left are so few that they could've just asked Falco to pick them up and keep them in the air while Eren's finished... oh well, I still hold a tiny little bit of hope that Sensei will surprise us in a good way
