I think Armin’s dead. He just got burnt and he landed few feet from the air. Erwin might survive depending on his wound(s). I’m predicting that he’ll most likely to get the serum. It seems in this episode that it was foreshadowing that with Levi.

But idk aot is very unpredictable

They're probably going to give it to Armin. In the OP there's a montage of various scenes in this half of the season (including Reiner & Bertholdt's bro moment atop the wall), and one of the shots has Armin waking up in a bed

Edit: I found the shot in the OP. It immediately follows a shot of the colossal titan, so I think that's the power Armin will inherit.

They played us from the beginning !

Though giving the serum to Armin could probably explain why Levi will get so angry in that after credits scene last half season.

yeah like he wants to give it to Erwin but Eren tries to use it on Armin instead, even though he's already dead and it wouldn't work.

O shit good catch, it took me a little fiddling with vlc before I got it smooth and slow to catch it but it's really clear when you do see it!

Also, it looks like in the scene during episode 49's ED, aside from Levi, Eren and Mikasa, amputated Berthold and burnt Armin are on the roof too.

The OP also shows Erwin joining his fallen comrades.

No way, it has to be Armin. Erwin went out in a blaze of glory, creating the chance for Levi to finish off the beast titan, sacrificing himself like the soldiers he led. His arc is at its end and it was handled wonderfully. We all deserve to see Armins smile as he sees the seas, and that smile has to be protected!

But does the serum work on corpses? Armin's injuries are extremely severe; in real life those kinds of burns lead to death rather swiftly. As much as I DON'T want it to happen because I love Armin so much, I think he might be done.

Titan regeneration saved Reiner after his head was blown off. Granted, he was still attached to his titan and did that trick to move his consciousness but I still think he could maybe be saved. Or I might just be in denial because Armin was my favorite T.T

u/swordmalice https://myanimelist.net/profile/swordmalice May 28 '19

Right, but Armin's not a Titan. That's what has me so worried. The serum can't work unless the subject is alive, and Armin looks very, very dead to me :(

Don't read this if you don't watch the previews after the episode!

​

Just watched the preview again. I don't like Armin's odds even more now. Watch closely its like 2 frames. I don't want to blurt it out just in case people don't really like watching the previews.

u/[deleted] May 27 '19

I think those frames are him slapping away Levi

7

u/Soviet_Cat May 27 '19

I keep thinking back to the end if credits scene for last season. I think Mikasa and eren will attack Levi for the serum. I haven't read the manga so just s theory

u/Ijustwant2beok May 28 '19

Yeah, that's my theory as well. They're gonna try to steal the serum from him to save Armin instead of Erwin and that's when shit will hit the fan.

u/[deleted] May 27 '19

I think Levi takes the serum himself because he's steaming in the post-credit scene from the finale of S3 part 1.

u/_Sho_the_ May 27 '19

I think that's only because he had titan (beast)blood on him. nothing to do with the serum

u/[deleted] May 27 '19

Ah that does make sense, I was trying to mental gymnastic around how he would have transformed, lost it and came to already.
