Welcome to our chapter 138 discussion. Our first guest this month representing eremika nation is Alooulla from the r/ShingekinoKyojin. We also welcome back “Eren optimist” Safflora for this penultimate chapter discussion.
The biggest surprise this month (besides the discovery that Safflora might be a closeted EH shipper 👀), is that with 45 pages remaining we are still left with far more questions than answers. Or rather, this chapter felt like an answer, but it was one without any explanations, leaving room for so much speculation. Our discussion this month reflects that.
