It was about what I expected to happen. He let them say their peace, and it didn't matter, then some shit happened to draw the whole cast together for the climax. I'm glad they got the final talk out of the way with psychic powers rather than halting the final fight for the conversation. The chapter seemed to be designed to get everybody involved and set shit up all at once so some of the events felt a little convenient or rushed to me, but they make sense at least. Eren wouldn't want to take his friends or an Eldian's freedom, Falco's deal with getting beast qualities from Zeke's spinal fluid is how they've been modifying shifters this whole time but normally with injections like how Eren got hardening, Annie probably did the shout during the forest arc by eating some of Zeke's titan, etc. Makes me wonder how must customization they could do with unique previous users whose spinal fluid is still in stock, the one Eren used was pretty old. Maybe that's why each Titan's hardening looks a bit different?
Overall it felt like a connective tissue chapter, not too exciting but had to be done this way if he's gonna finish this shit as quick as he says he is. I also liked the imagery of Eren as a kid standing in solidarity with Ymir. Two little brats having a tantrum just about sums this up. I'm actually pretty excited to see the climax though, Isayama can deliver some damn fine action when he wants and it looks like that's starting for real next chapter. Eren better do something cool with his titan and not just hang there menacingly.
