‘Attack on Titan’ chapter 133 predictions, spoilers: What to expect

“Attack on Titan” chapter 133 is picking up from a game-changing installment. Fans saw two major deaths -- one of a protagonist and one of a villain -- in a single chapter. So there was no question that it was such an emotional installment, especially when the manga showed Hange’s spirit is reunited with the former commanders of the Survey Corps, who has passed away before her.

Armin has now taken the position Hange left behind, which also means one of his main goals now is to fight his best friend Eren. The latter was once viewed as the key to ending the terror caused by Titans among humans, but everything has changed in the series at this point. The Corps will have to deal with Eren in “Attack on Titan” chapter 133 and his plan on eliminating all humans that do not have Eldian blood because he believes this is the way to end the seemingly never-ending war between Marley and Eldia.

Hange and Floch are unlikely the last characters to die, so no one is safe in “Attack on Titan” chapter 133. It is worth noting that Eren has now acquired the powers of the Founding Titan making the goal of stopping him more difficult and could require more sacrifices along the way.
