What do you think Armins plan is? People are saying he'll use himself (and probably Eren) as bait, but wasn't Bert just ignoring them before? How will they get him to stop ignoring them? Will Eren jump at his nape? Or will he get rekt again?
Armin’s thought process in chapter 81 is based on his conversation with Eren from chapter 73. As they were approaching Shiganshina, Armin asks Eren how he had the courage to rescue him from the titan’s mouth in Trost. “You came and brought me out of the titans mouth. Why were you able to do that? You were never supposed to sacrifice yourself for my sake”
Eren replies, “I don’t know why, but if it’s to get my freedom back, I feel strengths welling up inside me.”
Chapter 73:
Remembering Eren’s bravery, Armin repeats those words almost verbatim in chapter 81.
Chapter 81:
He then makes the ominous statement about never seeing the ocean.
So I have NO IDEA what Armin is planning, but since he’s thinking about the time Eren jumped into a titan mouth to save him, it can’t be good. It is sure to involve risk, bravery and sacrifice.
