Attack on Titan season 3‘s latest episode, “Descent” saw the Survey Corps trying to hold out against the surprise attack by the Beast Titan and his Titan horde, within the Shiganshina District of Wall Maria. It was an intricate chess game, as the Scouts tried to protect their ranks and horses from attack by the Beast Titan, and Reiner Braun’s Armored Titan.

The Shiganshina battle had another big twist thrown in during this latest chapter: after the Scouts managed to use a powerful new weapon to take down the Armored Titan, Reiner’s partner in crime Bertolt Hoover finally appeared on the battlefield. Bertolt’s return wasn’t just a casual reunion, though: the traitor’s Colossus Titan explosive transformation was used as a surprise bomb against the Survey Corps attacking the Armored Titan. Even though Bertolt showed some compassion by giving the Scouts a chance to escape, the explosion of the Colossus Titan transformation still saw one Scout regiment get caught in the blast zone. Much to fans’ collective horror, Hange Zoe was one of the soldiers last seen in the fiery blast zone!
Naturally, the idea that fan-favorite Hange has just been killed off of Attack on Titan has the fandom shook. Scroll below for the social media reaction and hope that Hange will soon be seen alive and well!
It’s a Trap!

Some fans refuse to believe it, and are pleading for answers from fans ‘in the know’ about the manga. Scroll all the way down for more on that…ย

POTENTIALย SPOILERS –ย Without dropping mangaย spoilers, thisย fan points out that the animeย hints that Hangeย could have a savior. Moblitย Bernerย seems to see the explosion coming first, and could make the move to save her!ย
