Chapter 78: Descent

Bertolt holds off his transformation to check on Reiner. Armin tries to negotiate with him, but Bertolt declares he is resolved to kill them all and briefly fights Mikasa. The soldiers find that the Armored Titan is shielding Reiner's nape with its body. Bertolt then transforms into the Colossal Titan, and the blast engulfs Hange's squad.
