Manga shingeki no kyojin 102
Floch seems more emotionally motivated than strategically while Eren seems cold-blooded and calculating (while we know he understands the basis for why the Marleyans did what they did).
Despite that, to move forward, some Islanders believe that such conflict and collateral damage is necessary (and possibly unavoidable). These are the homes of mostly ignorant people, who know only what they’ve been brought up to believe like Eren said when he understood Reiner’s motivations. From what we can infer, removing the enemy’s footholds is a good strategy in gaining territory, destroying moral, destroying weapons etc. From a strategic standpoint, Floch argues that this is the enemy’s residences. Most of the Islanders refrain from killing anyone besides Marleyan soldiers, except Floch and Eren.

Judging from the Islanders reactions to the battle one could say that they were not uniform in their opinions of how to deal with the Marleyans. Sasha hesitates killing Gabi as Sasha probably thinks Gabi is an innocent child and similar to the child she saved long ago from a titan using her bow and arrows. Jean wants to minimize damage to civilians. Jean reprimands Floch for setting a building (internment zone), with civilians possibly inside, ablaze. This is the turning point between the Marleyans (Gabi, Falco etc.) and Paradis Islanders (Eren, Mikasa etc.) in terms of warfare and morality.Įren has committed heinous war crimes, killing possiby hundreds of innocent civilians (including children), that Mikasa dubs “irredeemable” with tears in her eyes. The title of the chapter itself alludes that there is no going back.
