Sasha Blouse was originally supposed to die during the Clash of the Titans arc. Isayama had finished the draft—he'd shown it to his editor. The decision was made. Then the editor left the room, went to the bathroom, and cried.

When he came back, he persuaded Isayama to delete the entire scene. That bathroom break gave Sasha seven more years of story. Seven years to rescue a child with nothing but a bow, to dismantle a Marleyan soldier's ideology through one plate of seafood, to show mercy in a world built on violence. All of it existed because of one person's emotional refusal to let her die.
