Curious to see how anime only watchers will react to this.

Seeing that moment animated highlighted how ridiculous it was to have them argue for so long when Erwin and Armin were at death's door and could die at any moment. Of course, it made sense, since the characters were purely running on emotions at this point. It's only from an external point of view that you can tell things could have gone horribly wrong.

All I could think of was how hilarious it would've been if they both died because they spent so long fighting and arguing.

To be honest though it's not that much of surprise to me. Armin was always closer in the "main character orbit" than Erwin and Erwin's had tons of death flags on him for a while now. I distinctly remember a scene at the end of the previous cour where Levi was adamant that Erwin shouldn't go on this mission because of the risk and at the time I just thought "raise that flag higher, Levi"

But this is quite a boon for the protagonists now that they have Armin with Colossal Titan powers. Eren finally has a titan battle buddy.
