The anime and manga series Attack on Titan has enthralled viewers all around the world with its rich characters, sophisticated and sinister plot, and spectacular action scenes. In this universe, death is everywhere, and individuals routinely meet terrible and unexpected ends. Popular character Sasha Braus also perished prematurely at the end of the series. She was a member of the Survey Corps and one of the few former members of the 104th Training Corps. The details of her passing have led to a great deal of fan conjecture, with many attempting to solve the puzzle of why Eren smiled at Sasha’s demise.
Is Sasha Dead?
Sasha Braus and her companions were there in Attack on Titans when the Survey Corps entered Marley, a country that employed Titans as weapons of war, to acquire intelligence and stop a conflict. Unfortunately, it was at this moment when Gabi, a young girl out to get Eren and the Survey Corps, shot and killed Sasha. In Attack on Titans, Gabi, and Falco secretly boarded the airship that the Survey Corps utilized during their operation in Liberio. During their escape from Marley, Gabi took advantage of their celebratory mood and ended up killing Sasha on the airship.
The shot did not kill Sasha instantly as the Scouts tried to patch her up, but she soon died due to blood loss, with her final word being “meat”.Gabi and Falco stealthily boarded the airship that the Survey Corps was using during their mission in Liberio in Attack on Titans. Gabi took advantage of their joyous atmosphere when they were fleeing from Marley and killed Sasha on the airship. Sasha was not quickly killed by the shooting because the Scouts attempted to stitch her up, but she soon passed away from blood loss with the phrase “meat” as her last.
Sasha’s demise in Attack on Titans clearly had an impact on Mikasa, Armin, and a few other characters. But when Eren started to chuckle, that’s when they were truly startled. Eren Yeager’s unexpected response to Sasha’s passing was brought on by a number of factors. He is a nuanced, complicated character that the mangaka carefully crafted. Eren could have been smiling to mask his sorrow and anguish, but this is all just conjecture. One of Eren’s closest friends, Sasha’s passing must have shocked him. Eren may have been laughing to distract himself from his emotions, but this split him from his allies. Eren’s laughing undoubtedly also served to conceal his agony while also reflecting his own remorse.
He saw his mother die at the hands of Titans in Attack on Titans and vowed to wipe them all out. Many innocent lives, including those of his erstwhile companions, were lost as a result of his plot, nevertheless. The fact that Eren knew he was in charge of Sasha’s murder and the deaths of countless others may have caused him to chuckle out of resentment and self-hatred. Perhaps the irony of their final words being “meat” made Sasha’s death both humorous and heartbreaking to the series’ protagonist. She was renowned for adding comedy throughout the entire series, which was evident even in her untimely passing.
