Mods I know this is 'off-topic' but i wanted to throw what could be a cool idea out there. It would be a shame to let go of this community and the energy it gives; it could be fun to take this to another platform.

Mikasa from a wide enough perspective functions as the thematic antagonist of Attack on Titan; she is the one who, in a sense, imprisons Eren in a cycle of death and rebirth because her love for him can transcend space and time. The real “cycle of hatred” is not the surface-level conflict between the races and nations but the ouroboros spun by Mikasa’s unyielding attachment to Eren.

Given the recent breakthroughs in the Spine Gauge Odyssey, we've confidently deduced that the AR script is as thick as/thicker than industry-standard anime AR scripts that were 2 hours-worth of screen time. Therefore Cour 2 will be at least 2 hours long.
2 hours of screen time for some of the most fast-paced, most action-packed chapters in the series is incredibly, incredibly unlikely. Let's guestimate that:
Let's give chapters 135-139 a rough 15 minutes each. that's an hour and 15 minutes. Minus 15 if/since 138 is the divergence point. Plus 5 minutes of the panels of Historia in labour + Rumbling montage suspiciously omitted from Cour 1. Feel free to refine this calculation in the comme
