No reason to be so reserved. You aren't that interested in shipping charcters anyways as far as I can tell. Maybe there won't be any romance in this manga at all, who knows. I am glad about the few romantic scenes between them we got (like chapter 50) and will still keep my hopes up about the story ending with them at least as friends again. I am sure Eren doesn't really hate Mikasa and Armin.

I don't think it's about who is strong in combat at all. If Isayama wants a character to die that character will die no matter how strong he is. Even the biggest weaklings can survive the story if the author wants it to happen. The only question is if Isayama is going for the tragic hero ending where Eren dies to save the world or if he wants a more happy ending where Eren and most of the fan favourites survive.

Same goes with Connie and Reiner. Why would the author decide to let them die? Connie is the same type of character as Sasha and she already died for shock value. It wouldn't create more shock value to let him die as well. And Reiner already got his redemption. His life turned to shit. While Eren became a bad guy, Reiner became a good guy. There have been countless chances to just let Reiner die but Isayama decided to let him live.

Of course I don't know who's gonna die and who is not for sure either. Nobody does. So your guess could be as good as mine. But it's all about the reasoning behind such opinions.
