Sasha and her love for potatoes are forever in the hearts of her fans.

Summary:

  • Sasha Brown was one of the most beloved characters, so when she died in Season 4, fans were devastated.
  • Sasha's final appearance in the last episode was heartbreaking – her spirit appeared in front of Connie and Jean while Gabi, who killed her, was reunited with her parents.

Over the course of 4 seasons of Attack on Titan, Sasha Braus has transformed from a simpleton who loves to eat to a strong soldier (who still loves to eat).

Sasha won over the vast majority of fans with her sincerity — and broke their hearts when she died.

Sasha Was One of Attack on Titan's Most Prominent Characters

Despite her slight recklessness, she remained a brave soldier willing to sacrifice her life for her friends. She killed a titan with a simple bow and arrow while protecting a little girl, and her kindness and love of food outweighed any hatred.

She even managed to make friends with the Marleyan Niccolo – he was happy to cook for anyone who got real pleasure from his food. So the plot brought together two good characters who did not want to fight, but to do what they loved.

The authors planned to kill Sasha Braus much earlier, but one of the mangakas was so sad about this decision that they decided to postpone the event. But that wasn't enough to ditch the idea altogether.

Little Gabi shot Sasha in the stomach, shocking all fans. Many viewers were angry about this twist, but there is a moral to it that can be seen throughout the whole anime and manga: the Titans do not always bring evil, often it is people who destroy themselves.

Little Finale Detail That Made Farewell to Sasha Even More Heartbreaking

After 10 years, we finally got the finale of Attack on Titan, and although it turned out to be quite controversial, one thing is undeniable – it was also very touching.

The final minutes of the cult anime paid tribute to everyone who gave their hearts for freedom – we saw the disappearing silhouettes of Erwin, Hange and others, but the farewell to Sasha was the most heartbreaking.

In the final minutes of the last episode, we see Sasha appear in front of Jean and Connie, with whom she has developed a strong friendship. But then the trio fades into the background, and in the foreground we see Gabi hugging her parents.

What many viewers didn't notice was that Connie collapsed in heartbreak as Sasha disappeared, now forever, and Jean embraced him.

Many fans feel that Gabi did not deserve a happy ending, but it is important to remember that she, just like Sasha, became an unwitting participant in a terrible war in which there was no right side.
