The nation's capital was in a bad state after Eren's brutal attack and the Survey Corps only accelerated the assault. Gabi was alone and she found everyone dying around her. In her attempt to secure justice for her loved ones, Gabi ended up killing Sasha with a stolen rifle. Sasha was killed when Gabi found her way onto an airship with Falco on her tail.

It was a coincidence that she tailed the airship that carried Eren and the like. Gabi aimed at Sasha before pulling the trigger, and the bullet hit Sasha. Sasha has been in the show since the beginning, and she was loved because of her affectionate nature and desired to spread love.

After she was shot by Gabi, fans immediately began mourning her. Her death is one of the most devastating ones after Erwin and Marco. Her death has made everyone upset with Eren as it's because of his destructive choices that killed Sasha. So, now what's going to happen to Gabi?
