Small cool details about S2 and question too!

Discussion/Question

*SPOILERS FOR SEASON 2*

So I'm rewatching AOT one final time to get the whole full complete experience, with my knowledge of the whole show I can see and understand so many new things. Anyway I need help answering a question, and think I discovered a small cool detail I wanted to share. In episode 32 (s2, ep 6), at the time stamp 7:49, Reiner is telling Armin about how he's almost died a couple times and says "Go on, tell em how Annie nearly crushed me like an insect" (talking about the english dub here btw). If Reiner was cool and not a traitor, at this point in time he shouldn't know that the female titan was Annie right. Reason being, while Annie was getting dealt with in Stohess, Reiner, Bertolt, Sasha, Connie, Ymir, and Crista (Historia) were being supervised/held by some scouts between wall rose and sina, between the Yalkell and Erhmich (the western and southern districts of wall sina). Quite some distance away from Trost. So yeah, I think this is the first sign/confirmation that Reiner and Bertolt were the armoured and colossal. Anyway, I just think this is a cool small detail that shows that Hajime Isayama was a straight genius, correct me if I'm wrong though or missed an important detail.

Anyway, question time. Who actually won the fight between Annie and Mikasa in that flashback Eren has fighting Reiner? Wanna know if it's ever been confirmed or anything. Thanks :)

In the Dub he says Annie but in the Sub he says Female Titan.

Its one of those moments where if its an accident then its w/e,
but if its an intended choice to make him seem more guilty by the fact that he knows Annie is the Female Titan despite him being kept out of the Stohess Operation, as a sign of his mental state slipping that he accidentally uses her real name when referring to her titan then its a pretty nice little detail. Especially since he calls her Annie while asking Armin, and Armin has a look on his face like he is realizing what Reiner just said and is shocked that he would just bring it up unprompted.

There is a moment later in the episode when Sasha is about to ask if Ymir being a titan means that she is somehow involved with R,B,A, but Mikasa cuts her off before she says anything incriminating. This is because she was at the meeting that outed R & B and is an idiot.
Later in S3E1 when Armin and Jean are in disguise as Eren and Historia she almost makes the same mistake by saying something secret and giving it away. When Armin and Jean get grabbed she almost says "Armin" and then corrects herself to saying "Christa".

In a similar way I get the vibe during S2E6 that Eren is trying to provoke Reiner into making a mistake when he is clearly distressed and Eren starts saying things that upset him further like telling him he is getting further away from his hometown.

The moment in S2E1 when Nanaba flies down to the window and tells the 104th Scout recruits that the wall has been breached and there are titans coming towards them right now, only for Reiner to turn to Bertholdt and ask "Has the wall really been breached??" like he is horrified because Reiner and Bertholdt know that they are the only two who actually could have breached the wall, and so the fact that there are titans inside Wall Rose's land means that Marley had launched another attack on the island and the other Marley Warriors may be nearby.

It is confirmed that Shadis broke up the fight between Annie and Mikasa, so neither won.
