I'm torn on the Fate universe because I'd love to be apart of the Holy Grail War and have a cool servant.

I've noticed a few people on here are making their decision based on the assumption that they will be a badass main character, or at least be within the confines of the main plot.

This is fun to think about as just an idea, but you're being reincarnated into a new world, not playing a video game. You didn't chose your current life and family, so you likely wont be able to chose your next life and family, even if you could chose which world in particular you'd be reincarnated in to.

This is all fictional nonsense anyway, don't take me seriously and let me have my fun picking apart your dreams :V

I'm going to use another user as an example. Sorry it's you, but I had to pick someone. No hard feelings? :3



First problem here is that the Naruto universe is exceptionally dangerous. A lot of people die in this series, and death has been a main theme of all the great ninja wars since the beginning, but that only applies if you pick the vocation of being a shinobi, which clearly you do since you want to wear the headband.

Let's look at probabilities of where you will be born. The largest cities in the Naruto universe are the five hidden villages, namely the Hidden Leaf Village, Hidden Sand Village, Hidden Stone Village, Hidden Cloud Village, and the Hidden Mist Village, with several smaller hidden villages and territories scattered between them. Let's assume that the population between the five main villages are equal to each other, and the population of all the smaller villages and territories combined is equal to two main villages. This means that you have roughly a 14.2% chance at being born in the Leaf Village where you'd have the best chance at becoming friends with Naruto, whereas you'd have an 85.8% chance at NOT being born in the Leaf Village, and you'd only become friends with Naruto through dumb luck. There's also a 14.2% chance you'll be born in the miserably hot and barren Sand Village, or a 14.2% chance you'll be born in the equally as boring Stone Village, and a 14.2% chance you'll be born in the hell hole that is the Mist Village if you're unlucky enough to be born before the reign of the fifth Mizukage.

Now lets talk about the probability of you becoming a Ninja. Just about any child can attempt to be a shinobi unless you're born in a random town that doesn't have ninja, but most never make it beyond the Chunin exams anyway. Think about how many people take the exam each year, compared to how many actually get to become chunin. The majority of them eventually give up, and move on to other vocations like running a shop, farming the fields, or cooking good food. Just looking at probabilities here, you're very likely to be given the chance to become a ninja, but in all honesty you might end up not graduating especially if you're someone who lacks will power or talent. Shinobi in the Naruto Universe work really hard through blood, sweat, and tears to get to where they are. Being a ninja is no pony ride and requires serious commitment and training. If you're not training until you collapse from exhaustion at least once a week, you might as well give up before you get yourself killed on a real mission.

In the end, you're looking at about an 80% chance at having a shot of becoming a Ninja, a 25% chance of actually becoming a Ninja, a 3.5% chance at becoming a Ninja in the Leaf Village, and probably a 90% chance at being killed eventually, should you chose succeed at being a Ninja.

However, regular life in the Naruto universe may not be so bad. It's a mixture of medieval japan and modern japan, complete with national pride, hardworking neighbors, good friends, and loving families (mostly). You may not have air conditioning, but you do have indoor plumbing and an adult book store. Not the worst place to live, just be mindful of the wars going on.

Now I did see one guy I want to call out in particular:


You silly goose. SAO is a game, the universe of SAO is outside of the game, where you can buy a dive headset and link up into whatever game you want to. In the SAO universe you still have pizza delivery, air conditioning, cars, universities, movie theaters, grocery stores, etc. Life in the SAO universe is identical to life in our universe, except it's slightly farther in the future and has dive technology for playing inside video games instead of on an XBOX.

If you find yourself playing the game Sword Art Online, only the player with the highest reaction time gets awarded the Duel Wielding skill set, making Kirito unique in the whole server. If you want to Duel Wield, you'll have to be faster than Kirito, it's not a class you can just pick.

Also, if you die in the game you probably wont die in real life. First, only the Japanese server was hijacked by the creator. Which means out of all of the countries you could be born in, like England, China, India, Australia, etc, etc, playing Sword Art Online would be harmless to you. Also, Sword Art Online wasn't the only game available for the Dive Headset, the only way you'd be stuck inside SAO permanently with Kirito is if you were playing SAO on the day it launched in Japan, instead of some other game that was available at the time.

As a final note to anyone who actually read this far, the best world to be reincarnated into is any world that is safe beyond all belief, like the Pokémon world, or the Sword Art Online world. Crime in SAO is about the same as in our reality, so going someplace comfy and secure like the Pokémon universe (where 9 year old kids run around on month long adventures unsupervised by adults and everyone acts like it's totally fine and normal) is still probably a better option for raising a family, but the SAO universe allows everyone in this thread to live out their dreams according to their desires. You want to be the protagonist in a harem anime? There's a game for that. You want to have Saiyan powers and blow up planets like Vegeta? There's a game for that. You want to live in a cyberpunk world and kick corporate ass like in Ghost in the Shell? There's a game for that. Want to be Geralt of Rivia and bang all the chicks at the Passiflora in Novigrad? Yeah, me too.

The thing about the virtual reality in SAO is that it makes you feel like you're actually there, moving around, doing your own thing. You can actually feel the breeze and smell the flowers despite the whole thing being digital. You could recreate the entire Naruto Universe inside the SAO universe as a video game and have a 100% chance at being born in the Leaf Village by choosing it as your spawn point. And if you get bored of being a Ninja and making up new jutsu, you can turn of that game, make a pot of tea, and plug yourself into a different world, all without the dumb probabilities of being a main character. I think hands down, the SAO universe is the clear winner for this thread.
