Title says it all, why or why not?

It depends.
Do I have any advantage like being able to turn into a titan or being naturally oddly strong like Mikasa?
If not no, I would not fight. I would spend my time with my family and friends and make the most out of my existence.
It sounds cowardly and it sounds like I'm underestimating myself, but knowing myself I would absolutely fall apart and die instantly if I see a titan.
It seems like a lot of people either end up getting eaten or getting crushed.
Obviously nobody wants to die that way, but if that is how I end up dying, I would rather try to accumulate as much happy experiences before then, not experiences of seeing my friends/comrades in battle getting eaten or crushed left and right.

I think I'll try get a job at the wall cannons or something. Seems pretty safe apart from the danger of the Colossal Titan.

I recall a similar thread...
Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier
Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.).
Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!)
Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe
Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics.
Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it.

I'd be one of those background characters that die in a second, I'm 100% sure. I mean, do I want to be in a titans mouth? It seems it is, most definitely is, disgusting, arms might as well be in between their teeth .ew.

If I could turn into one of those giants like Eren, then yes, I'd probably fight for shits and giggles(and Mikasa), otherwise I'd probably be those background characters that count them bodies at the end of each fight....saying 'sucks to be you' at each body count

I wouldn't want to.

But I probably would. I guess it all depends on what my family's like. If my family were anything like my family irl, yes, I probably would.

Coming from a family who's grandfather fought in WW2, who's dad was in the navy, and who has 4 brothers, being a male myself, there would be tremendous pressure and expectations to fight.

Well I would because of these words -
"Fight! You have to fight! If you win you live, if you lose you die. But you cannot win if you don't fight!"

If I seriously woke up in the SnK universe, I would have to fight because I couldn't live with myself being one of those wall dwelling cowards who hate on the Scouting Legion. Yeah, I would probably be a no name that dies in his first expedition, but at least I died for something, and I didn't sit behind the walls and wait for the titans to get me.

If I had titan shifting powers, then FT wouldn't be the only titan that knows kicking. My seemingly obsolete knowledge of martial arts will turn me into a fucking wrecking machine when I become a titan.

Since I have nothing left to do within the walls except farming and shit, I might actually fight.

I don't have Animes to watch.

No Mangas to read.

No Games to play.

No myanimelist.net

No books to actually study?

No fun time experiment to actually invent something like, I don't know, a blimp?

well....basically if I was in the SnK Universe I won't technically "fight" (like killing titans and such), I would rather be in the searcher part of the military group (Recon Corps, Military Police, Garrisson, etc) I'm in(? if you get my point)

I mean, not everything resides in killing titans, there's other -important- jobs, even if you're in the Recon Corps for example :/
(remember that their goal is to find any hints about titans that can help to fight them, they don't go and kill every one they see)

PD: god dammit, my english sucks today orz sorry if I can't explain myself any better asd

I'd need some kind of powerful incentive or reason to fight. I don't think of myself as a coward but I have a pretty laid back personality. If my town and home got destroyed and I witnessed my loved ones die like Eren, then I probably would consider going for revenge. Kind of a "I don't have anything to lose" mentality. But that's just one of the many factors. As a soldier you have to be prepared to witness the worse like your best friends getting eaten in front of you. Just looking the good amount of veterans (in the real world) who return from war mentally unstable, it's safe to say this isn't for everyone. But having a titan shifting power would help too, since I'd feel some sort of obligation to aid humanity.

Anyways, just my 2 cents ^^

Most likely not. I'm a bit of a coward who wouldn't risk my life so easily.

But that is the me in the real world who never been in a life and death situation that is talking. If I grew up in SnK, it might've been different. The only thing that would make me fight is if Titans got closer and closer to the inner walls. If death won't let me escape, then fighting it is better than waiting for it to claim me.

I'd like to think I'd fight, can't really see myself doing anything else. My life would probably be short even though I can see myself being above the average. I would at least get to have some fun with the 3d gear before the fun ends.

Yes. I would.
I'd fight to survive.

It's scary as hell but way better than just hiding behind a wall and hoping that I'll be lucky enough not to be the next one that gets eaten without any means to defend myself.
At least I'd somehow feel that I'm in control of my own destiny even if actually being on the battlefield only raises the chance that I'll be killed.
After all there's no guarantee that the titans would one day suddenly just stop eating people. The only way for anything to ever change is to fight back and kill them.
Otherwise it's just a matter of time until we all fall prey to them.

It's difficult to say, I probably would'nt. But from what I understand, most people join the military because it's a good job. I don't think there's too many options for people living in the districts.
For the curse of life, is the curse of want. And so, you peer... Into the fog, in hope of answers.

I would like to say yeah I would fight the titans and be a bad ass though I'd probably end up like one of the background characters and die a horrible death if I did fight. I also feel like I wouldn't even be able to use the 3D Maneuver Gear though, so maybe I'll be lucky and never make it past training. If I was somehow awesome at it though ( or everyone else in my group sucks) I'd definitely join the military police given the option.

Spoiler warning for those who are current with the anime.





After Wall Rose was breached. I don't really see that anyone has any other choice but to fight in some capacity. It's more absurd to me that people are still trying to live normally when the facade of safety has been completely ripped away at this point.

Actually now that I think about it more and read other people's responses, i missed the fact that there isn't much economic opportunities lol so the way you get money is pretty limited.

And since I am not willing to work in the underground world, I would most likely join the fight, be one of those cannon people or whatever lol or since I like science, i'll probably try to find a way to be like Hanji's lab assistant or find someone who seem like they would be a main character in a story and stick next to them and build some plot armor LOL.
