War for Paradis arc
While assembling for training, Surma gets into a conversation with his fellow cadets about Keith Sadies's methods of teaching, alarming them with his staunch support of the Jaegerists' activities. Their conversation is interrupted by the arrival of the Jaegerists themselves; one of the Jaegerists named Floch informs all of the cadets assembled that they have arrived to recruit new members and arresting anyone who does not join them.

Surma is among those who immediately agree to join, and although he is surprised by the Jaegerists' demands to beat Keith to prove his loyalty, does not hesitate and goes through with it.

When Shiganshina District later falls under attack from Marleyan forces, the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers begin releasing military captives to assist in the defense of Eren Jaeger. Surma attempts to halt the escaping prisoners until Jean Kirschtein bluntly informs him of the danger they and Eren are in, and Surma yields as the rest of the prisoners are freed.

The military's headquarters soon comes under attack from Pure Titans which have been transformed by Zeke Jaeger, and Surma is nearly devoured by one of the Titans. The trainees are saved by Keith, who rallies them to join him in fighting off the Titans. The cadets join Keith in leading the Titans in Shiganshina to the military's headquarters where they can be killed by the soldiers waiting for them.
