Talk:Titan (Anime)

Titan Physiology
In essence, I can obviously emphasize that Biological Immortality compared with Immortality, is actually quite almost undetectable when it comes to science despite the fact that semi-immortals are rediculously easy to physically kill off. I watched one of the Attack on Titan episodes and a professor asks a questioning soldier if Titans or immortal, which he simply replies, "no." But obviously, that's not at all the case. Sure, Titans can die once a soldier attacks them in the back of their neck, but like different forms of immortality (excluding Absolute Immortality ) they all stop aging once they all reach a certain point, either child/teenage/adult/elderly hood. In conclusion, Semi-Immortality is extremely hard to detect when it comes to science. Is this correct? ChocolateElemental (talk) 21:11, October 30, 2017 (UTC)


 * If you go by the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the textbook definition of "immortal" is "exempt from death." So when the soldier asks if a Titan is immortal, the answer is "no." Titans can be killed, and are therefore not immortal.


 * In pop culture, there are different levels of immortality; long-lived until killed is popular, but classically the answer is a pretty strict yes/no. The average citizen in AoT probably doesn't worry about different levels of immortality since they have bigger problems on their hands. (I imagine that nobles might debate that kind of thing, but for a soldier "can it be killed?" is all they really need to know.)


 * As far as the science part goes, I'm not sure how you're drawing your conclusion, because there's no scientific testing done in regards to Titan lifespans in the series. The topic just never comes up. At best we can say they do not age on the same terms of as a human. RuneLai (talk) 22:01, October 30, 2017 (UTC)
