If the Titans in 'Attack on Titan' Really Existed: Could Humanity Survive?

If Titans really appeared on Earth, would we be able to survive? Does humanity stand a chance against these giant creatures, or will we all just become their meal?

Titan: The Giant Threat

Attack on Titan  is set 2,000 years in the future, when humanity lives behind giant walls 50 meters high to avoid the attacks of Titans - man-eating giants ranging in size from 4 to 17 meters. The largest Titans can be up to 60 meters tall, breaking through the protective walls and opening the way for a series of other Titans to invade human cities. With their giant appearance and superior strength, Titans seem to have no opponents. They are agile, strong and can regenerate when injured, making them an unpredictable threat.

What technology can fight Titan?

In the comics, soldiers use a special system called the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear , which allows them to fly through the air and attack Titans from multiple directions. However, in the real world, we will need more modern technology to deal with these giants.

Perhaps helicopters, drones, and even flight suits could be used to attack from the air. This is important because Titans have only one weak spot: their napes . To kill a Titan, we have to get close to this spot, which is seemingly impossible to attack from the ground. But even with sniper rifles or heavy weapons, hitting this weak spot is not easy because Titans can move very quickly.

Using Nuclear Weapons: Option or Disaster?

Nuclear weapons may seem like the obvious choice when faced with giant creatures, but they can cause more problems than solutions. Nuclear explosions create toxic radioactive fallout, contaminating large areas of land and causing severe environmental damage. In addition, the process of rebuilding after a nuclear attack can take decades, not to mention the loss of life and property.

Instead, perhaps a more effective approach would be to use high-precision weapons like sniper rifles to target the weak point at the back of the Titan's neck from a distance. However, this also requires skill and luck, as Titans have the ability to regenerate , making this task extremely difficult.

A more effective approach is to use high precision weapons to attack Titans.

Survival Strategy: Shelter and Defense

In the event of a Titan appearance, evacuation from the danger zone is paramount. People living in high-rise buildings or densely populated urban areas are at greater risk, as Titans can easily destroy these structures. One possible safety strategy is to take shelter underground, in fortified bunkers or deep underground shelters.

In New York, the Washington Heights subway station, 180 feet underground, could be a safe haven. Or, if you have the funds, an underground bunker like the one in Kansas, which is 15 stories deep and can house 75 people for up to five years, could be ideal. However, building and maintaining these shelters is not easy and requires careful planning.

Evacuating from the danger zone is of utmost importance when a Titan appears.

Titan Shifters: The Greater Threat

Even if humans can destroy the regular Titans, there is still a greater threat: Titan Shifters . These are special Titans created from humans. They have the ability to transform into giants that are extremely powerful and much more dangerous. The largest of these Titans can release temperatures of up to 602°C, hot enough to incinerate everything around them.

The only way to kill Titan Shifters is to remove the human host from their necks. However, approaching and defeating these Titans is not easy. Battles with Titan Shifters can cause widespread devastation and kill thousands of people in a matter of seconds.

The Ultimate Solution: Block the Sunlight?

One of the interesting elements in Attack on Titan is that Titans get their energy from sunlight. This opens up a possibility : if we could temporarily block sunlight, Titans could lose their power and become weak. This could slow down their attacks and give humans more time to figure out a more effective way to kill them.

Titan Shifters are special Titans created from humans.

Blocking sunlight could also have the added benefit of slowing global warming, but this remains an unproven and potentially risky hypothesis. Regardless of how we figure out how to deal with Titan, it's clear that confronting these giant creatures will require a combination of science, technology, and strategy.

If Titans do appear on Earth, humanity will face an unprecedented challenge. While we can use modern technology and weapons to fight them, completely destroying the Titans is still a difficult task. The best survival strategy is probably a combination of smart defense, advanced technology, and hoping that we can figure out their weaknesses before it's too late.
