Isayama-Sensei’s Face-to-Face Interview with Questions from Mingeki!
– We collected questions from online fans from the official fan website, Mingeki. The first question is, “Even though very brutal battles continue on, for our characters, what places and moments calm them?”
Isayama: While in the Survey Corps, they constantly pace back and forth, but there aren’t many personal items in their rooms. Therefore, what calms them are probably the times and places they experienced together with their comrades. Basically, locations that are familiar to them. In tankobon volume one, there was actually a scene where some characters were setting up cannons together on top the walls, but not many opportunities like that existed. Even if you were able to keep calm while standing alone on the wall, that kind of unusual circumstance [in volume one] is even more calming. A soldier should not waste resources, after all. [T/N: Not certain what Isayama means by this last sentence, but it may have something to do with Sasha stealing meat?]
– Ah, so it’s like that. It’s true that even during off times, everyone is asked to maintain their military instincts. The next question is, “Please tell us about how the soldiers spend one of their days.”
Isayama: When the Survey Corps aren’t on an expedition, they will train for the next one - whether it’s practicing for extended journeys or servicing their weaponry. Depending on the person, there might be many meetings that they have to join. When training concludes, sometimes they could receive the privilege to visit their home.
