@conviviality104 "We" and "us" can refer to different groups. Here, "we" is Hange and Levi; "us" is the broader collective (the world). In English, "we" means "the speaker and at least one other person." It's a shared state, action, or physical proximity. These are basic plural pronouns. 1/2
@conviviality104 The phrase "what will that get us?" can also be used to question or predict the outcome of a specific action. It is a common phrase. "If we cut corners, what will that get us?" (Accident)
@conviviality104 "What do we get?" is still a strange way to read it in English. I'm thinking this was stretched to make it seem like a personal benefit. To me, it sounds exactly like "what would remain after the Rumbling if we just hide and let it happen?"
@DexBonkAllstar@oubagaku You completely misunderstood what I said. Yakuwarigo is not every day speech. It's storytelling specifically. Why are you bringing up IRL speech when that's not the topic?
@luffy18452 FFS. He doesn't even say "bitch" here. I think I know what part of the fandom you're talking about. They always make Levi's speech derogatory towards their not preferred characters.
@luffy18452 Where did this even come from? It's not the official English translation.
"Quiet, you damn four-eyes. If you want to become Titan shit, I won't stop you. But don't expose subordinates to danger."
