A soldier in WW1 suffers from shelllshock.
Shell shock (also called bullet wind, soldier's heart, battle fatigue, and operational exhaustion) is a phrase coined in World War I to describe the type of posttraumatic stress disorder many soldiers were afflicted with during the war (before PTSD itself was a term).[2] It is reaction to the intensity of the bombardment and fighting that produced a helplessness appearing variously as panic and being scared, or flight, an inability to reason, sleep, walk or talk.[3]
During the War, the concept of shell shock was ill-defined. Cases of 'shell shock' could be interpreted as either a physical or psychological injury, or simply as a lack of moral fibre. The term shell shock is still used by the Veterans Administration to describe certain parts of PTSD but mostly it has entered into popular imagination and memory, and is often identified as the signature injury of the War.
In World War II and thereafter, diagnosis of 'shell shock' was replaced by that of combat stress reaction, a similar but not identical response to the trauma of warfare and bombardment.
During the Japanese-Empire war and Imperial Civil War, shellshock is extremely prominent among Imperial troops and Allies troops since the concept of shellshock and general understanding of firearms is extremely limited to none as well as the fact that none of the soldiers and generals in the Imperial Army and Allied Army have any knowledge to prepare to deal with shellshock. As the result, a lot of encounters with JSDF tank and artillery often destroys not only tons of Imperial soldiers but also the vast morale of the Imperial soldiers in which a lot of Imperial soldiers are forced to be killed by their commanders and generals after being invalid and hysteria from the effect of shellshock. Furthermore, during JSDF Blitzkrieg Offensive, a lot of Imperials soldiers unable to stand and become incapacitated after hearing tank cannon fires at close range. Despite the terrible effect of shellshock among Imperial soldiers, Zorzal and his generals often brush its off due to their lack of regard to their soldier's well-being and cockily states that they get more soldiers to replace all the shellshocked soldiers in their army.
So far the people that can survive and overcome shellshock is extremely rare in the Special Region with Duran is the primary example.
