btw I've only finished up to 2-4 so far, like i just got Suletta

but that's kinda what sparked this. So the Vanadis Incident was 21 years ago. Cool. Okay. That's where Gund-Arms AKA Gundams come from. But... Gundam Fights. Mobile Fighter gundams.

the Gundam Fights are held every four years. The 13th was the last.

So presented as is, gundams are old as shit, and Gund-Arms predate the One year War, as there's only 8 years between the one year war and Zeta, which is presented as the most recent UC rep.

That just seems kinda wacky to me somehow. Kamille and Suletta are the same age

They very wisely don't disclose the G Gundam characters' ages, it seems

Usually i'm able to suspend my disbelief for these kinda shenanigans but i'm not really sure why this in particular hit differently for me. i'd probably notice more if i was more familiar with the other major series

unrelated but god DAMN I could sit hear listening to the Burning Finger theme for an hour, i live for this sax

Don't forget also

that 19 years ago Ryoma and the Shin Getter disappeared

and that somehow the Byston Well was involved with the war between Earth and Space

OH AND ALSO that Durandal was one of the people part of leading Space which means that the One Year War basically had to also include the events of SEED and the Gryps Conflict had to include the events of Destiny

AND WHILE THOSE WERE HAPPENING ALSO THE FUCKING BLACK KNIGHT REBELLION FROM CODE GEASS AND THE WAR BETWEEN OZ/ROMEFELLAR/AFA WAS ALSO HAPPENING

And also

AND ALSO

The Devil Gundam conflict including the DEVIL GUNDAM COLONY INCIDENT because everyone makes fun of Domon for "the most romantic confession in the universe" was also a part of the GrypsDestinyBlackKnightRebellion

AND the conflict with Doctor Hell from Mazinger

AND the conflict with the bad guys from Combattler V

And for some reason...Kallen just knows literally everyone because of this on a semi-personal level

Because after all this bullshit The Revolutionary War happened in the gap between the Zero Requiem and now. Unless I misread that entry

Yeah at least going off of kallen basically everyone was involved in the revolutionary war

i think this one is REALLY expecting you to handwave a lot of time compression, for some reason it stands out more here than i think it did for me in past series. At least I think X got around this by having alternate universes crossing over, so you could manage that better. I didn't get far in V and i don't remember it being an issue in T

maybe it's because T had a lot of series just picking up from the beginning or handwaving their events as being on another planet or something or other, so it's not a hundred wars all happening on earth at the same time

ah wait no the Revolutionary War WAS what this whole mess was not the time after it, I did read it wrong

It's so weird we had all this own world stuff and then also "SO THEN THE BYSTON WELL FORCES SHOWED UP TOO-"

okay after re reading things it sounds like the One Year War and SEED basically happened at the same time, then the 13th Gundam Fight which got interrupted by the Devil Gundam incident which took away Japan's rights to win which they were gonna use to basically kick the shit out of Brittannia, and then it kinda devolved from there into the rest of the mess.

Because OF COURSE Britannia would be the ones who funded the fucking Titans
