MCA: “closest to the latter” - Jin
PLEASE NOTE: EVENTS MAY DIFFER BETWEEN EVERY ROUTE.
Ayano [as Japanese 10th grader] initially ‘dies’ / enters the Daze.
Does not happen in Manga Route 2
Instead, the Mekakushi Trio kick her out due to disagreeing with her later revealed motives.
Has not yet had her birthday (Nov 22nd) due to dying August 15th. Chronologically would be 15 years old at death.
Shintaro is in the same school year as her, however, he’s already had his birthday [April 30; Japanese school year begins April 1st] so he would be the older one. He’s still in the same school year as her, which contains the ages of 15~16.
(Ayano would chronologically be closer to 15 when she initially ‘dies’; Shintaro already 16. They’re still close in age.)
Haruka [11th grade] initially ‘dies’.
Konoha is ‘born’ as a separate being. has an ‘immortal body’
Haruka remains trapped in the Daze.
Has not yet had his birthday (December 24) due to dying August 15th. Chronologically between 16 and 17 years old, but still has some 4-5 months left until his birthday, compared to Ayano and Hibiya (both November / earlier).
Konoha: appears created within the Daze.
Unknown if he “chooses” a birthday like Mary does.
As of most major Routes / timelines, does not appear to reach December 24th, much less October.
Takane [11th grade; same as Haruka] initially ‘dies’.
Becomes Ene. ‘immortal spirit’
same personality / memories (for the most part)
Momo is in Junior high school [as an 8th grader.]
Momo met Haruka, Takane, and Ayano [Novels Route] while she’s still a Junior high schooler. [Over the Dimension; Novel 6]
Kano, Kido, and Seto are a grade below Ayano & Shintaro, all three being in the 9th grade
Ayano and Shintaro were in 10th.
Haruka and Takane were in 11th.
“second year of high school”
Kano, Kido, and Seto were in 9th.
all one grade above Momo.
Momo was in 8th. [Junior High school] (bonus):
“ When I got to eighth grade, I didn’t enjoy being in the club anymore, so I decided to quit and spent my time after school aimlessly shopping around town. It was around that time that the number of agencies who scouted me started increasing. I refused them at first, but when the agency that I’m currently working under contacted me, my mom’s work wasn’t going well at the time, so I took up the offer to help a little with the living expenses. ” [Kisaragi Attention; Novels Route - Momo]
Sometime in the future of “ 2 years ago ”, but before present day
Manga Route 2 particularly / notably; various other Routes as well:
Ene enters Shintaro’s computer.
Momo is still in Junior high school.
Ene befriends Shintaro and later, Momo. [Manga Route 2]
Ene picks out Momo’s “aun” phrasing pink hoodie. [Manga Route 2]
The Mekakushi Trio “leave the Tateyama household”
This occurs in pretty much every major Route.
However, it is much more notable during Manga Route 2.
Spring of the present year: Momo enters high school.
Going chronologically, it’s only possible for Momo to be 15 at the start of the series. [conflicting age]
“ ——I had just enrolled at this school this spring.”
- Momo, Kisaragi Attention chapter [Novels Route]
This is when Momo would have her 15th birthday
February 14th - Momo’s birthday.
“ the year before last year ” - Momo’s high school is remodeled.
“ The year before last year, the four-story school was rebuilt and designed in a western style; a uselessly fashionable building.”
- Momo, Kisaragi Attention chapter [Novels Route]
(i.e. Momo is clarifying she enrolled in the spring, while “the year before last year”, the same school was remodeled before she entered it.)
Momo (primary schooler) drowns at the beach, her and Shintaro’s father being the price for her resurrection / initially ‘dies’.
“ Strangely enough, no matter what I do, I attract the “eyes” of people around me. ”
“ In my later years of elementary school, something I drew just happened to catch the attention of a well-known author. It became the cover of one of their novels, and on top of that, the novel became a huge hit. ”
[^ both quotes, Momo, Kisaragi Attention (Novels Route) ]
Around this time, Momo’s snake also leaves Azami
(confirmed by Azami herself; later theorized by Shintaro + Ayano while Hibiya is also present, after Hibiya’s seen Azami’s memories.) Shintaro is aware of what’s happening to Momo during elementary.
[^ confirmed via Manga Route 2]
The Dan’s estimate of when all of these events began [Novels] as well as for how long the timelines have been repeating.
Take note: the Dan might be wrong / might not have all info.
A “monster” speaks to Kano [Yobanashi Deceive pv] [Music Route]
in Novels Route, this “monster” is Clearing Eyes.
Kano confirms later on he won’t listen to Saeru anymore.
[^ Novels Route]
Kano also confirms Kenjirou maybe doesn’t remember anything that happens to him while possessed.
(as far as he knows) [^ Novels Route]
Manga Route 2: Saeru [Clearing Eyes] possesses Hibiya.
Ayano asked when the snake entered Hibiya’s body
“[ from the very start ].”
“long before” he killed Kido and before Hibiya met Ayano.
“ some hundreds of times ” [ “some hundreds” ]
The speaker of “Imaginary Reload” (presumed Mary) mentions this has repeated some “hundreds of times” now.
“ until October 7, 2200 ″
Sign seen during MCA Route [only].
“Construction of a pedestrian bridge is currently taking place until October 7, 2200″.
Mentioned by Kenjirou to Momo in Novels [Kisaragi Attention].
The festival of Obon lasts for three days; however its starting date varies within different regions of Japan. When the lunar calendar was changed to the Gregorian calendar at the beginning of the Meiji era, the localities in Japan reacted differently and this resulted in three different times of Obon. “Shichigatsu Bon” (“Bon in July”) is based on the solar calendar and is celebrated around 15 July in eastern Japan (Kantō region such as Tokyo, Yokohama and the Tōhoku region), coinciding with Chūgen. “Hachigatsu Bon” (Bon in August) is based on the lunar calendar, is celebrated around the 15th of August and is the most commonly celebrated time. “Kyū Bon” (Old Bon) is celebrated on the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and so differs each year. “Kyū Bon” is celebrated in areas like the northern part of the Kantō region, Chūgoku region, Shikoku, and the Okinawa Prefecture. These three days are not listed as public holidays but it is customary that people are given leave.
Mentioned by Hiyori Asahina in Novels Route [Kagerou Daze I]:
“Heh, the truth is, my brother-in-law [Kenjirou] is her [Momo]’s school teacher. An idol as a student, like, seriously! A moment ago he called me and said, ‘I’ll help you get her signature, why don’t you come here and have fun during the Obon?’ Sooo, I was planning to go there as a trip, but my parents went mad, saying 'you don’t even bother to study well, but you’re still playing tricks like this~’, things like that.”
Obon -> (through to?) “ next week ” (mentioned above):
“Took a lot out of you, huh. Anyway, there’s going to be a [school test] retake next week so…… Try as hard as you can.”
- Kenjirou to Momo, Kisaragi Attention Chapter (cont. below):
Kenjirou: “Well, take it easy. I’m sure that you’re still not used to this school yet, and don’t you have a concert next week?”
Momo: “Ah……! Yes…… I do……”
( ….. )
Kenjirou: “Well, don’t push yourself too hard…… Anyway, you should get going now. Didn’t you say you had a filming for a drama today or something?”
Momo: “Yes… Ah, wait! Class is going to start! I still have time!”
Kenjirou: “It’s written here in the schedule for supplementary lessons, isn’t it? Since it’s Obon, 10th graders only go to first period today. You have the next three days off. Why don’t look at the schedule for once…”
Momo: “Ehhh?! Ah, you’re right……”
Looking at the schedule he took out, there really was only one lesson today.
Don’t tell me he found out that I’ve attending my supplementary classes without looking at the schedule like this……
Momo: “Err…… Well, I’ll see you in three days!”
Kenjirou: “Yeah. It would be bad if you didn’t take a break on Obon. Well, I’m going home, so be careful on your way back.”
Momo: “I’ll be fine! I’ll take my leave for today!”
‘ Otsukimi ’ / Tsukimi (Moon Viewing)
[see: Otsukimi Recital ; mention of “viewing the moon” in “My Funny Weekend” (Mekakucity Reload)]
Tsukimi (月見) or Otsukimi (お月見), literally moon-viewing, also known as Jugoya (十五夜), are Japanese festivals honoring the autumn moon, a variant of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The celebration of the full moon typically takes place on the 15th day of the eighth month of the traditional Japanese calendar; the waxing moon is celebrated on the 13th day of the ninth month. These days normally fall in September and October of the modern solar calendar.
The tradition dates to the Heian era, and is now so popular in Japan that some people repeat the activities for several evenings following the appearance of the full moon during the eighth lunisolar month.
Date: September or October
“ This cycle has repeated for decades.
I’d realized that a long time ago. ”
- Hibiya Amamiya, “Kagerou Daze” songs’ lyrics [Music Route]
“I’ve been stuck in this tiny village for over 10 years.”
- Hibiya Amamiya, Kagerou Daze I [The Children Reason]
[^ Novels Route]
[Note: Hibiya is given an official age of 12 in MCA.]
[Hibiya would age to 13 by end of MCA (before everyone else).]
[Hiyori was given the exact same age, despite being about 4 months apart from Hibiya. Hiyori’s age is more likely to be conflicting due to her birthday being March, placing her on the younger end of a Japanese school year.]
[It is unknown if Jin did this for some intentional reason, but their ages, unlike Momo’s, don’t conflict nearly as much with the rest of the casts’. Again, may be for intentional reason.]
“and my short, 10+ years of life will be a lackluster thing that I won’t be able to remember, too.”
- Hibiya Amamiya, Kagerou Daze I [The Children Reason]
[^ Novels Route]
August 18th -> “three days have passed” [since then] [Manga Route 2]
“ The scene changed to Kano in front of the TV, hearing news about the incident. Apparently, three days have passed since then. ”
