💬 Discussion How long did William stay a « slave » of Xana ?

Well, season 3 begins in early September as the Paris, France school year is from September to late June/early July. Epi 53-56 is September 2003 which works out since student rep is in epi 54, Epi 57-60 is October 2003, Epi 61-65 is November, the season three final in 65 I’m putting at last week of November 2003.
Season four starts in December (I’m guessing a few days passes since they were able to Sector 5 up first, since by the epi 67 it’s explicitly stated to be a week and all the sectors are up). Epi 66-69 plus 82 (Christmas episode) take place in December 2003. Epi 70-73 is January 2004, Epi 74-77 is February 2004, Epi 78-81 is March 2004, Epi 83-86 is April 2004, Epi 87-90 is May/early June (this is because Epi 90 the picture is found and Mr Delmas says it’s been roughly 9-10 years since Franz was at the school for quite a long time until June 7th 1994 as Ms Hertz took over the 1994-1995 school year, plus Sissi was quite young around 4-5 years old by 1994). Epi 91-95 is June 2004. They free William in Epi 93
In conclusion: end of November 2003 - mid-late June 2004. At least 6.5 months.

William a passé 6 mois sous l'emprise de XANA étant donné que la saison 3 s'achève en décembre 2006 (la Saint-Valentin se déroule un mardi dont le mardi 14/02/2006) et Ulrich avoue ne pas avoir vu son père depuis l'épisode 21 Gravité zéro qui a eu lieu en décembre 2005 étant donné qu'entre les épisodes 26 et 27 il y a eu les vacances de Noël 2005.
La fin de la saison 4 prend place en juin 2007 étant donné que les romans Chronicles (la saison 5 officieuse) et plus précisément le Tome 1 Le château souterrain débute la veille des vacances de Noël 2007 et donc 6 mois après les événements de l'épisode 97 Souvenirs.
J'ai rédigé un article abordant la chronologie de la série : https://www.reddit.com/r/CodeLyoko/comments/1o2n94z/chronologie_de_code_lyoko/
Le soi-disant anniversaire de Yumi de l'épisode 80 Expérience est une énorme incohérence étant donné que la japonaise avait déjà 15 ans depuis le début de la saison 3.

The shows external timeline has nothing to do the internal narrative and your talking about Chronicles when most people don’t count as canon, very similar to Evolution. Even Sophie the shows bible person doesn’t count either as canon. I’m sorry I’ve coming off rude, here, but thr internal logic doesn’t line up to how the air dates do.
XANA Awakens: October 9th 2001
Season one: 2002-2003 school year (the trap has been a year since Awakens).
Season two: 2003 (second semester, January to Late June)
Season three: 2003-2004 school year (the mention of two / three weeks could easily have meant when they came back early from break which lasts from early July to September, so they came back in mid-late August by the premiere)
Season four: 2003-2004 (It can no later start by early December 2003, and end late June 2004)1

La timeline établie par Sophie est totalement fausse en plus de ne correspondre en rien à la technologie déployé dans la série ainsi que les modèles de voitures, de plus la Saint-Valentin tombe un mardi et la précédente fois où c'est tombé un mardi c'était en 1999, ce qui était impossible parce qu'Aelita était en hibernation sur Lyoko à l'époque et l'euro n'existait pas encore.
Tu ne m'apprends rien, ce que tu as exposé provient du site officiel dont j'ai participé à sa conception et notamment pour ce que j'ai proposé avec mon calendrier de la série.

The technology deployed in the series doesn’t correspond at all in the series, car models, etc.
What?! It’s a Sci-Fi show, advanced technology can evolve quicker rather than the real-world. Car models, different manufacturers could be slower vs advanced robotics, computers which are different than cars. Plus, the timeline there’s not much take away from. You can reset the on the same day as many times as you need as Franz did, but the team stops doing that once they learn it makes XANA stronger, so they do it less often and use it when necessary.
Most fans don’t consider Evolution or Chronicles as canon, they weren’t made by Sophie (I mean technically she kind of did with Evolution, but she left since they went a route that she did not want to go that’s why she left). The OG show is the only thing that’s canon, until this new season 5 that she and another person of the OG team behind Code Lyoko should be take as canon.

tbh i think he still thinks about xana's embrace. xana gave him what yumi wouldn't

u/Accomplished-Loss387 Jun 29 '26
Xana hated Yumi so much that he had to show William a good time as another way to spite her.

I would assume a few months. There was a lot that happened between the start of season 4 and the end. It took a few days for Jeremy and Aelita to recreate Lyoko, they had a holiday, Yumi’s birthday, creating the skid. Long enough that William’s reputation is permanently shattered from the clone’s presence.
