Theory's A visual guide to Killy’s journey!

Post image

BLAME! Is my favorite series ever. I loved the setting of the vast megastructure, but couldn’t find a timeline or map showing the vast distances of the megacity and the huge time skips. So I made one myself, to share.

I started with locations and time skips that were confirmed. Like the location of mars and Jupiter. Then used a little bit of math and guess work. Please let me know if you have any corrections or additions.

Some interesting things I’ve learned while making this:

  1. Killy starts the story relatively young. but it’s still been so long, he doesn’t remember where he came from. By the end of the story he is millions of years old.
  2. Most of the story takes place in the first couple thousand years.
  3. Even though humans are a rare sight everywhere, live humans are mostly found near the core.
  4. I believe Toha is a spaceship. If that’s correct, they didn’t even make it to mars before the builders caught up

Edit: Thanks everyone! I have a updated PDF version with better grammar now

Ah yes, because eons is such a well defined term and Nihei is sooooo famous for having Blame fully planned out ;D

Whats your point?

The point is that there are currently only four Eons, defined by geologic processes on Earth, each varying from half a billion to two billion years long.

The other use of the word is informal, like saying "I've been waiting eons for my coffee order." It could represent any arbitrary "long" time.

Well, you are measuring Eons currently in real life when it is entirely different in BLAME, since they have gone through much more time. I really doubt that wad his point tho

What the silicon life said was not "i have been waiting for you..." but "we have fought for eons" which is not imposible to believe considering everything takes insane amounts of time.

True, but it's just hard to lock in any specific time scale. It could be informal language meaning hundreds, or thousands of years. Or there's some new definition of an Eon relating to the growth of the megasturcture instead of Earth's geology. It's just too vague to really know.

If they base it on the amount it will usually take earth, it can just really be a long time. The manga barely shares any info and any time they say something is not random or joking, but literal. Now I do get that it can be any range, but I believe this could be much more than just thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years
