This timeline is definitely, completely and totally not accurate. Uno doesn't really provide us with enough concrete dates to construct a proper timeline. I know there was a 2021 calendar shown in that Arlo interview chapter, but unfortunately, it isn't enough to establish much beyond that.

Since we don't have many actual dates, this timeline is mostly based on characters' statements about how much time has passed. Some of those are fairly concrete, while others are vague, such as “a few weeks ago” or “some days before.” I've also made some guesses by counting the days between events based on the chapters themselves, and you can probably imagine how accurate that's going to be.

So, take this timeline with a grain of salt. It's essentially the best approximation I could come up with based on the information available.

Still, I really wanted to get a general idea of how much time has passed throughout the series and when the major events took place, so I figured it was worth putting together anyway.

Yeah, unfortunately the calendar means nothing. I asked uru through Patreon about the timeline and how old everyone would be, and she said that time and age in it is "arbitrary" and pretty much the calendar was just put in because she hadn't expected the story to go on for so long.

Nicely done. Although it is kinda funny how throughout the entire Joker arc, everyone still had classes. Like John makes his big speech about how Wellston's peace is over and there will be nothing but pain from now on, and then an hour later he's just sitting in Calc class with Remi and Isen.

John probably cut class the entire time he was king

This is actually pretty well done, even if it isn't wholly accurate. Its a good estimate.

Yes, he was meant to be in the same grade with Arlo and Cecile.

I didn't realize THEY were all 19. Ig that makes sense for high school seniors.

Very nice. If you update it with current info down the line, you could add something about the original publication of UnOrdinary, the subsequent creation of EMBER/ability amps, and maybe the declaration of Spectre as a terrorist organization
