Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's year
The beginning of the ''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's'' manga takes place in 20XX. i.e. some year between 2000 and 2099 inclusive.

''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' starts in 2004 and goes on for three years, so it ends in 2007. Zero Reverse, which happens 17 years before ''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's begins, could not have taken place when GX ends, so 5D's'' must take place some time after 2024. So it happens sometime between 2024 and 2099.

Someone in Janime pointed this out. That screens shows the date for Jack and Dragan's Duel, back when Jack was still King; Wednesday 8 March. The years where there is a Wednesday 8 March between 2020 and 2099 are 2026, 2037, 2043, 2048, 2054, 2065, 2071, 2076, 2082, 2093 and 2099. (check).

Dragan said that that Duel took place three years before the WRGP. Anyone know how long after the beginning of the series the WRGP takes place? So 5D's must take place about 2-3 years after any of the possible Wednesday 8 April years.

It looks like the 2099 year could be eliminated, since 2-3 years later won't be 20XX, but we don't know the anime and manga begin at the exact same time, so it might still be an option.

People have said 2026 is too early because that would mean Zero Reverse happened around 2011, which is only about four years after ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' ended. They've argued that how much more modern and built up Domino City is at the time of Zero Reverse is too much for only four years. I'm not sure that totally rules out this year.

People have also pointed out Ushio's age. He's about 16-17 in 1996. 2026 would make 5D's start around 2028, making him about 46-50 years old at the beginning of 5D's. 2037 would make him 57-61. 2043 would make him 63-67. etc. The first seems to make the most sense, but contradicts the argument about Domino City's modernisation. Sorry if this sounds skeptical, but I'd really like to have this confirmed; Are people positive it is the same Ushio? I keep hearing that the Yu-Gi-Oh! 10th Anniversary Animation Book confirmed that it is the same person. I've seen the page in question and it has pictures of Ushio in Yu-Gi-Oh!, Ushio's name in ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and Ushio in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's''. I don't know what the accompanying text says. Does it definitely say that these are all the same person or was it just pointing out that "Tetsu Ushio" has been mentioned in all the series. It might be possible he's like Cid in the Final Fantasy series.

So anyone able to confirm the Ushio thing or eliminate/correct/disprove any of those years? -- Deltaneos (talk) 22:02, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
