Characters' school year
Yugi, Anzu, Jonouchi and Honda are in high school at the beginning of the series, so are at the very least in the first grade of high school.

Duels 1 and 6 give hints that it is autumn. In Duel 45, Anzu says that they are on summer vacation. Japanese summer vacation is in August. Japanese high school years start in April and end in March. To move from autumn to August, the characters would have to go up a grade, meaning they are at the least in the second grade.

In the Dungeon Dice Monsters arc, when Jonouchi asks who Ryuji is, Anzu says "there's a lot of new faces, since we went up a grade". So it seems that they recently went up another grade, putting them in the third grade.

However the Gospel of Truth and Millennium Book both say that Ryuji is in the second grade (same with Yugi, Jonouchi, Anzu, Honda, Kaiba and Bakura).

If second grade is correct and we assume Ryuji has been in their class since some time before Duel 45, Jonouchi would have to have went at least five months without noticing he was in their class.

Have I made a mistake or is there some detail that I'm overlooking? If the characters are still in the second grade by the time of Dungeon Dice Monsters, I need to recheck a lot of the dates on this page. -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:35, September 13, 2017 (UTC)
