Authors note: Alright well here is another series based off a completely different anime (obviously) nevertheless while I was looking up the character profiles (mainly Kenshin and his wife Kouru) I took notice that a majority of the age's given do not add up. Example: Wiki says Kenshin is born in 1849 and is 28 by the time the series kicks in. As for his wife it says that she was born in 1862 and was 17 when the series come in. But if you do the math with Kenshin being born in 1849 and being 28 it would mean that the series would take place in 1877…which makes since but if you put his wife's information in there (born 1862 and being 17 for the beg. Of the series) then it would have to take place two years later in 1879. Most people do not look into this information but with me being an author who loves to write about not only the series itself but also before and after it, I do. (Which is why it takes a while for me to post and start fanfics.) Now if I was only writing a fic about the series I would just ignore the dates, but with this first series being about their kid….I kinda need things to add up with their ages and what not. And before hand…I would care less for Kenshin is alive and bases on him for it…so if you guys don't mind I am going to have Kenshin be 30 when the story (anime/manga) starts so its adds up. (Even though I just aged my and many others favorite guy two more years… -tear-)
15 minutes after the first authors note Holly Crap! This is getting complicated for the main reason that Samurai X was written by the author….but seeing as she is ok with it trying to make all of this make since is getting really frustrating . . . During Samurai X it is said Kenshin goes off to the First Sino-Japanese War….which is during 1894-95….and for some reason this other dumb author (who I am starting to hate right now) DOESN'T SAY WHEN KENJI IS BORN. So now I must track down the blasted Manga and see if it says in there. (oh yes this first chapter is not an actual one it is giving you the backbone to all of this. And may hold some useful info for the story)
Five minutes Later You know what to hell with the Samurai X thing, I am basing this off something similar but a hell of a lot complicated. –currently yanking at hair- Damn I know more about the Japanese history now than American (complete Lie)…ok so back to this. The original series basically ends at the end of the Meiji/Bakumatsu Era which ends in 1912….making Kenshin 63 and Kouru 50…hmm. Their old. But like Samurai X I am going to base this off the Sino-Japanese Era and a little before and after that….so in 1894 Kenshin is 45 and Kouru 32. PERFECT! (brain blast as Jimmy Neutron would say), that is about 15 years later right? (checks math) YES! So then Kenji will be 13 then…and will receive his father's sword as a late genpuku (look it up I am not explaining) –kidding it's the whole the child is a man thing in japan- at the age of 16 (which would make the year…1897 YES!) Perfect…but now what, what happens in this time period….hmmm so still the Meiji Restoration period…which ends in 1912) yes yes, so there I think I have it..and Kenji is training with his father's old sensei…. Hiko. MUHAHAHA I HAVE A PLOT NOW! Wooot…perfect, now to cause all hell for the next 15 years…. (which would make Kenji what? Errr 31? Yeah 31) –I wouldn't doubt my brain wants to kill me right now…it's the weekend and I am thinking more than I do in Geometry!- Ok so I have a general idea…of this plot (and a lot of Japans history now) I think I am going to make the profiles now…(which I may let you guys see) –grins-
