Timeline of Events

Timeline of Events surrounding the show and OAV.

#### Around 3rd Century CE

The imitation of the "Three Treasures" (Inochi no Magatama, Gou Retsu Ken, and Kikoutei) was made in several places (and was later found in an ancient grave).

### Nara and Heian Periods (710-1192)

#### 900 CE

Kenbukyo fought with Arago, but was defeated.

#### 990 CE

Arago began to invade the human's world, but was defeated by Kaos. Kaos divided the armor of Arago into nine pieces, and gave them to warriors of good hearts for keeping.

#### 1185 CE

Armor of Kongo is in the hand of Minamoto no Yoshitsune. (Note: Yoshitsune is a famous warrior in the Kamakura era in Japan.)

#### 1189 CE

Minamoto no Yoshitsune moved to the Continent (i.e. China) and became Genghis Khan.

Note from "The Nether Realm": it is not true in real history. Yoshitsune and Genghis Khan were not the same person in history. They had different parents, families, spoke different languages, had different customs, and it's just impossible for them to be the same person. If you're familiar with history. However, the story of Yoshitsune becomes Genghis Khan is a famous legend in Japan...well sort of.

#### 1989 CE (Fall)

CD drama ***Kourinden*** (*Kourinden* happened in Fall, after TV series, and Seiji talked about that he avoids contact with the others in *Kourinden* so it's unlikely to be after OAV Kikoutei Densetsu).

#### 1990 CE (Summer)

* OAV Kikoutei Densetsu. (It's unclear of whether Kikoutei Densetsu is in 1989 or 1990, even Sunrise refused to state it clearly. But Kikoutei Densetsu definitely happened in summer, and definitely came after OAV Gaiden).
