Assumption and Speculation

This wiki, like any fiction compendium, is required to make some minor or major assumptions.

Here are listed some in different levels of confidence. (This will be updated soon)

### High Confidence

* Demons, typically age much slower, most demons encountered are ancient. Certain characters that have become demons don't age visibly.
	+ Might not be true for all demonic species. It is stated that powerful demons, inspired the legends of the human world, but demons also sometimes inherited the name, so it is unclear if all "legendary" named demons are in fact the true originator of those legends. (The counterpoint is Lilith Abel Bindernagel, which is named after Lilith the First)
* Information provided by scientists, like Kotani Kenji or Linoa Serin, is for the most part the word of the author. The same goes for characters like Edwin Black, or demonic Asagi, which have outsider knowledge.
	+ That Taima Particles have some extradimensional interaction, or otherwise, are "speculation of a character" but likely true. Often, this is also confirmed with additional material, in the case of how a "reset" works.
	+ In the case, a character trying to explain speculative information, which they themselves do not fully understand, like in the case of a time split "Singularity", explained by Future Yukikaze. This still has a level of uncertainty.
* LILITH-IZM Taimanin stories "what ifs" are canon. Taimanin Asagi Chaos Arena, Taimanin Asagi Summer Days, Taimanin Asagi The Nightmare.
	+ Does not contradict material, and is referenced.
* Progression of time and passing of years in the Online Universes. Progression of this time aligned with the Japanese release of events for Taimanin RPG, 2018=2082, 2024=2088
	+ Session events are mentioned in both normal chapters and story chapters. Certain characters make yearly visits. Flashbacks ignore this rule. Regardless, the timeline can be inconsistent at times and "floating" without any explanation.
* Information provided by the main writers is correct. Dates like 2076 for TA2. 2082 for TA3 and RPGX. Information by promotional material or the Lilith Website is error free.
	+ At times, this can contradict each other, specially with the placement of TA2, in which the writer is preferred.
* Certain characters can be used as "standard" to learn about timelines, which have yet not provided a lot of information. Amamiya Shisui being a ghost-like, means the world has to exist past a TABA Reset. Saya Neo exists, meaning Saya existed.

### Normal Confidence

* Otherworld or the Spirit World and just other Parallel Universe are not the same, even if an Otherworld Gate can connect.
	+ The term might not be fully defined within, and has shifted around sightly. However, Otherworld and Parallel Universes are treated largely different. Upcoming information might change this.
* Spirits are sometimes called demons and other times not. Brain Flayers are not normal demons.
	+ What is and isn't a "demon" outside their origin being the demon realm is overall, even in real life's fiction, hard to define.
* Characters like Felicia are alive not only in TABA, but also in the normal canon.
	+ Though, she was close to death, she was taken by Black to save her life.
* Section Two, Section Three, Section Four, Section Seven and Section Eight, are all part of the same "count" of groups, and not fully separated Japanese government groups.
	+ Specially are connected thanks to the cameo's of characters in TABA.
* Games like Witch of Steel Annerose, Onmyo Knight Towako Fallen Wife always belonged to the Taimanin series because of references within them. In the case of Steel Witch, even being referenced in TA3. Other games are retroactive continuity, with them fitting into the universe. Though it is possible that older games, like the Special Agent Rei & Fuko, formulated parts of the setting, before the Taimanin games.
* Birthdays of the "main girls" of the series. Most come from the "april fools" material, which can otherwise not be trusted. However, other minor details like measurements are the same on official material.
	+ Until officially confirmed, hard to say. Taimanin GOGO did confirm birthdays, but not for these main girls so far.
* The birth dates of characters with "Around".
	+ Yuri Hisui is a senior of Kotaro in RPGX, if Kotaro was born 2065 but still goes to Gosha. This makes her around 2063. However, we do not know the system that a ninja school operates on, and we do not know if Hisui is in any form a special case, which makes it less certain. Furthermore, in the case a "grade" is given in the bio, it is unclear if that was her grade when the game started or the current one.
* A cameo in TABA, of a Lilith character, in which it is noted that they are "from that universe", also makes it canon retroactively for the Old Timeline.
	+ Some characters might explicitly state they are "not from this world" but this cannot prove the opposite. As an example, the ZERO-like Sakura in TABA, is not of that world, but a normal Sakura exists in it.
* Asagi's ability does not speed her up but slows down the universe. This could go either way, it describes some level of spacetime manipulation in her ability, which seems to be less straight forward.
* If Asagi is not fully corrupted by Black in a reset, she can break free from the fused form, in the new world.
	+ Though, she does so in one possible world after TABA. It is unclear if it is fully due to her own rejection of becoming a demon or the special circumstances.
* Flashbacks in the Online Games are always from the starting year and ignore any time progression.
	+ As an example; The Edwin Black Flashback for the founding of Nomad. Gives dates and counts backwards, from 2082 not any progressed year. Examples like the much earlier Fuuma New year's party, which results in a flashback 4 years ago, with the Fuuma Amane backstory, do not make things easier, as one has to ignore that time has progressed even though in one of the event it literally is a new year's party. Regardless of "static dates" or "dynamic dates", there is often a lack of consistency and a bit of a **floating timeline**.

* Character heights for certain character.
	+ Outside of the Visual Novel characters and some exception, most characters are not given hard numbers on their height or weight. We used in some cases the character sheets, next to known characters with height or compared the sizes in Action Taimanin but this is far from perfect. AT specially, has some inconsistency to confirmed numbers, as an example; Rinko and Oboro are 172cm, Shiranu is 170 but in AT, Shiranui is taller than both characters. It should therefore just seen as a way to get the overall "height vibe", if numbers are not directly taken, it will be mentioned in the trivia section.

### Low Confidence

* Placement of Taimanin Asagi The Nightmare and Taimanin Asagi Summer Days before Taimanin Yukikaze and after Taimanin Asagi 2.
	+ The dialogue is not clear enough. "The Nightmare" is for sure after Taimanin Asagi 2 but can't be pinned down. While Summer Days, only vaguely mentions an important mission near the end, with it being unclear what mission is meant.
* The birthdates of characters with "Approximate".
	+ As an example Fuuma Amane, her young version, which has NSFW scenes, would have been active in 2068. It is assumed here she had been 18 so Approximate 2050. Other information which states she is older than Tokiko. Might further support this age. This is the basic idea of "Approximate".
* Taimanin Asagi 1+2 and Taimanin Asagi 3 occurred on the same timeline.
	+ Multiple inconsistencies to old events with TA3. See below, in speculation.
* Mother Ocean and Otherworld are distinct terms.
	+ The greater "cosmology" of the Lilith Multiverse is just unclear.
* Edwin Black and Kuroi Ryuuji are purely vampire or Incubus, both show abilities far above what the species normally can do. Their true forms also barely resemble their own species. Black's ability and connection to the Aion, the fact he can absorb other abilities and keep them after the reset, is also rather dubious. However, without clear confirmation, these two will be treaty as normal members of those species.
* Vampires are normal demons and are not included in the same categories as Spirits and Brain Flayers.
	+ Vampires, might be ancestors of Aion, and "primordial Vampires" might be just Aion, which are spirits.

* The demonic blood of Taimanin, comes not only from vampires but other demons.
	+ Never fully confirmed. TA3 and Taimanin Saga only mention vampires. Later online games state that certain clans, do mention some "blessing" from a demon or just state they are ancestors from some other demonic being. However, these are legends and never confirmed.

## Speculation

Are not included in the wiki.

* There is an unknown timeline split between Taimanin Asagi 2 and Taimanin Asagi 3.
	+ As Taimanin Asagi 3 began to introduce the concept of the Timeline split and Reset, and Black stated also in ZERO, he had done so before, the concept is not too wild. The placement, explains some of the inconsistencies. Clone Oboro states, that "Oboro" had worked for the Chinese Union, something never mentioned and impossible in TA3. The time difference from TA1 to TA2 was originally 1 year, but now in TA3 is 4 years. Asagi's demonic form is different. Sakura inconsistent age, and the significant difference in size of the Taimanin organization.
* Aion, and the demonic forms of Taimanin are the same.
* Action Taimanin, plays in the year 2086. Should TA2 still play around 2076, and Saya NEO be 10 years as stated. However, this is speculation because we do not know if TA2 did not happen at a different date in AT. It is possible, the same way that TA2 played around 2071-2072 like it used to be- which also could allow Saya NEO to be 10 in the year 2082. This also ignores a dynamic timeline, which also falls short to solve the mystery of Saya NEO's age and TA2's placement.
