Canon Universe

Page in Taimanin Saga

Dark and Human World connected by Demon Gate

The Universe of most Visual Novels and the original. It is also called **"Old World**" in official material. Playing in a Human World similar to ours around the year 20XX. (~2070-2080)

Multiple tiny variations of the "Canon" Universe also exist that explain Bad Ending scenarios as "canon", in some alternative reality.

## History Games

### Setting

The Human World and Dark World two parallel Universes, that are connected by Demon Gates, make up the "Old World". Most of the overarching history can be checked here: History. The Human part, plays in the near future of "20XX", with a low cyberpunk aesthetic, while most looks just modern. Advanced technologies, also influenced by demonic tech, has shown up and towns with gates, have been taken over by criminals, mages and demons doing trade. The Demon part, has also been affected by human technology but, tech levels are closer to late medieval kingdoms and powerful magic demons that rule giant areas. The world is harsh, dangerous, and can have a corrupting effect on mind and body.

That "Dual Universe" follows the true endings of characters like Asagi, Yukikaze, Kiryuu and Murasaki. Characters show visually age and progresses to different occupations. Between Taimanin Asagi and Taimanin Asagi 3 lie ten to eleven years.

"\*" means the time slot is unclear and could be later. Fallen Wife, plays in one of the bad ending routes of Yukikaze 1, while all other games follow true ending routes until TA3.

### Games Secondary

Games are shown to take place in the Taimanin Universe in TABA and RPGX, with direct references to events and character, but games itself exist isolated plotwise and don't mention "Taimanins" and only "Demons" at times. They could be part of the "Canon Universe" without interrupting the story too much.

## The Reset

Taimanin Asagi 3 marks the first big splitting of Timelines. While in the Asuka harder to get "True/Golden/Asuka" ending, the "Old World" remains with Edwin Black's death.

In the Asagi "True Ending/Vampire Asagi" ending, the ZERO Universe "New World" is created with the destruction of the "Old World". The game Taimanin Asagi Battle Arena has a diversion point before Taimanin Asagi 3 and results in its own reset which creates the Taimanin RPGX world.

Important to understand is that the normal "Old World" still exists. As of now no current game takes place after Taimanin Asagi 3 however, Taimanin Yukikaze 3 has been mentioned in interviews and "will" play in the Old World.

## Trivia

* The term "canon" might be highly contentious, but is just used here to grasp the idea of the old games.
* The split after TA3, into two valid endings, has also been part of the Light Novels, which contained the two possible routes for Asuka and Asagi.
* A version of the ZERO Universe of Taimanin Asagi ZERO cameos in Taimanin Asagi 3, within the Asagi Route. As it is, the follow-up of the Asagi-Route.
