This is the companion page to Story, which tells the beginning of Ryvius, and Episode Synopsis, which tells the story episode by episode. This page will utilize the Episode Synopsis in links, and add information from the artbooks, which comes from the drama CDs and other sources. Reading the Timeline: Dates are arranged by year, month, and then day, when known. Because most exact dates are not known, a time skip of indeterminate length is indicated by a new paragraph with a dash in front. Information found in books are noted in italics, followed by the book I got it from. Birthdays are listed in various materials, and in this timeline are listed AFTER the events in the larger periods of time. I'm presuming that ages given in them are for the start of the series. Any ages that I have doubt of, or are surpised by, have little (?)s (and probably huge comments) next to them. Also, this page has Huge Spoilers. Please do not read if you are not prepared for information at the end of the series. ----------- Year AD 2137- Geduld Phenomenon occurs. The solar system is blanketed in a cloud-like sea of particles and radiation caused by a massive solar flare (explained by Kouji at the beginning of sere 7). 2213- Ryvius accident- The experimental Vaia-ship, Black Ryvius, awakens partially during an attenpmt to move the two parts, the bratica and the Vital Guarder, separately.

The elite Zwei students begin a simulation of a program to send the Liebe Delta near the Geduld Sea. It is sabotaged. Events of Sere 1.

Team Blue get their hands on Good Turtleland III and beat information out of him. The Tandel anchors the Ryvius.

Nicks shows Ikumi and Kouji the robot he found. Yuki beats the crap out of Kouji. May 2- The Ryvius awakens and destroys Abend 1 and Abend 2. Airs Blue's 15th or 16th birthday, depending on how you look at it (he's listed as being "15" so mostly likely he turned fifteen...). May to June- The Zwei learn more about the ship (sere 6). Gran start VG training with the top four Second Class Navigators. Team Blue takes over the bridge (sere 7). -Lucson first sights a Vaia- a "space-squid" (sere 7, near the end). -Battle at Mars (sere 8, 9, and 10). Gran and Son's betrayal and punishment (10). Kouji arranges a ship-wide party to raise morale.

When Kozue acts out, Reiko asks if she wants to be like him. August 27- Yuki's 15th birthday (I know I said "ages at the beginning of the series. Yuki is listed at 15, which, if he turned 16, would make him a mere three months younger than Kouji. Making him 14-turning-15 for the beginning gives Mommy Aiba fifteen months in between her boys, which is much more reasonable). August 31- Juli's 17th birthday. September 1- Faina's 17th birthday. Beginning of October- The Crimson Dicastia attacks (sere 17). Battle against the Dicastia. Kouji finds Blue. Ikumi sides with Yuki (to his surprise) when Yuki calls him out for abandoning his post.

Kouji cannot get to him, and Aoi breaks down when she finds him (first part of sere 21). October 11- Cliff's 16th (?!) birthday (this would make Cliff only nine months older than Michelle, which is possible but not likely, nor comfortable for Mommy Cay. Cliff is listed as 15 in source materials, Michelle as 14. So it is more likely that Cliff is fifteen-going-on-sixteen, and Michelle is thirteen-going-on-fourteen at the beginning of the series). October 12- Heigar's 18th birthday. November 4- The Ryvius is en route to Uranus. Kouji almost uses the needlegun when he is getting beat up (again). Kouji returns to find Aranea attacking Aoi.

Around March- After Kouji leaves the hospital, he and Aoi have a date. Kutsugi visits the children who were aboard the Ryvius, asking them to return, and that day goes to both Aoi and Kouji's houses. Kouji decks him, but decides after he's gone to return (Sere 26). March 29- Aoi's 17th brithday. April 6- Kouji's 17th birthday. April 23- Ran's 18th birthday.
