Shukichi's high school years

(I originally posted about this here : link)

Since Japanese high school is only three years in length, and Shukichi was in his 3rd year during this 10 year ago flashback, wouldn't his entering into high school be only roughly 12-13 years ago?
Example:
Year 1 = 12 years ago
Year 2 = 11 years ago
Year 3 = 10 years ago....
Then graduating some time during that year so that he still meets Yumi roughly 10 years ago, but with his name already changed to Haneda.

After combining it all, I imagined it going something like this:

  Show spoilers »

> Shuichi is born

> 28 years ago Shuukichi born

> slightly over the 17 year ago mark Masumi is conceived, in that the parents slept together at this point

> 17 years ago the Kouji case itself happens, and the Akai dad is present in some respect, Akai dad is killed, Mary's pregnancy is starting to show. The family moves to the safety of Japan on the father's instructions by text message. Akai leaves his family for America to investigate

> 16 years ago Masumi is born while Akai was away

> 12 years ago Shuukichi enters High school with the family name Sera (High School in Japan is 3 years, so 12 years ago, 11 years ago and graduating at the end of 10 years ago)

> 10 years ago Shuichi is reunited with his family at the beach in Japan. Shuuichi says that Shuukichi must be in his 3rd year of High school. Later in the same year Shuukichi graduates High school and changes his name to Haneda, then meets Yumi. ((Presumably between when Shuuichi went back to America and when he would have gone into the BO, he would send Masumi Jeet-kune-do tapes while she is in Elementary school which would have been between 5 and 10 years ago.))

> 7-8 years ago, after getting 3 years work experience Akai can take the exam to enter the FBI. While in the FBI he meets Jodie and they presumably have some relationship

> 5 years ago Shuichi enters the BO through a fake relationship with Akemi, however it slowly grows into something real.

> 4 years ago Masumi enters Middle school in Japan. Masumi encounters Shuuichi, Rei, and Scotch at the train station.

> 3 years ago, something occurs that makes Masumi and her mother leave the safety of Japan, Masumi claims she was in America.

> 2 years ago Shuichi is outed as an FBI agent to the BO due to Camel's mistake.

> 1 year ago, Masumi enters High school while overseas and has her first year and a half there.

> Present, Akemi sends a message to Shuuichi before her heist.

> Present, Masumi returns to Japan for some portion of the second year of High school and is in Ran and Sonoko's class.

I am a bit confused about what you want to change, but Mary's Masumi pregnancy is longer than a year according to this formulation. Also Year 1 is ages 6-7. Year 10 is ages 15-16. Year 12 is 17-18. So do you want an adjustment like this? Chekhov MacGuffin ^talk 07:28, 1 October 2016 (CEST)

I meant, Japanese High school lasts for 3 years.

Year 1 of High school (Shukichi age 15-16) = 12 years ago

Year 2 of High school (Shukichi age 16-17) = 11 years ago

Year 3 of High school (Shukichi age 17-18) = 10 years ago <-- information in Beach case says Shukichi is in 3rd year of HS, 10 years ago.

but yeah, basically that edit where it says entered high school 12-13 years ago.

As for Mary's pregnancy, I was meaning that Mary would have gotten pregnant somewhere around 17 years to 17 and 1/2 years ago. Then giving birth 9 months later during a point that is less than 17 years ago (16 years and some months). EXAMPLE: Mary becoming pregnant in July of the year, 17 years ago. Then giving birth to Masumi 9 months later (jul > aug > sept > oct > nov > dec > jan > feb > mar), which would be 16 years and 9 months ago, which is still less than 17 total years ago, so I labeled it as "16 years ago". In this example, the Kouji case would just have to happen some time just before Mary's belly started to swell to show her pregnancy and before the year change.
