Should I have made a timeline of the canon events of YYH when I wrote Anomaly? Yes. Did I? No. Do I now need to waste time rereading the beginning of the manga in order to guess how long Yusuke spent dead, which is a mostly irrelevant detail to what I want to write? How dare you even ask.

#yusuke eats a car in december 1990 #which is when yyh began serialization #we can assume this to be true because chapter 5 happens during christmas #and the first 3 chapters happen within days. probably a week or so #the dark tournament is late march-early april #we know because yuusuke says the last 10 days felt like a year #and kuwabara says school begins the next day #and we know that was the holiday at the end of the third semester because next time they're in class they've gone up a grade #so they probably took the shipback home on april 7th #if it's 1991 that is #toguro tells yusuke that the tournament will be in 2 months when he's invited #so this happens on the last week of january - first of february #which means the artifacts of darkness genkai's tournament the saint beasts and yukina's rescue all happen in january #the first time he trains with genkai he spends half a month with her #there isn't enough time to cram everything in unless he didn't have a single break between assignments #the other option is that he spent most of 1991 floating around and the artifacts and genkai's tournament took place late in the year #which would put the saint beasts sometime in early january and yukina's rescue mid-late january #so was he a ghost for a month or 11? 11 makes more sense right?#well fuck you says the text #because yuusuke dies at age 14 #in winter #and we can deduce thanks to the three kings saga that his birthday is in june #this puts him in his second year of middle school when he dies #and when he comes back from the tournament he's a third year middle schooler #so canonically according to the manga yusuke spent one month as a ghost and then he lived through an inordinarily long january #like 5 or 6 weeks worth of month #btw you should've read all this as a droning mumble #tacky ramblings
