#I like to think Goodwin forged Jacks documents and made him like a year younger on paper just to screw with him

Feel free to ignore this, but I have to ask since I've been rewatching yugioh 5ds and you're one of the very few blogs I've searched that mentioned Satellite Bros age order. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this and if you know other blogs that talk about it.

WHY WOULD I EVER IGNORE THIS ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS. THANK YOU SO MUCH <3

*takes deep breath* ok SO

Word of god canon is that the age order is Jack (19), Yusei (18), and Crow (17), at the start of the series.

But while you can make an argument that Yusei would have records, people who knew when he was born, or at least a birth certificate, Jack and Crow are orphans. If Jack is indeed 19, then he would have been roughly a year old when Zero Reverse happened, likely killing his parents, at the very least destroying a massive amount of city infrastructure. You tell me Jack knows his birthday and I press (X) to doubt.

Crow is apparently canonically younger than Yusei, but. His parents also died in Zero Reverse.

This. This straight up does not work.

Also Yusei is shown to be a baby when Zero Reverse occurred and if Crow's parents did indeed die in Zero Reverse when he was under a year old he there is NO WAY he would live much longer than that. That's just. How babies work.

CROW HOGAN HAS TO BE OLDER THAN YUSEI.

I will die on this hill. I watched the show thinking Crow was the middle brother and then learned their apparent canon ages after because he has to be older than Yusei for any of his backstory to make sense. Konami can fight me on this.

NARRATIVELY they are the middle and youngest child. Jack has Past motifs, Crow is Present, and Yusei is Future. Jack and Yusei's whole dynamic is the most oldest sibling vs youngest sibling drama possible.

As for Jack, I always like to think it was his birthday like, a week before Yusei leaves Satellite, because being a Newly Minted Twenty Year Old explains everything about his personality.

#jack and crow straight up dont have birth certificates #interesting note about Yusei's birthday: it is also apparently the same day as Zero Reverse. Which also just cant be true. #I choose to interpret that as the day Martha found Yusei and thats what all her kids celebrate instead of birthdays #and at some point Yusei just forgot thats not the actual day he was born #Im sorry konami if I'm not meant to read Yusei as the youngest of the three #why have Jack and Crow shelter him from physical and emotional abuse until they have to leave him for their own reasons #leaving Yusei in a dangerous home situation that he was previously unaware of because the other two functioned as a shield #HUH KONAMI??????????? #Jack is SO eldest sibling coded #Crow is SO middle child coded #Yusei is SO youngest brother coded #I like to think Goodwin forged Jacks documents and made him like a year younger on paper just to screw with him #yugioh #yugioh 5ds #ygo 5ds #ygo #5ds #asks #answered asks #yusei fudo #jack atlas #crow hogan
