Madou Monogatari and early Puyo have an inconsistent timeline. Like as in there isn't one.
I'm a comic book fan, I'm used to essentially needing to string canon together myself.
So I figured I would share my Madou Puyo timeline headcanon with you!
First, we need to talk about Lilith. Who is Lilith? This is Lilith
Now what do we know about her from the games? Nothing. Aside from the fact she helps guard the Seraphim Orb. Everything about Lilith aside from that, including her name, comes from non canon novels called The True Madou Monogatari or Shin Madou Monogatari.
I don't like these books. Especially how they treat stuff from my religion. So things like Lilith being a Goddess and creating the world I do not consider canon. However there are three things the books establish about her that I do consider canon:
Her name
The fact she was married to The Dark Prince and the two loved each other very much
The fact that before any of the games, she was killed (I don't specify how or why because I don't take the how or why from the books)
With that out of the way, we can start our timeline!
Also, there will be no times listed. Like no, this many years listed. I do not care about that. Heck, I'm one of the few people that LIKES that the PokΓ©mon anime has time passage yet characters inexplicably do not age. I love that you can just...do that with fiction. So this is more an order of events than a timeline but I'm still gonna call it a timeline!
Anyway, next up is Arle's story from Madou Monogatari: ARS.
Now, Madou Monogatari 123. Each port of these games have different plot elements. The PC98 and Mega Drive versions of Madou 1 can't both be canon, for example. So next in the timeline is Madou Monogatari 1 for the GameGear, Rulue's story in Madou Monogatari: ARS, Schezoβs story in Madou Monogatari: ARS, Madou Monogatari 2 for the PC98, Madou Monogatari 3 for the MSX, Madou Monogatari: Michikusa Ibun, Puyo Puyo, and Madou Monogatari for the Sega Saturn
Now let's go to the end of the timeline quickly
At the end, is Madou Monogatari: Chaotic Final Exam, Puyo Puyo Sun, and Puyo Puyo~n. After Puyo Puyo~n, Arle and Carbuncle end up in Primp, Arle's hair is turned orange and Carbuncle gets bigger
Now uh...there was a reason I skipped to the end... because in between Puyo Puyo and Madou Monogatari: Chaotic Final Exam...
Yeah since Secret Of Elysium was never released in Japan I don't count it as canon. And yeah, I don't have an order for the rest of the games.
And without further adu, here is my Madou Monogatari/Puyo Puyo timeline!
(Yes I made edits to the text and now it doesnβt exactly line up with the text. Sue me)
