Also, how old do you think the Shingan guys are?
Okay so first, let me tell you my personal HCās and afterwards Iāll list how old I think they are based on myĀ āresearchā.Personal HCās: I always liked to think that Aion was surprisingly young for his age. Itās probably because heās the tallest one. I donāt know. I thought he was 18 or something, making him the youngest Shingancrimsonz member. The second-in youngest would be Crow, being 19. Yaiba should be somewhere in his early 20ā²s, maybe 21-22? And Rom⦠Well heās obviously the oldest one. Right? So Iād say 25, maybe a lilā older.
Based on some clues in the franchise: The creators described Shingancrimsonz once asĀ āteenage boysā which sort of confused me. If we take in consideration that everyone has a different age, that would create an agegap of at least 4 years between the youngest and the oldest member. And if theyāre teenage boys, thatād mean the youngest one is 15. However, I really canāt imagine one of them being that young. The minimum age Iād guess would be 16 (which is still very young, but oh well, anime wouldnāt be anime if they didnāt haveĀ āage trapsā). The only character that could be this young is Crow, as heās the only one that doesnāt live on his own yet. Yes. It is possible to live on your own before the age of 18 and something that happens in anime a lot. But itās still hard to. So if weād say that everyone that lives on their own is 18+, thatād mean that theyāre between 18 and 19. Which is rather weird, considering that Rom actsĀ āwayā older than the other ones. Iād be surprised if there would be an agegap this small between them.
But thereās one thing in the franchise that implies everyone is older than 18 or even 20 and thatās the fact that they drink and (in-game) smoke. In Japan, the legal age to do so was recently lowered from 20 to 18, however the game existed before the law came to be. If MIDI-city and Japan have similar laws, thatād mean that all of them are at least 20. I canāt say for sure that MIDI-city and Japan have the same legal age, but, characters such as Plasmagica!! who were confirmed as underage, have never been seen consuming alcohol, let alone smoking.Ā But thereās a 3rd thing that points out to the direction of being older than 20 and thatās the fact that they have tattooās. According to some articles I looked up, the law is against a minor getting tattooed.So, letās say it like this: - They have tattooās, live on their own, drink and smoke -> Hints at them being 18+- The creators called them onceĀ āteenage boysā -> Hints at them being 18-
But okay, time for individual ages, letās start off with Yaiba: As I mentioned, I thought heād be somewhere in his early twenties. In the game, heās seen smoking and he has a tattoo. In the line manga, weāve seen that he has a job. This makes me believe that heās at least 20. As I think heās older than Crow and Aion, but younger than Rom, I estimate Yaibaās age to be 22
Rom is defenitly the oldest and I think thereās a bigger age-gap between him and the other members. He has a job and used to be in another band. Considering that Trichronika came to exist and grow in the meantime, means that they disbanded at least 1 year ago. Heās also seen as āthe adultā of the group. Since I guessed Yaiba to be 22, I think Rom is at least 25
As I said I always hcādĀ Aion as the youngest member. However, that seems kinda impossible, considering that he lives on his own, drinks and has a tattoo. However I believe his age to be very close to Crow his. I think heās 20, the youngest possible if we follow theĀ ālaw logicā, but thatād give us trouble for Crow. If every Shingancrimson guy has another age, thatād mean Crow is 19 and isnāt allowed to drink yet. So we could also make Aion one year older. However, I donāt feel like agreeing with this HC, and Iāll explain why.
Crow is underage. Iām pretty sure of that. Okay, he drinks along with the other band members, but heās the only one that has no tattoo, doesnāt live on his own, talks the most about his parents (as in: heās still attached to them) and has notably the least revealing outfit. Considering this, that means he could be 15, but itās as likely heās 19. Honestly I donāt think heās 15, as I mentioned before, the Plasmagica girls donāt drink, and some of them are already 15. And following what I said when talking about Aion, I think that he and Crow are almost the same age. So thatād make Crow 19 years old
Long things short, these are their ages (oldest to youngest):Ā - Crow (19)Ā - Aion (20)Ā - Yaiba (22)Ā Ā - Rom (25)
Spoiler for S2 episode 10!
So. We got a flashback. This puts Aionās age in a new daylight and makes me more confused than ever. As we know, Peipain and Hundrekko have been around Ailane for a while, yet they got their after Aion was kicked out. Aion himself looked pretty old when it happened, and I doubt he could leave the house in his early teens. However, it seemed like those happenings happened pretty long ago, as Aileen was very young back then and as I mentioned earlier, Peipain and Hundrekko werenāt around yet. Then again, Ailane looks pretty young herself and she managed to leave the house too. So... I just donāt know it anymore... Do you guys have any guesses on Aion and Ailane their ages?
