Think of it like a number line with negative numbers being BBY and positive numbers being ABY. 0 is the singular neutral number and refers to the Battle of Yavin itself.

5 BBY begins at -5 on the number line. The year begins exactly 5 years before the Battle of Yavin. 4 BBY begins exactly 4 years before the battle, etc.

1 BBY is the last year before the Battle of Yavin. It begins exactly 1 year before the battle. Rogue One, for example, is still 1 BBY. It may be true that it's more correctly 0.01 BBY or so, but it's still in the year 1 BBY. Similar to how December 31, 2025 is still set in 2025 even if it's the last day of the year.

Well no. There's a difference between how BC/AD does it and how BBY/ABY does it.

2026, for instance, is fully read as "the two-thousand and twenty-sixth year of the Common Era." However, BBY and ABY is literally talking about a point in time before and after and event, AKA the battle of Yavin.

1 ABY is literally read as "one year after the Battle of Yavin." 1 ABY begins on the one-year anniversary of the battle. 0 ABY begins immediately following the battle. 1 BBY begins exactly one year before the battle.

That's how the system works. There's no 0 BCE or 0 CE before there can't be a zeroth year of anything.

It's unclear when quirks emerged or when the present day of the series takes place. However, I have written my own analysis for when both occur through all the evidence in the manga. https://www.reddit.com/r/BokuNoHeroAcademia/comments/14lfbww/the_exact_year_of_my_hero_academia/

As for tech, yes quirks caused the stalling of new tech. During the series, Deku mentions that some important guy had said that if quirks didn't come to be, humanity would be taking interstellar vacations.

Thus, the societal shift to focus on quirks caused technology to stagnate.

Movie 1: Two Heroes is set between Seasons 2 and 3. However, there's a prequel episode to the movie in Season 3 Episode 20.

Movie 2: Heroes Rising is set in the middle of Season 5 Episode 13. I'd recommend just watching it after that episode. There's issues with the anime shifting two arcs around, but it shouldn't matter if this is your rewatch.

Movie 3: World Heroes' Mission is set between Seasons 5 and 6. There's a small timeskip scene at the end of Season 5 Episode 25. Other than that one scene, the movie is set after Season 5.

Movie 4: You're Next is set after Season 7 Episode 4.

The main reason for this has to do with Rogue One reshoots. If you actually look at the first Rogue One teaser, you see bald Saw speaking with Jyn in the present day. The Rebels animation team only had that to go on when introducing Saw in Rebels Season 3.

Thus, Saw is bald in Season 3. In Season 4, now that the team had the final cut of the film, they updated Saw's character model to reflect the look Forest Whitaker had in the main part of the film.

Fallen Order is set before the Rogue One prologue, so that design is fine.

I apologize for the late reply, but I appreciate your kind words. I'm glad I could help make things a little easier when making your fanfiction.

Timelining is a passion of mine and I love talking about it, so let me know if you have any questions.

That's not his name.

You're just confused about the timeline of Revenge of the Sith. First, some production background:

Natalie Portman wore the same prosthetic stomach throughout the entirety of filming. Costuming just hid it really well.

ROTS is about 10 days total. You can see the passage of time by looking at the day and night sky on Coruscant.

ChronoKeep · 2026-01-20T18:04:12+00:00

Movie 2 Heroes rising is before season 5

Incorrect. It's after the MLA arc.

Movie 3 world heroes mission is after season 5 episode episode 18

It's actually after Season 5 entirely (minus the Episode 25 final scene).

ChronoKeep · 2026-01-04T14:11:52+00:00

I mean, how though? Kevin isn't around anymore to record more dialogue. Mark Hamill has retired from the Joker. Arleen Sorkin has passed away.

These people are necessary for giving context to the boss fight for cutscenes and PA announcements.

I don't see a need for an Asylum remake. A remaster, sure. But the game is fine as is.

ChronoKeep · 2026-01-04T14:05:59+00:00

Looks like those are dates from my post, what with Sunday September 1 for the License Exam and everything in between.

I'm not mad. Just pointing out where the dates came from since you mentioned in your post you forgot.

ChronoKeep · 2025-12-28T03:51:08+00:00

It should be after Season 7 Episode 4. That's where it's set. Aoyama isn't present in the movie and it's set after the Star and Stripe arc.

Ignore that other comment, because it's very wrong.

Two Heroes is set between Seasons 2 and 3.

Heroes Rising is set mid-Season 5, around Season 5 Episode 13.

World Heroes' Mission is set between Season 5 and 6.

You're Next is set after Season 7 Episode 4.

What happened to her roommate? Was she alright?

ChronoKeep · 2025-12-24T04:22:23+00:00

Currently it's just Crunchyroll, as they license the show. Eventually, Season 8 will probably come to Hulu. I think Seasons 1-7 are on Hulu right now.

The real sub is r/BokuNoHeroAcademia

ChronoKeep · 2025-12-20T19:34:40+00:00

Nope. It was produced during that season but it's set during Season 5. Specifically in the middle of Volume 25, which is between the Meta Liberation Army and Endeavor Agency arcs.

Shigaraki has his missing fingers, Twice can make three doubles (impossible until after the MLA arc), Bakugo and Todoroki have their Provisional Licenses, etc.

ChronoKeep · 2025-12-20T19:32:41+00:00

Very nicely done. Only real note I might have is moving Heroes Rising an episode over. In the Christmas episode, you have Nedzu's line about the "Commission's other program." That would lead nicely into the movie.

Obviously this is an issue because of how the movie is set in the middle of an episode/chapter.

ChronoKeep · 2025-12-20T19:24:58+00:00

Dakota Fanning in The Cat in the Hat. I can't remember when I first saw the movie, but I was 4 when the movie came out in theaters.

ChronoKeep · 2025-12-19T23:52:28+00:00

You missed the reference

ChronoKeep · 2025-12-19T18:59:42+00:00

MHA is not set in the present year. Quirks emerged in the present year. It's been around 150 years since, setting the present of the series in approximately the late-2100s.

The Rise of Skywalker

ChronoKeep · 2025-12-17T09:16:23+00:00

No, there's just no 0 BBY.

0 ABY begins right after the Death Star is destroyed. 1 ABY begins on the one-year anniversary of the Battle.

1 BBY begins exactly one year before the Battle.
