Hello wikia people! Today I am writing a post to address an issue I have found while looking over the wiki's Timeline for the AOT series, concerning the Attack on Titan: Before the Fall series. I brought this issue up on the page's talk page, but never got any input on the matter from other users, so I've decided to bring it to the wiki's forums so that I may have an open discussion about it with the community and see if anyone has any information that I have somehow missed.

Now, on the wiki's timeline, the BTF series is stated to take place in the years 778-793, based on the fact that it is stated in chapter 20 of the series that Xavi Inocencio was in the Training Corps' 49th class. However, in the first chapter of the BTF manga, it is stated that Mammon's attack on Shiganshina took place 30 years after the Walls were constructed, which would place Mammon's attack (and Kuklo's birth) in the year 773, rather than 778. What's more, it is stated in chapter 16 that the Colossus Titan's attack on Shiganshina (in year 845) takes place 55 years after Kuklo had his premonition that Titan's would eventually break into the Walls, which would place the events of the series after Kuklo's escape from captivity at the Inocencio estate in the year 790, rather than 793.

Also, while procuring this information from the series, it occurred to me that the fact that Xavi was a part of the 49th Training Corp is most likely an error on the part of either Kodansha's translation, or on the part of the manga's author, Ryo Suzukaze himself as, in the year 793, the 86th Training Corp would be taking place, not the 49th (remember that each class lasts three years), as can be seen below:

Timeline of the Training Corps

 * 81st: 778
 * 82nd: 781
 * 83rd: 784
 * 84th: 787
 * 85th: 790
 * 86th: 793
 * 87th: 796
 * 88th: 799
 * 89th: 802
 * 90th: 805
 * 91st: 808
 * 92nd: 811
 * 93rd: 814
 * 94th: 817
 * 95th: 820
 * 96th: 823
 * 97th: 826
 * 98th: 829
 * 99th: 832
 * 100th: 835
 * 101st: 838
 * 102nd: 841
 * 103rd: 844
 * 104th: 847

Note: while it's not really a pressing issue, I would also like to note that the series spanning the years 773-790 would change Kuklo's age from 15 to 17.
