I was right! Take that you Naysayers. Confirmation on a character's age.

I just figured she was "generic anime teenager" years old. Younger than the adults of the cast, but old enough to participate in the plot. Never particularly cared enough to think about it harder than that.

Yeah, 14-16 is like 90% of anime characters

[AwesomeJr44]

Just stop now.

Forget her age can we talk about how adorable is that she took Thancred's surname as her own?




Also we finally know Ardbert's last name being Hylfyst which is funny considering thats a roegadyn name.

Just to say: Japan just, like in the last month or two, raised the age of consent to 16.

...From 13.

I need to look up if this is accurate, because my understanding was that in Japan age of consent was set individually by each prefecture, (most of them setting it to seventeen or eighteen) with the only 'federal' level rule being that a prefecture couldn't go any lower than 13.

The real question we should all asking is, if Ryne is still underaged should Thancred be arrested for child abandonment?

[TheMightyMollusk]

Considering the alternative was to stay and die?

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

Huh...neat.
Im still going to look at her as Ryne, not as her Age.

And I didnt Look at her "Eden Shiva Form" in any way other then, she became an Avatar for Shiva.
Im not here to get my Jimmies Rustled.....Im here to play a Videogame.

It ask questions about people that need to raise these questions and to upon that find excuses..

It makes one go like hmmm?

[Saranade]

Things that make you go "hmmmmm?"

Anyway, 17 is actually age of consent where i am from. Toodaloo.

The prefectures in Japan have had consent set to 18 for awhile now. The change in law is at a federal level with a few additional things.

I need to look up if this is accurate, because my understanding was that in Japan age of consent was set individually by each prefecture, (most of them setting it to seventeen or eighteen) with the only 'federal' level rule being that a prefecture couldn't go any lower than 13.

This is correct, it also tried to tie up loopholes and to try and regulate things like manga characters who aren’t real (aka “anything depicting characters under age blahblah” is included)… very specifically loli/shota nonsense.
