@Vash2123@AnimexTwts no it has been centuries 800 years. It just wasn’t explicitly shown that after the 25 year timskip of 42 year old shinra, THEN it goes to “in a far distant future” when lord death was creating kid.
@GrillexD Yeah the ending is written with supposed SE knowledge. You’d have to deduce pretty hard to notice a large time elapse otherwise.
Maka reading the story like it’s a legend, Death creating a kid that looks like Shinra, etc these things would be weird if Shinra weren’t long dead.
