An updated and revised timeline based on the one that was in the Easter Eggs fanvideo. The series uses an alternate timeline, so their year NC 1978 isn’t the same as our 1978.
UPDATE: A fully revised timeline including S2 and both movies is now available.
Notes:
- Numbers in 【 】 refer to episodes where the events happened or were displayed the first time.
- Grey text is approximation; we know the likely order in which something happened but we don’t know the exact year.
- Red text is confirmed dates.
- I could place the approximated births of the other heroes on the timeline, but there is too much uncertainty of their ages.
- It is possible that day 2 of Ouroboros attack is actually split over two days, but when watching it, it seems like it all takes place over a single day.

May I suggest adding “Yuri Petrov gains his power” along with “Legend dies”?
Excellent, added it now.
I hadn’t added it before because we weren’t sure if he discovered his power then or if he’d known about it earlier. Nishida’s recent comments seem to point to that it was the first time he used his power.
I just thought the boy looked pretty shocked himself – waiting for confirmation/further information is a better choice I guess! Thank you so much for your hard work!
I find it really interesting how much attention they paid to the timeline,
three/four episodes for September, October, November,
and then 9 episodes right in December,
4/5 of them occurring all in one day
Suggest an addition for a time when Wild Tiger was King of Heroes? It’s a bit hazy on the WHEN, though, but you can see it (according to the Wiki) at the end of episode 8. It’s AT LEAST two years ago, and probably more like 5. Thoughts?
If you’re referring to the scene where Yuri is looking through Tiger’s file, it doesn’t specify that he was KoH. The file says he was “ranked at the top” in his early hero years. This isn’t the same as being KoH, I think if he’d been KoH the file would have stated so.
Because Ivan Karelin (Origami Cyclone) is 18 in episode 1 and Barnaby is 23 in episode one, that makes Ivan’s year of birth NC 1958… yeah, I’m just saying this because I wanted to know his year of birth, haha. I have a question though, what does NC mean?
NC is their way of separating the T&B timeline from our own, real world timeline. Other Sunrise shows have used the NC prefix too, like some Gundam series.
Exactly where do we find out that Barnaby gained his hundred power? I’ve gone over that episode three times and I keep missing it.
Didn’t Tiger&Bunny return to the Hero business after 10 months? Why does this show a year as being passed?
