#yakous supposed to be the oldest detective in the gang so i assume halara is a few years younger?

idk what the fandom consensus is on yuma raincode's age but in the game i generally assumed he was like 14-16 and after the game im even more convince about that. the reason is after chapter 5 i was confused why makoto, yuma's clone who should be genetically identical to yuma and also the same age, is much taller than yuma himself. but if they used yuma's dna to clone makoto 3 years before the events of rain code, yuma would have been about 11-13, which is generally right before boys hit a growth spurt.

the idea of a boy detective becoming the head of a global detective organization isn't really too out there in a kodaka game tbh. and the child prodigy detective is a really popular trope anyway. but yeah yuma as the head of the WDO would have lived on nothing but coffee, protein bars, and like 3 hours of sleep a day during the time where he was supposed to be growing taller. meanwhile makoto, who doesn't really get to do much in kanai ward even after becoming the CEO, would have had three square nutritious meals a day and plenty of sleep. hence why makoto grew taller like a normal teenager and yuma will be a short king forever.

#shut up pandora #rain code #master detective archives: rain code #yuma kokohead #makoto kagutsuchi #but thats just a theory #a GAME theory #but yeah i ascribe to this hc specifically bc it would be rly funny #the fact that kurumi who is canonically in high school is yumas love interest also points towards him being around that age #but given that this is a kodaka game i cant assume it just from that #in his gumshoe gab yakou said he was in high school over 10 years ago so hes probably in his early to mid thirties #yakous supposed to be the oldest detective in the gang so i assume halara is a few years younger? #they seem to be the most well adjusted adult out of all of them #my vibe is that vivia sees yakou as a father figure but he also seems older than the kids so probably around halaras age or a bit younger #desuhiko is yumas age i think #fubuki had a gumshoe gab where she thinks she might have a crush on yuma but shes also generally very ignorant #just based on her height she seems older than yuma and desu so i assumed for part of the game that shes around 20 #but now i will hc her as like 2-3 years older than yuma bc if she were any older that would make the confession scene uncomfortable for me #anyway none of thsi matters bc the games will never confirm any of their ages anyway #this is just for my understanding of the characters and any fics i may write in the future lol
