This Shiren Series Speculated Timeline page is about theories and speculation on the Shiren series timeline contributed by the fan community. For the official canon order of the stories, see Shiren:Timeline.

The Timeline of Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer series is hazy at best. Though there is a linear story for the eponymous protagonist and his friends and foes, the exact years are never given. While some aspects of the timeline are canonical, such as character ages in relation to each other, others, such as the years that events take place are entirely speculation based on in-game dialogue and events, primarily those of Wii Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer 3 - The Sleeping Princess and the Karakuri Mansion.[1]

The Story So Far

Years

  • Events in Shiren 3 may indicate that the game is set in the 18 century.
  • The character Millie in Shiren 4 carries a revolver, which wasn't invented until 1831.[2]
  • The character Millie in Shiren 4 flies a hang glider, which weren't invented until 1891.[3]
  • The character Millie in Shiren 4 claims to be travelling to Texas, which sets the timeline as far back as 1684.[4]

Locations

  • The series' locations are set in feudal Japan, which was suggested by the series' scenario writer Shin-ichiro Tomie.[5]

After founding Otsutsuki Village at the base of Hourai Mountain, he climbs the mountain and makes a deal with Izanami; in return, she gives him the Ochimizu and transforms him into a dragon. He is presumed to have died there, and over time he is assumed to have become a crane god watching over Otsutsuki Village.
