#so this is either the boys in junior high or clamp weren’t thinking of timelines that strictly and it’s just a fun cameo

That tiny duklyon cameo panel in the CLAMP School Detectives flashback chapter is going around in my brain again.

We know Takeshi is at CLAMP school because of a scholarship so he doesn’t have to pay what all the rich kids’ families pay to have their kids go there. But again bc of that tiny background panel in CLAMP School Detectives I wonder what age he joined the school at. I assumed he hasn’t been there for his entire school life but until spotting that panel ages ago I’d always just assumed he joined at the high school level, at around 15 and was fairly new there.

The flashback in CLAMP School Detectives to when Suoh and Nokoru meet is supposed to be three years prior to current events and since CLAMP School Detectives and Duklyon are set around the same time, with Takeshi as a high school student, the flashback would put him as a junior high student.

so it’s possible he actually has been at clamp school since he was about 12 or so then which is great bc Kentaro is there in the flashback panel with him which means that Kentaro had already latched onto him a good few years before they were ever paired up to fight as Duklyon.

How he expects anyone to believe his ‘I don’t know that guy! We’re not even friends!’ nonsense after all that is hilarious.
