How much of a head Jessica's husband will be is up to debate as in the Ushiromiya the ones that really matter are the Ushiromiya by blood in fact Hideyoshi is less important than Eva even if he's her husband so I've no idea which place will Jessica have in the Ushiromiya family.

It's not that he needed it, in the same way he doesn't need to leave in the catbox what happened on Prime. It's that he decided it.
It can be related with whatever injury Yasu reported and the fact Ryukishi wanted to obscure its depiction.

I agree with everything else you said about Kanon probably staying imaginary during that first year. However, Kanon IS treated as though he's been entirely normally employed since 1983, with nary a hint to the contrary, and this is more likely than not, just an oversight in Ryukishi's plotting. He either thinks the people in Prime are too dumb to escape a wet paper bag, or himself didn't think the logistics through very well at all.

I would say Kanon/Yasu could surely fool Krauss but it would be hard for him to fool Natsuhi as she controls everything. So, if Yasu had Genji as accomplice, she might have fooled Krauss into thinking Kanon had been regularly hired one year sooner than Krauss thinks and, due to his schedule, Krauss never notice him, but the same wouldn't work for Natsuhi.

That's why it's easier if Kanon got a body due to Natsuhi's request, as Yasu is already her accomplice in hiding Kinzo's death and Natsuhi might have thought having an extra servant that would testify that Kinzo was fine and well would be okay while Yasu turned it around and used it as a way to give Kanon a body.

A 'Natsuhi is in' theory simply makes things way easier, while at the same time it doesn't require Natsuhi to be an accomplice in the whole of Yasu's plan. There's to say though this would require her to be an accomplice in Ep 1 & 3 otherwise she would have noticed something odd.

So it's possible that Yasu managed to trick her... but this damages the logic of the story and the characterization of Natsuhi. All in all I think that if the solution is that Natsuhi never noticed or if Yasu managed to pull this trick for two years it's a forced solution.

Thank goodness Jessica was always busy on his work days, I think she was starting to harbor a crush."

LOL, those evil cliffs hit again! They're the true culprit of Rokkenjima!
Actually it wasn't that the family was killed by a bomb, they were all searching for Kuwadorian before the storm started, ended up where Beato 2 fell and, in order to give a better look to the place, they all slipped down and died apart from Eva who didn't stop sightseeing and Battler who found another way.

Oh, that's for sure. Yasu's really terrible at taking decisions.
