Silver Crow attained Level 2 within two weeks, though this is probably unusually fast.

Ash Roller attained Level 2 within the first episode, after defeating Silver Crow in Haruyuki's first battle.

I conjecture that Roller has been around for no more than a few months by Episode 1.

But the FOURTH Chrome Disaster was retired two or three YEARS ago; long before Cyan Pile, let alone Crow or Roller.

More to the point, Cyan Pile, Silver Crow and Ash Roller have NEVER existed before the time of the "Level 9 Kings".

Anyway, I played around with the timeline; Crow's development and stuff are all shifted forward about 2-3 years, because the Kings alone cannot fight the Disaster. It's basically anime timeline brought forward, to the time of the third Disaster and when the Kings are Level 8.

Then you'd better make that VERY clear, somehow.

And you'd better be prepared to answer questions of "How the hell did KYH meet Haruyuki if she never left home" and other questions stemming from this "Despite A Nail" paradox.
