Well, Battler has an entire life outside of Rokkenjima, and like Jessica, is said to have been a fairly popular kid.

Anyways, not doubting that Shannon was his first love, but I still don't think it was a very casual commitment, at best.

I am glad about the confirmation of future people' knowledge ... it's implied that the future is somehow aware of Battler's parentage back in EP4, when Gretel seems aware of how Beato's "Is that man even qualified to be my opponent?" argument.

Also, regarding Kyrie's 18 years, I only just noticed - her 18 years ENDED in 1980, when Asumu died, which is what the text literally says.... so I have to assume she's counting six years of Rudolf's man-whoring prior to his engagement to Asumu, and that Ryukishi chose that number of years specifically to add some resonance to the other instances of '18' being an important number.

Or ... just to make the "I'm defeating you with MATH!" bit easier.
