Apparently
I am not the only one to think so. It is not the middle portion. Watch that scene again. He definitely looks older than the '3 yrs later' part. Maybe I should go watch it again to see if he is wearing the same clothes to fit with your theory
Edit: I watched bits of it and noticed another thing, - it is winter when he goes back to build the plane and summer in the start.
I hope you are correct, but what did Hiroki mean by this, 'It was before the war, when the huge island called Ezo was still a foreign territory'. IIRC it was still a foreign territory in the middle of the movie. Wouldn't it stop being one, only
after the finale?
