I didn't know that, I can't read Japanese, if I could I would trust me I would, this info I got from the spoilers on the thread an my understanding of them, plus none of them said there were 2 ichika's so I thought it was houki fighting the fake ichika, just deleted my ignorance on the matter

Timeline in I.S. is a bit wonky, here's the simplest one. Assume the series took place in 2015 (random guess)
Before April 2005: Ichika met Houki Somewhere in 2005: White Knight Incident September 2009: Houki Left September 2010: Rin arrive March-April 2014: Rin left April 2015: Story Start Ichika's kidnapping should take somewhere after Rin came and before she left, the only clue is Anime, where he wore a gakuran, a Junior High uniform.

WK Incident is explicitly said as happened ten years ago
Houki and Ichika met at the age of five, again, explicitly stated. it was after all one of his first memories. Houki left six years before the story start. Rin came during the new semester, fifth year grade school, one year after Houki left. Rin left 6 months prior to the story.

Chinese translation for this volume isn't out yet for me to read so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt, but I'm starting to think all IS is only good for providing characters for doujin makers to use We see fan-made stuff being more fluffy/whatever when compared to the original

I mean if Ichika was some kind of huge free agent than Japan should have made him their national representative instead of Kanzaki. Yet he's a nobody in terms of representatives and the like. |

Ichika is special in that regard
if japan is hogging him rather than say, inviting him, it'll incite riot. It's the very reason he was sent to I.S.A. without prior briefing and shit. So it's also a game of subtle politics than anything else, but so far apparently Ichika is comfortable being Japanese

I haven't gotten myself started with TLing. Still have Unicorn and stuff to go on (and exams now). Most likely, the translations will only begin in August.
Then again, opinions from spoilers n aside, this volume is really that bad. If I have to translate it, it will be both eyes closed.

Houki was also said to be "scouted" by multiple countries and simply refused to choose because she didn't want to. If Ichika wanted to, he would earn a fortune by choosing the highest bidder. EVERYONE wants to get their hands on the only male IS pilot.
