Era Timeline
This Stranger Than Heaven era timeline is a fifty-year strip of the five cities the campaign actually names. It is for trailer montage confusion and for planning which wiki chapter to read next. Deep writing lives on Kokura, Kure, Osaka, and the cities hub for Atami and Shinjuku. No 1965 secret is printed here because Yokoyama has not printed one either.
How to ride the strip
Each station has a year, a place, a job, and the people the marketing has already parked there. 1915 is arrival and vice. 1929 is family and a feared name. 1943 is production under glitter. 1951 is postcard Japan with American weather and Suzy Day. 1965 is the pleasure district and a promised reveal. Click through in order once, then jump to the city page that matches the trailer you just watched. If steam and neon were in the same clip, you watched an edit, not a day.
Combat limbs do not change along the strip. Context does. That is why the cheatsheet stays one page while this timeline is five. Recordings, however, do change: Abe said era, place, and time of day alter the sound library. Pocket the decade you are in. The show guide is the verb list; this strip is the calendar.
People, parked without spoilers
Orpheus is a 1915 gravity well. Iwaki and the Red Oni belong to 1929. Yu as show-business partner is a 1943 headline, after a Fukuoka split. Suzy Day is a 1951 ignition. Shinjuku 1965 gets a secret and a Kamurocho rhyme, not a guest-star list. The cast page is the alphabet; this timeline is the order you are allowed to expect them. If a later broadcast parks someone on a new year, the station text updates. We will not park Kiryu on a station because a comment told us to. The Tojo page is the discipline for that urge.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I replay an earlier city later?
Not shown. The story is successive eras. Record and finish business before the strip moves.
Why is 1951 thinner than 1943 on this wiki?
Fewer public combat demos. When footage density matches Osaka, Atami gets a long guide like the others.
Is Shinjuku the same as Kamurocho?
It is the pleasure-district rhyme. Yokoyama has said this is not a recap of later heroes. Treat 1965 as itself.
