Fujimaru is 7 years old - A Full Analysis
**[This is a joke post for clarification.]**
*Fujimaru Ritsuka, the Last Master of Humanity, Enemy of the Crypters, Slayer of the Demon God King Goetia...* **is seven years old**.
Let me elaborate.
#
#Setting limits
The most important detail in this argument is that of Ritsuka's maximum age as it establishes a tail-end. Ritsuka is consistently stated to be under drinking age (rather unfortunately as the kid could really do with a chug). The drinking age in Japan is 20, meaning **Fujimaru Ritsuka is 19 at the latest.**
Fate/Grand Order's three arcs take place over three years. Working from that, we can subtract to find his maximum age.
From this, **Fujimaru would be 16 at eldest by the beginning of the game**. A fairly reasonable number, no?
-But things get a little more complicated as you look deeper in. I mean more complicated than the whole "[Melusine Gex Time Paradox](https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyrintard/s/LZ5ujk9uzR)" thing.
#
#Four Valentines a Year?
Fate/Grand Order... does not take place solely in a standard time spectrum. Due to various story causes, it operates on *both* the standard spectrum and a separate Chaldean time spectrum.
This can be evidenced best by the Summer and Christmas events. Assuming Chaldea follows only standard spectrum, there would only be **three** summer and Christmas events. Instead, there are **EIGHT** with a ninth coming this year. So unless Fujimaru and pals are just *really* into the Holiday spirit and doing this multiple times a year, **that's another nine years**.
In addition to the aforementioned **three** years, this makes for a grand (order) total of **twelve** years. However, assuming there is some overlap, we'll move that down to **NINE years having passed** since the plot began with Fujimaru joining Chaldea by... applying to go to *Antartica* of all places on a whim.
#
But that is not all. In addition to Chaldean time and real time, Fujimaru on occasion also leaves both spectrums entirely to go off on bizzare journeys for no real reason as seen by-
**A**: [Koyanskaya's valentine](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zCozBsMhF28&list=PLFeASRPMYXglEDG8mhTwu8TF2JS5zjVrE&index=206&pp=iAQB) where the Last Master of Humanity enters a hyperbolic time chamber to... gamble for *THREE MONTHS*
**B**: [Jeanne Darc Archer's valentine](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HTdhslHCv8Q&pp=ygUdSmVhbm5lIGRhcmMgYXJjaGVyIHZhbGVudGluZSA%3D) which has her spend the **entire day** with the Master presumably beating a whale till it grew legs out of fear and ran away. On account of taking an entire day, it is fundamentally incompatible with other valentines and meaning it operates on *its own time axis as well.*
#
Then, let's consider that there are approximately *300* Servants in Chaldea. Even if good ol' John Grandorder spends only a single day with each of them (and that's low balling it per bond level implications), **that's almost an entire year drained**.
Alongside that, there are numerous events which are strongly implied to be canon which take up several days each.
We can't measure definitively without specification, but even with the benefit of the doubt that not *too much* time passed in this unmentioned mysterious Chaldean time axis, let's add **THREE years to the count.**
#
With this, we can calculate Fujimaru Ritsuka's maximum age. They are at *latest* 19 by the Ordeal Call. This is twelve years since they joined Chaldea. Meaning, they joined Chaldea at the age of 19-12 =
#*...7 years old.*
#
#What does this mean?
Well, it recontextualises nearly everything. *Starting with-*
#Part 1
* Ritsuka somehow applied for a job **as a literal 7-year-old** and Olga-Marie intended on hiring and later *firing* *this small child* and sending them to the oil mines.
* Everyone was perfectly fine having this small 7-year-old wandering about during the destruction of Chaldea going to the site of origin of flame to save Mash.
* Jeanne Darc, the kind noble saviour of France (besides Kojirou)... was cool with sending a *toddler* to **fight
Huh... I'm surprised Gil's the calming one. (art by @yaki555)

## FAQs
If you want to clear the event shop, prioritizing borrowing gacha CEs from friends. Only borrow Con CE (Star's Day Off) if you start the event late.
Different servants have bonus drops for Con. Keep this in mind if you want to priorize a certain color when farming. Make sure to also equip the shop CE and Taisui in your party when you get him.
It doesn't matter which crafting/production quest you pick, they all have the same result.
Technically there are some minor story battle effects based on which plan you choose but it's insignificant.
After the event ends, you may reset the choices you have made and pick the other choices to get more silver apples. You will only get silver apples for unchosen routes (it will say which routes you've already picked).

several thousand dragons.**
* Nero was asking a f***ing baby to tell her she's beautiful, implying she has severe self confidence issues or **is just really dumb** (I lean towards the latter).
* Mash, Euryale, Drake and several others perfectly completely cool with sending a seven-year-old to *run* from HERACLES for several minutes on a suicide mission.
* **A seven-year-old DID in fact outrun the greatest hero of Greece**, meaning Heracles is downright atrocious at racing and must have been cheating in all the stories.
* **A seven year old somehow walked across the entirety of America in less than a month** on their tiny tiny legs, *implying that America in the Nasuverse is the size of a small neighbourhood*.
* Lion King was offended that **a literal child** was criticising her, causing her to fly into rage, meaning she's incredibly sensitive.
* **King Hassan** judged a baby worthy of his attention and loyalty.
* Gilgamesh was talking down to a literal 8 or 9-year-old and then grew to respect this kid. **Gilgamesh, King of Heroes... wanted a TODDLER to prove himself.**
* Similarly, Dantes was testing *an 8-year-old* for the mortal sins (what the heck are kids in the Nasuverse like?)
* Goetia, King of the Seventy Two Demon Gods... was **beaten to death by an eight-year-old** with a Shield presumably larger than their entire body.
#
#Part 1.5
* Moriarty's entire plan was to make a *small ten or eleven-year-old* lose all hope in humanity or die in the process. *What the hell sort of crime boss are you, gramps.*
* Ritsuka probably had zero understanding of what in the world was happening in Agartha and multiple adult women were furious at this **tiny tot who hadn't even started puberty** for existing.
* Salem makes way more sense since Abigail Williams would be around the same age as Ritsuka.
* Muramasa being Ritsuka's gramps is a lot more understandable, and nothing about Musashi is changed because **we already knew she was a [Censored Rintardation]**.
#
#Part 2
* Kadoc was murderously jealous of what was *at latest* **a 13 to 15-year-old**.
* Ophelia sent **the Nordic Harbinger of Apocalypse** to kill a small tween.
* Yu Mei Ren attempted several times to gank *a tween*... and STILL *failed*.
* Pepperoncino is the only character with a healthy relationship with children, as expected of best boy.
* Kama was so impressed by... **a 15-year-old** *not* fantasizing about degenerate things and being more preoccupied with standard soft romance thoughts like sharing ear buds that she effectively no longer can become a Beast.
* Kirschtaria thought **a 15-year-old** could kill three gods, and considered them *the most impressive person in the world*, his only equal and wanted to have a death duel with them
* Beryl thought of *a child* as his romantic rival.
* Castoria is one of the few characters who makes any modicum of sense since Ritsuka's luckily in her age group by this point and it's reasonable for her to fall for them.
* Morgan told a *small teenager* she was **going to murder them and all their friends** with zero hesitation.
* Oberon expected a teenager to stay asleep in the Abyss. **Teenagers never sleep.** Oberon, you dummy, you literally raised Castoria. You know this.
* Morgan gets summoned, immediately tells a teenager she hates them and their entire world before immediately marrying them despite being 3000-year-old and older than their entire family line.
* U-Olga, *THE Foreign God*, somehow **lost against a teenager**, got insulted by them and turned into a JOBBER with all her employees calling her a baby loser and presumably causing her to burst into tears.
#
#Ordeal Call
* Alaya is pissed at a nineteen-year-old for making poor decisions... WHEN THEY WERE SEVEN.
* Alaya subjects a *nineteen-year-old* to something literally called ORDEAL call over what they did TWELVE YEARS AGO.
* **Fujimaru Ritsuka WAS >!IN THE SECOND YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL!< WHEN THEY WERE SEVEN-YEARS-OLD????????**
