Sion's family bothers me

[SolarAdept]

As far as I understand it: Zepia is Sion's grandpa. She was born 500 years after he became a DA. That means that her father was around 5 centuries old when she was born.

That's really... impressive, considering how Zouken looked after 500 years.

[solopy567]

That's wrong. He is her grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grandfather.

Zouken was like that to Shinji

[SolarAdept]

Wrong. He is the head from three generations ago. Either grandpa or great-grandpa.

[Keeper of Gil's Vault]

Zouken was no where close to 500 years old. He is around 200 to 300 years old if you estimate from the dates (third war is during WWII, fourth war is in the 90's). Plus, Zouken looked terrible because of soul deterioration from body switching. DAA don't suffer from this because they don't need to switch bodies (most of them are in great shape).

[SolarAdept]

But I'm talking about her father. He was a human.

[Keeper of Gil's Vault]

Didn't the other guy say TATARI is not Sion's grandfather?

Either that, or really high quality flash-frozen sperm.

[SolarAdept]

The wiki says he IS her grandfather, so "that other guy" is wrong.

[Kid-Wolf]

It could be that something happened when he was a TATARI and that's pretty much it, or he became the TATARI after he had his Sion's father or mother depending on who was who there. I mean they didn't really go in depth her her parents at all did they?

[SolarAdept]

That's what creeps me out.

[Keeper of Gil's Vault]

I agree with what Kid Wolf said. I don't remember seeing anywhere that DDA's are sterile. TATARI could have found true love while wrecking havoc 40~50 years ago.

[SolarAdept]

He is a phenomenon who materializes into the local fears. I doubt anyone even knew who he was among the Muggles, not to mention fear him. This eliminates that option, unless her parent was born with different DNA from the original Zepia's. Which makes me wonder how the hell could she use Etherlite without inheriting the Eltnam blood.

[s4itox]

I've known about this, but I've never actually put any real thought into this.
Thanks for creeping me out /

[solopy567]

Her connection to TATARI is really strange. If he is her grandfather, how can he be over 200 years old? Unless her parents are/were like that too.

It seems Nasu didn't put much thought into this.

[Chaos Chaud]

Well, that is indeed a tough question.
Let's list possibilities that could answer it:

1- TATARI could have found true love while wrecking havoc 40~50 years ago.
2- Nasu messed up
3- The wiki is wrong and Zepia really is her grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grandfather.
4- High quality flash-frozen sperm.

Personally, I think it is 2 or 3. But it would be fun if it was 4 and maybe a could turn into a good plot if it was 1...

Can someone list other possibilities?

[Mazyrian]

That he is her grandfather is from the game, so 3 is out (unless by "grandfather" Nasu meant "ancestor")

[Kid-Wolf]

That he is her grandfather is from the game, so 3 is out (unless by "grandfather" Nasu meant "ancestor")

I kind of guess that is what Nasu might of wanted there. I mean do they have a word for great grandfather? Besides I thought they used that word for ancestors as well though.
