Descendant Theory
The Descendant Theory is a Fanon theory which surmises that various characters in the New Century anime are descendants of characters from Chaotic Century.
Overview
The connection between Chaotic Century and New Century is fuzzy. Though it is never explicitly stated in the show that New Century takes place in the same timeline as Chaotic Century, there are enough clues to tie them together into a single continuity. New Century also has characters who are superficially similar to those who appear in Chaotic Century. The descendant theory runs with these ideas and proposes that certain characters in New Century are distant relatives of their "counterparts" in Chaotic Century; pairings factor heavily into who is descended from who. Though dozens of variations exist, the most common version of the theory goes as follows:
- Van + Fiona = Bit
- Irvine + Moonbay = Brad
- Thomas + (Insert character) = Harry
- Raven + Rease = Vega (or Sarah)
- Rosso + Viola = Jamie (or Pierce)
The theory also proposes that the black boxes of the Liger Zero and the Berserk Fury are literal organoids, permanantly fused to the core of their host, rather than simply being extremely advanced AI programs as stated in the show itself. It is often assumed that Zeke fused with Van's Blade Liger, metamorphosing it into the Liger Zero, and that Shadow fused with Raven's Geno Breaker, metamorphosing it into the Berserk Fury. Under this variation of the theory, the Liger Zero and Berserk Fury would have chosen Bit and Vega to be their pilots on account of their ancestry.
