Unified Story Timeline

The Unified Story Timeline lists events in the Toaru Majutsu no Index universe in chronological order. This timeline tries to harmonize the events from all the mediums that tell the stories of the Toaru Majutsu no Index universe, so long as they are canon, things that happen in the story as it goes, things that have come to pass or mentioned in passing, and things that may. This bars video games, parodies, and audio dramas unless their time frames can be determined. Discrepancies will surely abound, but this is the fate of a franchise that has spanned greatly in several mediums and in the hands of several people.

Meanwhile, an unknown individual approaches the RV where Mina and Lilith are hiding.

Trivia

 * It is unclear which year the series takes place in. There are some hints that it is in the first decades of the 21st century, as evidenced by 1700 years having passed since the rule of Constantine the Great in the 4th century and Aleister Crowley being said to have died more than 60 years ago in 1947. The global population is also said to be of 6 billions (and in later volumes, 6 or 7 billions), as was the case from 1999 to 2012, but the Catholic population is of 2 billion adherents and the British population of 90 millions (as opposed to 1.2 billion members and ≈ 60 million British in real life). Furthermore, the year has been stated to have the third Friday of March as March 15 and five Fridays in September, which should technically be impossible. Regardless, one should keep in mind that the Toaru Majutsu no Index universe is first and foremost a fictional universe, so it's expected to not always be comparable to ours.
