There is a Blunder in the Macross Frontier story for Sheryl Nome.

In episode #17 (towards the end) and in the beginning of episode #18, Grace reveals the history how Sheryl was found by Grace in Galaxy's slum. Assuming this was 20 years ago in Macross Universe (and before Ranka's birth).

Now fast forward to episode #23 where Sheryl is having dinner with Alto. We get to see Sheryl's flashback about her being in the slum, poor and hungry as a child...again, supposedly 20 years ago in Macross Universe (and before Ranka's birth).

Now fast forward again to episode #24, where Cathy and Ozma found a letter to Dr. Mao Nome. Cathy reads out the letter to Ozma that Dr. Mao's daughter had given the earrings to her grand-daughter and the photo of Sheryl as a baby...

Dr. Mao is Sheryl's grandmother? With a picture of Sheryl as a baby and the earring to support the fact that that is Sheryl. Now wouldn't the timeline conflict with Ranka's birth???

Most importantly, wouldn't the timeline conflict when Sheryl supposedly lost her mother and is found in the slums by Grace???

The timeline here in Macross Frontier's Sheryle character was very weak and contradictory...

First, you may want to be a little more clear that this topic deals with potential spoilers.

Second, why are we assuming that's 20 years ago? If I recall correctly, Sheryl is supposed to be in her teens, so it seems more likely that it's about 10 years ago, maybe less.

Whenever you notice something like that, "a wizard did it".

Ranka is 16, Alto turns 17 during the series, and Sheryl is 17. wikipedia *with spoilers*. Also, I'm not sure what Sheryl's age or background has to do with Ranka's birth.

Yeah, and given that Sheryl looked about 6-7 when she met Grace, Ranka would likely have been 5-6 at that time.
