✦ Tokyo ✦

“Twenty-two years into the past. One new body. One new life.”

In The Dream Code Universe, Tokyo serves as a primary setting and is the initial major location for Mitsuru following his temporal displacement.

The year is 2025, and Mitsuru finds himself transported 22 years into the past, awakening within the physical form of Kanzaki Tahiru, a 37-year-old inhabitant of Tokyo.

While drawing inspiration from the actual city of Tokyo, the version presented in The Dream Code is a fictional representation within its universe. This urban landscape and its surrounding environment primarily function as the backdrop for Mitsuru’s renewed existence, his interpersonal connections, and the unfolding events that ultimately guide him towards Jirkunland.

Mitsuru resides in Tokyo for a duration of approximately four years and several months, spanning from 2025 until the middle of 2029.

🌸 Mitsuru’s Tokyo

Tokyo becomes the canvas upon which Mitsuru begins to construct a life he had never previously experienced.

Inhabiting the body of Kanzaki Tahiru, he gradually integrates himself into the city, initiating the formation of the relationships that will characterize this chapter of his existence.

His time in Tokyo is not predominantly defined by the world’s larger-scale conflicts.

Instead, it is a period marked by personal growth, profound affection, self-discovery, and happiness.

Mitsuru dedicates a significant portion of his time away from external turmoil, cherishing moments with his loved ones and embracing the life bestowed upon him after his journey through time.

🏠 The Kanzaki Life

Upon his arrival in 2025, Mitsuru assumes the identity of Kanzaki Tahiru, a 37-year-old Tokyo resident.

For a considerable part of his initial period in the city, Mitsuru resides in Kanzaki’s apartment.

As his circumstances evolve, he eventually acquires a residence resembling a palace within Tokyo.

This grand house becomes the heart of Mitsuru’s personal world.

It is within these walls that he establishes a family with his romantic partners, spending a great deal of time in their company.

More than simply a dwelling, the palace symbolizes the tranquil life Mitsuru cultivates during his years in Tokyo.

💕 The Five Loves

Tokyo is where Mitsuru encounters the five women who become his romantic companions:

✦ Ava

Mitsuru’s initial encounter with Ava occurs within the Dream Realm, initiating a mystical bond between them before they meet in the physical world.

Ava also resides in Tokyo.

Their eventual meeting in reality signifies the commencement of their relationship beyond the confines of the Dream Realm.

✦ Yuki

Mitsuru meets Yuki during his life in Tokyo.

She later becomes one of his romantic partners and an integral member of the family he forms during his tenure in the city.

✦ Poi

Poi is another of Mitsuru’s romantic interests whom he meets while living in Tokyo.

Her connection with Mitsuru deepens during the phase when he is establishing his new life in the city.

✦ Shika

Shika crosses paths with Mitsuru during his Tokyo years and eventually becomes one of his lovers.

She is part of the group that later departs Tokyo alongside Mitsuru.

✦ Jing

Jing is the fifth of Mitsuru’s romantic partners.

Similar to Yuki, Poi, and Shika, she attends the same high school in Tokyo as the other three.

🎓 The Four Girls

Yuki, Poi, Shika, and Jing share a connection through their attendance at the same high school in Tokyo.

Mitsuru encounters these four individuals at a club event in Tokyo, marking the first intersection of their paths.

Their relationships with Mitsuru eventually evolve into much deeper bonds, and all four ultimately become part of his family.

🌙 Ava and the Dream Realm

Mitsuru’s relationship with Ava is distinct from his connections with the other four women.

Prior to their meeting in the physical world, Mitsuru first encounters Ava within the Dream Realm.

These dream interactions foster a connection between them before their lives converge in Tokyo.

Ultimately, Mitsuru meets Ava in person, in Tokyo.

Consequently, their relationship spans two distinct realms:

The Dream Realm

Tokyo

This unique connection across realms makes Ava’s bond with Mitsuru particularly profound.

📱 Nihonadin

During his years in Tokyo, Mitsuru also achieves global renown through his online persona, Nihonadin.

His digital identity garners widespread recognition and becomes a significant facet of his public existence.

Despite his burgeoning fame, Mitsuru’s private life remains centered around his home and the individuals he holds dear.

🏰 The Palace

One of the most noteworthy locations associated with Mitsuru’s Tokyo period is his palace-like residence.

This house becomes the sanctuary where Mitsuru and his partners reside together, building their family unit.

It serves as a peaceful refuge from his increasingly prominent public persona as Nihonadin.

For Mitsuru, the palace symbolizes the life he has meticulously crafted after his journey 22 years into the past.

☀️ The Tokyo Years

Mitsuru’s years spent in Tokyo represent some of the most serene and beautiful phases of his life.

From 2025 to mid-2029, he dedicates his time to:

• Cultivating relationships with his five romantic partners.
• Experiencing personal growth and fulfillment in his new life.
• Achieving international recognition as Nihonadin.
• Establishing his family.
• Residing in his grand, palace-like home.
• Sharing moments with Ava, Yuki, Poi, Shika, and Jing.
• Reflecting on his transformed life and the unfolding future.
• Preparing, consciously or unconsciously, for the events to come.

However, beneath this veneer of tranquility lies a more profound purpose.

Mitsuru is aware that the future from which he originated was irrevocably destroyed.

The individuals he cherishes are not merely his family; they are among those destined to survive.

🛤️ Leaving Tokyo

In mid-2029, Mitsuru departs from Tokyo, embarking on a journey to Jirkunland.

He does not undertake this departure alone.

He is accompanied by Ava, Yuki, Poi, Shika, and Jing.

These five women have been divinely selected to become part of the small contingent destined to endure the impending apocalypse.

Consequently, his peaceful years in Tokyo serve as a direct prelude to the subsequent phase of his odyssey.

Tokyo was the setting where Mitsuru forged his family.

Jirkunland marks the point where that family begins its preparations for the world’s end.
