PRE-BUILD INVENTORY · OCTOBER 19, 2026

The dates.
The evidence.

Castlevania: research table, product / access matches and inspection gaps.

VERIFICATION STATUS

Broad coverage.
Open questions.

67 catalogue records; 63 indexed works. Shared branch points, embedded scenes and anthology containers are distinguished.

A research edition, not a completed full-interior audit. A missing date remains an inspection gap until the actual work has been checked.

Inventory / contradiction checks

Pre-build research table produced with every indexed narrative, canon label, supported date/interval, citation and matching information/product destination. Reviewed before page generation.
Official Japanese inventory compared against games, mobile retellings, licensed prose/manga/audio, six animated seasons, stage production and narrative crossovers; known incomplete inventories retained in scope notes.
1499 and +23 years independently anchor Dracula’s Curse to 1476; Curse of Darkness independently supplies 1476 +3. Harmony is 1698 +50, not 1691 +50. Aria 2035 +1 yields Dawn 2036.
Simon retellings share 1691; Christopher comic shares 1576; Dracula X shares 1792; puzzle retelling shares 1797. Continuous IDW #1–5 and manga volumes 1–2 grouped.
Netflix, Gabriel reboot and unrelated crossover settings do not overwrite original-game dates. Reported gaiden exclusion is a disclosed secondary canon question, not a split created by unknown years.
Mirror’s 1103/1104 discrepancy retained as bounds. Broad-century sorting anchors never presented as exact years.
No pirate scans used. Publisher manga listing checked for readable preview; unavailable interiors disclosed. No claim of exhaustive interior inspection or complete franchise coverage.
Product matching reviewed: actual Amazon listing titles checked for Anniversary, Advance, Dominus, Dead Cells and Nocturne season 2. Collection omissions are explicit where a grouped version is absent. Other works retain publisher/collection/bibliographic or legal story links. Defunct Grimoire service is information only.

Verification still required

Older exact calendar dates partly depend on secondary published chronology; original Japanese manual/date-card and archived official timeline comparison should continue. No inaccessible primary source is described as inspected.
IDW issue interiors, Sasakura manga interiors, Kojima bonus manga, gamebooks, mobile comic and Narita magazine story were not legally accessible in this audit. Their captions, flashbacks and potential time jumps remain unverified.
Captain N appearance-level episodes/backups, machine narratives and older short promotional/crossover stories remain inventoried research gaps. This is a broad research edition, not a completed reference-quality exhaustive bibliography.
Lords of Shadow Mirror calendar mismatch and detailed Japanese act cards remain unresolved. Animated later-season exact calendar crossings need script verification.
Grimoire framing year and its relation to Soma’s 2035–2037 stories are unresolved. Judgment and Harmony of Despair have no invented calendar insertion.
Most out-of-print exact Amazon editions are not verified. Corresponding information links are provided honestly; do not interpret them as watch/read/play availability.
