"my understanding is that tri does state ages for these characters in either the anime or ancillary material. If it doesn't, then the ages should be removed." That's actually the problem at hand, I believe - *only* Taichi's age was ever stated in the introduction summary for Tri. "[Taichi Yagami], [17 years old]" iirc (I'll have to find the exact scan but yes, it was from one of the introductions / summaries from iirc the official Japanese website?) Iirc none of the others ever had their exact ages "confirmed" even in the Memorial Books/etc nor in Tri's scripts in the Japanese version. Or, if they had been, I don't think there'd be so much confusion on the ages during Tri. Basically, Koushiro and Mimi, depending on where their hypothetical birthdays fall, could be anywhere from 16~17 being a grade below Taichi, but "16" exact is not an absolute. The same would go for the other younger Chosens' estimations (also going by grades given in 02). The grades *were* confirmed in Adventure/02 as said, however, which would have given those "estimates" even as far back as then when we only had Adventure & 02 and before Tri. It's possible Taichi specifically's Adventure/02 age may have been given at some point too but considering the others' ages still cause confusion in the fanbase, especially Sora's because of "Our War Game"'s and the other movies' continuities, I don't think theirs were ever "official".
