Okay, folks, let's dive into the age-old (pun intended!) question surrounding Daida from Ranking of Kings. We're not talking ancient history here, but figuring out a cartoon character's age can be trickier than assembling IKEA furniture without instructions!
Right off the bat, the anime and manga don't exactly hand us a birthday certificate for Daida. Instead, we have to use our detective skills and a little bit of imagination to piece together some clues. Are you ready to solve this mystery?
The Obvious Clues (Or Lack Thereof)
Let's start with what we *do* know. Daida is presented as being pretty young. He's got that youthful energy, a bit of naiveté, and a whole lot of royal responsibilities dumped on him way too early, like when your parents suddenly make you responsible for watering all the plants.
We see him training, learning to be a king, and generally navigating the ups and downs of adolescence. It’s like watching a kid try to parallel park a royal chariot – stressful and a little bit comical. So definitely in the youth bracket!
The Sibling Factor
Here's where things get slightly more interesting. We know he has an older brother, Boijji. Although Boijji's physical abilities are unfortunately limited, he seems to be the elder in terms of time.
This means Daida can't be *too* old. Imagine trying to convince everyone you are older than your brother if you have the baby face. Impossible!
The Wild Guesses (And Why They're Probably Wrong)
Some fans speculate Daida could be anywhere from, say, 12 to 17. Twelve seems a little young given his responsibilities. Seventeen might be pushing it, as it would make the age gap with Boijji a bit strange.
Think of it like this: if Daida was 17, he’d probably be sneaking out to royal raves instead of stressing over kingdom management. So, we can probably safely rule out those extremes.
The "Sweet Spot" Theory
So, where does that leave us? If we consider his physical appearance, his role as a prince (still learning), and his relationship with his older brother, a reasonable guess might be somewhere around 14-16 years old.
This age range captures that awkward phase where you're not quite a kid, but definitely not a fully-fledged adult. Much like when you have to start paying taxes but you still don't know how to do laundry correctly.
Why Does It Even Matter?
Okay, you might be thinking: "Why are we spending so much time pondering a fictional character's age?" It's because age, especially in coming-of-age stories like Ranking of Kings, helps us understand their journey.
Knowing that Daida is likely a young teenager makes his struggles, his ambitions, and his flaws all the more relatable. He's a kid trying to figure things out, just like many of us were (or still are!).
Ultimately, Daida's exact age remains a bit of a mystery, but it allows us to feel a great deal of empathy with the character.
So, next time you're watching Ranking of Kings, remember that Daida is probably just a teenager doing his best. And that, my friends, is something we can all appreciate!
