Tokyo Ghoul Wiki

The Tokyo Ghoul Wiki uses a unique dating system to represent in-story events in Tokyo Ghoul. Thus far, the years in which the story takes place is unknown; however, the time and order of events can be determined. Therefore, this system is needed to better determine the sequence of events over several years.

SBI[]

The Steel Beam Incident occurred in the first chapter of Tokyo Ghoul, the night Rize Kamishiro was crushed by steel beams. It serves as the center of the system's timeline — events and dates are designated years dependent upon its time (in years) from the incident.

For convenience, the following is used:

  • ASBI stands for after the Steel Beam Incident
  • BSBI stands for before the Steel Beam Incident

Application[]

The year of the Steel Beam Incident — from January 1st to December 31st — is year zero, or 0 ASBI. The following year being 1 ASBI, then 2 ASBI, and so on. The same for the prior year, 1 BSBI, 2 BSBI, etc.
