And of course, the ancestral Saotome sword turns out to be a Sakaba. And
it also turns out that Sanosuke is one of Ryoga's great ancestors. Maybe
the Tendo ancestor turns out to be Tae (the waitress).

So, is anyone planning anything like this yet?

Gee, this really puts my reference family tree for Childhood of a Modern
Dynasty to shame.

Jim, This is what? at least three years old (I remember seeing it when he put
out the last chapter of TA.. 1996) so he's had some time to work on it... (and
he went nuts... I personally think he linked EVERY major Anime in one way or
the other 

Just a side note... 

As of this writing, Chris had -not- merged every anime, or even a record
number of sources, into one continuity.

That record probably will always belong to UF.

... and this is just what I can pull down off the top of my head.

There are at least a DOZEN new inclusions in various stages of production I
can't reveal now for risk of spoilers.

Of course, we at Eyrie have one advantage- the characters are -not-, by and
large, related. (Hell, a lot of them aren't even the same characters- we did
a lot a lot of shuffling about when we picked and chose each item.)

OTOH, we've got a lot more planets to scatter everybody across than Davies
is using... }:-{D
