I'll reiterate, Reinhard's character entry in Tappei's arc 1 WN notes states that he is 19 (it is specifically for arc 1). His zeropedia entry states the same. If you are to look at both the WN and LN materials, they both state that Rem & Ram are 17 which means that either the entries are made with pre arc 3 time frame as a reference or that they use their debut as a reference for the time frame.

I'd like to point out that Tappei has made similar fuck ups in the past like how he said that the gap between arc 2 & 3 was 2 months when it was in fact 1 month as stated in volume 4. This is most certainly just an error. Then there's an inconsistency. I think an actual story source should hold more weight than author side notes, and old ones at that. A more recent (the SS came in late 2017), primary source is more reliable than older secondary, side reference sources (the WN one especially being from 2013, but also Zeropedia too). I especially doubt there's a mistake considering the bit I'm referring to wasn't a mention in passing, but the direct subject of a question, in a story dedicated to discovering more about him and his family. I doubt Nagatsuki would make a mistake of that caliber, and much like the 1-month thing which was clearly stated in a story source, this one should be what's taken into account as well. Not to mention the lack of practicality of choosing the references which, aside from being older, are also much less accessible and read, while the side stories reach a much larger audience.
