Amami Tsubasa ((top)) ✅

The official timeline states that Gen 10 debuted in 2012. Amami Tsubasa, however, never fit neatly into those boxes. She passed her audition in late 2011, a period fans call "the dark hour"—a transitional phase between the explosive popularity of Gen 9 and the more polished, digital-native Gen 10. She is often retroactively labeled a fan-made category she shares with only a handful of other liminal figures.
