HeroV's Relationship With Suikoden II's Protagonists
I think Genkaku could possibly be HeroV. Maybe something happens in SuikodenV that makes HeroV lose his royal title. Genkaku's an old man in Suikoden II flashbacks, so he'd definitely fit time-wise in V.
Also, HeroV's weapon looks a lot like Nanami's. Perhaps he gave it to her.

And this idea of a protagonist actually being from a previous game, but not directly revealed until the ending was done in Tactics Ogre Advance.

If he is Genkaku then he would have had to age rather quickly considering that Genkaku was already getting on in age before Suikoden 2 came out. Also, we must remember that Hero V is of Falenian royalty it woul dbe quite difficult for him to just disappear and leave his family behind. There's a lot more to consider, but I think the whole age thing is one of the most controversial things to consider since he will more than likely bear a True Rune and we all know that Genkaku took the Bright Shield Rune as his own along with Han.

I'm actually satisfied with the amount of story uncovered regarding Genkaku. We learned of his history, starting at when he was part of the City-State right through to his death. Maybe if the time setting is right, in an upcoming Genso Suikoden game, or even a gaiden, we could learn of Genkaku and Han's childhood, but I think it's safe to leave well enough alone for now.
A good assumption, dragonmasterx. It's true the Hero does/would resemble Genkaku in his younger days. Also, he could have indeed passed his rod down to Nanami. That would explain the similarities between Hero V's 3-piece rod and Nanami's rod.

While there is no confirmation whatsoever yet (that I know of, correct me if I'm wrong), it has been greatly assumed that the guy on the left here http://www.kawaiidream.net/details.php?image_id=4841 is Genkaku (and the guy with moustache is Han Cunningham). Hero V just doesn't look like a young Genkaku IMO.

That's an awesome looking artbook. Weird theory of the main character being Genkaku though.
True Wind Rune Bearer, I don't think the artist would care if you thought it didn't resemble Han, to me it definately does. Younger version does see fit.

Exactly. While V might be set sometime before II, I doubt that it could be that much earlier due to Georg's age and the timeframe for the Succession War.koeneloen wrote:it's just not possible because Georg is in Suikoden 5 and he is older then the Hero...and in Suikoden 2 Genkaku was older then Georg...
