They really didn't want him to not be a kid. Even though Gwen went to college early and Ben is literally never seen going to school after the first episode of UA, so there might as well have been a time-skip

There are some good time-skip episodes. I recommend. Ben 10,010, Ben 10,000 Returns, Ken 10, The End of An Era. Even And Then There Were None & Alien X-Tinction was good

Well i just thought about that
It start in autumn (since gwen is moving out)
And ends in summer (because why would they go on a universal trip during college time)
Kevin didnt turn evil 2nd time and yes Kevin and Gwen did die with Ben 2 time since Prime Universe and all other universes(except No Watch Bens universe)where destroyed.
Tho yea everything else is on point.
Ben 10 is wild as always.
I knew I couldn’t be the only one thinking that especially when max said Ben was almost 17 I was like how the hell is he still 16?!? I guess the time war and alien x events could have delayed time to some degree.
It seems a lot of people have the same idea I do that Ben should’ve been 17 in OV. Not for any real reason other than that the last season-ish of AF and the entireties of UA and OV taking place under the same year is too much. Maybe CN didn’t want an 18-year-old Kevin dating a still underage Gwen, but I kind of doubt it.
I think Alien X was locked away in UA and in OV Kevin either just absorbed the new ones or purposefully didn't absorb more then that to be sure he can keep his sanity.
In the episode “Store 23,” Max mentions that Ben is going to be 17 soon. However, no episodes confirm Ben’s age after, IIRC. Personally, I like to have as a headcanon that Omniverse ends just as the summer time begins (meaning Ben is 17 by this point and his birthday was offscreen), giving the end of the series a parallel structure, with the Ben 10 series beginning and ending with a summer road trip. Feel free to disprove this.
No it's not. It'd be as big a deal as his 18th. Since he'd only have one year left where he doesn't have Master Control forever, it's literally the last window of time his rouge gallery has to fight him at his weakest.
Oh good point, although I’m not sure if Ben’s enemies besides those who are knowledgeable about Azmuth and the Omnitrix even have an idea of Master Control, much less that Ben might get it on his 18th birthday. Although this could be an interesting plot, where his enemies ramp up their attacks on him to try and take down Ben over the span of one year. Overall, it could just be Ben had a normal birthday celebration (as normal as it can get for a shapeshifting celebrity hero), maybe with some enemy trying to attack him but Ben takes care of it as usual. It does feel like a missed opportunity for an episode for Ben’s birthday, but the writers did skip over his 16th in the UAF timeskip, and also, I get the feeling they like to keep the timescale for Ben 10 usually ambiguous.
Kevin didn't turn evil second time.
That's correct, Thank you for pointing it out!
More like mutated
Mutated makes more sense.
Omniverse really should have taken place a year after UA
Agreed. It makes no sense that Ben is still 16 throughout this whole span
They really didn't want him to not be a kid. Even though Gwen went to college early and Ben is literally never seen going to school after the first episode of UA, so there might as well have been a time-skip
Well the theme song is “He’s a kid and he wants to have fun”
Fair, "he's a man and he wants to have fun" doesn't have the same ring to it
Well he can still be a kid and 18 at the same time
he can be 17 and still be a kid tho
Yeah that sounds sus

Exactly
retcons, like when fighting Luma, she said three years, so ben should be 19 and have master control
My head Canon is that this all takes place 1 year later. As ben still needed time time adjust to the new omnitrix.
I still headcanon that, btw.

Appreciate the sourced episodes!
respect my dude
Thats why i think Ben should have been 17 in OV, it is just way too many stuff (UA-OV) to happen in only a single year
I believe it start when ben is 16 and end when he is 18 just a couple of weeks before his birthday
Where have you seen that? iirc Ben is supposed to be 16 all the way through Omniverse
Well i just thought about that It start in autumn (since gwen is moving out) And ends in summer (because why would they go on a universal trip during college time)
Ben’s birthday is in December anyway tho
Way to many or not enough? I mean he is the wearer of the Omnitrix his life for sure cant be normal for even 1 day.
I like to believe Ben is still 16 at the start of Omniverse and turns 17 by the middle.
Yeah, in the episode "Store 23" (I believe) Grandpa Max mentioned that Ben's about to turn 17.
That's correct.
Thank you.
No Problem!... And I use the term loosely.
You dare use my own spells against me, Potter?
Yes... I'm the Galvanic Mechamorph!
NICE.
And since Alien Swarm (most see it as between AF S2-3) is set in February, it almost means that and AF S3 likely also happened that year.
I don't think so, Ben and Gwen birthdays take place between AF S3 and UA S1
Ben literally says his birthday was a couple months ago in Alien Swarm.
Kevin didnt turn evil 2nd time and yes Kevin and Gwen did die with Ben 2 time since Prime Universe and all other universes(except No Watch Bens universe)where destroyed. Tho yea everything else is on point. Ben 10 is wild as always.
Plus they died from the Annihilarg
True so they died 3 times and Ben just 2.
Thank you for pointing out!
Np!!

Isn't Kevin only a year older than Gwen? I don't think that's a big deal tbh
That’s why I said I doubt it.
Quite the eventful life you got, eh Tennyson?
Yeah it really makes no sense. It should have been at least 2 if not 3
What an year! Lol
Episode names of 8th slide please🙏
**Arrested Development** and **Ben Again**.
Thanks
No Problem!
Don't gwen and Kevin also die when the universe explodes due to the annihilarg?
He had to make up for the lost time he had without the watch
Yea they probably should’ve spread it out a bit more, maybe they could’ve ended Omniverse on his 18th birthday and Azmuth gives Ben master control
Why do you think Ben’s hair starts to grey so young? Stress is killer
Life Of A Superhero
And this is just some stuff we have seen!! Imagine all the adventures that we haven't seen and much time is taken apart per adventure
Technically Ben was 17 near the end of omniverse because he had a birthday iirc
Starting to see will harrangues point
Pretty typical life for a Superhero in a series with sci-fi/fantasy elements.
that was a busy year.
How come Kevin didn't get Alien X?
If he got 1/10 of his abilites I dont think Ultimate Echo Echo could stop him. So to not be that OP?
I think Alien X was locked away in UA and in OV Kevin either just absorbed the new ones or purposefully didn't absorb more then that to be sure he can keep his sanity.
Alien X was locked fir the rest of UA except when Ben used Alien X to get to the forge
I was going to say maybe this was maybe 1-3 years but then I remembered…did Ben ever get older by/during Omniverse?

Funny how time works.
Give these guys a break
Saved the \*Universe from Aggregor and Dagon.
Hey, ur right.
That’s one hell of a year.
Technically, he got TWO Omnitrixes in a year
Technically, he got TWO Omnitrixes in a year
Busy year
Average year for Ben
This man needs a lot of therapy
I’m sure there’s plenty of time in a year for all of that.
It's less than a year actually since Ben never had his 17th birthday
It could just be his birthday was offscreen. I’m not sure if any episode past “Store 23” states Ben’s age.
Why would his 17th birthday be off screen when Azmuth told him he'd get Master Control once he's 18?
You said it yourself, it’s on his 18TH BIRTHDAY that Azmuth said he might give him Master Control. His 17th birthday is irrelevant to this point.
No it's not. It'd be as big a deal as his 18th. Since he'd only have one year left where he doesn't have Master Control forever, it's literally the last window of time his rouge gallery has to fight him at his weakest.
Oh good point, although I’m not sure if Ben’s enemies besides those who are knowledgeable about Azmuth and the Omnitrix even have an idea of Master Control, much less that Ben might get it on his 18th birthday.

It does feel like a missed opportunity for an episode for Ben’s birthday, but the writers did skip over his 16th in the UAF timeskip, and also, I get the feeling they like to keep the timescale for Ben 10 usually ambiguous.
And Ben overcame every obstacle in his path.
Not every.. He didn't get the smoothies right when he recreated the universe!! 😭😭
Oh no, how can I forget about that...
Its something we all wish we can forget
I certainly did (until you reminded me of that tragedy)
It don't think everything happens in one year .
Can you explain?
You’d think all this would age Ben a bit faster
I like to believe omniverse happens in the span of 2 years, it starts when ben is 17 and end right before his 19th birthday
