But they're not...Kakizaki was 111 and Max was 112.
The only real holes I can find in the "Valks being given out in sequential order theory" is first: Hikaru's VF-1D was 102 (and maybe the VT numbering is different, but I refuse to believe there were over a hundred trainers), and second: that Max got VF-1J 202, and then a couple of episodes later, Millia got 303.
Itano circuses look insanely awesome. Visors coming down look...vaguely interesting. At best.
(Granted, as visors go, those were primo, but still...)
