Because it sure as hell wouldn't mean Before Christ and Anno Domini, at least that's what I think. Thoughts?

What does B.C. and A.D. mean in this game?
Does Japan use BC and AD or something not based on a real life religion? If it's something generic like BCE and CE maybe that's what it says in the original and the translators just used BC and AD without realizing that they don't really make sense in the gameworld?

That seems like a pretty reasonable assumption. Or perhaps BC and AD were deliberately used to make the time-span instantly relatable to a Western audience.

This was my assumption.
I do believe its used in the east people don't seem realize that the BC and AD moniker are accepted parts of acamedia world wide not just in religious christian countries...

though the game isn't using it correctly to signify the birth of jesus.... the Kingdom of Guardia however was founded at 0 or 1 AD thus giving you reference of why there is an Epoch change.you're wrong, sir.
The Portal Kombat picture on your page is pretty damn correct.
I'm betting that Jesus is in this game's universe, but instead of getting nailed to a cross and all that junk, he beat the shit out of Judas while yelling, "WHERE'S THE REAL JUDAS, YOU MONSTER BASTARD!?"
