@Sappro I don't see why it couldn't take 5+ years to find the original Roy. It took them that long to get any sort of lead on the missing sixteen hours thing. If the Light is actively hiding Roy, maybe training him to become Arsenal, the timeskip could just be sparing the viewers the details of a long, frustrating search and cutting to the first good lead.
