Yeah, I remember this. The interviewer asks if he was 42, but they never said yes. That led people to believe he's 42, when we know now that it's not 42.
Here in his bio you see "厄年" which is "Yakudoshi" or "Unlucky Age", the most common one being 42 because of 4 (shi) 2 (ni) (shini) (death). However, 42 is not the only unlucky age, so it is possible that he is another one of the many unlucky ages, as listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakudoshi
49 was one of the many reoccurring unlucky ages of various periods in history as you can see by reading this page. This would mean, if Cor was 49, he would have been 19 when traveling with Regis which makes a lot more sense than if he was 12.
However, because people are stuck on the idea that he is 42 because of this interview, many go at great lengths to try and find a reason for why he would be 42 and still be able to have fought with Regis 30 years prior. The problem, of course, is why give him an age to begin with if he's just not going to age at all? If that were the case, he wouldn't be 42, he might be 420 (lol) seeing how many believe that he doesn't age at all. Why make it a point to say he has an unlucky age if he wasn't able to age anyways.
Cor's title as the "Immortal Shogun" is not supposed to be taken literally. If it were, again, it wouldn't make sense to age him, as he would surely be much older than 42. Again, if he was, and it was an unlucky number (let's say 105 or something) then he still wouldn't be 42...
The only person who has been said to be explicitly a special existence would be Gentiana. Of course, people like to guess that she is Leviathan or Shiva. The Leviathan one is especially stupid, as it wouldn't make any sense for Gentiana to be friends with Luna, give her a trident, then turn into Leviathan, argue with Luna, and get her shit kicked in by Luna. I mean... there's no logic there whatsoever. And, for her to be Shiva, why would she be located around where Leviathan is, that defeats the point of being a Guardian if you're not even going to guard anything...
Anyways, I'm rambling...
