Talk:Kawaki Arc

Upcoming Anime Adaptation/End of Arc?
Given that it appears that the anime's "Vessel Arc" seems to adapting parts of both the Ao Arc and the Kawaki Arc, how should we plan to organize the plot synopsis in regard to the anime? Creating a separate "Vessel Arc" page for the anime, or splitting the anime episode list between the two arcs and adding an explanation in the introduction (I hope that made sense)?

Likewise, we have been in the Kawaki Arc for about two and a half years now. It seems like we are only using the official arc titles given by the creators of the series, but I am starting to wonder if they are no longer concerned with releasing official arc names. For example, say the time-skip happens in the next two chapters (unlikely, but hypothetically), and there is no mention of a new arc title. How will we decide to document the series from that point?

 * They also just announced that the next section of the arc is going to be named in the anime, meaning that each section of the arc will likely be given its own subtitle.


 * So it'll need to be adjusted. Probably makes the most sense to make a separate article for the Vessel Arc and say that it covers the manga's Ao arc and the first few chapters of the manga's Kawaki arc, and then probably break up the Kawaki Arc page into sections for each of the sub-arcs that the anime individually names.

 * Good luck trying to convince Omnibender, I brought up a similar topic to him before and he didn't think it was worth it. OmegaRasengan (talk) 02:09, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Anime Arc Names Follow Up
Just thought I'd follow up the previous post with the start/stop points for the latest arcs based on TV Tokyo's official press releases:


 * Vessel Arc (Episodes 177-192): Began from December 2020. Begins with the establishment of the new security network by the Yamanaka Clan in episode 177 and ends with Kawaki awakening in Konoha in episode 192. Covers the manga's Ao Arc (chapters #16-23) and roughly the first two chapters of the Kawaki Arc (#24-25) with a smattering of anime original content throughout.


 * Kawaki Arc: Kara Clash (Episodes 193-ongoing): Began from April 2021. Features the introduction of Kawaki into the Uzumaki household and the resulting battles with Kara. Presumably covers the second major section of the Kawaki Arc, from chapter #26 through at least chapter #35.

The thing I think is most important when it comes to picking arc names is not to mix manga names and anime names. If the manga gives us a name, we use that. Kawaki Arc was a manga name. What I'd like to avoid is using an anime-derived name over a manga one. For example, anime had Vessel Arc for what the manga called Ao Arc. I don't oppose listing the anime names in the articles, we do that already, just look at the several names through the Fourth Shinobi World War arcs.
