Story Arcs - is there an agreed listing?

Discuss about anything related to the Twelve Kingdoms, also known as 十二国記, Juuni Kokki or Jūni Kokuki. Talk about the novels, the anime, the writer Fuyumi Ono or illustrator Akihiro Yamada, but beware for spoilers!

Story Arcs - is there an agreed listing?

Post by JK Newbie »

Just curious. Noticed many posts when discussing the storyline refer to specific numbered the arcs. Is there an agreed numbering of the arcs and if so what are they? :)

Is there an English translation for the arc names?
What makes Eps 22 and 40 stand-alones? :)

Do I have to make sighing against the law? (Yoko)

Let me rephrase the educational moment -
The titles of the arcs are the titles that don't change for ongoing chapter sets. Example - Shadow of the Moon, Sea of the Shadow is the same title from E1-14 (Chapters 1-14) so the bunch is being called an arc, more correctly an episode/chapter set arc as opposed to a storyline arc (as in literature). Just wanted to understand so I didn't call a storyline character arc or event arc an "arc".
Stand alones are recaps or story events not directly associated with larger arcs at least due to having their own title. They are still a numbered sequential chapter (episode). I think I got it.
"JK Newbie" remember? :wink:

Would Supporting Moon would be a better translation?
