Season 2 or 3
This is clearly the start of a new season, but is it considered season 2 or 3. i.e. is Dark Signers considered to be a seperate season than Fortune Cup or merely a seperate arc? -- Deltaneos (talk) 19:31, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
- More accordingly to Janime they post this as the third season, with our Dark Signers arc being the second. Dont know if we should change it like that or keep them as Arcs then. DracoX 19:42, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
- Janime is good, but since it's not an official site and we don't know if they got this from an official source or are assuming it, we don't know if they are right or not. We can't really ignore this and not only say which arc is it, since the infoboxes currently require us to use "| season = number".
- The episode listing is also getting long and should be split by seasons to stay consistant with previous series. -- Deltaneos (talk) 22:50, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
I would say it's only the second. AFAIK people say Dark Signers is a seperate season from Fortune Cup, because it was a change of arc, the opening and ending music was changed and 4Kids took a break before releasing it. But comparing to other series Freshman Year and Rise of the Sacred Beasts are seperate arcs in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, but both are considered to be season 1. Seasons 1 and 3 of GX changed their music a portion of the way through. 4Kids also took breaks around halfway through seasons of Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. -- Deltaneos (talk) 23:11, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
- I think that it would be the second season. With GX, the first two arcs were right after another. Its the samee with 5ds too. If the two arcs were right next 2 each other, i think it would still be the first season. But for two arcs to be 6 months apart, i think it would be considered 2 seperate seasons. Mr.Archfreak
no its definitaly a third season, as no Anime season is ever longer than 64 episodes if you were to count it like this: Season 1: 1-64 Arc 1: 1-26 Arc 2: 27-64
- The only problem with that is that the seasons would be too short. Look at the other seasons:
Original Series: 97 episodes in 2 seasons
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: 104 episodes in 2 seasons
If the two seperate arcs were 2 seasons, it would look like this:
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's: 64 episodes in 2 seasons
WTF? Notice a difference? If you consider this and the fact that there wasn't any time difference between them (Dark Signers started right after Fortune Cup), then you can clearly see that this is all one season. Mr.Archfreak
