How to use it
Pick two arcs and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first arc, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total chapters. Try Deicide against Hueco Mundo entry to see a long finale stretch against the shortest.
Shueisha volume guides name 5 coarse arcs: Agent Vol. 1-8, Soul Society Vol. 9-21, Arrancar Vol. 22-48, Lost Agent Vol. 49-54 and TYBW Vol. 55-74. Finer rows split those spans per Beebom, MarySue and story guides, with bridges noted: Arrancar Arrival starts 183 or 184 by source, Deicide starts 340 or 341. Rows use 184 and 341 and say so. The Turn Back the Pendulum past chapters use negative numbers and sit beside the main count.
