The author previously stated on numerous occasions that he only had plans for 11 story arcs in total, beginning in September 2013,[1] and remaining that way for several years, with the plan for 11 arcs still being true as of the 10th anniversary Twitter space held in April 2022.[2] However, he later chose to split Arc 7 into two separate arcs, creating a new story arc outside of his old plans.
