Category talk:Events

"Story arcs in the universe maybe based on events but not always, the main difference of an event from a story arc is that events are significant to people other than the characters, for example the Level Upper Arc is an event as it occurs in a widespread scale and affects many people other than the main characters."

I'm interested in your POV about this, I would like to know why then Level Upper is both a Story Arc but also an Event, also it seems than with those new categories, looks Toaru majutsu no Index needs his own "Toaru majutsu no Index Story Arcs" but to be honest those aren't going to be different from the summaries I guess...Lero 16:21, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Level Upper Arc is an event as it is a signficant occurence in Academy City, affecting 10,000 espers who have used the Level Upper. It is also a story arc as the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun storyline focused on the Level Upper. Also, if the story is rewritten and Level Upper incidents happened but did not play a significant part of the storyline, then it would be simply an event.


 * As you may or may not know there are various events that occurs in the Toaru Majutsu no Index universe. For example, World War III, it is an international crisis that occurs in Toaru Majutsu no Index and is of course a significant event in their world, however the story does not focus on the war itself, since the main characters are not involved with it as such it is simply an event.


 * An event is simply a significant occurence, while story arc is a term used to refer to a sequence of episodes, chapters or volumes that contains the same elements and storyline and also distinquishes it from other episodes, chapters or volumes.


 * Also, "Toaru Majutsu no Index Story Arcs" as a category must be created eventually when someone decides to create a Toaru Majutsu no Index story arc article.---TheGreatEye 21:06, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
