I going to ramble for a bit here but please bear with me. In summarizing NT19, I'm going to divide it into two parts: the problem and the solution.

The problem:
 * Coronzon wants to take over Academy City
 * Coronzon immediately gets blasted off into outer space.
 * Coronzon controls Fran as A.O. Francisca in order to get its hands on Academy City's Bank.
 * Bank is in the form of the Processor Suit.
 * But Fran used 2 Processor Suits (1 with the intention to be used as a decoy/dummy).
 * Having 2 Processor Suits backfires as Bank can't be accessed.
 * Fran attacks Hamazura in order to reduce the number of suits down to one in order to gain access to the Bank.
 * Fran (somehow) prevents Kamijou from meeting up with his friends.
 * Accelerator hunts Fran for above problem.

The solution:
 * Aiwass distracts Coronzon in outer space.
 * Aiwass gives wisdom to Mina MAthers to pass onto Aleister.
 * Aiwass revives Lilith.
 * Aleister, Lilith and Mina gather together
 * The 3 components turn Aleister into the hero that solves the problem.

In other words, NT19 can be summed down to this:
 * Antagonist: A.O. Francisca (controlled by Coronzon)
 * Problem: Processor Suit being used to hijack Bank
 * Solution: Lilith reunites with Aleister, turning him into a hero.

Or to dumb it down even further:
 * Antagonist: Coronzon
 * Problem: Processor Suit
 * Solution: Lilith

Looking back at how past arcs have been named, the majority have been focused on Key Events or Key Terms used in the arc.

Whenever a particular character has been used to name an arc (Kazakiri Hyouka, Acqua of the Back, Magic God Othinus, Salome, Aleister Crowley, Necromancer) that arc always involved spending some quality time getting to know them. The DRAGON arc was different in that the main goal of the arc was to find info on him and he ended up appearing in the final chapter. In NT19, Coronzon is blasted off into space in the prologue and only appears in the Between the Lines in the main chapters. Despite being in conrtol Fran (and Index) I do not view it as taking as playing a key part in the arc; only indirectly.

Lilith was certainly ever present in the novel. But as Accel said in Chapter 3: “Did you really think that Lilith baby was at the center of all this?” Lilith ended up being (part of) the solution but we've never really named arcs after solutions.

In keeping with past arcs, as the Processor Suits were the cause of conflict in the arc, my final vote ultimately goes to it.
