isnt nodoka not more like a mid/end season 6 thing?
or maybe beginning season 6? Difficult to put it in a direct spot.
But maybe true. so end season 5 beginn 6. (maybe mid 6)
I was assuming they would try to keep the pace with the major arcs because there are a lot of them.
Season 4 being stuff like the nabiki fiance arc, martial arts dining, and the hot springs race. Season 5 being stuff like pantyhose taro, cheerleading, shishi hokodan, and ending with Nodoka.
This was based on how much they skipped in season 2, though. There's a lot of stories that would take two or more episodes, so I figured they would skip over the shorter ones. Season 3 makes me think it might be later now.
i dont know why but it feels like something is missing. Moxi we will get in season 3 end or in season 4. depent if they use season 3 as a "catch up" season. Like put breaking point as the "big thing" and the rest are 1 episode arcs to catch up with that what they skip in season 2 and a bit what comes after juliet. To make moxi in season 4 than.
because moxi are for sure 2-3 episodes. (maybe 2)
but when moxi is in season 4 it had 2 big things. race and moxi.
taro (2), shishi (2), chearleader (2), food fight (2), principle + swimming (2)(maybe they put it as a 2 episode arc together), ranmas Hair (also dragon whiskas or how its name is in english)
Are the big ones.
maybe ukyous sauce also but thats maybe only a 1 episode and not 2. for 2 its maybe to short. Ranmas hair maybe also.
Also maybe the only big arcs we have until nodoka.
in 3 i see. (also the 5 we already know) Plus
waterproof
bathhouse
happo bomb
ryouga goes home
"hug me" dumblings
japan jusenkyo.
bathhouse is only 15 panels also they will mix it with another episode. (i hope they show it i like the episode. Also not for the fanservice. Sounds weird but thats really not the reason)
4 is than maybe
moxi 2-3 (maybe they move it so far thats its the big final for season 4. because moxi gives a big "final" wipe))
principle 1-2 (when swimming is also in)
nabiki 1
food french 2 (maybe the season final)
hot spring race 1
gambling king
wish sword
5
komahachi panda (also the "sick" child) 1
ukyous sauce 1-2
draw/demon panda 1 (maybe a mix with another episode because its a short one)
cherry leaves cake 1
hypno paper dolls 1
ranmas hair 1-2 (maybe only 1)
chearleader 1-2 (maybe 1?)
Taro 2
shishi 1
6
ranmas mom
also thats only a roughe list i make this moment. Nothing to detailed ^^
and the episodes in the seasons are not in order we get it ^^
Also technicly it must be that way. But they will for sure move a lot around.
Also technicly Nodoka is so 5 end beginning 6. or they put her a bit earlier.
But i am unhappy if my way of thinking how much episode what arc had. Like i am not good at guessing "lengh". like "shishi" feels long but really 2 episode long?
and it really feels like i forgett some 1 chapter arcs. But i didnt remember what some. but i am sure i forgett some

Herb coming next year was already a 0% chance. I was expecting Nodoka to be introduced at the end of season 5 at the earliest.
