Just an issue i thought of while trying to write the summary for Tatsumi's page and after a brief discussion with Gen, we deciced to ask for everyone's opinion on how to split the AGK! manga into arcs.

The only one we have so far is "Empire in Ruins" as seen at the beginning of Chapter 53.
Some have suggested that arcs should be titled "Kill the (name of current enemy faction)", though we've already agreed that this is ridiculous and a bit confusing.
Since there seems to be no name for the first arcs, but we can use the volumes to help us figure them out. These is what I manage to compile. Further breakdown/grouping is possible.
Introductory Arc: Vols. 1-2 (9 chapters) - Episodic chapters with no common denominator (that I could see) except for Tatsumi's develpment up to the death of Sheele.
The Tree Beasts Arc: Vol. 3 (5 chapters)
The Jaegers Arc: Vol. 4 (5 chapters)
The Attack from Team Stylish Arc: Vol. 5-6 (8 chapters) - could be included in Jaegers Arc.
From Ch. 28 forward, the arcs are named
Religious Organization Battle Arc: Vol. 7-9 (28-53, 16 chapters) - arc name stated at end of ch. 28. No other arc name is mentioned before ch. 43. Further breakdown could be possible, but I am counting from the moment they receive the mission ot kill Borick until they finally do so. (From firs mention of arc name to next mentioned arc named)
Empire in Chaos Arc: Vol. 10 - present (chapter 44 forward) - arc name stated at end of ch. 43. "Empire Capital in Chaos Arc" is mentioned at the end of chapter 49. I don't know if is a new arc or a different translation of the same arc. I'm assuming the latter. I haven't seen any other arc named.
I'll leave it up to you guys, I'm bad with stuff like this.
The Tree Beasts Arc: Vol. 3 (5 chapters)
The Jaegers Arc: Vol. 4 (5 chapters)
The Attack from Team Stylish Arc: Vol. 5-6 (8 chapters) - could be included in Jaegers Arc.
Religious Organization Battle Arc: Vol. 7-9 (28-53, 16 chapters)
Empire in Chaos Arc: Vol. 10 - present (chapter 44 forward)
If you guys and gals are going with this, looking at the length in terms of number of chapters, maybe we could group The Three Beast, The Jaegers and The Team Stylish arcs under the heading: Empire Strikes Back Arc (sudden deja vu with Star Wars!) or Empire's offensive Arc.
