So I finally caught up and I’m wondering, is the movie arc the beginning of the end? Everything seems to be falling into place, and pretty much every plot thread is being resolved

1. Aqua and Ruby found out about each others past lives i) This also allowed Ruby to return to being innocent and pure

2. Kana is going to leave B-Komachi, her graduation has been announced and she’s confirmed to be leaving by the end of the year to pursue acting and fulfill her dream. Also the chapter where she was graduating from HS definitely made it feel like it was setting up an ending

3. Ichigo and Miyako have reunited

4. Every even slightly important character is involved in this arc, with the exceptions tion of Piyeon and Minami

5. The interlude chapters gave each character a moment to shine, perhaps preparing for a send off like Akasaka did with each of the minor characters in Kaguya Sama, but this time a bit earlier if only because if the more serious tone of the story and perhaps the weight of the ending itself might be undermined with the slice of life send offs happening immediately afterwards.

The only reason I’m really asking is because there seems to be a large amount of people saying that there will still be a good chunk of the story after this for a total of 12 or 13 arcs. Also there’s a part of me that really just wants this story to continue for a bit longer, but I can’t think of any plot threads that need to be resolved that can’t reasonably be tied into this arc.

So what seems to be the communities consensus, final arc, second to last, just entering the second half, an important but not final arc?

(Also I’m aware that this seems to be a question asked about this arc every so often, however I haven’t seen any post address these specific points especially after the Interludes)
