Simultaneous Arcs	comment	Let us say you have several different characters and each one has their own separate journey for at least a portion of the story. These characters may or may not meet up with one another later on, but for now they are all on their own and their journeys, while they may be related, are independent of one another at least for the time being. There are two ways of handling this: One way would be to tell every single event in chronological order, frequently cutting from one character to the next, and then to the next as each event plays out. This first method would be known as Two Lines, No Waiting. For obvious reasons, stories told in Real Time would have to do it this way. For stories that are not told in Real Time, however, there is another option. That option is known as Simultaneous Arcs. Let's say you have two different characters: Alice and Bob, and these characters are separated from one another and are doing their own thing for a while, but each one is doing it at exactly the same time as the other one. It would work something like this: Chapter 1 takes place between 1:00pm and 2:00pm and includes everything that happens to Alice during that time period without regard to what Bob is going through. Chapter 2 also takes place between 1:00pm and 2:00pm, except it is told from Bob's point of view and has absolutely nothing to do with Alice. This process would be repeated until Alice and Bob meet up. By its nature tends to be A Day in the Limelight, because it tends to whittle down the cast to the essentials. It may also function as Once More, with Clarity as we may only see the other character at the tale end of their adventure, with the following story giving more information about what they were up to. This differs from Rotating Arcs because Rotating Arcs is a method of dealing with large casts and the arcs occurring in Rotating Arcs don't have to occur at the same time. This is similar to Anachronic Order, except the events in each arc of Simultaneous Arcs are probably told in the order that they occur from the point of view of the character and it is the arcs themselves that are not in chronological order. This can sometimes result in a Mind Screw, but it usually won't. Compare Hyperlink Story and Flashback B-Plot. Can be related to "Rashomon"-Style. P.O.V. Sequel is when they decide to do this after making the original arc. If the events of both stories are influenced by each other (i.e., one story is missing context that the other provides), then you have Synchronous Episodes.

Simultaneous Arcs / int_10f572f8	comment	The Dashverse: Hot Heads, Cold Hearts, and Nerves of Steel briefly follows two different Story Arcs occurring at the same time — the Mane Six, Shining Armor, and Cadence on their way to the Crystal Empire to save the foals kidnapped by King Sombra, and Pipsqueak, Alula, and Dinky Doo (later joined by Zecora) in the tunnels underneath Equestria and the Empire. The two groups eventually meet up just before the climax.

Simultaneous Arcs / int_13349140	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW): Issues 21-23 (during the Last Minute Arc) all take place at the same time — #21 from Tails' perspective after Amy called him (while trying to create a cure for the Metal Virus), #22 showing what happened on Amy's end after she made the call (before the fall of Restoration HQ) and #23 showing what Sonic was doing as events happened in the former two issues (facing Eggman as he slowly loses control of the Zombots). Issues 26-28 (during the All or Nothing Arc) has Sonic's friends travel to separate parts of the world to take 5 of the Chaos Emeralds back from five of the Deadly Six at the same time. Justified as they had to prevent them from warning each other. Near the end of #28, everyone makes it back with all 5 of the Emeralds. Well, almost everyone... note Cream the Rabbit is infected by the virus, so Gemerl sends the Chaos Emerald to the portal of the rendezvous point, choosing to stay with Cream until the crisis is over. Jet the Hawk does the same to stay with his fellow Babylon Rogues in a Last Stand against a Zombot horde. Issues 45-49 (the Trial By Fire Arc, as well as standalone episodes Hit the Pavement and Wound Up) occur parallel to the Imposter Syndrome miniseries before both subplots merge in Issue #50.

In "Tribunal", Nicholas Prentice helps his great-grandfather Aaron Zgierski expose Robert Greene as SS-ObersturmfÃ¼hrer Karl Rademacher. In "Time to Time", Gavin, Prentice's colleague at the time travel agency Chrononics, takes Lorelle Palmer back in time to UC Berkeley on April 14, 1969. When he loses her, he asks Satchko Watanabe and Travis to keep it from Prentice when he gets back. The Chrononics viewing portal shows Prentice and Aaron in Auschwitz in 1944 and later reuniting Aaron's half-sister Hannah (whom history recorded as dying at Auschwitz) with their father Leon in 1999. Prentice then returns to Chrononics in 2059 and learns that Gavin brought Lorelle to 1969 without permission.

There is some occasional overlap (such as Sara in "A Strange Twist" nearly getting struck by the speeding cars in the reverse police chase that occurs in "Highway Robbery"), and a plot element that occurs in one story (Ravenswood's wallet getting stolen) is wrapped up in the other one. There was also the story "Father's Day", which followed three sets of characters over a single day, but there wasn't any overlap between any of them. After book 6, there are two major plot threads followed simultaneously. Their chronicles are named "Book 7" and "Book 7Â½".

Layton has been called to an audience with the Storyteller, and only Phoenix and Maya are allowed to speak with the accused. The following scene takes place from Phoenix and Maya's perspective. After the beginning of Espella's interrogation, just as she is about to explain why the townsfolk fear her, the scene shifts to Layton and Luke. While the final Witch Trial is in progress, Layton and Luke are looking for final clues in the Storyteller's room, so while the majority of the corresponding chapter has you playing as Phoenix during the court sequence, the end of the chapter has you investigating with Layton and Luke.

The very next strip rewinds to when the twins switched places, but this time follows Elan and Thog as they escape from jail, Elan literally takes a level in badass, and they track down Nale, culminating in them jumping though that window.

Simultaneous Arcs / int_5e91c7b	comment	Resident Evil 2 was popular for its two-disc "zapping" system. You'd play through the game with one character, then you could start a New Game Plus with the other, giving the second character a slightly different story than if they'd been played first. The game treats the two playthroughs as simultaneous, intertwining stories, and the things you did in the first playthrough affected the world in the second, such as weapons in some areas not being available to the second character if you already took them as the first. In addition to this, the events of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis take place in the same general area, with the events of the second game taking place within the timeframe of the third - specifically, RE3 starts a day before 2, skips ahead two days (during which 2 happens), then picks back up the day after. The remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3 make a few changes, but keep the side-by-side timelines. 3 explicitly takes place a day or two either side of 2, with a one-day Time Skip in the middle to allow for 2's events to play out. Notably, in 3 Carlos blows up a wall in the police station that later becomes an obstacle for Leon and/or Claire in 2.

(e.g., Carl, Rick, and Michonne; Daryl and Beth; Maggie, Bob, and Sasha; etc.) Small hints and clues of one group's whereabouts and actions show up in other groups' stories, with the common driving force among all the survivors is following the railroad tracks to Terminus.

Simultaneous Arcs / int_8d817ccb	comment	Lost has done this in increasing amounts since Season 3. Episode 3x01 tells what's happening to Jack, Kate, and Sawyer after the Season 2 finale. Episode 3x02 shows what's happening to Sun, Jin, and Sayid. Episode 3x03 shows what's happening back at the beach camp with Locke and others. Season 5 has delved into this style even further, with some episodes focusing only on those still on the island and others focusing entirely on those who left (though "simultaneous" is somewhat a relative term when time travel is happening.) Subverted in the Season 4 episode "Ji Yeon". The audience is first shown Sun in the hospital about to give birth, screaming for her husband Jin. We then cut to a scene of Jin on his cellphone, saying he'll be at the hospital soon. We follow Jin's day as he tries to buy the perfect gift before heading to the hospital. Only at the end of the story do we learn that the scene with Jin is a flashback to when he was delivering a gift to his boss's client in the hospital, while the scene with Sun was a flash forward, and that Jin could not possibly be at the hospital (Sun screaming for him is thus taken to be hysterical ravings due to the emotional and physical pain of childbirth)

The Architect is revealed to be Klaus, also known as Zanza in the original game. The difference is that the Architect is the good yet sorrowful half who wishes for lifeforms to control their own destiny, while Zanza is the evil half that wishes to create a destroy-and-recycle mechanism. This also puts a (narrative) sense of urgency on the player, as The Architect tells you that he will die along with his counterpart if the other is killed, and if the player has played the first game, they will be aware than Shulk and his friends are on their way to do just that.

While they can not resupply at the base, there is still enough debris in orbit to salvage, and to take cover in.

Dungeons & Devils follows the forces of Nighon and Eofol as they continue the invasion of Erathia, learns that Queen Catherine has arrived in Erathia and is preparing to secure Steadwick, and so have to rush to occupy it before she can arrive. Spoils of War follows Tatalia and Krewlod taking advantage of the demoralization and distractions of Erathia's soldiers to launch border wars, only to end up bogged down in one with each other (now that they actually had a border — before, Erathia was a buffer between them). The entire (original; things get more complicated with the expansions) game takes place concurrently with Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven, with The Mandate of Heaven focusing on what happens in Enroth, the setting of Heroes II and the kingdom Catherine is Queen of and sailed from.

Implied to have taken place on the same day — as hinted at by slight overlaps in the storylines at the beginnings and endings of the episodes — despite being set in different locations and having originally aired a week apart from each other. Season 5's "Made In Manehattan" and "Brotherhooves Social." Applejack and Rarity being summoned to Manehattan is actually what sets up the conflict in Brotherhooves Social. The Season 5 finale "The Cutie Remark - Part 1 and Part 2" and My Little Pony: Equestria Girls â€“ Friendship Games, although Friendship Games aired several weeks before. During Friendship Games, Sunset Shimmer attempts to contact Princess Twilight Sparkle and ask for her help, but she doesn't respond. Later, after the conflict has already been resolved, Princess Twilight appears and apologizes for not coming sooner, but she was dealing with her own adventure involving time travel, which was then shown in The Cutie Remark. It makes sense since both this two-parter and Friendship Games were written by Josh Haber. And both of them end with The Hero stopping the Arc Villain not with violence, but by offering their hoof/hand in friendship, which they accept. As initially conceived, the "Mirror Magic" segment of My Little Pony: Equestria Girls â€“ Magical Movie Night would have occurred simultaneously with My Little Pony: The Movie (2017), as a way to explain Starlight Glimmer's absence from the film (which, in the real world, was because production on The Movie began before the decision to make Starlight a major character was made). However, this concept didn't make it to either finished product, as no reference to The Movie is made in "Mirror Magic" and Starlight also gets a cameo appearance in The Movie.

Simultaneous Arcs / int_c747499e	comment	As initially conceived, the "Mirror Magic" segment of My Little Pony: Equestria Girls â€“ Magical Movie Night would have occurred simultaneously with My Little Pony: The Movie (2017), as a way to explain Starlight Glimmer's absence from the film (which, in the real world, was because production on The Movie began before the decision to make Starlight a major character was made). However, this concept didn't make it to either finished product, as no reference to The Movie is made in "Mirror Magic" and Starlight also gets a cameo appearance in The Movie.

Each segment has a scene connecting it to another case (where its characters are seen in the background), with the first such intersection doubling as It Makes Sense in Context.

Simultaneous Arcs / int_ccf875f7	comment	Criminal Minds almost always does this, especially at the end of the episode (and often at the beginning of it as well). They often show the killer's actions, then cut to the BAU agents and show them getting introduced to the case. Then once the team have worked out the killer's method, they'll show the killer starting to commit his crime once again. In most cases, the team will then be introduced into the picture (usually, they literally drive into the frame or walk through the door). Sometimes the camera actually cuts to them though, usually on the occasions when the bad guy is not sympathetic.

Then the final stage has you pursuing the enemy ship into the past where you and your past self finish the job.

Examples include Elizabeta's drug deal involving Niko and Johnny, Johnny's theft of the diamonds from a deal involving Luis, Gay Tony and the Cook, and the ambushed deal at The Libertonian involving all three main characters of the games. This narrative structure inspired Rockstar North to expand on the concept of Simultaneous Arcs in the development of Grand Theft Auto V.

Simultaneous Arcs / int_f0a86c12	comment	Frequent device on How I Met Your Mother. It was first done in the Season 1 episode "Cupcake" with two threads as the group is split between Marshall at a tailor and Lily shopping for a wedding dress. The technique's been used several times since but its more common form in the show was first exhibited in the early Season 2 episode "Brunch". In this episode there are three groups rather than two and the contact points before the last one are actually different parts of the same event, as well. One of the most memorable usages of this trope appears in "The Burning Beekeeper" where Ted tells the story of Lily and Marshall's party room by room, with the title character running screaming through the house at the end of each one. This remains unexplained until the end of the kitchen segment.' "Ten Session" takes place over the course of 10 weeks as Ted talks about his evolving relationship with his dermatologist, Stella, removing an Embarrassing Tattoo. The thing was, a few episodes prior "The Platinum Rule" actually showed the beginning of that story and Ted's first attempt to take Stella on a date. So it can be assumed the episodes in between also happened during this time.

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days takes place at the same time as Chain of Memories from Roxas's point of view. It starts at the end of Kingdom Hearts and not long before the events of Chain of Memories and continues until just before Kingdom Hearts II when Roxas fights Riku and loses, which then kicks off the prologue of II. Birth By Sleep features three storylines of the three main protagonists all taking place at the same time with paths of the three converging at times.
