Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Arc-V's title is a pun: 'Arc' for the story arcs across dimensions, 'V' for the Roman numeral five and the five dragon boys.
The Standard Dimension's Entertainment Dueling directly parodies Japanese idol culture and the commodification of 'authentic' performance in media.
