by the way, please don't use answers.yahoo as a cited source, while it is a useful question and answer hub, it is by no means a credible source for valid information.

A Story Arc is defined as "A continuing storyline classified in episodic storytelling", simply put, that means its like a single series or even a single episode in an overreaching story, while a saga is simply defined as a "story" with the word itself finding roots in Scandinavian, German and Norse sources.

Technically there's actually nothing wrong with the way the author has done this, since we can consider the Saga to be the entire story overall and the Arcs to be "Brune Civil War" and whatever the heck you'd call Tigre's overall adventure in Arc Two, maybe "Rise of Demons" or "Tigre's Adventure"? either way it's still possible to define both of them as whole arcs each given how the events from 1-5 and 6-10 directly lead into each other, but it's impossible to establish the whole thing as an Arc because there's an uneventful gap between 5 and 6, making 1-10 more defined as a Saga.
