I assume this will be around 7 episodes. The final story arc after this one is much longer so I wonder how they will split it up.

The arc after this will probably be a full blown two cour season like the first I'd imagine.

why is that? because of the time slot?

Starts 5 weeks after the Spring season starts.

Ninja Kamui didn't start until February 11th and it will have 12 episodes. I don't think a late start necessarily means a short season.

Ninja Kamui is essentially an American production for Adult Swim, so standard rules don't apply. Not saying it *wont* have 12, but Ninja Kamui is definitely not the example to use

Or 2/3 movies.

It's 8 chapters of Manga. In comparison, Mugen Train has around 12 chapters and that resulted in 7 episodes.

I haven't read the manga, and I don't know what to expect going forward, but I've seen some comments theorizing that flashbacks from the final arc could appear earlier to help pad out this mini arc. I have no idea what the "flashbacks" entail (and I'd like to keep it that way), but if this arc is really only 8 chapters long, I'm thinking that theory sounds reasonable.
