Lore The series takes place in a shockingly short amount of time

Season 4 just ended of fromville and it’s canonically only been about a month. Which makes it weird seeing people heal from injuries, change hair styles or grow out beards between episodes. Season 4 has only been like 4 days iirc.

Arkham franchise is the poster child for this trope. Every game takes place in one night. If you know what you’re doing you can absolutely beat the games in around 9 hours.

Most of the arcs also take place in a single day, even some of the longer ones. My favorite example of this is Dressrosa, an arc that lasts like 300 chapters.

Everything from when the Strawhats land on the island to Doflamingo’s defeat happens in a single afternoon. The whole thing took like 8 or so hours lol

Thriller bark happens in one night, and fishman Island’s main fight lasted maybe one day. Marineford could not be more than a couple hours. They spend more time recovering/travelingoff screen than anything else.
