@mushi This common misconception stems from with how the American dubbing was handled. In Japan, each series has its own name and was broken up into proper seasons each ~13 episodes in length. The dubs were done after these finished airing and the distinctions between each series were removed (the only reason we know them now is because fans looked them up and told the rest of us), and they aired all at once with none of the original breaks between seasons that existed creating the appearance that each series was only a very long season of one larger series, when in fact the overall franchise consists of numerous series each of which consists of usually four normal-length seasons. Notice how the major story arcs tend to coincide with every 13th episode or so for evidence of this.
