Here is the Top 10 Best Greatest Anime Arcs Of All Time – LIST
10. SHOGUN ASSASSINATION: GINTAMA
Right off the bat we are starting with an arc that is considered by many to be a turning point of gentama it is definitely a strange sight to see an anime that revels in its comedic tropes to suddenly switch to a more dramatized serious style within this new arc as the name itself suggests the shogun assassination arc is centralized around shogun’s intended death and you are left to explore whether he is really dead or not with a clever approach when it comes to the handing of the plot as well as intense use of drama it is sure to keep you at the edge of your seat as you go through it the biggest appeal of this arc comes from a source that many did not expect and that is the action shunan is a genre that is known for well executed action scenes and gentama did not disappoint in the shogun assassination arc as well each fight was nail-biting as the stakes kept growing higher and higher the use of drama is so intense that his arc single-handedly proved to the world that the series creator hideyaki sorachi can show more than just comedy through his work.
9. MARINEFORD ARC: ONE PEACE
One piece in itself is quite the long show and it is a safe claim to make that its fans will stick by it until the very end however this particular arc is special for multitudes of reasons after all we get to see a war take place with the involvement of all the strong figures of the world of one piece ace’s execution caused the combined force of Luffy the whitebeard pirates and its allies to take on the world government head on this arc revealed a couple of things that end up being integral for the future Luffy’s acquisition of the conqueror’s hockey was one of these such things as it shocked many in the battlefield however nothing made this ark more badass than the way whitebeard handled himself during the entire war the proclamation he gives out with his dying breath ends up inspiring even new generations of pirates to take up sail whitebeard in his dying breath reassuring the masses that the one-piece does exist literal chills.
8. CELL SAGA: DRAGON BALL Z
The most legendary arc of the dragon ball franchise and it’s the one that many believe to have shaped it to what it has become today its perfection is so appreciated that some to this day believe that it should have ended here the main reason why the cell saga is so appreciated by the masses is due to it introducing new concepts that ended up sticking with dragon ball for a long time for example time travel especially with the arrival of future trunks however what really made this arc shine is the expansion of the super scion transformations taking something that is already beyond cool and making it better also it is undeniable that Vegeta piccolo and Gohan went through significant character development during this arc especially with how Gohan ended up being the first to achieve super scion 2. Gohan’s fight against cell to this day is considered an iconic moment in dragon ball history.
7. SOUL SOCIETY ARC: BLEACH
bleach is an anime that is beloved by many there’s a reason why it’s a part of the holy trinity of Shonen alongside naruto and one-piece while the agent of the shinigami arc managed to do a good job setting up the world of bleach while introducing the core concepts behind the series it is not until the widely acclaimed soul society arc that we get to see the inner workings as well as integral figures of the core of it all, after all, each new episode ended up introducing to us interesting characters as well as how they connect into this world did we forget to mention that Ichigo goes through a tremendous transformation during this arc we get to see our favorite orange-haired protagonists take on foes that are unthinkably strong like captain Kenpachi Zaraki and captain Byakuya kuvchiki however this arc is also known for its iconic end where they immediately throw out all your expectations by revealing Aizen’s true self to everybody.

Up next we have an arc coming from another well-known Shonen anime it is safe to say that the chimera antarctic from a hunter by a hunter is one of the most loved anime arcs of all time due to its dark and compelling tone switch along with amazing battles, of course, there are some downsides to it as well as the whole arc itself is pretty lengthy with 60 episodes to go through but with the new elements characters and the story they are bringing into the table it is somewhat justified and we can ensure you that it will be a wild ride in the long run while the ark comes along with quite the lengthy dialogue and story the amazing battle scenes along with impeccable art direction and music makes up for everything.
5. INVASION OF PAIN ARC: NARUTO
The invasion of pain arc this arc managed to single-handedly shift the tone of the series in one go with the death of Jiraiya setting a somber tone at the start of this particular arc things only get harder from here we get to see him train in the sage arts acquire new powers and attempt to arrive in the village in time only to find his beloved hiddenly village blown to bits and many people in his life dead or beaten to the ground no other arc had set the stakes up quite as high as this one and that is due to its amazingly written antagonist Nagato, of course, there were other significant turning points here that’s grand reveal that the one and only Minato kamikaze is indeed naruto’s father with amazing reveals like that and act like no other it is no surprise that this arc is universally loved.
4. HIDEOUT RAID ARC: MY HERO ACADEMIA
As one of the most noteworthy and well-established shun anime of our era my hero academia made waves ever since its first season was aired however the tensions never really rose as high until we reached this particular arc after all the league of villains went as far as to kidnap one of the students during their escape as well this arc is special due to how it shows the students from, high finally taking matters to their own hands in order to rescue their classmates however the moment that made this entire arc what it still remains as one of the most iconic moments of my hero academia to date almighty’s final struggle against all for one was one that showcased the entire world of almighty’s true state but what makes a hero true was truly shown as he ends up persevering even through the dire consequences and the baton was properly passed to our protagonist midoriya.
3. THE PROMISED DAY ARC: FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST
It is safe to say that this anime is one that many consider being one of the best to ever exist this particular arc itself is one of the reasons as to why it is considered to be so the promised day arc is where many of the things that the series had hinted at from the very beginning finally fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle as a mind-boggling conclusion to a shooting anime that is considered a cut above the rest generalizing the plot would simply make no sense however know that a good time awaits you if you decide to give this series as a whole a shot.
2. ZERO REQUIEM ARC: CODE GEASS
The anime that managed to make number two on our list is considered to be so complicated that there are no official arcs within it however as the community had looked into it they decided to take certain steps to create unofficial arcs in order to keep track of what goes on in the world of code guis in this particular case the zero requiem arc includes everything from episode 22 to episode 25. without spoiling too much from potentially one of the greatest anime to ever exist we can safely say that the zero requiem arc ends up building up to essentially provide for us one of the best anime endings of all time.
1. WAR FOR PARADIS ARC: ATTACK ON TITANS
As of the time of writing this video, there are only three episodes out of this arc and already it has grown to an arc that is unpredictable in nature as well as twisting the very fabric of what is already established within the attack on titan universe because of this alone we will absolutely refrain from spoiling anything related to this arc but do walk in expecting the ride of your life because as of now it is looking like it is going to be the biggest anime of 2021 well at least for now with this season aiming to be the finale things are building up to a point where the climax is going to be huge it is also apparent that this is no longer the errand you knew from the previous seasons and that alone will keep you with that we have reached the end of this POST.
