none, the begining of dragon ball z, from the saiyans to freeza's final battle could be said to be also a saga as long as those and its like a trillion times more gripping

Marine Ford feels overrated to me, I never got the feel for that arc

The one piece is real!!

Marineford wasn't just a war; it was a symphony of farewells between big brother and little brother, the old generation and the new generation. An arc that brought tears to the eyes.
Pain's invasion was also epic, but Nagato's redemption at the end of the arc, when he revived all of Konoha's inhabitants, robbed the arc of its tragic beauty.

Itachi and Kisame's leaf infiltration was better than the pain invasion.

From this ones I'd say Marineford, too many characters being too epic... One Piece achieves heights like only very few ever could, Hunter x Hunter's Chimera Ant Castle Invasion would be my mention on Epic Arcs as well ^^

None. Like 1 or 2 people at most died in ANY of them, hence nothing about them was epic or involved any truly high stakes. It's one of the weaknesses of the Shounen genre despite it being the most popular genre.

I don't count Bleach because I never liked Bleach.
