I've been googling ever since to find the names for the InuYasha anime story arcs and I Need your Help. The only arcs of Inuyasha I found were the "BAND OF SEVEN" and the "TSUBAKI" arcs.

Can you tell me the names of the InuYasha anime arcs I can't find? Thank you. I appreciate it. User:Jordanbatista (talk) 3 March 2018 (UTC)

I've thought about this a bit myself, and, yeah, the arcs in InuYasha aren't quite as well defined as story arcs are in other series. So, this isn't really official or anything, just something that I came up with off the top of my head:
I guess you could say that the first 30 episodes or so are basically the introduction arc, where all of the main characters are introduced. And, I guess, the next 30-50 episodes (until Naraku disappears), could be the "Naraku arc" or something like that, since Naraku himself is fully introduced, as well as all of his incarnations. And then that leads into the Band of Seven arc, which I guess could start several episodes before they're actually introduced, starting right after Naraku disappears. Then, after the Band of Seven is defeated and Naraku makes his return at Mt. Hakurei, that one could be "The Return of Naraku". And, I mean, that could span the rest of the first InuYasha series. Although, that would be, like, 40 episodes or so. So I guess you could call the last part the Hakudōshi arc, starting with his introduction and spanning the rest of the series, since he's in most episodes from then on and is very integral to the story. Then I think that Final Act kind of stands on its own as one story arc. I hope this helps; I was kind of just brainstorming here and this is what I came up with. I could be totally wrong here, who knows. See you space cowboy 03:41, March 12, 2018 (UTC)
