Both arch and debian fresh out the box is minimal. Debian minimum requirement is 1160MB for Hard Disk, I'd imagine something similar for arch. From scratch, neither comes with bloat. You're probably conflating debian with ubuntu or linux mint out the box.

By bloat I mean specifically those kde applications and games that almost all beginner friendly distros bundle in.

Yeah no, you install it and it's a black screen. There's no de on fresh debian or arch, they're very comparable.
