I was just about to comment something like that, cuz I remember that being put in the manga a few times as a joke even if it wasn't an actual story. Still, it does very much seem like something they would do on their off time from missions.
The filler so legendary that it became half canon, they made a part two on ahippuden and the face revealing has been made by the original author Masashi Kishimoto.
There was a filler episode where Naruto, Shino and someone else have to go to a funeral of some rich guy and not to laugh, otherwise the heir who hired them will not get money as testament. Everyone was trying to make Naruto laugh and seeing him holding it was very entertaining
It was simply just Naruto and Shino, not a 3rd member. Shino was needed bc he was so serious all the time, so obv he wouldnt laugh Naruto was simply there as a filler member to make sure everything went well, nobody else was picked because everyone else was on missions.
Fillers in OG Naruto really hit different. They were basically stupid missions, but they’re also missions that genin usually take too. Better than shippuden’s filler which is just flashbacks
Shippuden filler arcs fail to be entertaining by trying to be too serious or trying too hard not to be filler. Meanwhile Naruto part 1 is mostly just lighthearted comedy episodes with some part of it being serious.
I did like the flash back to when they did the exams in the hidden sand. Hidan and Kakazu were the ones that got Fuu and gave story to the one girl that died on a mission that connan gave her after the good report that came out from the exam. She would become a pain body
@@pafoneto1275but shippuden fillers arent silly or just pointless missions because they are sort of cannon stories like orochimstu fighting sasori and how akatsuki members got recruited and stuff like that ...i consider fillers like that cannon...also the second chunnin exam that was held in village hidden in sand where we get to see the girl who was later one of six paths of pain and how she died and 7 tailed jinchuuriki
The filler is definitely variable in quality or relevance, but some do offer really nice worldbuilding and character moments, like the beetle tracking one letting Hinata show her dedication and development, the sand village Chunin Exams giving a lot of the Konoha 11 some great moments, and various arcs fleshing out the other jinchuriki where their history is otherwise skipped in canon
I remember being a little kid, not knowing what fillers mean. My ass would be wondering when are we going to get serious and focused on sauske or the akatsuki.
Same. I remember zetsu showing up and teasing the akatsuki after the final valley arc and thinking shippuden would air soon. But was just months of filler content
That was the only reason I watched the rest of the Naruto episodes. Hoping we could go back to that plot one day. So was excited to hear that Naruto Shippuden was broadcasting, which at the time, was on Disney XD. Also Dub
The filler arcs, to me is what made naruto so entertaining as a kid. It just diluted the whole plot for sauske to come back. It felt so cool seeing all of these different characters, but they never came up again in any significant way🥲
And then Boruto came out and it was basically ALL filler. Most of it was surprisingly good, despite the actual canon plot being complete dogshit. People are still desperate for the canon, though, for some reason, and I genuinely do not get it.
I honestly didn't think the 3rd great beast arc was terrible. It was cool how Lee and Gai figured out the animated training dummies were controlled by each other and they use Morse Code to communicate a plan. Probably the most clever ideas in all the filler.
I personally think everyone has the liberty to create their own headcanons. I'm watching all of Naruto with fillers and some of those are good smh and gives a lot more depth to some characters or events in the anime. If someone don't like them for not being canon in the manga by the mangaka just skip them and don't disturb the fans that like it. It's just a fictional story in the end; everyone can imagine anything they want about them (that is the reason fanfics exist).
The hidden star village is probably more Canon now than we realize given what we know behind the Otsosuki and their constant traveling to other planets to suck the life force out of them through divine trees.
Kinda crazy how filler-free the first 100 episodes of Naruto are. For an anime production famous for shoving filler everywhere it sure didn't start that way
the filler starts out basically at the end, like when they got to the penultimate episode of the actual manga they did like 2 years of filler then the ep of naruto leaving with jiraiya, it's so fucking weird
@@postaldudeirlI must asume, as it happened when going from Dragon Ball to Dragon Ball Z, that the production staff wanted content to be there, while they were in production of Shippuden, as the manga keeps its name, but the anime decided to change the title due to the Time Skip You can notice how they implemented how Shippuden would work when the episode titles appeared like in Shippuden in the 2 years of filler after the Sasuke Fight
To be fair, the pacing was super slow. In the Konoha invasion arc, they stretch a scene where Sarutobi is stabbed by Orochi for like 4 episodes somehow.
Now I can rewatch them😀. And I'm serious. They are interesting. Especially the arc eith Genno(Konoha olans recapture mission). And the Menma arc it was just art.
26 was the Most Blatant 'We Need more Time to Animate Chunin Exams' Clip Show Recap Ever. I would just barely call it a Filler Episode since it plays like a Clip Show Recap in disguise.
Hidden Star Village, Kaima Capture Mission, the Menma arc, a lot of this are preety good, also on Kaima Capture Mission we see the kid Sasuke with what looks to be his shipuden outfit, or part of it, a good tease of what they where working on.
@@TheDudey The best fillers are in Shippuden, since you're going to watch fillers anyway you're just wasting watching Naruto's filler insteado of the shippuden's one.
@@meliantex well i am watching at a higher rate now, when i started shippuden, it was right before my exams in december and watched it during the rest of the schoolyear. I am now at ep 369. Oh yeah i also took breaks to watch other anime
2:35 Same, as a kid I thought in the filler arc where they went to one of Orochimaru's hideouts (0:23) they were actually going to find and retrieve Sasuke 🥲
I, as an eighteen year old, wanted to get into anime and thought Naruto was a good place to start. I watched every filler because it was my first anime lol.
The Bikochu Search Mission and Kurosuki Family Removal mission were actually very cool filler arcs. The "Old man sets up bombs" also had a great buildup. Just the end could leave one dissatisfied. And, before I forget, some of these filler seasons had very cool and nostalgic opening and ending themes, which could easily compete with the best canon arc ones.
Looking at these comments, I'm starting to believe that I'm the only one who doesn't have a problem with fillers. xD I actually liked them. Not all of them were equally good, but I liked having them within the story. Yeah, there was little focus on the main plot, on the Akatsuki, on Sasuke whenever these were happening. But that's why I liked it. They helped time pass in the story, and it struck me as a good thing that it wasn't all just running after Sasuke. Kind of like "yeah, things happen but life goes on", Naruto and friends still have to serve the village and complete missions even after Sasuke is gone. Plus, chill parts help the dangerous and exciting bits shine imo. If everything was constant battle, excitement and danger, then nothing would be truly exciting. It would dull out after a while. I can only take so many "oh no what a terrible situation the main characters are in, what's gonna happen?!" episodes before I stop having a reaction to whenever characters are in a difficult spot.
Idk why some people be hating on Naruto fillers, I get it if it was back in the day where you couldn’t skip a filler, but now people don’t really have an excuse to hate on it. As a kid the fillers to me where the thing that made me love Naruto, sure I liked the story and stuff, but the fillers were so goofy and stuff and as a kid that’s what i liked plus it fleshed out a lot of characters I liked but didn’t get enough screen time.
Agreed. Some fillers have a lot of quality and creativity too. If someone don't like them just skip and don't bother about. I personally like some fillers on Naruto, especially the Shippuden ones. They just make the anime feel different and give more depth to the plot.
I hate being adult, I enjoy all of these episodes even if it's a filler. I hope Shippuden Managed well having filler episodes like the first season. Or should I say atleast they make these episodes canon.
The problem with Shippuden is that filler episodes were in the middle of the original storyline, unlike Naruto Part 1 where most fillers were after the main story ended. In addition, most fillers in Part 1 are episodic, slice-of-life mini adventures. You can watch them without worrying about anything outside that mini-story. It's kind of like watching a movie. Shippuden fillers were like trying too hard to NOT be fillers.
Not all the shippuden filler is bad. One arc even shows how the akatsuki captured the 3 tails when it was done off screen in the manga. The filler after the pain arc was rancid though. Bout fell out of my chair when i saw that ostrich. Imagine watching goku defeat frieza, then 5 episodes later he struggles to fight a wild animal. Nothingburger filler is the worst.
That ending is so relatable. I remember watching Bleach as a kid and falling asleep though so many episodes of the Bount arc. Of course Naruto was not much better, i basically skipped to Shippuden when i got to around EP 200 because of how boring it was. Thankfully shortly after that i discovered what fillers were and started to skip them unless they seemed somewhat interesting. But then eventually of course came another great evil: Waiting for the episode of the week only for it to be a filler...I swear i died inside when Ichigo was about to fight Ulquiorra and then a whole filler arc came out of nowhere.
It's really funny. When I was a kid, I stopped watching whenever filler came on. I didn't even know what filler was, I just knew by instinct it was filler because of how terrible it was. Though after Sasuke retrieval I DID put it on in the background when it aired on Saturday. Other than that, I stuck to weekday re-runs of old arcs.
Fun fact: Naruto (pre-timeskip) had 220 episodes. By counting all the filler episodes, we get to 91 episodes. That means 41.̅3̅6% of all the pre-timeskip of Naruto is filler and only 129 episodes are part of the main show plot.
I still can't get over that Mizuki, you know, THE guy whose only talent was throwing a big shuriken, THAT Mizuki, just casually gets a fucking curse mark and tries to kill Naruto as a buff tiget man to get revenge. Part 1 filler is the actual dumbest, but sometimes it hits on something so out there it kind-of works.
Technically curry of life is semi canon maybe didnt happen, but show that raiga die and his swords were later recovered, he was made canon on might guy flashback years later
NaruHina fans consider the Bikochuu Arc canon, because they actually get screentime: Naruto sees Hinata nude, and Hinata develops the undefeatable 64 Palms ultimate Bug Zapper Jutsu.
Bikochu arc has the best Naruhina interaction of the whole anime... So yes, considering Kishimoto didn't take the time to develop the relationship and still wants us to believe that Naruto fell in love with Hinata... It is fair to say these interactions are canon.
I watched filler episodes as a kid and I still do now. I've watched Naruto over 14 times (on my way to 15), 5 of those with fillers, Ovas and movies. 🗿
Naruto was the first show I watched knowing it was anime. So I didn't know about the filler problems shounen had. I watched all Naruto filler until I caught up to the anime, which was around the time the chunin exam in Suna flashback arc happened. I have... vivid memories of that arc. It wasn't even that bad, but it interrupted the war arc. Which made it worse.
I watched all of these hoping they’d finally go get Sasuke back, but then Naruto goes with Jiraiya for the timeskip which left me confused. I looked it up and was mortified to find out it was all filler. This was my first encounter with filler this big. No amount of Dragon Ball Z Garlic Jr could have prepared me for this garbage.
Nah I like them. Like seriously, we get an entire arc where Naruto is strong without using the rasengan once. Hinata develops her own special technique and defeats an opponent that defeated Naruto. Ino uses the second technique of her clan which she didn't use in canon material. We get to see interesting team ups. We get to see a fight between Kakashi and a guy who was using tricks to copy Gara's jutsu. We get to see Gai and Rock Lee have an awesome match. And seriously, watch the curry of life arc.
There's a naruto episode, where at the end of it, a kind of monster merges faces in a bizarre scene, I don't remember which episode it is, could anyone help me?
Technically the kurosuki family removal mission is canon and has been since the might dai flashback in the manga, where he’s made an appearance. This is because Raiga Kurosuki was one of the seven mist swordsmen to have fought against might dai in his 8th gate formation.
Yeah, I personally like the mizuki, curry of life, cursed warrior, kaima capture mission, star village, peddles escort and every lee focused episode, and the bomb one is probably just as good as the canon arcs to be honest. I really want plus ultra man or some other what if TH-camr to do a what if filler/movies were canon for Naruto one day because most filler are good (except the recap episodes skip those)
i never skip filler episodes, very rarely i would not watch it. However, i always go through the thumbnail, title and description at the least. I watched all Naruto, shippudden, One piece, bleach, Dragon ball, etc fillers. They were all great. Don't know why some people skip them. Those are probably same people who argues, japanese dub voices have more emotions in them. 😂 Manga is different, anime is different many times filler stories and characters influence the story in anime even if it is not canon according to manga. Also, you see more of side characters and their storyline which can help you connect with them better. For example, Zanpakto arc from bleach where you get to meet various zanpaktoes as person or last filler arc of naruto with gara in which gara is trying to be a better person following naruto's words. Otherwise Gara's transformation can seem very sudden. Anime fans are just kids imo with their weird logics about almost everything. 😂
Naruto's Filler that somehow so interesting was when we saw alternate kurama power. Ofc the comedy filler was fun too like kakashi mask & Naruto hold your laugh competition with Shino 😂😂 But man , that kurama cakra was something else
In the menma arc menma didn’t have to kill himself Naruto was right there and could’ve sent a clone to set off the bombs I know it’s filler and writers had to get rid of him but still
Fair, but, looking INSIDE universe, clone technique is hard to do unless you have like a lot of chakra, and Menma was almost agonizing at that point, maybe it would be impossible for him to do it that way.
I remember always watching one where the team has to escort a guy doing a run to deliver an orb and get attacked by an electric dude and was always so boring to me. It was usually my drop off point until I learned I could just skip it.
From this video, episode 136 onward is all anime only. Was the manga chapter that covered episode 135 really it between then and the start of the Shippuden stuff?
I just made it to the long filler list. First time watcher and I wanted to see if anything would interest me. I might go back and check some out someday but right now I just want to watch the story continue
😭 I watched all of these thinking when will this end I downloaded everything. I went from loving Naruto to hating it, they should of just taken a break
Thank Heavens my Family hadn't had cable i mrhe early 2010's or else i would've watched the rest of the Naruto filler. ( I stopped in the Kiba, Hinata and Naruto mission filler)
The bikochu beetle arc pissed me off. I didn’t realize it was filler, unlike most other filler arcs they make it seem like it’s actually important, and then they fight over this beetle, get it, and Naruto ruins it all by farting. You shittin me
The Kakashi face reveal episode was legendary!
Half that episode is an actual manga gag
I was just about to comment something like that, cuz I remember that being put in the manga a few times as a joke even if it wasn't an actual story. Still, it does very much seem like something they would do on their off time from missions.
Probably the most acceptable filler to watch in the whole series. Remember watching it and dying with laughter 😂
The filler so legendary that it became half canon, they made a part two on ahippuden and the face revealing has been made by the original author Masashi Kishimoto.

I looked it up and was mortified to find out it was all filler. This was my first encounter with filler this big. No amount of Dragon Ball Z Garlic Jr could have prepared me for this garbage.
101 was the only one I think should’ve been canon. IT WAS SO FREAKING ADORABLE.
Nah I like them. Like seriously, we get an entire arc where Naruto is strong without using the rasengan once. Hinata develops her own special technique and defeats an opponent that defeated Naruto. Ino uses the second technique of her clan which she didn't use in canon material. We get to see interesting team ups. We get to see a fight between Kakashi and a guy who was using tricks to copy Gara's jutsu. We get to see Gai and Rock Lee have an awesome match. And seriously, watch the curry of life arc.
There's a naruto episode, where at the end of it, a kind of monster merges faces in a bizarre scene, I don't remember which episode it is, could anyone help me?
It has to be around 136 episodes, the main enemy has an ability of absorb people and you can see their faces on his body deformities
Let's be real we love part 1 fillers for the incredible Yura Yura song
I wonder how it would look like if some of these filler characters got added to the fighting games...
The canon characters would look and say who the fuck are these people
Happen in the naruto nintendo games, the game ezclusive chars were still beign added up to the final wii game
Naruto and Naruto Shippuuden fillers all played up Naruto's goofiness without realizing what made it work in the main series.
I remember even as a kid , the animation in some filler arcs was straight up horrendous
Eu, antigamente, também não sabia dessas coisas de canon e filler, então cheguei a assistir quase tudo.
I mean, filler episodes are a mixed bag. Some, especially the one-shots, are hilarious.
I have powerful memories of the Kakashi’s face episode and the Mizuki Furry form. I was convinced I imagined the furry one for years
Technically the kurosuki family removal mission is canon and has been since the might dai flashback in the manga, where he’s made an appearance.
This is because Raiga Kurosuki was one of the seven mist swordsmen to have fought against might dai in his 8th gate formation.
Boruto kinda comfirmed that it's canon
So which of these fillers are worth watching(including funny ones)? Besides episode 101 which is a special chapter written by Kishimoto himself.
The bikochu search, is mostly fun, a little romance
Gonsuki capture mission has funny interactions, and is lighthearted
168 is pure dumb comedy, really funny
175-176 are also funny, Kiba Naruto and Hinata had good chemistry and are mostly funny
192, is full comedy, but Ino is not that funny jaja
That Old Guy Planting bombs in Konoha was 🔥👑
Many other Gems 💎 too
Don't skip✨🙌
Yeah, I personally like the mizuki, curry of life, cursed warrior, kaima capture mission, star village, peddles escort and every lee focused episode, and the bomb one is probably just as good as the canon arcs to be honest.
I really want plus ultra man or some other what if TH-camr to do a what if filler/movies were canon for Naruto one day because most filler are good (except the recap episodes skip those)
@@nani4249fr🙌
I love every Lee based filler and the ones in which Jiraiya or Might Guy shows Up 🙌✨
i agree
Stop the bombs in Konoha was interesting, Naruto and the others came to good use and the ending was sad, definitely worth watching.
Doing gods work
I actually liked the filler episodes lol they were fun to watch
Fillers like ep 196 -201 and ep 213 -215 are gold 😢
Boruto filler canon arcs would neveeeeeeer
Doing god's work
iirc the villain from the Curry arc retroactively became canon or something like that
i never skip filler episodes, very rarely i would not watch it. However, i always go through the thumbnail, title and description at the least. I watched all Naruto, shippudden, One piece, bleach, Dragon ball, etc fillers. They were all great. Don't know why some people skip them. Those are probably same people who argues, japanese dub voices have more emotions in them. 😂 Manga is different, anime is different many times filler stories and characters influence the story in anime even if it is not canon according to manga. Also, you see more of side characters and their storyline which can help you connect with them better. For example, Zanpakto arc from bleach where you get to meet various zanpaktoes as person or last filler arc of naruto with gara in which gara is trying to be a better person following naruto's words. Otherwise Gara's transformation can seem very sudden. Anime fans are just kids imo with their weird logics about almost everything. 😂
Mizuki walked so rob lucci could run
Naruto's Filler that somehow so interesting was when we saw alternate kurama power.
Ofc the comedy filler was fun too like kakashi mask & Naruto hold your laugh competition with Shino 😂😂
But man , that kurama cakra was something else
Idc what you say but paddlers escort mission arc was peak fiction fight me
I don't think it was that good, but the Naruto and Hinata fight was really good and dramatic.
I didn’t know about the concept of fillers as a kid either.
In the menma arc menma didn’t have to kill himself
Naruto was right there and could’ve sent a clone to set off the bombs
I know it’s filler and writers had to get rid of him but still
Fair, but, looking INSIDE universe, clone technique is hard to do unless you have like a lot of chakra, and Menma was almost agonizing at that point, maybe it would be impossible for him to do it that way.
@@pafoneto1275 Fair point, I admit I only watched that arc once a year ago so my memory is a bit foggy on it
I remember always watching one where the team has to escort a guy doing a run to deliver an orb and get attacked by an electric dude and was always so boring to me. It was usually my drop off point until I learned I could just skip it.
You have no idea i literally spent 2 days during my 1st year to complete OG Naruto series.
From this video, episode 136 onward is all anime only. Was the manga chapter that covered episode 135 really it between then and the start of the Shippuden stuff?
Yes.
OK so ep 216-220 was literally just teaser to things like the alien clans
J’ai beaucoup aimé les fillers, mon préféré était l’arc avec Anko car Anko est mon personnage préféré !
I just made it to the long filler list. First time watcher and I wanted to see if anything would interest me. I might go back and check some out someday but right now I just want to watch the story continue
Is anything after Sasuke retrieval cannon? I remember it being like a season or 2 of filler
The kakashi face one has to be the best filler
😭 I watched all of these thinking when will this end I downloaded everything. I went from loving Naruto to hating it, they should of just taken a break
If not were a friend convincing me to just use a filler guide to skip I probably would've dropped the whole series halfway through these
I can't believe I thought these were canon at some point haha
The menma mentioned in one of the fillers is that the same menma in one of the movies?
I've always knew that after Sasuke left nothing happened till shippuden.
Wish Yakumo Kurama came back, she seemed cool
Thank Heavens my Family hadn't had cable i mrhe early 2010's or else i would've watched the rest of the Naruto filler. ( I stopped in the Kiba, Hinata and Naruto mission filler)
thank you ❤❤🎉😅
The lesson from this is that Naruto should never escort anyone.
1:25
THE HIDDEN STAR VILLAGE IS FILLER?
aint no way bruh,i swore it was canon
Bro same even i didn't know fillers
They were all awesome
Wait, kabuto and team 7 trying to leave the dead forest wasn't filler?
The bikochu beetle arc pissed me off. I didn’t realize it was filler, unlike most other filler arcs they make it seem like it’s actually important, and then they fight over this beetle, get it, and Naruto ruins it all by farting. You shittin me
