Naruto Filler List, Guide to All Episodes to Skip

Naruto has a total of 220 episodes divided into 9 seasons, of which 89 are filler episodes, equivalent to 41% of the anime. The canon episodes are 131, so we conclude that only half of the anime was adapted from the manga, a discouraging percentage for those who want to start watching the series, since the sequel also has a similar amount of fillers.

The best way to watch Naruto is to skip all the filler episodes. By doing this, we save 1,780 minutes, which is equivalent to 30 hours—valuable time that we can use to finish watching the anime faster and continue with the sequel.

Naruto Filler Episodes to Skip

The best website or app to watch Naruto Classic is Netflix, since it has all the episodes dubbed and subtitled, and is available in the United States, Canada, and India. Other platforms include Prime Video for the US, Canada, India, and the UK; Crunchyroll for the US, Canada and the UK. On Pluto TV, Tubi TV, Roku Channel, or Peacock, you can watch it for free in the US.

Naruto Filler Episodes To Skip

After choosing where to watch the anime, we just have to follow the list and guide, where the episodes will be marked by type: whether filler, canon, or mixed. The latter will detail the exact minutes that you only have to watch. All of this is to make it easy to watch Naruto without filler. The marking colors of the episodes are:

FILLER

Filler episodes will be colored red. These were not adapted from the manga, so they are not necessary to watch and are best skipped.

MIXED

Mixed episodes will be colored blue. These were only partially adapted from the manga, so we only watch the specified minutes.

CANON

The canon episodes will be black (white if you have dark mode activated). These were adapted from the manga, so you have to watch them.

SPECIAL

The movies and OVAs will be colored green, located according to their chronology. If you want to go deeper into the order, head to the article 'How to Watch Naruto in Order'
