The canon episodes are 304, which means that only half of the anime was adapted from the manga, similar to 'Naruto'. This discourages people from wanting to watch the entire series, including its sequel 'Boruto'.

The best way to watch Naruto Shippuden is to skip all the filler episodes. This approach saves 3,840 minutes, or 64 hours. Instead of spending 167 hours on the entire anime, avoiding the filler cuts the viewing time down to 103 hours.

Netflix is another good choice, but it's limited to Canada and India. Hulu provides the anime in both dubbed and subtitled versions, though it's only accessible in the US and Japan. Prime Video also has the series, but exclusively for Canada.

What Naruto Shippuden Filler Worth Watching?

Although the filler episodes do not add anything to the story and do not interfere with its plot, some are worth watching because they are entertaining. The best filler episodes are:

Episodes 54 to 71: These are not all fillers, as they include Naruto's wind training that did occur in the manga. They tell a little about Asuma's past when he was considered one of the Twelve Ninja Guardians.
Episodes 279 to 182, 284 to 295, and 303 to 320: These somewhat complement the Fourth Shinobi World War, integrating some villains who were not relevant after the Impure World Reincarnation activated by Kabuto.
Episodes 349 to 361: These focus on Kakashi Hatake's background in Anbu, while also exploring the backgrounds of others such as Yamato and Itachi Uchiha.

How many episodes and seasons does Naruto Shippuden have?

Naruto Shippuden has 500 episodes and was divided into 21 seasons. Its broadcast began on February 15, 2007, and ended on March 23, 2017, lasting 10 years, 1 month, and 8 days. The animation was in charge of Studio Pierrot and directed by Hayato Date.

How Many Filler Episodes are in Naruto Shippuden?

Naruto Shippuden has 196 filler episodes, which means that 39% of the anime was not adapted from the manga. The anime has 304 canon episodes, including the 24 mixed episodes (which contain both filler and canon parts). Thus, we can deduce that almost half of the anime is canon and the other half is filler.

What are the Filler Episodes in Naruto Shippuden?

Naruto Shippuden filler episodes are 57-70, 91-111, 144-151, 170, 171, 177, 182-196, 223-242, 257-260, 271, 279-281, 285-295, 303-320, 347-361, 376, 377, 389-390, 394-413, 416, 422, 423, 427, 428, 430-450, 460-461, 464-469 and 480-483. The mixed episodes are 54, 56, 71-72, 89-90, 112, 176, 178-181, 296, 324, 327-328, 330, 346, 362, 388, 415, 417, 426, 429 and 462; these are not considered 100% filler because they are part canon.

How to watch Naruto Shippuden without fillers?

Watching the anime without filler is a bit tedious because some parts of the canon story are combined with filler. That's why it's important to follow this list, which not only points out the filler episodes but also highlights the mixed episodes and the exact minute you need to watch.
