About this filler list

TV · 2007 · complete. Filler and recap flags come from MyAnimeList’s episode list, which AnimeSparks refreshes regularly.

Filler episodes tell stories that aren’t in the source material, usually because the anime caught up with the manga. Recaps summarise earlier episodes. Skipping both is the fastest way through the main story.
