Boruto filler FAQ

How many filler episodes are in Boruto?

Boruto has 208 filler episodes out of 293 (71%). Another 4 episodes are mixed (manga plus other adapted or original material). Skipping the filler saves about 80 hours.

Which Boruto episodes are filler?

The filler episodes are 2-17, 25-38, 40-52, 60, 67-92, 96-105, 112-147, 152-156, 158-180, 190-191, 209, 221-281.

How long does it take to watch Boruto without filler?

About 33 hours, compared with about 112 hours for all 293 episodes (at 23 minutes per episode).

Why does Boruto have so much filler?

The manga comes out once a month, so the weekly anime ran out of story often. The studio filled the gaps with original arcs, which is why most episodes are anime-only.

Is Boruto worth watching without filler?

If you only want the main story, yes: the manga-based and anime canon episodes add up to well under half of the series. Many fans also keep a few anime-only arcs, like Time Slip.

How we label episodes, and our sources

Our working labels combine Fandom chapter mappings, Wikipedia episode information and cited reviews. Two anime-original checks support a filler label unless a review identifies adapted material. Mixed means a reviewed combination of manga and other material, not simply a disagreement between sources. Official novel adaptations are anime canon. Missing or conflicting evidence is marked Needs review and stays in the watch order. These labels can change as evidence improves. Arc verdicts and picks are our opinions.

We combine episode facts, normalize numbering and add our own classifications. Adapted episode data and tables are shared under CC BY-SA 4.0. See credits and modifications.

Reviewed episode labels

Episode 1: Only the short cold open adapts chapter 1; the rest starts the anime-original Academy story. Chapter 1 itself is adapted later in episode 53. Source 1 Source 2 Source 3
Episode 18: Includes the Hokage inauguration bonus-manga adaptation alongside an anime-original family story. Source 1
Episode 60: No chapters listed. Chapters 4 and 5 go from the first round straight to the disqualification and the attack, so the Sarada vs Araya and Mitsuki vs Shinki matches are anime-only. Source 1 Source 2 Source 3 Source 4
Episode 106: Combines Naruto chapter 700 with the Steam Ninja Scrolls novel adaptation. Source 1
Episode 157: Lists chapter 11, but most of the episode is an anime-original Amegakure mission for Sasuke and Sai; only the report about an outside party comes from the manga. Source 1 Source 2 Source 3
