Like father Like Son. And if the ‘Naruto’ anime had its fair share of filler chapters at the time, the ‘Boruto’ series is not spared either. Of course, it must be said that the sequel is being much more moderate in terms of the amount of original filler that is entering the list, but that does not mean that it is a completely faithful adaptation of the manga.
Because being fair, the manga ‘Boruto: Naruto Next Generations‘ which currently illustrates mikio ikemoto and write your own Masashi Kishimoto It doesn’t have that much material to adapt. The series is published monthly and currently has 18 compiled volumes, but the anime has been in constant broadcast since 2017 and is already approaching 300 episodes.
So the ‘Boruto’ anime is a combination of chapters adapting the manga, chapters adapting the novels, filler chapters and also many episodes that are canon within the anime and important to the plot, so skipping them isn’t the best idea.
Of the 269 chapters that the anime has right now, only 32 are completely filler at all, but we also have only 63 episodes that are completely faithful to the manga. So watching ‘Boruto’ by sticking only to the original material is not as easy as with other series.
in this list we are going to point out the episodes that are canon of the anime and filler of the wholewhich would be the only ones that we recommend you skip completely so as not to miss anything relevant to the story of ‘Boruto’.
