Boruto filler list: All Boruto episodes to skip
Oh Boru-no, you don’t need to watch these.
Having plenty of ninja-related adventures while being a school student is something that should spell for total anime success — and Boruto proves that to be true.
Working from the existing Naruto series, Boruto sees the prodigal son following in his father’s footsteps, training to become the most powerful ninja of them all.
This being anime means that the journey is not always a straightforward one, with Boruto running head-first into his own set of problems.
Airing its first episodes in 2017, Boruto has quickly gained the levels of popularity that its predecessor once held. What’s better is that there are even more episodes to come.
While we wait for the next instalment, there are plenty of episodes to get stuck into… but which are worth the watch? Here’s the full filler list of Boruto must-miss episodes, alongside the must-watch episodes.

Boruto filler list: Which episodes can be skipped?
Like most long-standing anime series, not every episode is a corker. Some don’t offer up any new information, while others are flat-out recaps of things we’ve seen before.
Stop Boruto from becoming Bore-uto by skipping out the following filler arcs:
- Episodes 48-50: the Byakuya Gang Arc
- Episodes 67-69: the Cho-Cho Arc
- Episodes 231-232: the Great Sea Battle of Kirigakure Arc
- Episodes 261-273: the Kawaki & Himawari Academy Arc
By skipping the mentioned arcs out, fans will still be ready and prepped to enjoy the next instalment of episodes expected some time in 2024.
