If you are an anime fan, you would already know that One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach are collectively known as the "Big 3" of the Shonen anime genre. Although these three anime series have captured the hearts of many viewers and tackled several unique subjects and themes, they are also known to include a significant number of filler episodes. These filler episodes are often criticized by fans for being disconnected from the main story and how they hinder the flow of the plot. Speaking of Bleach, it's the perfect time to start this anime series, as it has been revived with the release of the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War anime after a long hiatus. And for those who want to binge-watch this anime, we've compiled a Bleach filler list to include all the filler episodes that you can skip without missing any major storylines. And you'll need this, because Bleach has tons of fillers that you should know about.
Bleach Fillers to Skip & Fillers worth watching!
Bleach depicts the life of Ichigo Kurosaki, a high school student with a supernatural ability to sense spirits. Everything goes smoothly for him, until one day he needs to save his beloved family from a hollow (corrupt spirits). As a result, Ichigo borrows the "Soul Reaper" powers from Rukia Kuchiki (Soul Reaper from a place called Soul Society) and sets out to eradicate all the deadly hollows and save the world.
Bleach (2004 – 2012) had a whopping 366 episodes in total and includes a hefty 163 filler episodes. As a result, almost 45% of the anime is nothing but filled with non-canon episodes whose story is unrelated to the manga. Bleach has a gigantic amount of fillers, much like we saw in our Naruto fillers and Naruto Shippuden fillers lists. And it also has many filler arcs similar to our One Piece filler arcs guide. While we've included all the Bleach filler episodes you might enjoy, the decision to watch or skip them is yours.
Note: Our list of bleaching fillers only contains sections that are 100% fillers. The Bleach anime also contains a significant number of mixed canon episodes, so it's up to you if you want to skip those as well.
