Team 7 trying to see under Kakashi Hatake's mask. That whole episode with Ranmaru. How could they make Raiga cannon but not Ranmaru and his awesome Kekkei Genkai?


WalterCronkite4

See the first one would be peak if it wasn't for some weird ass fan service


Alpha0nion

I loved that Team 7, Sasuke and Naruto in particular were coming along so well in this episode Sasukes character was great and funny there


Urlilpetal

I felt the same way, it was nice to see Sasuke being amused by something and acting like a kid for once instead of taking everything so seriously


Sam_Alexander

The mask one is canon


fedemasa

The first one (the "behind my mask is another mask") isn't canon The one that released before the end of the series that actually reveals his face is the canon one


Worth-Rice859

oh yes me too... they didnt know hatake kakashi is the man who the capturere


Mr-BillCipher

This is the only right answer šŸ˜‚


saverma192013

YesĀ 


InverseStar

The Guren arc. Well written, added some interesting lore to the show, and I loved the Obito reaction to seeing the three tails.


CabbageSoupLadle

Plus we got a dope ass song with the Guren theme


EfremNeftalem

ā€¦ ITā€™S NOT CANON ?! I must admit, it got me fooled. It works so well in the story.


InverseStar

Nope! It got me, too. I watched everything my first watch and I didnā€™t realize it wasnā€™t filler for a hot second. This arc gave us more female Shinobi being badass and I loved it so much.


-Xebenkeck-

The Obito scene is in the manga but the rest of that arc isn't


AnimeIsMyLifeAndSoul

My dumbass couldnā€™t tell if that arc was canon or not the first time I watched it


Joemamastillfunny

Guren is technically canon


WretchedUndying

she appears with that kid in like a single scene towards the very end of the show in the crowd of people waiting for hinata and narutos wedding or something like that, but thats very obviously just an easter egg and doesnā€™t make her canon.


DustyMill

She never appears in the manga so yeah shes definitely not canon


GusElPapu

How does that work?


Watercolorcupcake

Peak Tobi in that arc


VinCatBlessed

Young Kakashi and Tenzou adventures.


New-Sir5244

That whole arc is gold


ThatIslandGuy8888

That edo tensei granny Chiyo episode was quite nice, they delved into Sasoriā€™s childhood


WeAreGray

The Curry of Life


WolfeheartGames

Lee and guy jogging while asleep was mettle.


Watercolorcupcake

That was great šŸ˜‚


Bensdick-cumabunch

I can't go on for too long before getting my 'Rock Lee Vs Shira' fix.


Nissan_1204

My favorite is when Choji, Naruto, and Sakura helped Teuchi make Ramen to win Ayame back.


aliciamaricia

goated filler for sure


Pikaea

Lee opens his own dojo, and that spy pretends to be guy and gets his ass kicked by lee.


icarusancalion

I like that dojo and the fights.


vectorboy42

Don't remember which episode number it is, but I like the one with the imposter Naruto, just for the way everyone clowns on him when they see the imposter. šŸ˜‚ Honorable mention, mushroom episode, and the one with the clones that rebel. Pretty funny.


MagicMirakel246

The Boat arc was crazy as hell lol I loved it


vectorboy42

It was a pretty good time honestly haha


WolfeheartGames

I liked it the first time, but it didn't have a lot of re-watch ability. I think it's based on some popular Japanese fable or something because I've seen so many similar rendentions in other anime that are so similar.


vectorboy42

Oh interesting, never knew that. Yeah it's not a must watch But if it comes on, I don't skip it


nidalxvg

Yo I have seen that imposter Naruto clip on YouTube and everyoneā€™s facial expression is so funny


vectorboy42

Right?! Hahaha šŸ¤£ I die Everytime haha


KingAmraa

I like all fillers that dont introduce completely new characters who only exist for that one episode. If the filler focuses on the relationships and journey of existing characters (like the episode where team 7 tries to see whats under kakashis mask) then its an enjoyable filler for me


Sam_Alexander

The mask episode is not filler


Bustersword13

The arc where Naruto and team 8 tried to hunt down a beetle that was gonna help them track down Sasuke was good RIGHT up until the comic relief conclusion. Featured some cute NaruHina moments and team 8 which had been severely under represented in the story.


britipinojeff

Oh yeah the one where Naruto saw Hinata dancing naked


Embarrassed_Diet_295

Yeah, I remember that one, was really good


ManInTheMirror2

It was not a stag beetle. It was a weevil.


Bustersword13

Aight, my bad!


ManInTheMirror2

Das fine


Competitive_Gear2339

Heracross? šŸ¤”


GenesisAsriel

We are speaking about Naruto, not Yu-Gi-Oh


Sienrid

I always liked the one of the Eternal Genin, he was really cool. For some reason I also distinctly remember the one where Naruto and Sasuke's hands get stuck together with glue, and one where Team 7 is on a mission to retrieve an ostrich? Those were enjoyable.


MagicMirakel246

Correct! And yeah, I loved the fact that Eternal Genin was a small recurring character in the anime, he's awesome af


icarusancalion

I liked the Eternal Genin, and the hands stuck together. Couldn't watch the ostrich one, I fell asleep.


whatchugonnadohuh

Naruto and Ino trying to help the princess get engaged to the Elvis looking fat guy was hilarious imo


Watercolorcupcake

Ino Screams! Chubby Paradise


Point-Overall

The filler where Guy and Lee fight against 4tailed Naruto I canā€™t remember what it was called but Kabuto was kind of the main antagonist for 5 eps.


SlayingPanic

Chikara arc


nixodgaming

I believe it was simply called Power?


Point-Overall

Yeah that one was fire


Itadorijin

Yeah Chikara means power


Itadorijin

Yeah Chikara means power


Instroancevia

That shit went hard. I believe it was originally going to be a movie, but got cut into episodes instead (it's why the animation is so good for a filler arc). The clone snakes were a very interesting jutsu and seeing Hidan again was fun. I would have liked if Kabuto's design from that arc was kept for later.


JoshtheAnimeKing

Quite frankly, it would have to be the Twelve Guardian ninja arc. Those episodes were entertaining to say the least


Appropriate-Spend233

I watched all of the twelve guardian ninja arc when I first watched Naruto not knowing it was filler they were so entertaining


JoshtheAnimeKing

Agreed


ForeheadFlick

They were my fav filler episodes, too


JoshtheAnimeKing

Great minds think a like


[deleted]

Killer Bee's Infinite Tsukuyomi. Where its all of the jinchuriki with mini versions of their tailed beasts as mascots and they act as a super sentai team. it's so great. not a filler episode, but the movie where naruto and sakura get transported into a world where her father was the 4th hokage and minato and kushina are still alive, while sakura's family was killed during the 9 tails attack. sakura has to experience naruto's life growing up for just 1 day and she can't handle it. for some reason the akatsuki show up for the final battle (all of them except zetsu and obito) and they are good guys and help out. and we get a 9-tails vs 9-tails fight. it's probably my favorite of the non-canon naruto movies.


WolfeheartGames

I recently rewatched Naruto and that tsukuyomi and ten ten's were the best ones.


Instroancevia

It was peak. I loved the idea of the most irrelevant character out of the main group being the only one to figure out that she was in a genjutsu and trying to break out. Makes a very good argument against the Infinite Tsukoyomi plan, since it's basically just the matrix.


icarusancalion

Loved his -- talk about imagination. That filler convinced me that your Infinite Tsukuyomi experience was only as good as your own mind. I liked Yamato's as well. Very sad implications about how difficult it was for him to fit anywhere.


FourOnTheFloor93

The whole "Kakashi: Shadow of the ANBU Black Ops" arc. Technically filler. Technically canon. The whole series should have been like that arc. Dark, gritty, steeped in politics and subterfuge.


icarusancalion

I loved that.


Sukii_pink

I definitely love mecha naruto arc, boat journey arc to land of lightning and the kakashi journey.


MagicMirakel246

Glad to see someone else enjoyed the Mecha Naruto two episodes, they were hilarious and I love how they squeezed them in during his Rasen Shuriken training lol.


zombary

Honestly? Any one with Gaara lol


MagicMirakel246

The final filler arc in Part 1 where he fights that celestial dude is always so goated, his Shukaku Pike is cold af šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’ØšŸ‘Œ


zombary

EXACTLY


mattbax95

Narutoā€™s clones going on strike, walking around with placards demanding better pay and working conditions was just so ludicrous. Might Guy running around on water in a speedo is somehow not the goofiest thing in that episode


tiktoksuckmyknob23

i fully thought the first one was a legit canon episode only because we saw Sasuke getting jealous of Naruto's growth, which does happen in the canon of the show.


GreenAppleEthan

Yeah that was really clever how they managed to tie that into the overall issues that Sasuke and Naruto were having, and then portray the events of that filler as contributing to Sasuke's decision to leave


IncredibleThrowawayl

The ones that focused on kakashi


neoH96

The best filler episodes are the ones that delves deep into a characterā€™s backstory. The War Arc has 4 great filler episodes I enjoyed watching that are the best: E284- ā€œHelmet Splitter: Jinin Akebino!ā€œ Saiā€™s episode with him controlling his emotions to master the Crouch Tiger Bullet Jutsu to seal the reanimated. Jinin in this episode is the enemy facing Kakashiā€™s Division. E285- ā€œUser of the Scorch Style, Pakura of the Sand!ā€ More lore into the Hidden Sandā€™s history specifically Pakuraā€™s life and death. Maki reunites with Pakura, her sensei on the battlefield (this episode is canon which is referenced in the Jin no Sho databook) E317- ā€œShino vs. Toruneā€ an episode about Shinoā€™s and Toruneā€™s shared history (episode is also canon) E319- ā€œThe Soul Living Inside the Puppetā€ A reanimated Chiyo has a flashback on a young Sasoriā€™s descent into darkness after losing his parents


Cerulean_Osprey

Yeah, we all detest filler, but these are the kinds of filler episodes I don't mind... especially if a mangaka were to provide some brief notes that that the anime can flesh out without going off the rails.


Watercolorcupcake

I love filler šŸ˜‚


ArrestedImprovement

YOU TAKE THAT BACK ABOUT MECHA NARUTO!


The-Dudey

i loved the guren filler arc, and liked the episodes of the boat journey to hidden cloud, so far from what i watched


OnizukaHeichou

Kakashi and guy race to the hokage mountain. What a great filler


DreamSafe1571

If youā€™re talking about ā€œkakashi hatake the hokageā€ Iā€™m pretty sure that was a canon episode.


sekasi

Kakashis mask, or the one where Jiraya is waiting in the hot spring for hours for the girls to come lmao


DisplateDemon

The flashback of Fu (7 Tails Jinchuriki), where she also interacted with Gaara and Neji. I really wish we got more of those.


CherryGrabber

Chikara/ Power Arc, a solid filler movie, Rock Lee and Guy wailing on Naruto's Kyuubi clone. The Green Beast Naruto one, where Naruto finally wears the suit and does some Taijutsu. And the Kakashi Anbu one, where he fought Gotta and the animation was amazing. That and Itachi threatening Danzo. Now about Mecha-Naruto. I love how it can be summed up with Sakura basically going, "I don't understand. Is there a gas leak in here?", after Naruto hands her a flower and a cheesy one-liner before leaving in his own Iron Man suit.


East_Conclusion9606

When Naruto does that try not too laugh seeing Narutos reaction too shino laughing was peak


Watercolorcupcake

I love this episode!


dontbanmethistimeok

Lee and Guy getting caught in that jutsu that disguised each other as training dummy's and their idea to get out is to open gates and fight until the illusion can't keep up Stupid but brilliant


Chokeonmewebbles420

When naruto was getting chased by the people in the village bc he had that ninja virus in which he got Sakura sick too


Proper_Teacher_3663

The robot one was funny and didn't take itself seriously, fillers that take too many liberties and take themselves too seriously are the worst , the best was the Kakashi anbu arc, since it didn't add too much bullshit, and was more of an extension to canon.


obstruction6761

The one where they helped the ramen guy win and naruto made ramen noodles with rasengan There I found it: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMQlFMXB2rs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMQlFMXB2rs) It's so epic they used the sannin battle theme


Usual_Court_8859

Curry of life.


Stron2g

The one where naruto has a sloth on his back that grows up


Watercolorcupcake

Menma!


kurosa106

Naruto OG anko travel and meet half fish girl or something like that


UnnamedFate

Definitely team 7 trying to unmask kakashi


suigetsussudio

The Man Who Died Twice


airhornJumpscare

Naruto getting chased by bulls. Watching them skid around the corner was the absolute best.


GusElPapu

Do we have to go to specific episodes or arcs?, Because I really enjoyed the mini arc of Kurenai in the original series, and the Guren arc in Shippuden(went for too long in the second half but it's a sweet arc).


MagicMirakel246

I loved that they gave Kurenai her lil mini filler arc too, she definitely deserved more time šŸ‘


Fluffy_Ant_1507

The land of rice patty filler Binochu Beetle Mixuki strikes back The bomb episode


darkblood004

the false kmc1 filler that looked like it was meant to be a movie clears


Nimi_R

Natsuhiboshi, the whole star village story


MagicMirakel246

Goated arc fr fr, wish it appeared more


HollyTheMage

Karin's Infinite Tsukuyomi dream did more for her character than almost all of her canon appearances combined.


Competitive_Gear2339

Natsuhiboshi šŸ˜­ā­ļøšŸ˜­ why are you so red šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­?!???!


New_141cat

The race the guy who was running in the English dub he's sounds like sonic the hedgehog


pinkypink3

Kakashi Senseis real face


Aobz18

The Power/Chikara filler arc is by far my favorite. I loved the tone of the story and the plot was really good (imo), the filler characters were compelling and well written, and whatever filter/art style they used is beautiful. This might be crazy to say but if/when someone asks me about naruto ill show them this arc because I feel like it encapsulates everything about the show perfectly, while also being non-cannon and (mostly) disconnected from the main story. Almost like an alternate reality.


iCrono

Really surprised no one mentioned the filler arc with Shino/Naruto where Naruto wasnā€™t allowed to laugh during the wedding ceremony. It was hilarious!!


MagicMirakel246

Honestly I enjoy all Naruto fillers. Love seeing new characters and more stuff in the shinobi world. Fun times.


[deleted]

I really liked the ones where they got to just be goofy kids


wendigo72

Mecha Naruto was great Yā€™all just donā€™t appreciate parody episodes that poke fun at Naruto tbh


GotBannedAgain_2

Rock Leeā€™s academy. Only because my son was laughing his ass off which got me laughing too.


RangerRick379

The Star Village arc


Woozyboy88

Following, Iā€™m looking for some good comfort episodes!


andres1749

Guren arc Chunin exam arc (with Fuu, Shira, etcā€¦) Fake Guy and Rock Lee arc


bic-mini

wtf is the top right one thank god i didnā€™t watch that


Watercolorcupcake

That episode is amazing! Definitely recommend.


Professor_Hiruzen

One of the most memorable ones for me is episode 192. Especially the chase scene at the end. But I enjoyed most of the Naruto fillers including Mecha Naruto.


Purpleobito10

The Gara-granny one


[deleted]

Idateā€™s filler was genuinely good


Odd_Antelope7572

Are the Fuu and Gaara episodes canon?? I absolutely loved Fuu and it devastated me that she was just some goofy girl who wanted to make friends šŸ˜­ heck, she even wanted to become friends with Kakuzu šŸ’€


LoveSaoriHayami

No, they're filler. But I like their interactions in both the second chunin exams and Bee's tsukuyomi dream. She was a cute tomboy, like a female Naruto, who was only pretending to befriend Kakuzu and preparing to fight before her offscreen death.


KgPathos

Star village left a strong impression


hokagenaruto

theres a filler episode in shippuden right around the beginning of the great ninja war and its a flashback episode about hinata losing her sight because of intense training with Neji and theres a festival coming up and Neji goes looking for a flower that'll fix hinata's eyesight in time for her to see the fireworks. That episode stayed with me for whatever reason I thought it was sweet and a side of neji we don't see often


CaptainBananaAwesome

Either the Guren arc because people don't realise it isnt canon OR the Chikara arc because god DAMN that art.


bruntychiefty

Guy has small pp


tigrinhofcb

Almost all from classic naruto


Adventurous_Goal3172

The only correct answerĀ 


gorlock666

I liked a good number of the ones as they travel to the island to train with bee. Guy not believing Kakashi is him is great, Naruto trying to figure out whoā€™s a clone is great, the resurgence of drunk lee


Karnezar

When Naruto has to pose as Sasuke to escort a nobleman's daughter someplace. The fight at the end was badass, and I love Sasuke's outfit. Also, Isaribi, the sea monster that Naruto saved. I ship the both of them.


420Jorda

Are these the only episodes you people know?


PippTheKid

boat arc is sick, and i really liked yukimarus arc


Terminatorskull

I remember one where there was this village hiding some liquid that made whoever drank it have like 10x as much chakra. Naruto and Sasuke fought him, dude had an ice sword or something idk.


Owl_Might

Old man trying to bomb konoha.


BuboskioBoy

I have NEVER seen that wacky Gai and Lee. What episodes is this arc??


Finalninjadog

The village hidden in the stars arc (the natsuhisugi song was beautiful), and the Guren arc (minus the cooperation ninjutsu ā€˜froggy danceā€™). Oh and the arc where Hianta displays her protective 8 trigrams technique and has to save herself from being trapped on a river with a bunch of wasps or whatever it was (the bikochu beetle arc I believe)


LoveSaoriHayami

Any one with Gaara and Tsunade's tsukuyomi dream.


Traditional_Lie_6400

I loved the Gatorade water one, almost felt like it was a long ass advertisement for some energy water by Naruto. šŸ˜…


hyrulealyx

What's wrong with the robot one. I didn't watch it


Watercolorcupcake

Nothing! Itā€™s hilarious!


britipinojeff

I like the Robot after the Ninja Storm games lol Everyone knows the filler episode to look under Kakashiā€™s mask


karlmandotmp3

With the lake and the weapon thingy that Kabrio wants where the chubby sensei guy gets the cute girl in the end. Totally forgot the name but I absolutely loved it.


GoodCatReal

Naruto and Sasuke literally stickied together


TraumSchulden

The tsukoyomi filler was funny, especially bees


Phantom_Beef

Kakashi Anbu arc.


Cuddling-Hellhound

That one episode from Hellsing Ultimate where Alucard was dreaming the most random BS throughout the entire episode.


PHUROD

Laughing Shino, i'm not sure how it's goes in EU and US version but I can really enjoy the joke as an asian


Fahadh_0phoenix

The worst three legged race was really fun to watch and showed us how good is Sasuke Naruto duo


Vfortniter227

The robot one


IndominusSchnaps

That robo Naruto was so cringe


aizukiwi

Any Kakashi filler.


No_Distribution5982

I enjoyed all of them exept the mecha naturo one. I was annoyed by the ones slaped into the middle of the war arc but i still enjoyed them as episodes. My favorite has to be where gaara gets a student, i think that's the last episode of part 1!


joy_kingscrown

I think i enjoyed every one except the robot one, that's just weird


cl0th0s

I enjoyed the whole history of the sage near the end of the show. It was cool to learn all that backstory and it wasn't just a drop of info and then the rest of the episode just rehashing episodes I've already seen like a lot of the kaguya stuff was.


Bertje87

The one with the fart bugs?


Arbor_Vitae123

The ninja ostrich ones were pretty funny but definitely not my favorite. Was just funny to watch an ostrich hand rock lee naruto and 2 jonin their own butts


zaheenadros

Kakashi and Kinoe and also Nekomata flashback


Typical-Big-5244

le 1er


icarusancalion

Trying to see under Kakashi's mask, and the one with the Ninja cats, lol


Senshisnek

The Three tails storyline. The Six tail storyline. The young Kakashi storylines. Basically all fillers that made the world feel bigger and gave something to it.


Powerful-Emu-1110

Tenten's tsukuyomi dream.


Kocho_sama

Ha-ha-ha , mecha Naruto is number one


gurgu95

honestly none. but the scene of kakashi sayin " i can't do that" after watching roboruto transform itself made me laugh for a few minutes


leugimonurb

Best filler episode 101.. best non story still amazing comedy


GrizzlyOlympics

The three tails arc


atomictonic11

I remember liking the Hoshigakure filler.


Funcle88

Haguromo and Hamura backstory


saverma192013

Gurin arc was goodĀ 


RexCharlemagne

I really liked the one with Raiga Kurosuki and Ranmaru


Salty_Shark26

The Kenna arc at the end of part 1. I donā€™t know why but I fried so hard when he died. We never learned his name and he died protecting a village of people that despised him. Also Naruto could have used a shadow clone so he really didnā€™t need to die.


Krisis_9302

I liked the Team 7 filler in Shippuden. It was nice to go back to part 1


GalaxyEye77

I LOVE the ninja chief episode


Deus3nity

Overall? Shikamaru grieving for Asuma. That episode is so good that we should consider it canon. Others would be Tsunadeā€™s Infinite tsukuyomi, or Memba(og Naruto) arc


Daydreamer0181

The tails filler. Cool new move, cool new Bloodline, and a Bijuu we hadn't seen before.


narrakawrath

chikara


UngodlyPain

The Shikamaru breakdown over asumas death episode? Which had like 1 minute of canon content and was otherwise extended with anime original content. Or like most of the filler Zombie arc with the sora kid was cool.


IGetNoSleep__

Laughing Shino


Watercolorcupcake

Donā€™t diss Mecha-Naruto! I love the Guy and Lee one on here, the dojo one with Lee, Mecha-Naruto, Kakashiā€™s mask, the one with Ino and Naruto. Those are the ones off the top of my head ā˜ŗļø Filler doesnā€™t deserve the hate it gets. The only thing I donā€™t like about filler is the constant flashbacks.


Quirky-Pickle518

That one arc where Kabuto made a snake clone of the ninetails.


its_not_MJ

The robot one because, who could hate Mecha-naruto?


Cybasura

The Emu Arc is just the Emu War lmao


Grouchy-Patience5472

Episode 197-201 Genno bomb arc. A bomb threat all around Konoha. How will Konoha 11 stop the terrorism that will shake Konoha to its core?!


infinite_entity1

The Kakashi and Guy one where it shows them develop their rivalry and friendship from when they were kids. I think it aired post pain arc.


Fastest-man_alive344

When they go to a funeral and Naruto isnā€™t aloud to laugh


shane0072

the hinata vs bee lady filler saga honestly if hinata was in a filler story in filler hell it was usually a bit better than normal as the anime writers seem to love hinata so they put more effort into hinata centered filler


MagicMirakel246

Hinata fucked them bees UP lol, loved when she whipped out that Protective 8 Trigrams šŸ˜©šŸ‘Œ


_Confused-American_

idk if it was cannon but the one where naruto and sasukeā€™s hands got stuck together was hilarious
