Eiichiro Oda's work, One Piece, is very famous and known for being an anime adaptation that has surpassed the 1000 episode mark and does not seem to be close to its end. With so many episodes, it is normal for fans to be lost between canonical and filler episodes, as well as which ones to watch to have a good experience. Today we will help you understand what all the filler episodes of One Piece are!
More than that, our intention with this list is to clarify which, among all the filler episodes of One Piece, you need to watch and which are not so necessary. Not all fans have the time or desire to follow side stories. This list is for you who don't want to miss anything from the canonical plot! Come on, sailor?
Are all the filler episodes of One Piece worth watching?
The quick answer is: no! Like all shounen, One Piece also has its list of fillers, but they are very few compared to the totality of the work. The production of the anime chose to give a slower adaptation to the work, which allowed the manga to advance without interfering with the rhythm of the anime most of the time.
Although few, it's not necessary to watch every filler episode of One Piece, as most of them don't feature anything special or relevant to the main plot. Most of the time we see more clumsy adventures of the Straw Hat Gang, which can be fun if you have the time and patience. But if you are looking for practicality, it is not extremely necessary to check them all to have a good final experience.
What are the most relevant filler episodes in One Piece?
Of all the One Piece filler episodes, the most relevant are:
- 102
- 131 e 135
- 1029
In episode 102, Luffy, Chopper and Zoro find amazing underground ruins after - as usual - after getting lost along the way they were going. The adventure comes as we discover along with the trio everything the ruins hold and where they will lead them!
Episode 131 brings the Straw Hat Gang to a deserted island, where they stay for a while and manage to: pick fruit for supplies, Nami gets her dream paper to draw her world map and Sanji is willing to help a Navy trainee cook to improve his cooking. As usual, the crew manages to escape before the Navy finds them.
135 features a flashback to Zoro's travels, long before he met Luffy at the beginning of the book and the moment he gained his followers through his unrivaled skills as a swordsman. Zoro was already well known and feared as a pirate hunter before he joined the Straw Hat Gang!
To celebrate the release of the movie Red, the anime introduced episode 1029, which takes us back in time through one of Uta's memories. In this sort of flashback, we see Luffy as a child and finally discover how he met Shanks and Uta, his daughter, for the first time.
