The important part is the conversation with Hinata.This episode is mostly filler & recap, although is marked as "mostly canon".Although Episodes 53 & 57 are marked as "mostly filler", they are important to the plot. Skip Episodes 102-106 (Netflix S4 E22-E26) - Land of Tea Escort Mission Arc.Optional - Filler Episode 101 (Netflix S4-E21) - Gotta See! Gotta Know! Kakashi-Sensei's True Face! This is a fun episode to watch.Watch Episodes 60-96 - Konoha Crush Arc & The Search For Tsunade.The beginning of the episode introduces the original Ino–Shika–Chō Formation, that is the parents of Ino, Shikamaru & Chouji, but nothing important is shown.Watch between 6:00 and 13:50 minutes, you can skip the rest. All of these episodes are extra missions Naruto takes as a substitute member for other teams and is mostly comedic relief.Skip Episodes 142-219 (Netflix S6-E7 to S9-E7) and see my notes below.Otherwise, if you want to skip them, all you need to know is Spoiler: Sakura asks Tsunade to train her in Medical Ninjutsu.Watching these filler episodes gives you a better continuation of the story.Optional Filler Episodes 136 to 141 (Netflix S6: E1-E6) - Land of Rice Fields Investigation Mission Arc.Watch Episodes 107-135 (Netflix S5) - Recovery Mission Arc.This filler creates many inconsistencies with the main plot. I recommend skipping them as they are average at best.
#12 MINUTES HINTS NO SPOILERS SERIES#
Optional Filler Episodes 152-157 (Netflix S6: E17-E22) - The Kurosuki Family Removal Mission Arc, is not a bad arc, but not great either.Below are some of the best Filler Arcs from this batch, although average in quality.You won't miss anything important if you decide to skip them.Įven if you are really interested, it will be better to leave them until the end of the whole series (Including Shippuden) and come back to watch them, as the pace slows down a lot and has an episodic feel with a villain of the week. It shows one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Optional Filler Episodes 169-173 (Netflix S7: E9-E13) - Kaima Capture Mission.The arc is also known as "The Curry of Life Arc". Episode 220 (Netflix S9-E8), you should only watch from 12:15 to the end.Optional Filler Episodes 178-183 (Netflix S7: E18-E23) - Star Guard Mission.This shows Anko's relationship with Orochimaru as an apprentice. Before that is just the ending of the filler arc.

Subs are always best, the dubs censor some of the violence. Regarding the voice quality, the dubs are ok and convenient, as they let you focus on the action rather than subtitles. Two people can look at the same thing and come up with completely different conclusions, so I'll just give you my part of the insights I have while watching this series.

So countries are not really interested in stopping the fighting at all, barely minimizing it so it does not get out of hand. (Sounds familiar? I'm sure any relation with reality is mere coincidence, right?). There are smaller countries too and other ninja villages that take part in the story that is also affected by this economy of war.People born into these villages are trained as a ninja from an early age and when they graduate, around 13 years of age, they are sent on missions where they risk their lives and is killed or be killed.In the end, ninja keeps on fighting because they want to protect their friends or because they already lost them and want revenge.
