Naruto fillers that were decent enough for canon! (And helped character development)

I really love the Land of the Sea arc for expanding on Anko's backstory since I've always felt that needed more elaboration, but admittedly I don't care about the parts of the arc that didn't involve Anko at all.

I also like the Ultimate Weapon arc because you can't go wrong with giving the Sand sibs more screentime. I don't think the Konoha kids really needed to pay back the Sand sibs for their help during Sasuke incident, because them doing that was a way to pay back Konoha for invading their village... but whatever it was still nice to see. I guess its location in canon is weird because it's an arc about Shukaku being targeted, then there's the timeskip and right off the bat we have the Kazekage Rescue arc, so it's another story arc about Shukaku being targeted but ok.

To me the favourite one is definitely the Sanbi arc. Guren rocked with her crystal element. There were feels in the end. n.n

All these arc "Tsuchigumo Kinjutsu Arc"; "Three-Tails arc"; & other arc, etc
they are interesting worth watching.
I suspect these Arcs are part of Kishi story.
Especially, for Part 1, Kishi was involved.
But in Part 2 which included the title with "Shippuden", Kishi said he unable to get involved, as it take him a lot of time.
Then the manga could be delayed.

Do you notice that these current anime episode, i think Kishi had to step-in.
From the start, the Part 2 anime were not really good, as many avoid watching it.
The next episode could be the replay of start of Team 7, as mentioned in the current episode.

It's nice to see naruto owning people in the fillers.
Why aren't there Sasuke fillers.:eww:


There had at least 2 Sasuke fillers.
One is about a young girl was saved by Sasuke, and she love him, immediately.
The other is about Orochimaru men testing Sasuke power, and Naruto was trapped somewhere.

Lol, I totally remember that arc. That was the one about the bugs, right?

OT: Sasuke's Paw Encyclopedia will always be my favorite filler episode.

The Three-Tails arc mainly because there was character development for the K11 (although, I do recall that not all members of the K11 participated in the mission - correct me if I'm wrong).

LOL Dude, that Paw arc was like a definition of a "filler" episode... But yeah, it was pretty dumb/funny/cute seeing them with cat-ears "infiltrating" a "cat" fortress.


And I love your profile pick! Utakata was an awesome dude! HEIL FILLER! :snick:
