Ok guys, so as we know, ever since the first Extension To The War arc episode, there has been tons of fillers. But with some quick, short and easy to understand math, you'll realize how much more ridiculous this is starting to become. Bear with me! Hopefully I don't make you feel like you're in a classroom, because summer does not include being in school :D. Enjoy!

•••••

Alright, so the first ETTW arc filler episode started at E279. The latest episode, E320, is also a filler. The math I'm about to do will cover the past 41 episodes. Pretty much, there have been 9 non-filler episodes

E182-E183, E296-E302

And 32 filler episodes

E279-281, E284-295, E303-E320 (and possibly still counting)

To see how much percent of each there is:
9 / 41=about 0.22 (non filler)
32 / 41=about 0.78 (filler)

Change the decimals into percentages and about 22% of these episodes have been real episodes and a whopping 78% have been fillers. Now on average, if we were to keep this pace up for the next 41 episodes:

41 / 9= 4.5 -> 5
9 / 9=1

For every 1 non filler episode, there would be 5 filler episodes. This doesn't necessarily have to follow this though, just as long as the n / d = .2
Like if it were to be for every 2 non filler episodes, there would be 10 filler episodes because 2 / 10 = .2 or an easy way to to this is just that whatever you multiply n (1) by you would also multiply d (5) by the same number.

Thanks for reading! I tried to keep this short and sweet ("Keep it simple, stupid") so it'd be easy for you guys to understand and so I wouldn't bore you to death :D. Hopefully this simple math gave you some interesting information on these fillers and non fillers. If you see any errors with my math, please notify me (I have a good feeling I did since I made this thread almost right after I woke up TBH XD). Otherwise leave a comment below on your thoughts about this (negative or positive, it doesn't matter) just so long as it's not inappropriate or rude in any sort of way.

Do it in calculus way, then I'll understand...
Simple Maths is old news and just childish... XD

I could do it the "calculus" way, but I wanted to keep it as simple as possible (like I said in the thread, "Keep it simple, stupid") because based off my experiences on the Base, I have witnessed many who's intelligence level is equivalent to that of a 4th Grader XD

So, this is just a more intelligent way of saying Naruto is full of fillers?

You claim to have computed a ratio between canon (non-filler) and filler episodes, but in doing so you actually computed a ratio between the total episodes and the canon episodes without any regard to the filler.

What you did is almost correct, in a way, but it needs to be transposed.
Your ratios were provided as such:
Total / Canon = 41 / 9 = ~4.5555555556 ~ 5
Canon / Canon = 9 / 9 = 1 <--- This means nothing. It is dimensionless (i.e. unitless).

According to your "five-to-one" statement, you're essentially saying this:
(Total / Canon) / (Canon / Canon) = (Filler / Canon)
We know for certain that this is far from correct. (Total/Canon)/(1) does not equal Filler/Canon.

Here's the correct ratio:

Filler / Canon = 32 / 9 = ~3.5555555556

Hence, this implies that for every two canon episodes, there would be seven filler episodes, going by your numbers and the proposed "trend."



Also, arithmetic is hardly math. THIS (Fourier transform from partial differential equations) is math:



EDIT:
I see what you're trying to demonstrate, but I hardly think that we're going to follow this pattern as you suggest. Once the action with Madara begins, I imagine that it would be difficult to find an easy transition back into fillers again.
