All episodes are canon

Let’s just say every anime original arc is canon

The site is wrong. Here is the author and illustrator confirming its cannon

>The thing is, there's filler episodes in the Anime continuity as well apparently...

That's because anime filler websites are TRASH. For some reason they decide episodes are filler with no basis whatsoever, they just mark them as such. There's no objective defined rules to count something as filler or canon, they offer no such thing.

The entire anime is canon, it has its own continuity, the manga has its own continuity too. The anime isn't a mess, trash fanpages like those just like to create a problem where there wasn't one to being with, classic western move.

ALL and EVERY episode in the Boruto anime is canon.

Weather you take it as "extended canon" for the manga, the manga as a "reader's digest" of the anime or manga and anime having separated continuities, it doesn't matter.

Not that I can think of.

There are a handful of episodes that you COULD fit into canon events without affecting the main story such as what happened with the 7 tails, or the long line of Tsukoyomi dreams.

Nope. Anything not written by Kishimoto isn't canon. I recommend the manga because it gets to the point and doesn't drag. It also has scenes and character moments that the anime omits.

Their is like a few anime canon episodes but no canon anime only arcs iirc

No, filler arcs/episodes are by definition non-canon.

The Kakashi mask one is canon in my heart

Simply put, anime canon eps are based on light novels (which are hard to find and not even translated) so it is important :)

The anime-canon episodes just focus on characterization and world-building where the manga might not have had enough time to dwell on. So if you want something of a more fleshed-out world with characters that undergoe personal growth, I'd recommend watching both anime-canon and manga-canon episodes.

Yes, they are important, watch them

you will not know the girl from latest manga chapter if you only watch manga adaptation. Anime-only canon mostly about Sumire development.

Manga Canon just straighforward to the stories where anime is buildup make characterization and world building and that kinda Good i think because this maim concern in Naruto series especially shippuden like how side character get more development in filler but when manga Canon happen they gone but in Boruto they integrated anime Canon as development of character and make small detail of anime Canon whether it was character development or so when manga Canon adapted

Only manga is canon

Anime and Manga are their own thing with different continuities that share the same events at some point.

What the other guy said. Canon is a made up thing by the fanbase. That being said, when including filler or even “canon” episodes of anime there are often contradictions between that and the manga or even that and just other episodes, so most people have accepted manga to be the “official canon” as its typically the original source.

Onoki hasn't been mentioned in the manga so until proven otherwise you can just assume he's dead like they showed in the anime.

Between the anime and the manga there are plenty of differences that conflict with the other one. In the anime Sumire took the Chuunin exams. In the manga Sumire did not. The anime is canon to the anime. The manga is canon to the manga.

Do you remember Ninja Turtles? Depending if you watched the cartoon, read the comic, or watch the movie, Splinter started out as either a human or a rat.

Boruto is not the first or last anime that goes a different way from its manga.

There is no such thing as some kind of Grand Master Canon that exists outside of both of them that grants one or the other work more "magic powers" or whatever. People get so religious about this stuff it's stupid.

All of anime is cannon is just that manga doesn't have enough time to draw this chapters thats why this is like this but dont worry every jutsu they learn in this kinds of ep they use then on other ep too

There isn't any actual filers in boruto

There is no such thing as "anime canon". It is called filler. None of them have been confirmed canon and often heavily contradict the actual source material aka the Manga.

The Mecha-Naruto is absolute canon

you can find it on animefillerlist.

i made a list of canon episodes here

You should at least watch the Chunin Exam arc right after then skip to the Labyrinth Arc since it has to do with Kara.

See— this is a weird one cause for Boruto pt1 these mfs thought it’d be a wonderful idea to have filler episodes that are canon to the overall story💀💀 I use this one example all the time cause it’s the most notable for me.

Idk if you read the manga(well most likely but you could just be anime only that doesn’t care about spoilers) but there was a chapter somewhere when our former main man here Boruto asks Sasuke what else he can teach him and Sasuke says that he’s gonna focus on training his daughter and that maybe he can ask Naruto for help, much to Boru’s dismay.

The manga never shows Sasuke training with her but you know what does? The anime. Sarada has a whole training arc with her mom AND dad in the anime that happens basically after that moment. So really whatever episode you start watching at just depends on what you don’t mind missing.

287-293, and if you want to watch the Sasuke Retsuden adaptation, 282-286.

287

1

Then what's the point of watching a series if you're gonna skip its story. Isn't it the same thing if you were reading the manga and asked people what chapters are skippable? Or a book?

I get where you come from tho, these last episodes have been so boring, I even began to notice my face remains expressionless during the 25 min it lasts.

But the story is not whole if you skip parts. We miss the growth of some characters or little details that are important later on. For example, Kawaki has been bitching less and less with every episode.

It's all anime canon.

Any of the chocho canon PLS skip

All

Imo all the anime canon is completely unwatchable, but opinions are subjective, so you’re gonna get varying answers on this one.

I personally only enjoy the manga canon. Ive tried a few anime canon arcs and just could not bring myself to care whatsoever, probably because I became acclimated to the epic/high tension nature of Shippuden. I’ll probably enjoy Boruto anime canon more when it gets to that level.

So, yeah, imo skip all anime canon and watch manga canon only, EXCEPT for the timeskip arc. Time skip arc Is anime canon, and it was pretty neat. Light spoiler: >!Boruto and Sasuke go back in time and interact with various notable individuals from the Leaf during OG naruto days.!<

Basically:

• Everything in the anime is canon to the anime.
  Even the "filler" episodes: they are classified as such only because whoever made the list didn't like them, not for objective reasons.

• The anime was originally made to expand on the worldbuildingside-characters as the manga, with its glacial pacing, had no space for them.
  "Anime Canon" is a catch-all term for

  • stuff in the anime that is implied to have happened in the manga

(for example everything before the Chunin Exam)

• worldbuilding elements not portrayed in the manga
  (for example: the remaining Kara Inners, the whereabouts of Kakashi and the social-political-economical status of Hidden Stone and Hidden Mist)

Do note that the anime goes its own way: Mitsuki goes through character development in episodes many classifies as either anime canon or fillers. And such development informs and impacts his character even in episodes adapting the manga.

In short: you gotta watch most everything

Anime canon basically means what happens in those episodes aren't in the manga, but has some ties to the manga canon episodes and are somewhat of an extension of it. The manga is extremely plot-focused, so these serve as an additional context or something to raise the stakes.

For example, Kawaki's backstory episode is mostly anime canon, the only bit that was in the manga was at the end, so yes they're pretty important. Kara's introduction was expanded to include what the characters are like rather than going straight to their meeting.

You can skip it, some of them are hit or miss, but you are going to be confused when they talk about what happened in those episodes. You're probably also going to not care about some characters all that much, like you could just write off Shojoji and the Mujina Bandits as a typical "villain of the arc", or be confused as to why >!Mugino dying was such a big deal, or Kashin Koji killing Victor.!<

In my experience watching BORUTO Anime!

Anime Canon is how the story being approved and supervise by Ukyo Kodachi (Old Author of BORUTO Manga), this type in Boruto anime is how the main story plot extended with a new story arc for example Kara Actuation Arc and how that story will connected and referenced in manga arc (in which adapted into the anime), for example Ao Arc and Kawaki Arc.

The anime canon is a new type of canon due to the involvement and input made for the anime arc. It does well in connecting between Manga Canon and Anime Canon until after the Kawaki Arc (and even the Chunin Re-Examination Arc). However, I think the quality of the Anime arc story writing decreased after this point. Nevertheless, I believe the Great Sea Battle of Kirigakure is how the story theme somehow became disconnected from the main story of BORUTO, along with a decreased quality of animation.

Labyrinth Game Arc is still a good anime canon for me.

So the conclusion is, the anime canon did a good job of connecting and referencing the story to the manga arc as the author's involvement is much stronger.

I hope the anime return will follow the BORUTO anime continuity along with referencing the story plot from previous anime canon arc.

P.S: Anyone won't like my statement, but I speaking as the person who did watched BORUTO Anime from start to finish... and I recommend you to skip filler (one episodic story) if you don't want to waste your time.

Skip filler but watch Anime Cannon.

Anime Cannon was written by Kodachi the old author.

The Japan canon and filler aren’t a thing. It’s the audience that created these buzzwords to differentiate everything and compartmentalize
