Frequently asked questions

Which Bleach arcs are filler?

The Bount arc (64–108), Stolen Hōgyoku (128–137), Menos Forest (147–149), New Captain Amagai (168–189), Zanpakutō Unknown Tales and Beast Swords (230–265), and Gotei 13 Invasion (317–341), plus a handful of standalone episodes. That is 163 of 366.

How many episodes is Bleach without filler?

203. That keeps mixed episodes such as 109 and 342, which still adapt the manga and lead into the next canon arc.

Is the Thousand-Year Blood War filler?

No. Thousand-Year Blood War adapts the manga's final arc and picks up right after episode 366. It has no filler arcs.

Can the group skip the Bount arc?

Yes. It is anime-original and nothing in it carries into canon. Jump from episode 63 to 109 and the group misses no story.
