Black Clover Fillers: How many Fillers are there?

The anime is ongoing with 3 seasons and is currently on an anime-exclusive arc. There are 9 filler episodes in total, and the series has an extremely low filler percent of 6%.

The fillers are mostly recap episodes and hence, are sometimes really annoying. It is recommended that you skip the fillers.

2. Which Fillers Can You Skip?

There are only 9 filler episodes in Black Clover and almost half of them are recaps. If you really do not mind watching generic fan-service comedy episodes, then feel free to watch those.

However, nobody likes recap episodes and you may refer to the list below to skip them!

• Path (Episode 29)
• The Secret of the Eye of the Midnight Sun (Episode 66)
• Recap Episodes: Nero Reminiscences (123-124)
• Return (Episode 125)

3. Why does Black Clove have Fillers and Anime-Exclusives?

Most anime are animated adaptations of manga and Black Clover isn’t any different. Usually, when a manga is ongoing, it needs to have abundant content that could be incorporated into the anime.

In the case of Black Clover, the manga does not have sufficient chapters that can be adapted into the anime and hence, the fillers.

Black Clover has anime canon episodes apart from fillers. Anime canons are different from fillers because they are actually incorporated by the creator of the manga, Yuki Tabata.

He has looked over some of the anime-exclusive episodes instead of letting the staff churn out useless fillers.

There are 19 anime-exclusive or anime canon episodes in Black Clover as of September 2020.

Anime Exclusive Episodes: 3, 13, 55-56, 130-133, 136-ongoing

Do not skip these anime-canon episodes, as they have a well-structured storyline and, despite lacking a manga arc, are really fun to watch!
