One Piece is one of the longest-running anime series of all time. And like many manga adapted into anime, it has plenty of filler episodes. While hardcore fans will want to watch every bit of the popular series, here’s every One Piece filler episode you can consider skipping.
One Piece Filler List – Every Episode & Arc You Can Skip
Anime filler can be one-off episodes or short story arcs that are not included in the original manga source material and don’t have a direct bearing on the main narrative. Many manga adaptations feature filler episodes, including Dragon Ball and Fullmetal Alchemist, and One Piece is no exception to that trend. Interestingly, despite running for well over 1,000 episodes, One Piece only has approximately 100 episodes worth of filler across its entire run so far.

One Piece filler episodes are a curious thing, with some episodes containing brief snippets and scenes from the manga, like Episodes 203, 223, 628, and 747, while the rest of the episode is original narrative material. The Ocean’s Dream Arc is a loose adaptation of the 2003 PlayStation game of the same name. The Little East Blue Arc sets up the events of the non-canonical movie One Piece Film: Strong World, while the crossovers with other anime are obviously filler. Finally, while the Uta’s Past episodes introduce the canonical character Uta, just how much of her backstory depicted is considered filler is still an open debate among fans.
