Boruto has garnered quite an extensive episode run that now rivals that of the original Naruto series. To date, there are more than 200 episodes of Boruto available to stream⏤but which ones are the most important to watch?
Just like Naruto’s original series, Boruto boasts quite a bit of filler episodes that tell fun stories that aren’t integral to the plot or part of the anime’s manga source material. By skipping these episodes, you can cut out quite a bit of time during your first watch or rewatch of Boruto.
While you may be able to cut out an entire arc early simply by checking out Boruto: Naruto the Movie, here are the other episodes that aren’t canon and can therefore be taken out.
