FAQ
How many filler episodes are in Gintama and what percentage is filler?
Gintama contains 22 filler episodes out of 370 total episodes, meaning roughly 6% of the anime is filler.
How much time is saved by skipping Gintama filler episodes?
Skipping all 22 filler episodes will save you approximately 8.8 hours of watching time (assuming ~24 minutes per episode).
What are the worst or most skippable filler episodes in Gintama?
The initial 1-hour special (episodes 1–2) is widely considered skippable as it introduces characters before the official story setup in episode 3. Other standalone fillers like episodes 50, 75, 114, 124–125, and 150 can also be skipped without missing any story elements.
Is episode 1 and 2 essential to watch before starting Gintama?
No, episodes 1 and 2 were created as a celebratory special to introduce the cast to manga fans. The true canon narrative begins at episode 3, where Gintoki meets Shinpachi for the first time.
