Bleach’s Filler Count Reaches Over 40 Percent

Bleach is known for its long run and memorable arcs, but it also stands out for having one of the highest filler counts among mainstream shonen anime. Out of its 366 total episodes, 160 are filler, which makes up roughly 43.4 percent of the entire series. These filler episodes were used to give the manga time to progress, often breaking the flow of the main story. While some filler arcs have gained popularity, many fans found the pacing to suffer due to frequent interruptions. The large amount of non-canon content has made rewatching the anime more selective, with many viewers choosing to skip entire arcs. Despite this, Bleach remains a fan favorite for its core storyline and battles.
