One Piece Filler Episodes Guide

Alright, let’s be honest, One Piece is a monster of a show. With over 1,100 episodes and counting, it’s not something you casually finish in a weekend. Unless, of course, you don’t need sleep. If you're trying to catch up without spending the next five years of your life glued to a screen, you’ll want to know which episodes actually matter and which you can skip.

One Piece in a Nutshell

Since the late ‘90s, One Piece has followed Monkey D. Luffy, a rubber-powered pirate with one goal: find the legendary treasure and become King of the Pirates. Eiichiro Oda, the mastermind behind the series, insists that the story is entering its final act, but since new manga chapters keep rolling out, the episode count is only going up.

If you want to experience One Piece without losing entire months of your life, you’re in luck. We’ve sorted out the filler episodes you can skip and the absolute must-watch episodes so you don’t accidentally miss something important.
