I watched all Naruto episodes on Netflix. I want to know if episode 220 leads right into Naruto Shippuden. I only watched a few minutes of episode 1 in Shippuden, but just watching it, I feel like I'm missing more episodes that lead into Shippuden.
Naruto Shippuden Episode 220
No, you haven't missed any episodes. There is a time skip between the end of Naruto and the beginning of Shippuden, where Naruto goes off and trains with Jiraiya and the other characters do various other things as well, some of which are shown in flashbacks but most are just referred to.
There will be reference episodes regarding training and Naruto's growth in the future parts of Shippuden. They even pop-up just as filler episodes between an interesting plot through the series up until about episode 300 or so.
Naruto is an anime series based on Masashi Kishimoto's manga series of the same name. The series centers on the adventures of Naruto Uzumaki, a young ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village, searching for recognitions and wishing to become the ninja by the rest of the village to be the leader and the strongest of all. The series was directed by Hayato Date, and produced by Pierrot and TV Tokyo.[1] The episodes are based on the first twenty-seven volumes in Part I of the manga, while some episodes feature original, self-contained storylines.[2]
The 220 episodes that constitute the series were aired between October 3, 2002, and February 8, 2007, on TV Tokyo in Japan.[1] The English version of the series was released in North America by Viz Media, and began airing on September 10, 2005, on Cartoon Network's Toonami programming block in the United States.[3] On September 20, 2008, Cartoon Network ended its Toonami block, but the channel continued sporadically airing episodes of Naruto in the time slots originally occupied by Toonami's programming until January 31, 2009 when episode 209, the last episode to air in the US was shown, due to the closure of Toonami Jetstream.[4]
On March 23, 2009, Viz stated that they were still dubbing new episodes and intended to see them aired on television.[5][6] Ultimately, the final eleven episodes of the series never aired in the United States, but they were collected on DVD by Viz, which was released on September 22, 2009.[7] The remaining eleven episodes of the English version aired on YTV's Bionix programming block in Canada from October 25 to December 6, 2009.[8] Adult Swim's relaunched Toonami block reran the first 52 episodes in a completely uncut format from December 1, 2012, to November 30, 2013. After the 52nd episode, the series was removed from the schedule rotation to make room for its successor series, Naruto: Shippuden.[9]
If we add Naruto and Naruto Shippuden together, we find more than 275 filler episodes out of the 720 that make up the anime. In other words, almost 40%. So, for those of you lucky enough to be entering Konoha for the first time, or for those of you who feel like going back and forgetting Boruto, we leave you with a list that includes all the filler episodes of the anime. Will you join us?
The first part of Naruto consists of 220 episodes, of which 91 are filler episodes (more than 40%). Luckily, most of the "non-canon" episodes pile up in the final stretch, where there are more than 70 in a row, making it quite easy to dodge them.
Naruto Shippuden, set two and a half years after Naruto, has twice as many episodes, 500, and twice as many filler episodes, with 188 episodes (38% of the total). They are much more complicated to avoid, because there are several so-called "mixed" episodes that include filler and the occasional canon scene. In general, we recommend avoiding the mixed ones. The canon scenes do not justify their viewing because they last only a few seconds and are remembered via flashback at the beginning of the next episode that is purely canon. But there is a caveat. The last 20 episodes, considered mixed, are worth watching even with their ups and downs, as they serve as an emotional farewell, help you connect with Boruto and contain more Kishimoto material than the rest. With these considerations, you should avoid "just" the following ones:
This run of "Naruto" episodes contains one of the most compelling arcs in the series. Naruto and his fellow genin (junior ninjas) set off to bring Sasuke back, led by the recently promoted Shikamaru. Each young shinobi fights high above his level in this storyline, which also introduces cooperation with their new allies, the Three Sand Siblings. Furthermore, the arc ends in Naruto's first great showdown with Sasuke.
The final movie of the original "Naruto" series, "Crescent Moon Kingdom" is most notable for replacing Sasuke with Rock Lee and for showing off the team's new warm-weather outfits. "Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom" is placed after Episode 196 because it was released around the same time as that episode. Plus, scenes from the movie made it into the opening of Episodes 197 through 199. But again, both "Naruto" movies, "Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom" and "Legend of the Stone of Gelel," could theoretically be thrown anywhere, as long as they end up among the many filler episodes that finish the series. Another option would be to watch the episodes, then watch the movies.
"Naruto" ends with yet more filler episodes. In general, these episodes are usually either a flashback to backstory with mostly inconsequential details, a mission with people from different teams thrown together to hone their skills (and often look for Sasuke), a display of strengthening alliances with entities such as Hidden Sand Village, or an exploration of a "What if?" scenario. Episode 220, in which Naruto leaves with Jiraiya, is tied to the same event in the comics, however, and is therefore definitely canon. If you're looking to speed through the series, you can jump to Episode 220, in which Naruto leaves Hidden Leaf Village to travel and train with the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya.
Unfortunately, the "Naruto: Shippuden" movies can be even tougher to fit into the right order than the original "Naruto" flicks. Not only are there simply more episodes and arcs to sort through, some of these movies have serious inconsistencies with the canon story. That said, this one is relatively easy to fit.
A lot happens in this stretch of episodes. Here, we witness the death of a major sensei, the rise of the new Ino-Shika-Cho team, and Naruto inventing a new super-powerful jutsu based on the Rasengan. Though the second half of this run, from Episode 91 to Episode 112, is considered quasi-canon, it does contain a tailed beast which makes some impact on the storyline. Therefore, you might as well watch this stretch of storytelling.
"Will of Fire" is one of the few movies with references to things from the series, which make it clear that it has to take place after the "Kakashi Chronicles" episodes, which end with Episode 120. Also, Naruto, Sai, and Sakura break village rules and follow Kakashi, an act of disobedience Sai would only have been able to commit after some time spent with Team Seven.
There is a huge death in this run, one that hits Naruto especially hard. The Akatsuki also seriously up their activity, and Jiraiya is haunted by a student from his past. In an especially important flashback, Jiraiya even offers the viewers a major revelation as to Naruto's parentage. Sasuke finally gets the revenge that has motivated him for most of his life ... and realizes he knew nothing. In the aftermath, he joins the seriously-dwindled Akatsuki. This stretch of episodes contains an arc some fans call filler, which actually ends up having a big role in later episodes. Bottom line: These episodes are impactful and important.
In Episodes 197 through 251, we see the Five Kage unite to fight a known threat and endure the death of a (shady) major Hidden Leaf player. We're also treated to a whole lot of filler episodes featuring the villagers rebuilding Hidden Leaf Village, while flashing back to various fun but ultimately unimportant backstories. If one were to get really technical with watching order, they should jump ahead to Episode 311 before moving on to the next movie, and then move on to episode 252. This is because Episode 311 is a special episode made to coincide with "Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie." They both take place before the Fourth Shinobi War, and involve an experiment with the jutsu upon which Tobi bases the pivotal Infinite Tsukuyomi.
This massive run of 240 episodes is impossible to properly describe in a term paper, much less a slide. Here we encounter the Fourth Great Shinobi War, Naruto and Sasuke's final battle, and Naruto's ascendancy to a status unimaginable to anybody who knew the boy growing up. Suffice it to say, a lot of incredible things happen to every man, woman, and beast in the "Naruto" world. These episodes feature amazing battle after amazing battle, creating an absolutely jaw-dropping storyline that goes toe-to-toe with the greatest anime sagas around. Though again, Episode 311 should be watched after 251, not in its series order. 2ff7e9595c
