Canon & Filler Episode Guide
Manga Canon directly adapts the manga story, no additions. Anime Canon is official story content written or approved by the creator (not in the manga). Mixed Canon/Filler refers to single episodes that blend real story content with anime-only padding within the same episode. Filler is entirely anime-original and fully skippable.
