Fairy Tail Filler Episodes: A Complete List

I was surprised to discover Fairy Tail filler episodes. They blended in so well that my first time watching, I did not even realise it. These filler episodes were done as ways to wait for the source material, the manga, to get enough content to adapt. These filler episodes can be a range of things,, from flashbacks to recaps. The fillers can also have original plots and characters or even ‘ranking’ episodes.

What is Fairy Tail about?

In the vibrant kingdom of Fiore, magic isn’t just a spectacle—it’s a way of life. Among countless wizarding guilds, there’s one that stands out for its warmth, chaos, and unwavering loyalty: Fairy Tail. Join Lucy, a starry-eyed girl with dreams of celestial wizardry, as she stumbles into the wildest adventures alongside Natsu, a fire-breathing Dragon Slayer raised by a talking dragon, and Happy, an ever-cheerful blue cat with wings! From battling mischievous wizards and rival guilds to uncovering lost treasures and ancient mysteries, Fairy Tail never has a dull day. With each hilarious misstep and hard-won victory, they form a bond stronger than any magic.

With Fairy Tail, there are a few episodes that are a combination of filler and cannon (adapted from the source) content. There are also episodes that are fully filler. So I shall expose which episodes are fully filler and which episodes are mixed.

Fairy Tail Episodes that are fully filler:

• 9, 
• 19, 
• 50, 
• 70-75, 
• 125-150, 
• 202-226, 
• 268

The Fairy Tail filler takes down the episodes from 328 episodes to 267 episodes. That is approximately 109 hours of watch time being reduced by roughly 20 hours. Watching the entirety of Fairy Tail without filler will take around 89 hours. I am including the OVA episodes to make up the episodes of Fairy Tail.

Episodes that are part-filler and part-cannon:

• 20,
• 49,
• 69,
• 151,
• 182-183,
• 201,
• 255

Well there you have it, now you can skip the filler completely.
