Frequently Asked Questions

How many optional episodes does Gintama have?

Gintama does not use a simple filler split. This guide marks 367 optional episodes across 8 mixed arcs so you can trim side material without blindly skipping canon setup.

Should I skip Gintama mixed arcs?

Do not treat every mixed arc like disposable filler. Gintama blends anime-original material with canon beats, so the safer route is to trim only the episodes marked optional and keep the setup episodes in place.

Which Gintama arcs need extra skip caution?

Gintama is best judged arc by arc. The mixed arcs listed below blend canon and optional material, so use the episode notes instead of a blanket filler rule.
