This is funny cause when thinking of it's origins two things come to mind, the Bleach anime and it's various filler seasons, and then also Naruto's original anime and it's latter half being basically nothing but filler.
But yeah idk why but the term filler leaves a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to Tokusatsu. Especially when like, you only get so many episodes with these characters before moving onto the next series, why wouldn't you want some little detour episodes just having neat and relaxing adventures?
I prefer the term episodic over filler, and I feel like it works really well in some cases. Garo is a franchise where a lot of the episodes end up being episodic and while plot beats do occur in the background, it isn't really the focus until certain points and it isn't a big overarching narrative.
Or in another case, Ultraman, where in older series, the plot is very, very non-existent for the purpose of telling unique and interesting one-shot stories. It's why I prefer a lot of older Ultraman to the newer incarnations because like you're giving me a new world to explore, let's not be all doom and gloom with plot, show me the various little inner workings of this new world. Which I feel like Z handled pretty well with how Celebro and his stuff played a backseat to other things and how he only became relevant when necessary.
Oh dear I'm rambling, but long story short, I hate the term filler being used in Tokusatsu series and prefer it as being called Episodic, and I will vouch for that kind of direction in Toku because I feel it works in its favor.
