Kamen Rider Blade filler episodes?

hiryuangel2 · 06-27-2021, 10:29 PM

So I'm about to start Blade just wondering if there are any filler episodes I can skip cause the older heisei shows are known to have some filler (Like the date episode in ryuki/the masterchef episode in kabuto) also I heard Blade's plot starts off really slow compared to others so would appreciate if someone could list the skippable episodes.

P.S Before y'all come at me with pitchforks, yes I know Blade is a good show (probably one of the top 10) I just don't have the luxury of time to sit through every episode like I used to.

Personally, I'd tell you to just watch it all in the time you prefer, since that's always the go-to.

However, I hear a lot of people say to skip the first quarter of episodes because of their whackiness. It's been a while since I watched Blade, but it's what I know.

I suggest you just power through all the episodes cause personally I find it hard to trim episodes out for Blade in its entirety.

Heck some filler episodes actually have significant moments happen by the end of the arc, so trying to weed things out is real tricky.

The first quarter of Blade develops it's secondary rider first, so skipping it is basically choosing to ignore Garren's growth.

I can't really think of any filler episodes in Blade, to be honest, but I am biased since I love it so much

I'm inclined to agree. Blade is pretty heavily serialized in a way that most later shows aren't.

Blade also is a series that's very... messy? And when I say that I say it lovingly, but there are like four different types of themes and arcs the show takes on so basically any episode could be important in that sense for really grasping it. I'm trying so so hard to come up with any episode that could be skippable, and all I'm coming up with is 29/30; which is really difficult to tell you to skip because it's amazing!
