Recap Tips
- Weekly previews and mid-arc recaps are common—safe to skip on rewatch.
- Look for “Recap” or “Special” in episode titles around major arc transitions.
Where do the movies fit?
Most films are non-canon side stories. Watch them after the saga they released alongside (e.g., Strong World after Thriller Bark/Sabaody; Film Z after Fish-Man Island; Film Gold around Dressrosa; Film Red around Wano).
