‘Classroom of the Elite’ Filler List: Updated With Season 3!
Join us on Reddit for the latest Marvel & DC news!
Yōkoso jitsuryoku shijō shugi no kyōshitsu e, abbreviated Youzitsu and best known as Classroom of the Elite, is a Japanese light novel series written by Shōgo Kinugasa and illustrated by Shunsaku Tomose. The story follows the perspective of Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, a quiet and unassuming boy who, after meeting Suzune Horikita and Kikyō Kushida, starts to get involved in many affairs. The series was adapted into an anime in 2017. A second season aired in 2022, with a third one premiering in early 2024.
As fans will know, long-running anime series, especially adaptations, tend to add so-called filler episodes or arcs during their initial run. Filler episodes were popular throughout the 90s and early 00s, but they’ve become a relic since then. While the phenomenon is rare in modern anime series, we have still decided to tell you whether there are any filler episodes in Classroom of the Elite.
Are there any filler episodes in Classroom of the Elite?
As we have said above, fillers are quite rare in modern anime. They were common during the ’90s and early ’00s, when many series – practically all of them – had filler content, and some anime adaptations even completely changed the original manga and had a non-canon filler ending. Most of the fillers were not canon, although some have retroactively been made canon (Bleach is a good example, as the Can’t Fear Your Own World light novel made some of the filler arcs canon, at least partially).
As far as Classroom of the Elite is concerned, we can confirm that the series has only canon episodes, i.e., no filler content at all. This is not uncommon for contemporary anime series, and in that aspect, we can simply confirm that Classroom of the Elite is in line with modern trends. This doesn’t mean that the anime has no original content, but that content is limited to some scenes or dialogues and nothing else.
This doesn’t mean the series won’t have filler content later, but this is the current state as of the time of writing.
