‘I stopped watching Bleach because of this arc’: One Piece and Naruto Both Have Bad Fillers but Bleach’s Worst Arc Actually Made Fans Quit the Anime
When we think of popular Shonen anime, Bleach is usually one of the first titles that comes to mind. Its engaging storyline, unforgettable characters, and thrilling fight scenes make fans often compare it to other Shonen giants like One Piece and Naruto.

However, there’s another thing where fans often compare them and it is the fillers episodes. While all these three classic Shonens had their fair share of filler episodes, Bleach stands out for one particularly infamous arc that often drove fans away: the Bount Arc.
The Bount Arc: Bleach’s most hated filler
Covering episodes 64-109, the Bount Arc is Bleach‘s first major filler arc. It introduces a set of vampire-like creatures known as the Bounts, who exist by means of ingesting human souls. While the concept of the Bounts appeared promising, in reality, the execution fell short.
