Yu-Gi-Oh Capsule Monsters Filler List

Hey friends, what’s up these days? I know your lives are fun because an otaku can’t live a boring life, can they? LOL, no matter how boring we look to others, that is a different case. So, it’s obvious that the majority of us weebs don’t like irrelevant stuff. Therefore, filler lists are the most annoying part of an otaku’s journey. (most of the time, though).

Yu-Gi-Oh is one such anime that has bound its audience with its compelling plot. Today, we’ll discuss the Yu-Gi-Oh Capsule Monsters Filler List. Yu Gi Oh Capsule Monsters was released in 2006.

If you hate fillers, then this might shock you since it has the highest percentage of fillers. In short, let me shock you, even more. All the episodes of it are fillers! Yes, you heard it right, Yu-Gi-Oh Capsule Monsters has a total of 12 episodes and all are fillers.  

Episode Storyline

Episode 1

This episode was full of twists and turns. The element of Isekai was what I loved about it. Capsule Monsters is the name of the world into which Yugi and others get transported. The reason isn’t that clear in this episode.

The episode begins when Yugi has a nightmare. In the dream, he saw that he was attacked by a fiend. Later, the episodes focus on Joe, Yugi, Tea, and Tristan. During their flight to India, the plane crashes. Then a new character is introduced named Dr, Brisbane. He shows them a map.

The map was quite mysterious because as soon as the heroes touched it, they found themselves in the world of capsule monsters.

Episode 2

This episode is pretty interesting to watch as it involves action. There are fights with monsters as well. Joey somehow found a map and that map was of this world, yes the Capsule Monster World.

On the other hand, Tristian and Tea are saved by an unknown guy. He fights the monster off with his unique powers. The story progresses in this episode, but there wasn’t much in this episode. It was just the transportation in the Capsule World and some revelations about this world.

Episode 3

In this episode, Yugi and others find each other. While the stranger was fighting off the monster, he used his lighting attack. This light made Yugi curious, and he found his friends. Later, the stranger was revealed. Well, he was none other than Yugi’s grandfather. As a result, another element of suspense emerges.

However, grandpa seems to be missing. A lot happens later on, and they all decide to return to their world. LOL, like it’s easy? Things began to get tougher and there they again  had a fight with monsters.

They find a way to return but they must reach in time otherwise, they will be stuck here forever!

Episode 4

The name of the episode is Fortress of Fear. On their way, all of them encounter a lot of hurdles, including the monsters as well. While on their way to the fortress, they got trapped. They must find a way to get free by looking at the statues and observing the situation.

Even after getting free, the hurdles keep on increasing. They come up with another problem, and they get another riddle to solve. According to the riddle, they will have to pass five levels. There were details and rules about these trials as well by which the heroes must stick.

In short, it’s not easy to return home!

Episode 5

In this episode, there are a lot of challenges (challenges inside challenges). One of them was to silence a whisperer in the desert. The episode became more complex as the task was pretty dangerous and not as easy as it sounded.

Somehow, they manage to solve the mystery, but we all know that it isn’t that simple. There is a lot more to come their way. They begin their second challenge at the end of the episode.

Episode 6

They get their new challenge, and the name of it is “The Trial of Light and Shadows”. The story is pretty much similar in this episode as well. Yes, because all they have to do is to successfully win the challenges.

Their journey is not that easy, and they have to find the hidden meaning behind the hints. All the episodes of Yu Gi Oh Capsule Monsters are full of thrill and adventure. However, at the end of the day, they get to know something big. A mysterious guy appears, and he tells them that they must complete and win all the five tasks. Otherwise…… they won’t be able to return!

Episode 7

This is one of my favorite episodes of Yu Gi Oh Capsule Monsters. In these episodes, the heroes encounter a red-eyed dragon. To make matters worse, Joey starts attacking his mates because he has lost control of his body—and the main reason was the dragon!

It was all because he was fused with the red eyes of the dragon. Later, they get to know their other challenge and that was to find a golden apple. 

Episode 8

The heroes find themselves in the jungle, where they get their apple challenge. Joey was a great help in this challenge as he ate some amazing fruits. The fruits made him an instant genius, LOL!

His mind became so sharp that Joey was able to solve any problem. But the task wasn’t that easy. Soon they found that one of the apples was missing. This episode is full of hitches and glitches, but finally, the heroes find a way to win this challenge as well.

Episode 9

In this episode, the masked man is revealed (Yes, that mysterious guy). The heroes get to know their last challenge, which was to end the fiendish five. Well, the fiendish five are none other than five different dragons. Yup, dude, you heard that right!

There, the heroes save a girl who was about to sacrifice herself, thus they promise that they will be the ones to kill the dragons.

Episode 10

The heroes had a fight with the dragons, but they were defeated. Later, our heroes get to know the way to slay the dragons. They came to know that they can slay the dragon only with the help of great powers.

They made another plan, which also failed, and the dragons turned out to be five-headed as a result. There the girl arrives, who was saved by the heroes. She helps them all by praying to her god. Her prayer was of great help, and somehow the dragons were defeated. (of course, the heroes fought them off).

There comes another twist; the dual personality of Alexander. When Solomon shows their trial pendant to Alexander, his evil side uses the pendant and becomes successful in opening the door.

LOL, it’s still not the end, a new dimension is introduced.

Episode 11

In this episode, Shadi asks for the final battle. Evil Alexander summons the souls of his vassals.

All of them had a fight in this episode. This was the best episode so far, but the plot of this episode is as simple as that. They all had a fight.

Episode 12

The last episode of Yu Gi Oh Capsule Monsters. The fight was still going on and evil Alexander tried his level best to give the heroes a tough time. After a series of incidents, the heroes were successful in defeating him.

Finally, our heroes find their way back home. They return to the place where they disappeared, and the episode ends with a happy ending.

Conclusion

With that, I present to you the “not so small” filler list of Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. Though Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V, Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, Yu-Gi-Oh!: Sevens, Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters has a lot of unreported types of episodes, I will make sure to update them as soon as they are confirmed.

Regarding the filler episodes, it’s actually up to the one watching it. If you are like me, you will probably watch all the episodes regardless of it being a filler or a canon. It just feels weird to leave episodes in between. But to those who value time more than me, feel free to skip the fillers.

And if you are someone who has watched all of Yu-Gi-Oh and wants to fill in the blanks (types of episodes), you are more than welcome to share your thoughts and knowledge in the comment section below.
