Yu-Gi-Oh! Manga/Anime Correspondence Guide (Bonus Part: The Anime Filler Episodes)
Now that I’ve finished listing each chapter of the manga and detailing which anime episodes use material from each chapter, I thought I’d make this bonus guide of all the anime episodes that didn’t use any material from the manga.

Ceremonial Battle
- Episode 222
- The episodes surrounding this one make changes where this episode can’t be outright skipped, but almost nothing in this episode appears to correspond to a chapter from the manga
