Oh I can agree on that, but whats unfortunate is that its hard for the majority of the fanbase to welcome it after only getting one fully canon episode in nearly 7 months. While this does hold more value to the story, think about how this war started in episode 252. We literally have more episodes of this war then chapters. This is because of the exponential amount of filler in-between. Of it all, how much of it was truly assisting to the story? The Shadow of the Anbu arc was nice, but even then, didn't do much for the story. This will probably be the most relevant filler we've gotten in this war thus far, which is about half of the war.
