Yeah, they can't do something like that with the shitty animation and storyboard budget (and teams) they use. Barring the animation, the writing for filler arcs in general is awful, or at least has been since the Pain arc. The Sora, Three-Tails and Six-Tails arcs have been done pretty damn well in comparison to the episodic nonsense/repetitive flashbacks done in current arcs.
