"Filler" can be canon (Kakashi Gaiden, for example), and filler can only exist if the anime adapts the source material, which Boruto doesn't. So not only is non of the Boruto anime filler, it's also all canon, since the author(?) of the manga himself connected anime and manga in a tweet last year or so. Filler is simply content used to fill in extra time and seemingly doesn't add anything to the overall plot. If you can remove it and it changes nothing to the plot, then it's probably filler. It also doesn't only exist in anime as western media also uses it. The anime doesn't need to be adapting anything for filler to exist. I didn't deny the many travesties of this anime are canon.

Can you give me the link to that tweet? I tried finding his WSJ comment, but to no avail
