Why counts sometimes differ
Fans online sometimes quote slightly different totals like “89” or “94” episodes, because:
- Some lists treat recap episode 13.5 and other summaries as separate episodes.
- Others split or merge the final-season specials into episode-like chunks.
If you’re planning a watch-through and just want the full story once, following the 88-episode main list plus OVAs is a clean approach.
