Just look at filler arcs in anime that still establish certain parts that come later.

We have the example of that one filler in FT with Mirajane's Satan Soul or the filler arc in Bleach with the sword spirits. -I said that it doesn't. As in, it does not happen often. I'm aware that ocasionally they do, even if in small things. But it's not done often enough to assume it would be the case here just because the main show was inspired by multiple animes.

-Are you comparing filler arcs done in animes that outrun the mangas they are based on, to a spinoff show?

-I haven't really watched Fairy Tail (and have no interest in doing so), and I dropped Bleach long ago, so I got no idea about those examples you're talking about.
