Filler or Canon?
No — Naruto Shippuden Episode 446 is filler. It's anime-original and has no impact on the main story. Safe to skip if you only want canon. A Jiraiya-flashback filler beat — the young Sage's confrontation; action-focused but non-canon and self-contained.NEXT CANON → SHP EP 451 · Itachi's Story — Light and Darkness: Birth and Death

Episode Summary
Collision brings the Jiraiya-flashback filler to a confrontation as the young Sage clashes with the arc's threat. The episode delivers the anime-original showdown — Jiraiya facing the danger his journey led to, the trial that hardens the legend — within the sealed frame. Sealed inside its filler walls, it advances the arc toward resolution. Competent and action-focused, the collision is engaging in its bubble and outside the timeline, a diversion testing the young Sage without canon weight.
