Anima Anime
<p>Episode 19 (filler episode) and episode 20 (omake episode) are non-canonical from a continuity perspective.

Ok, but it is really confusing that they swapped bodies and suddenly the three main chars are fishing... So everything is fine in the step from 19 to 20 yes`?

The point is that the things showed in did not *really* happen at that point. Those are anime fillers. Anime fillers are not always logical, and do not necessarily adhere to the plot continuity.

However, one way to convince yourself is that they got punished *after the episode ended* and before the next episode started.

@j0chn While ep 19 and 20 were indeed filler, they were punished in the manga. It wasn't in between episodes either. The moment they got punished should have been at the beginning of episode 21, but Toei just edited out, for some unknown reason.

<p>In episode 19, Natsu, Gray, Happy and Lucie should have been punished because they "stole" an S-Rank quest. However, the master wasn't there, so they wanted to take another quest. When they read the quest content, it swapped their bodies/minds. The master then entered and tried to help them, and the episode ends.</p>

<p>Episode 20 starts in a forest where Natsu and Happy are fishing, so the "ending" of Episode 19 is missing.</p>

<p>Did I watch a wrong "source" or is this part really missing?</p>

I guess they were all forgiven and moved on... I do not think you missed out on an episode...
