But the guy at the studio said the start of the new season is the TIME SKIP, not the end of the fillers. The Gaiden happens BEFORE the 3 year skip, thus, the Gaiden is before the new season starts.
That means 5 weeks till the time skip, not 5 weeks till the end of fillers.
Although, I do have one question. How long is the Gaiden in the manga?
KG is 5 manga chapters long. (239 - 244)
