I think Pierrot wished that the Toju arc never existed as well. From what I understand, 255 was supposed to be the last filler episode, but someone told the animation team to make 10 more episodes without really any notice. If you look at some of the omakes and one-shots, there are clearly backhanded remarks from the animation team presented in the episodes.
