Anime does this a lot with the episode names.
Previously on ANIMESHOW: Oh no, Thompson has been captured by the Brookdale Pirates, will his friends be able to rescue him?
Episode 72: Thompson gets murdered by the Brookdale Pirates!
I always wondered why a lot of animes have previews at the end. I'm watching hunter x hunter again, and at the end you'd see part of the next episode, and at the beginning you see part of the last episode. If you wanna speedrun, you can watch the first and last 2 minutes.
Maybe episode padding. I've wondered the same about the flashbacks in some animes. Again, Naruto is bad for this. There's some scenes that are shown like a dozen times, any time there's a reference to it. It's annoying because they respect their audience in some ways that a lot of western media doesn't (like putting effort into strategy and tactics to avoid "why didn't they just do x instead?"), but then act like viewers have no memory of what has happened previously (sometimes Naruto has flashbacks from the same episode, even).
