is bleach episode 101 filler?

With 12th Division Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi having confronted him on a street in the Seireitei, Sawatari taps his cane against his Doll, Baura, who shifts the majority of his body out of the ground, to Mayuri's intrigue, and asks Sawatari if Mayuri is the next opponent. Confirming this, Sawatari warns Baura that Mayuri is not like the weaklings he has been fighting up until this point due to his status as a captain of the Gotei 13, which leaves Baura anticipating the fun he will have.
