is bleach episode 116 filler?

With Ulquiorra Cifer and Yammy Llargo having returned to his throne room in Las Noches, Sousuke Aizen instruct Ulquiorra to relay everything he saw and felt in the Human World, prompting Ulquiorra to comply by pulling out his left eye and crushing it in his hand to initiate Solita Vista, with the fragments spreading around the room and showing everything Ulquiorra experienced to Aizen and his fellow Arrancar in their minds, primarily the defeat of Ichigo Kurosaki.
