is bleach episode 175 filler?

Inside the Kasumiōji Clan house, Shū Kannogi is greeted by Gyōkaku Kumoi, who asks how he is doing. Kannogi says he is fine, but is unsure what he should be doing as the head of the family.

Kumoi says that is perfect, telling Kannogi to let him deal with the family's matters. After Kumoi leaves, Kannogi states that he feels like he is under house arrest and that he has nothing to do, but to sit around.

He laments on the fact that Rurichiyo has yet to return and he wonders if it was right for him to have taken over as leader in her absence. Kumoi meets with Hanza and reveals he is angry at Hanza's failure.

However, Kumoi does say that Ichigo is far stronger than they had anticipated.
