is bleach episode 219 filler?

Following Lieutenant Izuru Kira's victory over Abirama Redder, Hisagi continues his clash with Findorr, each successfully parrying the attacks of the other several times. They put distance between themselves and Hisagi observes that although Findorr stated that he was at the level of a lieutenant, it would be generous to consider his current level to be equal to one of their 5th Seats.

Findorr excitedly tells Hisagi that he is, in fact, correct in his assessment. He tells Hisagi that he passed his test, that he should have expected it from a lieutenant.

He states that for him, there would be no point in fighting at the same level as Hisagi if his opponent couldn't even gauge his power level.
