is bleach episode 249 filler?

In Soul Society, a panting Captain Kenpachi Zaraki stands before Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō and tells it to makes its next move. As 11th Division Lieutenant Yachiru Kusajishi expresses concern for Kenpachi, Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō remains still.

Telling Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō to do it, Kenpachi yells and leaps toward it. When Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō swings its blade toward him, Kenpachi attempts to block, only to be sent flying into a wall by the force of the impact.

As Yachiru calls out to him, Kenpachi crashes into the ground in front of her.
