is bleach episode 263 filler?

In the Seireitei, a hammer-wielding Tōjū grins as he sits in a pot. Upon hearing a Shinigami proclaim it went this way, the Hammer Tōjū ducks down as several Shinigami run past, with one of them telling the others to not let it escape.

Leaping out of the pot, the Hammer Tōjū chuckles before turning around to see Saru. Stating it has been fun, Saru says hide-and-seek is over as the Hammer Tōjū backs up in surprise.

Telling him they should call it a day, Saru sends Zabimaru at the Hammer Tōjū, who knocks it back with his hammer. As Zabimaru glows red and disappears from Saru's hand, Hebi pops up behind the Hammer Tōjū with Zabimaru in his hand, startling and angering the Hammer Tōjū.
