is bleach episode 270 filler?

Part of Ichigo's mask is shattered as it falls to the floor. He is shocked that Ulquiorra's speed has vastly increased in his release form, and berates himself for not being able to react.

Ulquiorra notes that Ichigo's mask duration is able to last much longer than their last encounter; however, it still breaks easily. Ulquiorra proceeds to throw his javelin at his opponent.

Ichigo tries to observe carefully and is able to dodge the first javelin. However, he is hit on his upper right shoulder by a subsequent attack and is knocked back by its great force.
