is bleach episode 79 filler?

As morning dawns in Karakura Town, Orihime Inoue opens a window on the second floor of the Urahara Shop and wonders how long Ichigo Kurosaki and 6th Division Lieutenant Renji Abarai are going to train. Behind her, a kneeling Rukia Kuchiki folds her bedspread material and admits that she does not know while suggesting they let Ichigo and Renji spar until they are satisfied and admonishing Ichigo for being depressed simply because he lost once, which Orihime acknowledges is likely the right choice.
