The Bountau(hoped I spelled it right...) story wasn't in the manga right? You can't tell if the war between the Shinigami and the Bountau is officially started now, right? Also, does filler count as anything that doesn't have to do with the current main storyline, or anything that is not mentioned in the manga? I mean, if Ichigo kills that head vampire guy, will it count as a filler?
