So i had re-watched the Bleach anime a few months back, and i've always kinda wondered about something.

Ichigo is shown to throw away his Substitute Shinigami Badge into the river, due to the fact of feeling that hanging onto the now powerless item was synonymous with holding onto the past. So he decides to get rid of it. Then later, Ginjo returns it, telling Ichigo that he oughtta keep it.

I wondered how on earth did Ginjo retrieve it. Even if he secretly watched Ichigo do so, i find it very unlikely for Ginjo to have gone diving, as well as even be able to find it. I considered that the Badge somehow could follow Ichigo on its own via means of connection to his soul, or something. But then why would Ginjo have it? Ginjo obviously retrieved it himself.

Lately, i've been going through details and theories in my head. And this detail really had me curious last night; so i took to Google. Couldn't find anything... okay, let's read through the chapters of this arc in the manga.

Oh, i can't seem to find them there.

So unless i carelessly skimmed over these scenes in the manga, then that means they were filler scenes.

Anybody wanna confirm that for me? Just wanna make sure i'm not missing something. Thank you.
