As Ichigo fights several Hollows Sado appears alongside Uryū and Orihime and they help defeat the Hollows. Later, assassins are sent into the Human World to kill Rurichiyo Kasumiōji, and Sado is attacked by one of these assassins. Sado easily fends him off though with his armored arm. After this failed attempt, stronger assassins are sent into the Human World and Sado is confronted by the assassin Genga.

Sado leads Genga outside of Karakura Town and he tries to convince Genga that they don't have to fight, but the assassin doesn't listen. Sado is initially overpowered by Genga's Bakkōtō, but after using the true form of his armored arm he is able to fight on even-ground with him. However, Genga fuses with the walls formed from his Bakkōtō and attacks Sado. Sado initially has trouble with Genga while he is fused to the walls, but Sado eventually uses his brute strength to pull the assassin out. After battling a bit more, Sado brings out the true power of his left arm and uses La Muerte to kill Genga, but Sado falls down unconscious in the process. Sado later rests at the Urahara Shop.

When Rukia Kuchiki's Zanpakutō Sode no Shirayuki materializes and attacks Ichigo in the Human World, Sado appears at the Urahara Shop with the others to discuss what is going on. Later, Muramasa arrives in Karakura Town after learning that his master was sealed there and Sado and Uryū Ishida arrive after Orihime Inoue heals him. Sado and Uryū both fight Muramasa together, but Senbonzakura interrupts the fight and separates Uryū from the battle. Muramasa subsequently invades Sado's mind and manages to subdue him. Sado later recovers to fight off Muramasa's Hollows in order for Rukia to go after Muramasa.

When Muramasa transforms into a Hollow and goes on a rampage, Sado goes to protect his friends, his armored arm barely able to repel Muramasa's attacks. When Muramasa's power rises again by drawing in more Hollows, Sado joins Uryū in destroying the Hollows. As Ichigo continues to fight Muramasa, the rogue Zanpakutō goes through another transformation; this time into a dome-like structure that engulfs Ichigo. While Sado and his friends are unsure what to do, several Shinigami arrive to help. After the Shinigami destroy the Hollows and Muramasa's dome collapses, Ichigo emerges with a defeated and dying Muramasa, who apologizes for his mistakes before fading away.
