While Hitsugaya was training with his Zanpakutō, he notices something is wrong with Hyōrinmaru. Before he can find out what the problem is, Hyōrinmaru disappears, leaving the young captain to wonder what happened to his partner. Hyōrinmaru later appears again in his human form, when he, along with Muramasa, join all of the Zanpakutō spirits in a cave. He, along with Muramasa, are welcomed by Suzumebachi and Tobiume and the former comments on him looking kind of cool. He is last seen along with the rest of the Zanpakutō spirits that appear before the Shinigami that have gathered at the Sōkyoku Hill. He, along with Senbonzakura and Ashisogi Jizō, appears seemingly out of thin air and walks past his former master before joining the rest of the spirits.
