The Thousand-Year Blood War arc
Hidetomo appears when Ryūnosuke Yuki asks Shino why the Shinigami and Quincy have to fight. After pardoning them for their tardiness, Hidetomo explains that Shinigami were once called "Balancers" because of their job of balancing the souls between the Human World and Soul Society. He then explains that the Quincy threaten this balance because they kill Hollows, eradicating their souls in the process, and causing the number of Souls in the Human World to overwhelm that of the Soul Society. Hidetomo goes on to explain that several attempts were made to reason with the Quincy, until 200 years ago, when it was decided that they would be exterminated. Ryūnosuke asks if the Shinigami were fighting for a just cause, to which, Hidetomo replies that since this is war, both sides were fighting for a just cause.

Somewhile later, Hidetomo, Ryūnosuke, Shino, and some other Shinigami patrol near the Shakonmaku. He tells Ryūnosuke to be not so tense, as the Vandenreich will need to attack a gate, as they did last time, to invade Seireitei, and that they will get warned if such an invasion would take place. Suddenly, the Vandenreich Leader appears in the sky above them, sarcastically remarking that his statement 'makes sense'. Hidetomo tells the other Shinigami to calm down, as he still is outside the Shakonmaku. Ryūnosuke screams, telling Hidetomo that he isn't. As Hidetomo looks upon, visibly shocked, large explosions erupt behind him.

Quotes

 * (To Ryūnosuke Yuki) "If one side was just, it would be called a 'defense' or a 'suppression', but this is war and war happens because both sides are just."
