The Two Hinamoris, Hitsugaya's Resolution

 is the three hundred twenty-sixth episode of the Bleach anime.

Summary
Having defeated the Reigai of Hitsugaya, an injured Byakuya finds his path is blocked by his own reigai doppleganger. Byakuya comments that he knew that sooner or later they would cross paths. The reigai notes that Byakuya is injured. Regardless, they both draw their Zanpakutō and simultaneously state "There can only be one Byakuya Kuchiki."

Kenpachi is walking through a bamboo forest with Yachiru on his back. Yachiru notices Suì-Fēng, whose purple eyes sparkle, and begins to say that it is probably a reigai, but Kenpachi cuts her off saying he knows. Suì-Fēng draws her sword and immediately the Onmitsukidō appears around Kenpachi. Kenpachi draws his own sword and a battle promptly ensues.

Yamamoto is battling Jūshirō Ukitake's reigai clone. The reigai forces him back and the Kyōraku reigai promptly dives upon him from above. Yamamoto dodges with Shunpo and reappears just behind the reigai and kicks him into a rock face. Ukitake charges at Yamamoto, to which Yamamoto responds by also charging and stabbing Ryūjin Jakka forward, but Ukitake angles Sogyo no Kotowari so that Ryūjin Jakka is trapped in the hook-like prong on the back of his blade. Yamamoto then activates Ryūjin Jakka's ability, sending an injured Ukitake flying through the air. As the smoke clears, Yamamoto sees that the Unohana clone has healed Ukitake and Kyōraku steps in next to them and raises his sword. Yamamoto comments "darned children" and unleashes his reiatsu.

While running on a wall, Hitsugaya sees Hinamori sitting on a rooftop. She looks up at him with a sweet smile using his nick name 'Shiro-chan' she then goes on to explain of how she woke up in the 12th Division to find everyone gone and appears to be very vulnerable and scared. Hitsugaya states that she should keep safe from the battles that are going on around them she reassures him she is okay before stumbling. Hitsugaya manages to catch her before she falls off the roof and Hinamori apologizes before drawing her sword.

Hitsugaya swiftly blocks it and notices her bracelet. She asks him if he is going to try and kill her again, bringing back memories of the battle against Aizen for Hitsugaya. She stabs him in the stomach before chasing after Hitsugaya as he refuses to attack her or protect himself. Soon, another Hinamori appears claiming that it was unforgivable to hurt Shiro-chan. Hitsugaya watches as they fight each other. Confused as to which is the real Hinamori, Hitsugaya steps between the two of them and is stabbed by both of them. He realizes that they are both reigai and as both raise their sword whilst apologising, they are attacked and defeated by Yoruichi's Shunkō technique.

After the magazine is opened, Hinamori, Matsumoto, Nanao and Sui-Feng got all bug-eyed on the Bleach Rock Musical stars featured in the magazine. Hinamori then states the she like the looks of the guys in the magazine, but Sui-Feng states that they can't compare to Yourichi. Matsumoto then states that one of the stars is quite a man and Nanao startes blushing upon looking the stars in the magazine. Matsumoto then says that Nanao's face has turned red, which Nanao denies; this results in an argument between the four of them, and as a result the magazine's front cover which featured Hisagi's face got torn off and being stepped on.
