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 violet eyes spark, 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 execution squad 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. Jūshirō charges at Yamamoto, to which Yamamoto responds by also charging and stabbing Ryūjin Jakka forward, but Jūshirō 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 Jūshirō flying through the air. As the smoke clears, Yamamoto sees that the Unohana clone has healed Jūshirō and Kyōraku steps in next to them and raises his sword. Yamamoto comments "darned children" and unleashes his reiatsu.

Hitsugaya continues running on a wall when suddenly he 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 vunerable and scared, Hitsugaya states that she should keep safe from the battles that are going on around them she resures him she's okay before stumbling, a tile falls from the roof never the less Hitsugaya manages to catch her in time, they share a sort of hug, where Hinamori appologises before drawing her sword, Hitsugaya swiftly blocks it notcing the braclet symbol of the reigai Hinamori then asks him if he's going to try and kill her adding the word 'Again' bringing back memories of the battle against Aizen for Hitsugaya, he is unable to attach her, even to defend himself and allows her to stab him in the stomach, as it seems all it over for Hitsugaya, another Hinamori appears claiming that it was unforgivable to hurt Shiro-chan, Hitsugaya watches as the two girls fight each other, confused as to which is the real Hinamori, Hitsugaya steps between the two of them and is stabbed from the front and the back from both Hinamori's as they are both reigai, the both raise their sword whilst appologising but are suddanly defeted by Yoruichi using the shunko technique, who claims they were too naive, Hitsugaya simply states he has something to do before leaving.
