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.

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."
