As many would have thought, Hisagi is very happy. He never smiled this much during his time as a vice-captain. They talked and their chemistry together is high earning jealousy from Mashiro. Kensei did notice his tattoo silently. He also isn't bothered with the Seireitei News so Hisagi still remained as the head editor of that organisation. 9th division still leads the editorial in Seireitei. At the ending though, as Hisagi watched his new captain from his back, he silently reminded himself: "Those who do not fear their own strength, can never hold their weapons". His story ended with him visiting Tousen's grave or to be precise, Tousen's friend's grave where Suzumushi is placed.
