As Kusaka was panting he was watching Hitsugaya in his fighting stance and Hitsugaya was watching Kusaka.
Kusaka: "I really didn't want to use this as it would have damaged my soul since it hasn't passed that much time since i returned."
Kusaka: "But i can no longer hold back...."
Hitsugaya: "Then neither i will..."
Both: "Bankai: Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!!!!"
Their Bankai caused ice to flow from Hyōrinmaru onto them, starting from the right arm, which ice forms onto in the shape of a dragon's head around the sword hand, encasing the sword up to the hilt, which also changes from the shape of a four-pointed star to that of an eight-pointed star.
The ice continued forming up over their shoulders, with two large wings sprouting from their back and a long tail. The ice forms down their left arms and encases their hand, which ends in a claw.
Their feet are encased in ice in a similar manner to their left hand, as they also end in claws. Above them three flowers of ice were formed as they floated behind them, each consisting of four purple petals shaped like diamonds.
Kusaka's petals were black which surprised Hitsugaya and he could see that they placed enormous strain on Kusaka's body.
Furthermore, he couldn't sense any increase in his reiatsu just before he could say something Kusaka appeared in front of him.
Kusaka: "Don't get distracted!!!! Ryūsenka - Dragon Hail Flower"
Kusaka stabbed at him and a huge burst of ice erupted from the point of contact between Hyōrinmaru and him, encasing and freezing him. Kusaka then proceeded to shatter the ice, and Hitsugaya with it.
A flower instantly shatters from behind making Kusaka now have 2 of them, at the same time he heard a voice behind him which made him unable to react.
Hitsugaya: "Are you sure, you should be distracted??"
Hitsugaya: "Sennen Hyōrō - Thousand Years' Ice Prison"
Hitsugaya created many ice pillars, which encircled Kusaka. The pillars then moved towards him as they enveloped and crushed him.
Hitsugaya started panting as well but more lightly and from his flowers, one of them who had 4 petals now had only two...
Yin: "How??"
Yang: "How did he avoid that..."
Senna: "I'm gonna ask the same as them, how did he avoid it??"
Sora was quite perplexed as all 3 were looking at him waiting for an answer, he feints ignorance and pointed at himself as if asking are you asking me?? After he saw all 3 nods he sighed before speaking up or so he thought but someone else got the better of him.
Kusaka: "Zanhyō Ningyō - Lingering Ice Puppet/Doll, Upon activating our Bankai, we are able to create and shape a large amount of ice into our exact likeness. It is very life-like, as they can appear to bleed."
Kusaka: "Unfortunately it can usually only trick an opponent once with it, so we usually save it for towards the end of a battle."
Hitsugaya: "Are you saying our battle ended??"
Kusaka: "I'll give you this round and our score will be a tie, either way, i don't have enough Reiatsu to support another attack."
Kusaka: "But be warned next time we meet it will be on a grander stage... The Soul Society!!!"
As he said that Kusaka with Yin and Yang vanished from there, just before they could do so Hitsugaya tried to stop them only to be blocked by Sora.
Hitsugaya: "What are you doing they are getting away!!!"
Sora: "I know, but do you think you can take them all three?? I told you right we came here unofficially ourselves, in other words, we never saw you fighting and we have no idea where you are."
