Haschwalth later appears during the Vandenreich's invasion of Soul Society, announcing to the enemy soldiers that the Vandenreich have arrived to "purge" them. Haschwalth confronts the members of the 13th Division, who are being led by Hidetomo Kajōmaru. Haschwalth calls Kajōmaru out on what he believes to be foolish behavior, prompting Kajōmaru to lunge at Haschwalth only to be immediately sliced in half vertically by a single swing of Haschwalth's blade. As the other members of the 13th Division flee and mourn Kajōmaru's death, Yhwach tells Haschwalth that he can spare the other Division members if he sees fit, and Haschwalth leaves the scene.

Haschwalth is later present during the battle between Yhwach(Loyd) and Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, though he doesn't intervene in the battle. After Yamamoto's death, Yhwach tells Haschwalth to order the Stern Ritter to raze all of Soul Society, but the command is interrupted by the sudden arrival of Ichigo Kurosaki. Haschwalth approaches Ichigo to "purge" him, but Yhwach orders him back and confronts Ichigo instead. At the height of Ichigo and Yhwach's battle, Yhwach is stopped by a mysterious force, and Haschwalth tells him that their time limit outside of the "Schatten Bereich" is up.

Once there, he discusses Yhwach's decision with an attendant, revealing that he suspects Yhwach made Ishida his successor in order to restrict Ishida's actions and keep him on a tighter leash.
