** Szayelaporro can create clones of his opponents to fight for him, as [[spoiler:Askin Naak Le Vaar]] finds out. Unfortunately, they're a little ''too'' perfect, as they inherit the ''personalities'' of the original, as well. Case in point: [[spoiler:when he makes a clone of Askin, they get into a catty argument about who's better-looking, since Szayelaporro thought that Askin's pompadour looked stupid and gave the clone a different hairdo]].

They possess all of the negative qualities of the Gotei 13, albeit cranked UpToEleven, and they are so fanatically self-righteous that they simply ''cannot'' be reasoned with. [[spoiler:This culminates in a brutal backstabbing of Excalibur after she offers the Shinigami, Quincies, and Hollows an alternative solution that would mutually benefit ''everybody'', and attempting to force Shirou to become the new Soul King in a final attempt to re-establish the status quo they so fanatically worship. Everyone else--including the Gotei 13--are so enraged by this act of supreme treachery that they put their grievances with each other on hold and swarm the quintet]].

The Shinigami try to turn Shirou into the new Soul King while the Hollows try to stop them. The spirit of Excalibur unleashes the Garden of Avalon, which saves the worlds and she says it will be a new afterlife for all to enjoy.

* CloningBlues: Whenever Shirou Traces a weapon, a copy of its spirit inhabits his inner world. When this happens to Aizen's Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu, the copy of her spirit becomes very upset about this, especially since she has all the original's memories. From her perspective, she was happy in Aizen's inner world when she suddenly found herself in an unfamiliar inner world surrounded by several other spirits.

* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler:Yhwach is one to Shirou. They have similar origin stories and powers, and both [[SuperEmpowering granted power]] to their followers. Shirou has no ambition, treats his followers as TrueCompanions, and only wants to help and protect people.

Both of them have commented on their similarities and differences. In fact, due to their similarities, Yhwach mistakenly believes Shirou is his brother.]]
