As the fight continues, Haschwalth releases his Schrift "The Balance" to quickly finish off Uryū. However, explaining his 'A' Schrift is "The Antithesis", Uryū reverses the damage to Haschwalth as he realizes the power can harm Yhwach. Haschwalth uses his power to cripple Uryū when he attempts to leave with this knowledge, noting the youth's tenacity before preparing to impale him while stating that Uryū is simply a human desperately clinging to his own beliefs. Later in the fight, Uryū manages to dodge Haschwalth's stab at the last minute before noting Haschwalth's comparison of him to his friends. Admitting that he has tried to remain calm and weigh his actions on scales up until this point, Uryū states that he cannot help but follow Ichigo's lead because he will help someone without question, which he notes is also true for Orihime, Chad, Renji, and Rukia. When Uryū claims that he would feel great joy if he began to resemble any one of them, Haschwalth dismisses his emotions before explaining that he was referring to Uryū's growth. Haschwalth highlights that the single moment where Yhwach granted him power gave him far more growth than all the years he spent with his friends and that it is more logical for him to side with Yhwach because of this. However, Uryū states that he chose to side with them not because it would benefit him, but because they were his friends. Angered by this, Haschwalth notes that Uryū never expected to give up anything in return for being taken in by Yhwach before declaring that Uryū will give Yhwach his life, only to be quickly interrupted when an Auswählen beam envelops him, surprising both him and Uryū.
