“	Wielding one's blade out of duty alone is what it means to be a captain. Wielding one's blade out of hatred is nothing more than petty violence. That is not what we would consider battle.	„

Name: Toshiro Hitsugaya

Origin: Bleach

Gender: Male

Age: At least 50 years old (Momo's childhood friend before entering the academy)

Classification: Soul Reaper, Captain of the 10th Division

Powers and Abilities:

• Base
• Adult Toshiro

• Soul Physiology & Soul Reaper Physiology (Soul: High-Tier/Soul Reaper: High-Tier)
  • Passive Temperature Manipulation (Toshiro's Reiatsu causes coldness, to the point of creating ice and freezing others around him to the point of near-death)
• Master Swordsmanship (As a captain of the Gotei 13, Toshiro is extremely skilled in the art of swordsmanship, having spent decades training the craft specifically. His status as a prodigy is reflected in his swordsmanship as he is able to fight opponents far more experienced and more physically imposing than himself. Such skill allows Toshiro to fight on par with other similarly skilled opponents like Tier Harribel or Gerard Valkyrie. Superior to master swordsmen of lower ranks in the Gotei 13 such as Renji Abarai and Ikkaku Madarame.)
• Kidō:
  • Barrier Creation & Attack Reflection (Kyōmon generates a barrier which causes outside attacks to be deflected off of it and back onto the opponent, Toshiro can create barriers of ice with Hyorinmaru)
• Hyōrinmaru:
  • Weather Manipulation, Ice Manipulation & Water Manipulation (Toshiro's Zanpakutō's main ability is the manipulation and creation of ice, this creation can be done in a few ways like generating ice through the blade of the sword or by manipulating the water particles in the atmosphere around him, with such control over water and ice Toshiro can even manipulate the weather around him, usually causing it to condense and fill the sky with dark clouds, said clouds can also release ice snowflakes from within, which instantly freeze anything that it touches, even beings that are largely stronger then Toshiro like Tier Harribel are completely helpless against this attack)
  • Limited Durability Negation (Toshiro can freeze someone to the bone with his maximum output, contextually this was against someone who was massively stronger then Toshiro so this shouldn't necessarily be assumed he'd need his maximum output against weaker opponents then himself)
  • Sealing (Toshiro can seal away his opponents within Hyōrinmaru's ice)
  • Zanhyō Ningyō:
    • Duplication (Toshiro can create an exact replica of himself with his ability to manipulate ice, this clone is so realistic that when cut, causes blood to spill from the wound despite the fact said clone is purely made of ice)
  • Gunchō Tsurara:
    • Danmaku (Toshiro creates tens of icicle shards that he sends out to his enemies to impale them)
• Bankai: Daiguren Hyōrinmaru
  • Limited Regeneration (Toshiro can endlessly regenerate his Bankai as long there's water/moisture around him)
  • Limited Body Control (Toshiro can control the movements of his tail while in Bankai)
  • Healing (Toshiro can dress wounds through freezing them with his ice)

Resistance to:

• Ice Manipulation & Low Temperatures (Toshiro can resist the coldness of his own ice)

All previous abilities on a much greater degree plus:

• Enhanced Ice Manipulation & Sealing (Toshiro's ability to create and manipulate ice has greatly increased, allowing him to instantly flash freeze things with a wave of his hand)
• Power Nullification (Toshiro's ice has the effect of "freezing" powers and abilities)
• Likely Absolute Zero & Limited Durability Negation (Toshiro's ice while in his adult form causes the movement within matter to halt, which is a common effect of Absolute Zero, this is also compounded on by the fact Hyōrinmaru is narratively the strongest ice Zanpakutō within Soul Society, placing it above Rukia's Sode no Shirayuki which manipulates the temperature around her to generate ice, with said ice being able to reach Absolute Zero levels of coldness)
• Enhanced Non-Physical Interaction (Element & Energy; Shikai Hyōketsu freezes the four elements [earth, water, fire and wind] in the space that the opponent currently occupies, this even froze Gerard's Heilig Bogen which is entirely composed of energy)
• Enhanced Aura (Explosive; Toshiro's aura while an adult has greatly increased, causing anyone or anything that tries to touch him to become frozen)

Likely Resistance to:

• Absolute Zero & Power Nullification (Toshiro while in his adult form passively exudes temperatures that are equal to the one's generated by his ice)

Attack Potency: At most Country level (Possesses combined Attack and Spiritual Pressure stats above Gin, wields the strongest ice-type Zanpakuto, and managed to harm Gin) | At most Country level (At least as strong as before), likely Large Country level with Sennen Hyoro (Toshiro implies this technique is superior to the combined might of eight tentacles from Luppi) | Country level (Stronger than before, clashed with a casual Harribel), at most Multi-Continent level with Bankai (Toshiro's Bankai ice is able to match Harribel's water attacks, albeit this likely possible because his ability to freeze the water grants him some sort of elemental advantage) | At least Large Country level+ (Stronger than before, diced through Yukio's Invaders Must Die and is capable of parrying away Cāng Dōu's attacks, gaining the upper hand in their exchange.), Multi-Continent level with Bankai (Stronger than before) | Multi-Continent level (Toshiro trains after losing his Bankai, Mayuri finds Toshiro troublesome and Giselle heavily implies Toshiro is stronger than zombie Bambietta, because Toshiro was turned into a zombie while alive, he retained his physical stats when alive, he beat down Charlotte, and clashed evenly with Mayuri), higher with Daiguren Hyōrinmaru (Kills Mayuri) | Multi-Continent level (Could freeze and cleave through a Vollständig Gerard's Hoffnung, while Kenpachi could barely nick a God Size Gerard's Hoffnung even with his Shikai and eyepatch removed)

Speed: High Hypersonic (Dodged Gin's Shinsō at point-blank range. At 20% of his power he could keep up with Shawlong Koufang) | Massively Hypersonic (Faster than Resurrección Luppi) | Massively Hypersonic (Kept up with Tier Harribel) | Massively Hypersonic (Superior to his Pre-Timeskip self after training) | At least Massively Hypersonic (Able to keep up with Gerard) | At least Massively Hypersonic (Far superior to before) 

Lifting Strength: Class M (Was able to restrain Gin Ichimaru with his ice and chain), Class T with Weather Manipulation (Able to pull in storms from a 3 Li radius.) | Class K (Stronger than before), Class T with Weather Manipulation | Class M (Clashed with Harribel, his ice is strong enough to restrain her), Class T with Weather Manipulation | At least Class M (Stronger than before), Class T with Weather Manipulation | At least Class M (Even stronger than before), Class T with Ice Manipulation (Was able to stop a huge chunk of Wahr Welt from falling) and Weather Manipulation | At least Class M (Far stronger than before), Class T with Ice Manipulation and Weather Manipulation

Striking Strength: At most Country level (Should be comparable to his Attack Potency, and the databooks imply he shouldn't be weaker than Gin) | At most Country level (At least as strong as before) | Country level (Stronger than before) | At least Large Country level+ (Stronger than before, cut through Invaders Must Die with his sword strikes, Parried Cāng Dōu's strikes and is capable of breaking his own ice) | Multi-Continent level (Clashed physically with Mayuri, comparable to his Attack Potency) | Multi-Continent level

Durability: At most Country level (Should be comparable to his Attack Potency, Toshiro can also use his ice to defend himself) | Country level (Blocked an attack from Resurreccion Luppi) | Country level (At least as strong as before, should be comparable to his Attack Potency), Continent level+ with Bankai (Blocked an attack from a serious Harribel) | At least Large Country level+ (Stronger than before, can withstand and block strikes from Cāng Dōu and pushed him to using Daiguren Hyourinmaru), at least Continent level+ with Bankai (Stronger than before) | Multi-Continent level (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as he can withstand clashing with Mayuri), higher with Daiguren Hyōrinmaru | Multi-Continent level (Took attacks from Gerard)

Stamina: Superhuman (Survived attacks of Shawlong Qufang while at 20% of his actual strength, has been shown fighting in spite of grievous injuries)

Range: Tens of Meters, Tens of Kilometers via Environmental Destruction

Standard Equipment: His Zanpakutō: Hyōrinmaru

Intelligence: Perhaps the most astonishing trait of Toshiro is his intellect and natural talent. He is the most gifted prodigy the Soul Society has had since Gin Ichimaru, entering the Soul Reaper Academy on his first try despite his young age, graduating from the academy in a single year with the highest written and performance scores in each of his classes, joining the Gotei 13 shortly afterwards, and then becoming the youngest Soul Reaper to ever reach the rank of captain. He has been called many things due to this. Renji and Iba have called him a child genius, and Ichimaru has called him the embodiment of the "heavenly white angel that blesses Soul Society once a century". In terms of intellect, Toshiro is equally impressive. He was the first to suspect Ichimaru of treason, and saw that there was more to Rukia's execution than what was being said. Shunsui, one of the strongest Soul Reaper in history, states that because he is a genius, within 100 years, Toshiro could surpass him. Despite his age, Toshiro has great instinct and intuition in battle. He is generally aware of everything in his presence, and is also able to see through most deceptions. For example, he discerned that Gin Ichimaru was more than he seemed, although he was not yet sharp enough to realize it was all part of Aizen's plot. As a captain, he is a capable leader. He is given missions from Captain-Commander Yamamoto to lead teams into the Human World many times to deal with threats. For example, Toshiro led the team sent by Soul Society that reinforced Ichigo's group against the Arrancar. In battle, he has great instincts against incoming danger, such as from his reaction to Harribel's initial attack after releasing. After losing his Bankai to the Sternritter Cāng Dōu, Toshiro was forced to come up with several creative and unorthodox methods of using his limited Shikai capabilities, such as combining his Zanpakutō powers with Matsumoto's Haineko to create vacuum ice blades, creating a wall made of thin, interwoven ice threads and even generating a field of icy mist.

Weaknesses: Hyōrinmaru is useless if there is intense heat in the air, as Toshiro cannot use its techniques without having moisture in the air. The amount of ice that Toshiro can use in Hyōrinmaru's Shikai is very small compared to its Bankai. Can be short-tempered at times, though this is mitigated after the timeskip.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Hyōrinmaru Tensō Jūrin Shinkū Tasō Hyōheki Shinkū Kōri Yaiba Ryōjin Hyōheki Rokui Hyōketsujin 1/6 Hyōrinmaru (氷ひょう輪丸りんまる): Hyōrinmaru allows Toshiro to control water and ice to the point that he can make ice dragons shoot out of his sword to freeze anything it fires upon. Tensō Jūrin (天相てんそう従じゅう臨りん): Toshiro can control the weather around his area to an extent thanks to manipulating the water in the air. Shinkū Tasō Hyōheki (真空しんくう多た層そう氷ひょう壁へき): Toshiro can use his ice as a shield to block any incoming fire attacks, however it's possible once fusing the ice he manipulates into Rangiku's sword in its Shikai state. Shinkū Kōri Yaiba (真空しんくう氷刃こおりやいば) This ability allows Toshiro to control his Shinkū Tasō Hyōheki technique and manipulate the ice by gathering it at the tip of Hyōrinmaru before expelling it forward, creating a large blade of ice which impales his opponent. Ryōjin Hyōheki (綾りょう陣じん氷ひょう壁へき): Toshiro generates a protective wall of ice by finely weaving threads of ice together. Rokui Hyōketsujin (六ろく衣い氷ひょう結陣けつじん): Toshiro can lay down a trap by placing five snowflake-shaped ice crystals on the ground in a pentagonal formation that he can use as a trap for his foes as a last ditch effort. Daiguren Hyōrinmaru Toshiro regenerating his Bankai Zanhyō Ningyō Toshiro blocking Luppi's attack Ryūsenka Sennen Hyōrō Hyōten Hyakkasō Guncho Tsurara Hyōryū Senbi and Zekku Toshiro's Bankai true form Shikai Hyōketsu Toshiro Flash-Freezing Gerard's Shield 1/12 Bankai: Daiguren Hyōrinmaru (卍解ばんかい『大だい紅ぐ蓮れん氷ひょう輪丸りんまる』): Much like his Shikai, Toshiro can freeze objects and areas, though the radius and strength of the freezing is greater, it also has the additional benefit of regenerating its lost ice. Zanhyō Ningyō (残ざん氷ひょう人にん形ぎょう) Toshiro can create a perfect ice clone to avoid any incoming lethal blows, however it can be only used once. Shield of Ice Wings: Toshiro is capable of wrapping his wings around himself like a sphere, protecting him from attacks. Ryūsenka (龍りゅう霰せん架か): When Toshiro stabs his opponents, a huge burst of ice erupts from the point of contact between Hyōrinmaru and the opponents, encasing and freezing them. Toshiro then proceeds to shatter the ice, and his opponent with it. Sennen Hyōrō (千年せんねん氷ひょう牢ろう): Toshiro creates many ice pillars, which encircle him and his enemy. At his command (when he turns his sword 90 degrees counter-clockwise), these pillars then move towards the enemy, enveloping and crushing them. Though this technique is very powerful, Toshiro infers that it takes a considerable amount of time to prepare, and therefore the distraction of his enemy is crucial in successfully completing this attack. Hyōten Hyakkasō (氷ひょう天てん百ひゃっ華か葬そう): Toshiro can incase his opponents with giant ice flowers, and can end their life once the 100th pedal has fallen. Gunchō Tsurara (群ぐん鳥ちょう氷柱つらら): Toshiro freezes water into ice and then swings his Zanpakutō in an arc, firing an array of ice daggers at his target. Hyōryū Senbi (氷ひょう龍りゅう旋せん尾び): With this technique, Toshiro swings his sword in a linear direction and creates overflowing ice from his blade in the form of a crescent. Zekku (絶空ぜっくう): This ability allows Toshiro to control his Hyōryū Senbi technique and send it up into the air. Kyōmon 1/1 Flash-Freezing: In his true Bankai, Toshiro can flash-freeze extremely large objects at a distance with a simple hand gesture; this also extends to objects that his sword cuts. Additionally, anything that he freezes will have all of its functions and abilities negated. If anyone touches Toshiro while he is in this form, they will be flash-frozen as well. Shikai Hyōketsu (四し界かい氷ひょう結けつ): In his matured form, Toshiro can freeze all matter in front of him within 4 steps. Kidō (鬼き道どう): Kyōmon (鏡きょう門もん): Toshiro can create a transparent barrier to ward off any intruders, however it's not combat applicable as it's mostly used to hide those incapable of fighting.
