“ | 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: Shinigami, Captain of the 10th Division
Powers and Abilities:
- Soul Physiology & Shinigami Physiology (Soul: High-Tier/Shinigami: High-Tier)
- Expert Swordsmanship (As a captain of the Gotei 13, Toshiro is extremely skilled in the art of swordsmanship, having spent decades training the craft specifically, such skill allows Toshiro to fight on par with other similarly skilled opponents like Tier Harribel[2] or Gerard Valkyrie[3])
- Kido:
- Hyōrinmaru:
- Weather Manipulation, Ice Manipulation & Water Manipulation (Toshiro's Zanpaktou's main ability is the manipulation and creation of ice[6], this creation can be done in a few ways like generating ice through the blade of the sword[6] or by manipulating the water particles in the atmosphere around him[7], 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[8], which instantly freeze anything that it touches, even beings that are largely stronger then Toshiro like Tier Harribel are completely helpless against this attack[8])
- Limited Durability Negation (Toshiro can freeze someone to the bone with his maximum output[9], contextually this was against someone who was massively stronger then Toshiro[10] so this shouldn't necessarily be assumed he'd need his maximum output against weaker opponents then himself[9])
- Sealing (Toshiro can seal away his opponents[8] within Hyōrinmaru's ice[11])
- Zanhyō Ningyō:
- Gunchō Tsurara:
- Bankai: Daiguren Hyōrinmaru
Resistance to:
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[11])
- Likely Absolute Zero & Limited Durability Negation (Toshiro's Ice while in his adult form causes the movement within matter to halt[11], which is a common effect of Absolute Zero, this is also compounded on by the fact[13] Hyōrinmaru is narratively[7] the strongest ice Zanpakutō within Soul Society[6], placing it above Rukia's Sode no Shirayuki which manipulates the temperature around her to generate ice[17], with said ice being able to reach Absolute Zero levels of coldness[18])
- Enhanced Non-Physical Interaction (Elemental & Energy - Shikai Hyōketsu freezes the four elements (earth, water, fire and wind) in the space that the opponent currently occupies[11], this even froze Gerard's Heilig Bogen which is entirely composed of energy[11])
- Enhanced Aura (Explosive - Toshiro's aura while an adult has greatly increased, causing anyone or anything that tries to touch him to become frozen[19])
Likely Resistance to:
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[21][22][23] [Statistics Values 1]) | At most Country level (At least as strong as before [Statistics Values 2]), likely Large Country level with Sennen Hyoro (Toshiro implies this technique is superior to the combined might of eight tentacles from Luppi[24]) | Country level (Stronger than before, clashed with a casual Harribel[25] [Statistics Values 3]), 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[26][27] [Statistics Values 4]) | At least Country level (Stronger than before, diced through Yukio's Invaders Must Die[28][29][30] [Statistics Values 5]), Multi-Continent level with Bankai (Stronger than before [Statistics Values 6]) | Multi-Continent level (Toshiro trains after losing his Bankai[31], Mayuri finds Toshiro troublesome[32], Giselle implies Toshiro is stronger than zombie Bambietta[33], because Toshiro was turned into a zombie while alive, he retained his physical stats when alive[34], he beat down Charlotte[35], and clashed evenly with Mayuri[36][Statistics Values 7]), higher with Daiguren Hyōrinmaru (Kills Mayuri[37]) | 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[6] and chain[6] [Statistics Values 8]), Class T with Weather Manipulation | 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 (Stopped a falling city) 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 Country level (Stronger than before, cut through Invaders Must Die with his sword strikes) | 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 [Statistics Values 9]) | Country level (Blocked an attack from Resurreccion Luppi[38] [Statistics Values 10]) | Country level (At least as strong as before, should be comparable to his Attack Potency [Statistics Values 11]), Continent level+ with Bankai (Blocked an attack from a serious Harribel[39] [Statistics Values 12]) | At least Country level (Stronger than before [Statistics Values 13]), at least Continent level+ with Bankai (Stronger than before[Statistics Values 14]) | Multi-Continent level (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as he can withstand clashing with Mayuri[Statistics Values 15]), higher with Daiguren Hyōrinmaru | Multi-Continent level (Took attacks from Gerard)
Stamina: Superhuman (Survived attacks of Shawlong Koufang 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 Shinigami 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 Shinigami 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 Shinigami 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 Cang Du, 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 moist 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.
