Who is hitsugaya toushiro

The scene suddenly shifts to the beginning of their fight, perplexing Hitsugaya, but he goes ahead and cuts Mayuri down another time. The same event repeats, and Mayuri maliciously mentions that the Squad 10 captain is experiencing the influence of one of his various chemical cocktails.

Thankfully, Hitsugaya's misery ends soon enough. Mayuri ultimately defeats Giselle, and transports Hitsugaya and Matsumoto into a container-like device that is supposed to remove the effects of the Quincy's Zombification. Unfortunately, this technique has an unavoidable side-effect: reducing the "patient's" lifespan. However, Mayuri prefers to save Hitsugaya and accepts the consequences on his behalf. Unsurprisingly, Hitsugaya grateful for having been saved. Hitsugaya and Byakuya team up to fight Gerard Valkyrie, whose Miracle Schrift is proving a real thorn in their sides.

Thankfully, they get a moment of respite when Kenpachi interrupts the battle with his newly acquired shikai and bankai. The Squad 11 captain is soon defeated ironically by exerting too much reiatsu for his body to handle , and the other two captains are forced to shift gears rapidly when Gerard activates Aschetonig. Taking this entity on requires Hitsugaya to confirm something that many fans had theorized for a long time. When Byakuya — after watching Hitsugaya's "timer" petals fade — asks him to revert into shikai state and conserve energy.

However, Hitsugaya tells him that the timer doesn't imply a loss of reiatsu but the exact opposite. He is converted into an adult version of himself, and his bankai, Daiguren Hyorinmaru, receives a massive power augmentation. Hitsugaya reveals that his normal strength isn't enough to wield the full force of his bankai, explaining his physical transformation. Toshiro is shown to be easily annoyed by others goofing off or drawing unneeded attention to themselves, as shown when he leads a team of Shinigami into Ichigo Kurosaki 's school.

Hitsugaya hates anything that he deems childish as well as being described as something close to a child, such as an elementary school child, a further contrast to his appearance. He is also mistaken for a kid in several of the omake chapters, much to his annoyance.

He is overly protective of Momo Hinamori , due to the fact that they were old childhood friends. Hitsugaya dislikes summer and warm weather in general. Hitsugaya is usually joked about by many of the other Shinigami in Soul Society as well as by his enemies. Despite these jokes, or perhaps because of them, Hitsugaya has developed a cold attitude toward most people; he tolerates these jokes and goes on with his duties.

Although he has shown anger toward jokes, he doesn't take action against whomever insulted him unless they are his enemies, but has never overreacted because of them. The only thing he can't tolerate is not being addressed as "Captain Hitsugaya," or an inappropriate use of his name, as he worked very hard for the title so he gets angry when not addressed as such.

Coincidentally, though, he does not address any other officer with their title, only their last names. The only people that actually call him by his given name are Ichigo, who is constantly reminded to address him properly, and Hinamori, who is the only person allowed to get away with it. Hinamori tends to call him "Hitsugaya" and both she and Ukitake occasionally use "Shiro" - a nickname meaning "Whitey" in reference to his hair — in both cases without any repercussion.

Toshiro's serious and mature personality might have a few changes, due to his complicated relationship with Karin Kurosaki , Ichigo's younger sister and the second Substitute Shinigami. It has been surmised by many fans that Toshiro may have some romantic interest in Karin Kurosaki, but it has also been noted that many of their interactions are within the fillers.

Hyorinmaru Ice Ring - When in its sealed state, Hyorinmaru looks like a normal katana with the exception of the guard, which is in the shape of a four-pointed bronze-colored star.

Its hilt is light blue, and the sheath matches this in a dark blue color. The sheath has been shown to completely dissolve when he draws his sword, suggesting it is part of Hyorinmaru's design.

The sword is somewhat longer than most Zanpakuto, at about one-and-a-half meters long. This makes it taller than Hitsugaya, preventing him from wearing it at the hip. When Rangiku starts to drunkenly pester him, he sighs and decides he's had enough, considering the whole venture a failure. He turns to leave, advising Rukia that he is leaving it to her to see that the lights are turned out and the party is her responsibility.

When he leaves, he is followed by the drunken Rangiku who tells him she wants to drink some more, agitating him further. After meeting up with Ichigo and explaining the situation, they go off to search for the berserk swords.

To his annoyance, Rangiku decides to follow him to help and exploit the chance to have fun in the Human World. While Ichigo holds off its Cero, Hitsugaya finishes it off by freezing and shattering it. Inaba reports on Dangai traffic at Hitsugaya's request. He asks them to report that and leaves.

He later contacts Rangiku via her Denreishinki and criticizes her for not making regular progress reports. When she informs him that they are finished, he orders her to return, further complaining about her behavior.

The following evening, Hitsugaya tells Akon that he has not been able to contact Nanao and Rangiku since they stated that they were returning, requesting to see if there is a record of them passing through the Dangai. Inaba reveals that there is no record of the pair returning through the Dangai.

Along with Ukitake and Shunsui, he informs Yamamoto of the situation. When Mayuri suggests that they must be in the Human World, Hitsugaya remarks that it is hard to believe they would stay without contacting them, suggesting that the SRDI missed something. The meeting is interrupted by the news that Nanao and Rangiku have returned, who insist that only three hours have passed since their disappearance.

In a captains meeting later, Hitsugaya listens as Mayuri reveals that there is a time gap between the Human World and Soul Society. Mayuri requests that a detailed study be carried out and Hitsugaya is ordered to assist, along with Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji Abarai.

Having failed to meet up with Mayuri in the Dangai, the three emerge from a Senkaimon to be informed that contact was lost with the Dangai and a state of emergency declared.

They bring an item that they found near the rendezvous site to Yamamoto. Later, when Ichigo arrives in Soul Society, Hitsugaya and other senior Shinigami arrest him as a material witness. Later, Hitsugaya arrives in the Human World with other members of the Gotei 13 to help in the fight against Inaba. Hitsugaya confronts Kenpachi about being late before they enter the Senkaimon.

While there, Inaba speeds up the restrictive current forcing Komamura to stay behind using his Bankai. The remaining three captains split up and head towards the Twelfth Division barracks separately.

As Hitsugaya runs along the rooftops of Seireitei, he runs into Momo Hinamori. Shocked to see her about, he stops and goes to see her. She looks up at him with a sweet smile using his nick name 'Shiro-chan' she then goes on to explain of how she woke up in the 12th Division to find everyone gone and appears to be very vulnerable and scared. Hitsugaya states that she should keep safe from the battles that are going on around them she reassures him she is okay before stumbling.

Hitsugaya manages to catch her before she falls off the roof and Hinamori apologizes before drawing her sword. Hitsugaya swiftly blocks it and notices her bracelet. She asks him if he is going to try and kill her again, bringing back memories of the battle against Aizen for Hitsugaya. She stabs him in the stomach before chasing after Hitsugaya as he refuses to attack her or protect himself.

Soon, another Hinamori appears claiming that it was unforgivable to hurt Shiro-chan. Hitsugaya watches as they fight each other.

Confused as to which is the real Hinamori, Hitsugaya steps between the two of them and is stabbed by both of them. Hitsugaya thanks her before he takes off. An injured Hitsugaya later enters a building and notices Kenpachi arriving behind him.

As they comment on the fate of the other captains, Inaba confronts them. Hitsugaya informs him that they have destroyed most of his invading force and demands to know just who he is.

As Inaba releases his Shikai, Hitsugaya notices that he cannot sense any Reiatsu from it. Kenpachi charges in, much to Hitsugaya's annoyance. Hitsugaya joins in the fight, telling Kenpachi that he will not allow him to fight Inaba alone. Shortly after the fight starts, Hitsugaya stands back and contemplates the situation.

When Kenpachi charges at Inaba, Hitsugaya yells at him that the scientist is waiting for something. Inaba creates a portal to the Dangai between him and Kenpachi. Hitsugaya uses his Shikai to attack from range, but Inaba creates another portal to block the attack. When Hitsugaya switches to fighting from a distance, Inaba opens a portal from which Hitsugaya's own ice attacks emerge, knocking him down.

Inaba reveals that he can record and recreate any space. He states that he earlier recorded Hitsugaya's attacks. However, Inaba spins his blade to the left to recreate one of Kenpachi's attacks, which injures Hitsugaya. Despite the arrival of several Reigai, they engage in battle. However, his body dissipates and he reappears, immediately attacking and injuring them all. As Hitsugaya listens to Mayuri and Inaba's conversation, he witnesses Inaba attacking one of his Reigai allies.

From its remains, Inaba picks up a red pill. Hitsugaya asks if it is a Gikon , but Mayuri reveals that it is a Modified Soul.

When Inaba releases the full power of the Reigai and more Reigai appear, including those that had already been defeated, Mayuri explains that as long as their core form, the pill, is preserved, their bodies can be replaced.

The captains are attacked by the Reigai, with Hitsugaya once again being attacked by the Reigai of Byakuya.

Later, Hitsugaya along with Yoruichi and the other captain return in time to aid Ichigo and Kisuke from their Reigai pursuers. Hitsugaya quickly confronts his Reigai counterpart. It is quickly made clear that the Reigai has the advantage over the young captain as Hitsugaya is a forced back hard. While Reigai-Hitsugaya surmises that Hitsugaya won't retreat as a matter of pride, he tells the Reigai he won't because it is his duty as a captain of the Gotei Eventually, the Shinigami lieutenants return and aid their respective captains with Rangiku aiding Hitsugaya.

Despite this assistance, the Reigai still pressure the Shinigami. Byakuya Kuchiki then realizes the truth behind the Reigai's battle style: they value self-preservation the most and won't attack first in fear of being outnumbered.

Realizing this to be true, Hitsugaya begins mocking them, asking the Reigai if they are willing to strike at anyone first in fear of group counterattack. Before the Shinigami can, the Reigai step forward, saying that they will stop their fellow Mod Soul's chaotic plan as their goal has always been to protect the Soul Society in their own way.

Reigai then destroy the technique at the cost of their own lives. However, Renji calls out to him then and reveals the presence of himself and other Shinigami, including Hitsugaya, who are observing the situation from the side.

Renji explains that everyone of them had given some of their Reiatsu to the sword before Rukia had stabbed Ichigo, thus allowing him to regain more of his powers. After Ichigo learns of how Yamamoto ordered that the Gotei 13 captains and lieutenants to help restore his powers, Hitsugaya says that Yamamoto would not have done that in the past, but Ichigo changed that.

He says the power Ichigo received is the result of the way he changed Soul Society by fighting and that he should accept these new powers proudly. He tells Ikkaku to keep his guard up. Yukio says that Hitsugaya is good and if he wants bonus points for that to which he says no thanks. As Yukio separates everyone into chat rooms, Hitsugaya is paired with Yukio himself.

While he handles them with ease, he voices how annoyed he is to fight someone so "tiresome". He ultimately reaches Yukio, who congratulates him for arriving unscathed. Yukio explains his Fullbring's power to Hitsugaya, bragging how it makes him god of this space. He then creates giant monsters, setting them to relentlessly pursue and attack Hitsugaya. Hitsugaya begins dodging them with relative ease, only for Yukio to mock him saying that as a captain he must have had a loving, elite family.

Hitsugaya surmises from Yukio's attitude that he was probably abandoned as child and questions him about it. As Yukio furiously explains how he left his parents and caused his father to kill himself, Hitsugaya sneaks up on Yukio and freezes his legs and controllers.

Hitsugaya reminds him that he had set the monsters to attack him relentlessly, as they surround Hitsugaya, who is standing next to Yukio, he tells him that it'd be best if he deactivated them. Hitsugaya destroys the monsters before they touch Yukio. While Yukio was surprised that Hitsugaya saved him, Hitsugaya tells him that he didn't show him mercy; he simply saved him because there was no guarantee the dimension would disappear if Yukio died.

He proceeds to freeze Yukio's body save for his right arm and head, telling him that in exchange for disabling his Fullbring within 5 minutes, he will spare his life.

Upon seeing Byakuya with an unconscious Rukia, Yukio tells him that he doesn't know what happened to her opponent , and that he only knows her basic powers. Hitsugaya then demands of him to turn off the last pocket dimension, but Yukio answers him by saying he is unable to do it. As Hitsugaya and the others turn to leave, Byakuya reminds Rukia that they were only tasked with observing Ichigo and his decision. But when they encountered Ichigo, Soul Society changed and they restored his powers and went to watch over him instead.

He reminds Rukia of her reaction to being told to observe Ichigo and acknowledges that she was correct. Hitsugaya loses his Bankai to Cang Du. Hitsugaya attends a captain meeting where he is informed about Wandenreich 's infiltration, and is ordered to prepare for war alongside other captains. Despite the fighting between the others, Hitsugaya remains silent throughout the ordeal.

Later, upon the Wandenreich's return, Hitsugaya appears on the battlefield alongside Matsumoto just in time to protect several Shinigami from Bazz-B 's fire-based attack, using his own ice-powers to create a protective barrier. He introduces himself as "The Heat," and notes how nice a match it is for them to face each other. Hitsugaya and Rangiku begin to battle, but Bazz-B has an easy time melting Hitsugaya's thin ice.

However, after he and Rangiku initiate their strategy, Bazz-B is rendered unable to melt the ice walls entirely. Hitsugaya explains how he managed to do that to a confused Bazz-B. Hitsugaya then uses the ice to slash and wound Bazz-B. Hitsugaya is struck by Bazz-B's Burner Finger 2. Hitsugaya attempts to fight back, but to no avail. He is then shocked by Bazz-B's elaboration on his powers and how he was strong enough to protect himself and two other Sternritter from Yamamoto's flames.

Hitsugaya continues the attack, but realizing that Bazz-B is too powerful, he orders Rangiku to retreat while he holds off Bazz-B. Hitsugaya sets up a barrier made with fine ice, but Bazz-B easily breaks through it and blasts a hole through Hitsugaya. Hitsugaya attempts to fight off Bazz-B, but fails at every turn. He tries another trap, but is shocked to see Bazz-B quickly break free from it.

Much of his upper body is then blasted away by Bazz-B's attack. Cang Du then arrives to finish Hitsugaya off. He then witnesses Cang activating his own Bankai. Hitsugaya then receives a Shin'eiyaku , which he takes, causing his Bankai to break and wound Cang. As he regains part of the ice wing that Cang lost, Hitsugaya states he doesn't know, and that maybe his Bankai just wants to come back to him.

Cang begins to attack and points out that the Sternritter are taught to control the Bankai they have stolen. He attempts to attack Hitsugaya with ice but it redirects itself before reaching him. Hitsugaya tells him not to overdo it as it can't attack itself. As he continues to attack Cang notes that Hitsugaya has used the tactic as well previously and should stop talking as if Bankai have a soul. As Cang is encased in a giant cross-shaped flower, he apologizes for not making it a pentagram.

The next day, Hitsugaya is called upon by Giselle Gewelle during her battle with Mayuri Kurotsuchi and his team of revived Arrancar, having been turned into one of her zombies. Hitsugaya slashes him across the back before attacking again, only for Yumichika to block his sword. However, Hitsugaya creates a spike of ice on his kneecap and knees Yumichika in the abdomen before slashing him across the chest.

When Mayuri comments on how his body is moving the same way it did when he was alive, Hitsugaya slashes at him, but Mayuri moves behind him with Shunpo. However, Hitsugaya merely slashes him across the chest in response. After Mayuri suggests that Hitsugaya help him test some medicines, the two captains exchange blows. Hitsugaya responds by trying to knee Mayuri, but he blocks this. As Mayuri suggests that he had been goading Hitsugaya in to such an act, he injures the young captain's leg.

Hitsugaya then activates his Bankai and cuts Mayuri down. However, a confused Hitsugaya finds himself back at the start of their battle, with Mayuri again commenting that he will use his medicine on him.

He attacks Mayuri again and quickly uses his Bankai to kill Mayuri, only to find himself reliving the encounter once again. When he questions what is happening, Mayuri explains that he is under the effects of his medicine, which is allowing him to see the future. Every time he kills Mayuri, he will return to a set point in the past. The only way Hitsugaya can avoid repeating this forever is to not kill him. Mayuri notes that the drug is incomplete and has serious side-effects after ten rounds, leaving him without a sense of balance for about thirty seconds.

Mayuri then asks when he administered the medicine and swings his blade down on Hitsugaya, saying he should find out on his next trip back in time. As Mayuri explains it causes him discomfort to use such a drug on a defenseless foe, Hitsugaya screams for him to stop, prompting Mayuri to state that it makes it easier to see him fight back with words.

The revived Arrancar attack the zombified individuals as Mayuri watches a screaming Hitsugaya. Following his victory over Giselle, Mayuri takes an injured Hitsugaya and, along with Rangiku, places him in a special container that will allow them to de-zombify and recover from the battle.

This comes at a cost of shortening their lifespans but the scientist decides that the cost is worth getting their lives back. When the rest of the surviving Shinigami travel to the Soul King Palace , Hitsugaya and Rangiku are still recuperating but their capsules are brought along for the trip by Nemu Kurotsuchi.

Following the battle with Pernida Parnkgjas , the matter of their survival is revealed to Ikkaku and Yumichika by an injured Mayuri who instructs them to release Hitsugaya and Rangiku from the containers.

Hitsugaya stands up, recovered but with his lifespan reduced and quietly thanks Mayuri for returning him to normal. Later, as an enormous Gerard Valkyrie is attempting to crush the surrounding area in order to kill all the Shinigami, Hitsugaya freezes his right arm in place before telling him to stay there for all eternity. Gerard breaks free of the ice, forcing Hitsugaya to come up with another plan. Gerard attempts to attack Hitsugaya, but his strike is blocked by Byakuya, who states that Hitsugaya could not hope to take on the Quincy alone.

Hitsugaya attempts joking with Byakuya, but gets annoyed as his fellow captain only half-heartedly reacts. Gerard attacks them again, but Kenpachi arrives and severs his arm, to Hitsugaya and Byakuya's dismay. When Kenpachi attempts to attack Gerard again, Hitsugaya intercepts his strike while berating him for not considering what might happen to the Seireitei below if Gerard falls on it from such a height.

Interrupted by Gerard stomping on them, Hitsugaya is shocked to see Kenpachi easily block and throw back the giant, and is further surprised when he releases his Shikai. Gerard explains the power of The Miracle , and Hitsugaya replies that he does not know what he is talking about but only knows that reason does not apply to the Quincy's power.

Kenpachi then jumped up and batted Hitsugaya into the ground, causing Hitsugaya to angrily ask what his problem was. Kenpachi tells him that he needs to stand down, and Byakuya silences Hitsugaya before he can retort.

Hitsugaya says that he cannot leave Kenpachi on his own, as Gerard was not someone he could take on alone as evidenced by the Shinigami removing his eyepatch. Hitsugaya notes that his ice petals are starting to melt away and that they were all at their limits. He then tells Byakuya that he will look for an opening and use all his power to freeze Gerard to the bone, after which Byakuya should smash him to pieces with Senbonzakura.

As Gerard overpowers Kenpachi, Hitsugaya and Byakuya begin their attack, but Gerard sees through their ploy and counters them. Hitsugaya and Byakuya are then blown away by Kenpachi suddenly activating Bankai, transforming him into a red-skinned being. Kenpachi rips off Gerard's arm and sends him flying off the edge of Wahrwelt , shocking Hitsugaya. Hitsugaya is then surprised to see Gerard grow wings on his back and fly back up to confront Kenpachi again. Hitsugaya is shocked as Kenpachi flips through the air and lets out a guttural roar, and he and Byakuya turn back to Gerard to see him reforming back into one piece.

Gerard, now with a new appearance, fires a blast from the tip of Hoffnung , which nearly engulfs Hitsugaya and Byakuya. However, he is sent crashing into the ground when Gerard swings Hoffnung and watches as Gerard overpowers Kenpachi.
