Bleach
Bleach is an ongoing manga series authored by mangaka Tite Kubo. Since its debut in 2001, Bleach has been adapted into an anime series, two OVAs , two anime films, a rock musical, and numerous video games. Compilation volumes of the manga have sold over 39 million copies in Japan.Bleach follows the lives of Ichigo Kurosaki, who is a high school student with the ability to see ghosts, and a shinigami (Soul Reaper or, literally, "death god") named Rukia Kuchiki , who crosses paths with Ichigo while hunting an evil spirit known as a hollow . Rukia is wounded during the ensuing confrontation with the spirit and is left with no choice but to transfer her powers into Ichigo. Thus the adventures of Ichigo and Rukia begin. Together they search for hollows and perform soul burials on wayward souls, cleansing the spirits and sending them to Soul Society . The early parts of the story focus mainly on the characters and their pasts, rather than the actual occupation of the shinigami. As events unfold, the story begins to delve deeper into the world of these gods of death on the "other side" called Soul Society.
Hitsugaya
Tshir Hitsugaya (շ {, Hitsugaya Tshir) is a character in the manga and anime series Bleach. He is the captain of the 10th Division in the Gotei 13. His lieutenant is Rangiku Matsumoto. He was recently voted the second most popular Bleach character after Ichigo Kurosaki in Shonen Jump's polls, replacing Rukia Kuchiki, who had previously held the position. He missed first place by less than 100 votes. Tshir Hitsugaya is very young by Soul Society standards. He is the youngest in generations to have become a captain and is thus called a "boy genius" by many. He is short (because of his age) and has white hair, which tends to draw attention in the human world. He wears standard captain's clothing without any accessories; however, he is the only shinigami that carries his zanpakut on his back aside from Ichigo Kurosaki, whose zanpakut necessitates such a style. Hitsugaya's short stature and the blade's length may explain the similar style. His sheath dissolves whenever he draws his sword. Hitsugaya is generally mature and serious, in contrast to his free-spirited lieutenant, Rangiku Matsumoto. Despite their philosophical differences, he and Rangiku seem to be very close. Hitsugaya hates anything that he deems "kiddie" or childish, a further contrast to his appearance. This is more shown in the omake chapters of Bleach, such as the short comics in VJump and the sand castle contest chapter released along with chapter 238. 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 fact that they were old childhood friends. Hitsugaya dislikes summer and warm weather in general. Hitsugaya is easily annoyed when anyone (especially Momo Hinamori) refers to him by anything other than his title, Captain Hitsugaya. Hinamori has called him by "Hitsugaya-kun," and both she and Ukitake have occasionally used "Shiro-chan" () a nickname meaning "Whitey" (Snowy in the English manga) in reference to his hair in both cases without repercussion, however. In the Shinigami Golden Cup sketches (omakes found at the end of episodes of Bleach), Jshir Ukitake comically gives Hitsugaya candy and other food because "Jshir" and "Tshir" sound similar and because they both have white hair, making them both "Shiro-chan." The first character in Hitsugaya's given name, Tshir, means "winter," which is appropriate given his white hair and ice type zanpakut. Ichigo also calls Hitsugaya by his given name despite Hitsugaya's protests, making him one of three captains Ichigo refers to in this manner (the others being Byakuya Kuchiki and Kenpachi Zaraki). Hitsugaya's intuition is extremely sharp, and he is one of few captains to correctly suspect Gin Ichimaru of foul play, though he understandably didn't suspect Ssuke Aizen of the same. During his duel with Gin Ichimaru in the anime, Ichimaru remarks that Hitsugaya is the embodiment of the heavenly guardian that is born into Soul Society every few centuries. This may explain his rapid growth and why he is a respected captain despite his age. Alternatively, Gin may have been speaking sarcastically, saying that Hitsugaya did not seem to live up to his title. His given name is also a homonym for a casual Japanese term meaning "amateur" (), possibly referring to Hitsugaya's young age and inexperience relative to the other captains of the Gotei 13.
Hyorinmaru
Hitsugaya's zanpakut is Hyrinmaru (݆, lit. Ice Ring). When sealed, Hyrinmaru looks almost exactly like a normal zanpakut with the exception of the guard, which is in the shape of a four-pointed star. The hilt and the sheath are also light-blue, which matches Hyrinmaru's abilities. Hyrinmaru's initial release command is "set upon the frozen heavens" (˪, sten ni zase, Viz: "reign over the frosted heavens"). Hyrinmaru is considered the strongest of all water-ice element zanpakut in Soul Society. In its initial release, Hyrinmaru itself remains the same, but gains a crescent-shaped blade attached to the hilt by a chain. Hyrinmaru allows Hitsugaya to control the weather, specifically water and ice. His slashes create an immense amount of spirit power which overflows from the tip of the blade, creating a flow of ice shaped like a Chinese dragon. The dragon flies at opponents and instantly freezes anything it touches. The chain-blade also freezes anything Hitsugaya traps with it. Hyrinmaru's final release, named Daiguren Hyrinmaru (tɏ݆, lit. Great Crimson Ice Ring, Viz: Great Roaring Coldly Shining Moon), causes ice to flow from Hyrinmaru onto Hitsugaya, forming into two large wings and a tail. Ice also forms into a dragon's head around his sword hand, encasing it up to the hilt. His left is covered fully until the wrist where it then it spans into claws, leaving his hand and fingers free. Three "flowers" of ice, shaped similarly to the guard of his zanpakut, are also created behind Hitsugaya with four petals each, which melt away as Hitsugaya attacks. Hyrinmaru's final release has two known special techniques. The first is "dragon hail flower" (o, rysenka), which freezes any enemy Hitsugaya stabs, locking them into a cocoon of ice and freezing them to the core. Once frozen, Hitsugaya can shatter his opponent. The second is "thousand years ice prison" (ǧ, sennen hyr), which forms a multitude of ice pillars using the moisture in the atmosphere. These pillars then envelop the enemy. During a battle with Hitsugaya, the arrancar Shawlong speculates that Hitsugaya's final release will end when all twelve petals disappear, claiming that Hitsugaya's final release is "incomplete" due to his young age. However, the ability of an arrancar to fully understand a shinigami's weapon is questionable at best, so this theory is only provisional. Also, Hitsugaya was operating under a power limit at the time, which could have affected Shawlong's perception of his strength. After Shawlong is defeated Hitsugaya does comment with a look of relief that he has one petal left. However, during his battle with the arrancar Luppi, Hitsugaya mentions that as long as there is water in his immediate surrounding area, his final release form is able to regenerate itself indefinitely.
