Bleach is famous for being one of the "big three" of Shonen Jump in the 2000s, introducing a battle system based on spirits and swords. Soul Reapers slay Hollow spirits and escort the souls of the dead to the peaceful Soul Society, and one of the strongest Soul Reapers is Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya of squad 10.

What is he capable of? Toshiro is a prodigy at the sword, despite his youth, and he can perform the flash step and a variety of kido spells. His shikai creates an ice dragon for offense and defense, and his bankai, Daiguren Hyorinmaru, grants him ice wings and can create many powerful ice-based attacks. Can he challenge the fighters of other series, like Fairy Tail, and win? Let's see which fights he can win, and which he cannot.

10 Can Defeat: Juvia Lockser

The water wizard, Juvia Lockser, switched sides to Fairy Tail when she lost in battle to Gray Fullbuster the ice wizard. Now she fights for her friends, and she can use her aquatic magic on offense and defense in all kinds of ways. She can create water blades all over the place, or trap her foe in a water bubble to drown them.

But that won't work against Toshiro, who can freeze Juvia's water and turn it right against her. Juvia might try to melt the ice back into the water, but Toshiro's strength is formidable, and he's also too fast for Juvia to track. He'll definitely take her down.

9 Can't Defeat: Gildarts Clive

This is Gildarts, who may be a contender to become one of the Ten Wizard Saints. He has incredible physical strength, speed, and endurance, enough for him to challenge the world's mightiest wizards and win. He even survived an encounter with a dragon.

Gildarts has the prowess necessary to match Toshiro in battle, and his Crush-type magic can nullify and blast apart anything that Toshiro tries to use on him. If Gildarts can stand up to August of the Spriggan 12 with that power, he can handle Toshiro, too. That ice is going to shatter.

8 Can Defeat: Elfman Strauss

Elfman Strauss is the middle child between two sisters, and he uses the same type of magic as them: Take Over magic. With it, Elfman can assume the body of various monsters and beasts, either in part or as a whole.

He is a powerful melee warrior who can take on the land's strongest martial artists and win, as he demonstrated in the Grand Magic Games. But his strength will fail him against Toshiro's superior speed and maneuvering, and he'll get himself trapped in a massive ice prison sooner or later. He's finished.

7 Can't Defeat: Erza Scarlet

Erza, Fairy Tail

Erza Scarlet is a swordmaster like Toshiro, and like Gildarts, she ranks among the elite of the entire Fairy Tail guild. Erza is not only skilled with the blade, but she is also able to summon suits of armor from another dimension.

That makes her flexible in combat, able to adjust to any strategy that her opponent is using. She can find an armored suit to neutralize Toshiro's ice attacks, and she can draw upon the strength of her fellows to fight Toshiro on his own terms and grind out a victory over time. It won't be easy, but she can do it.

6 Can Defeat: Bickslow

Meet Bickslow, a member of the Thunder God Tribe. This is one of the teams that operate within Fairy Tail's ranks, and Bickslow is one of three bodyguards to Laxus Dreyar, the Lightning Dragonslayer. Only elite wizards can earn Laxus' respect like that.

However, Bickslow is in trouble if he crosses paths with Toshiro Hitsugaya. His doll-based magic will be quickly nullified when Toshiro's bankai freezes the dolls in place, and the ice can also shield Toshiro from Bickslow's emergency eye-based powers. Toshiro can get in close with a flash step, then finish the job.

5 Can't Defeat: Kyoka

Kyoka has supernatural strength in battle because she's not even human at all. This woman is a demon, one of several demon books of Zeref. She tortured Erza and very nearly defeated Erza in there during the Tartaros arc.

Her curse power is enormously powerful, and she can also magnify her target's sense of pain. Kyoka can slow down Toshiro by torturing his sense during their battle, and Kyoka can gradually boost her own combat strength, seemingly without limit. Toshiro won't last forever against odds like these.

4 Can Defeat: Cana Alberona

cana alberona (Fairy Tail)

Cana Alberona is the wielder of card-based magic, a type of Holder magic. Her deck of cards makes her a flexible fighter, being able to use elemental magic or even place other people inside those cards and toss them around.

All that makes Cana a helpful support wizard, but if she duels a powerhouse opponent like Toshiro Hitsugaya, she's in for a world of hurt. None of her individual cards are strong enough to match Toshiro's abilities, and she definitely can't keep up with Toshiro's flash step and expert swordplay. She must give in, or meet a painful end.

3 Can't Defeat: Minerva Orland

Minerva Orland belongs to the famed Sabertooth Guild, which rose to prominence as Fiore's #1 wizard guild after the Tenrous Island arc wrapped up. She is a melee master, boasting incredible speed, strength, and cunning. She can even handle a three-way battle with Erza and Kagura, two powerhouse wizards.

But Minerva can do more than kick and punch. Her magic allows her to create portals that redirect magical attacks or relocate either party in the battle, which is bound to confuse Toshiro. And he'll be even more surprised when his own attacks are redirected against him.

2 Can Defeat: Gajeel Redfox

This will be a difficult battle, but Toshiro can pull it off. Gajeel Redfox is the Iron Dragonslayer, boasting a tough metallic skin and the ability to conjure jets of iron particles and metallic rods that can strike the enemy.

Toshiro can avoid all the offensive moves that Gajeel can throw at him, and he can retaliate with the most powerful techniques that his bankai can offer. Before Gajeel gets a chance to hit back, he'll be trapped in a great icy formation, and he'll have no way out.

1 Can't Defeat: Invel Yura

Invel Yura Spriggan 12 fairy tail

It's time to pit Captain Hitsugaya against another ice user, and it's not going to turn out well for him. At first, one would think that Toshiro has the edge since he is a prodigy with the sword and bankai. He will definitely impress Invel, at least, when he demonstrates his powers.

Invel's ice powers are even more formidable, and he can use ice in ways that Toshiro has never seen before. With it, Invel can create massive blizzards, chain his opponent's neck to control their mind, freeze ice solid (yes, he can do that), and more. Unless Invel's opponent's ice has the exact same properties as his, Invel can dominate the battle, and he will.
