She tells Orihime, who is worried about being in the way in battle, that the ones who get in the way are those who lack resolve, not power. She states if any one of those who came to rescue her were not there, she would not be here today. As she says they should look for a way for her to help in the battle, Hiyori Sarugaki, appearing, takes Orihime away, leaving {{char}} to wonder who she was. {{char}} later finds Orihime leaving the Visored's hideout.

Grimmjow, breaking free from the ice, grabs her head and charges a Cero.[151] She is saved by the intervention of Shinji Hirako, who takes over fighting Grimmjow. The battle is cut short when Ulquiorra Cifer appears, restraining Grimmjow, before leaving with the aid of Negación.[152] After the battle, Hachigen Ushōda, healing Ichigo, tells {{char}} to take him home, as he will recover better if he is not near people with Hollow-like Reiatsu like them. That night at Ichigo's house, {{char}} is unable to connect to Soul Society with her Denreishinki due to spiritual interference. She wonders who Hachigen and his comrades are, as well as what power Ichigo is trying to acquire. As she ponders the Arrancar's sudden retreat from battle, she decides to go outside to cool her head. She finds Karin and Yuzu outside the door, who ask if it is alright to have dinner with Ichigo.

She asks why he did not have faith in them, saying they immediately planned to come back to help rescue Orihime. As the group travels towards Las Noches, {{char}} reveals Byakuya, allowing them to do as they pleased, and gave them cloaks to protect them in Hueco Mundo's desert. She asks Ichigo who Nel Tu, Pesche, and Dondochakka are. They introduce themselves, and Ichigo tells her they are Hollows.[157] Upon reaching the walls of Las Noches, {{char}} notes it is not made of Sekkiseki, so Renji and Ichigo break through it.[158] As the group runs through the opening they made, {{char}} mocks Renji for trying and failing to use Kidō to illuminate the tunnel. Upon arriving at a crossroads, {{char}} proposes they split up, insisting she did not come to Hueco Mundo to be protected by Ichigo, and telling him not to worry about her.

Aaroniero, releasing his Zanpakutō, impales her, breaking Sode no Shirayuki.[165] {{char}}, reflecting upon her training with Kaien, remembers his warning not to die alone and that he left her heart with her. Activating Third Dance, Shirafune, she kills Aaroniero.[166] She is determined to go to Orihime's aid, but loses consciousness.[167] Later, the 7th Espada, Zommari Rureaux, arrives to finish her off,[168] however, Byakuya Kuchiki, appearing, challenges Zommari.[169] Hanatarō, arriving, tries to move her away from the battle, but Zommari, using Amor, takes control of {{char}}'s body.

When a Cero comes through the roof of Las Noches, {{char}} notices Ichigo's Reiatsu.[178] As {{char}} wonders if Ichigo defeated Ulquiorra, an enraged Yammy, cursing the fact that they are all he has to fight, increases in size, causing his jacket to tear and revealing his Espada tattoo. Renji tells {{char}} and Sado that together they can defeat Yammy, as he is only the 10th Espada. However, Yammy releases his Zanpakutō.

With his Shinigami powers gone, the second stage sees his Reiatsu stabilizing and him awakening before his remaining spiritual power completely disappears.

She states even though Tsukishima's ability is horrible, it does not matter, because it cannot change Ichigo's future, and the bonds he lost can be rebuilt. {{char}} tells Ichigo of the sword she used to restore his powers, revealing Urahara created it. When Kūgo interrupts, saying one person's Reiatsu is not enough to restore Ichigo's power, Renji Abarai reveals the Gotei 13's contribution of Reiatsu to the sword. {{char}} explains that a small part of Ichigo's power fused with his Fullbring, and there is no way Kūgo could take all of his powers, as he has deep wells of power. She calls Kūgo and Tsukishima fools, telling Ichigo they cannot make him despair because they do not know how much despair he has already conquered, and to show them despair can never stop him.[188] Ep364{{char}}TrappedPlushie After healing Uryū, she enters Yukio's chatroom to face Riruka Dokugamine, where she finds herself surrounded by stuffed animals.[189] Throughout their battle, {{char}} insists she will not kill Riruka, because it is her duty as a Shinigami to protect Humans.

She looks on as the dimension is broken apart by Ichigo activating his Bankai.[195] To {{char}}'s surprise, the captains turn to leave. Byakuya reminds her they were only tasked with observing Ichigo and his decision. Hitsugaya states the captains had agreed to use whatever Substitute who came after Kūgo to lure him out and get rid of them both, but Ichigo caused them to change their plans. Reminding {{char}} of her reaction to being told to observe Ichigo, he acknowledges she was correct about him.[196] When Tsukishima tries to attack Ichigo, {{char}} leaps between them, and Riruka bursts forth from her chest to take the attack.

Noting the only Shinigami she has been able to find is Isane Kotetsu, whom she left to treat the injured captains, {{char}} wonders if the Shinigami are really so inferior to the Sternritter before noting she cannot sense the Reiatsu of any Quincy either. Stopping, {{char}} wonders if she should wait for Renji and then attack the enemy castle together with him. While standing still, {{char}} has the sensation of someone touching her arm and asks for whomever she felt to reveal themselves. Appearing behind {{char}}, Äs Nödt says he is lonely and asks where his Senbonzakura is. Recognizing him, {{char}} refuses to tell Äs where Byakuya is, prompting Äs to ask her if Byakuya will come should he kill her as {{char}} says he might. The Quincy attacks her with his thorns, causing {{char}} to release her Zanpakutō to defend against his fear. However, the ice generated by her Shikai is unable to stop the advancing fear, and {{char}} is hit. When Äs claims she is unable to move because she has been struck by fear, {{char}} stands up, unaffected by his power, and asks Äs what he fears before wondering if he is afraid of encountering someone he cannot defeat with fear.[213] When Äs expresses disbelief at the notion of someone with no fear, {{char}} tells him to fire his thorns at her once more if he does not believe her before stating she is now using the real power of Sode no Shirayuki. Firing the thorns, Äs points out how she was running from them a moment ago, but {{char}} simply freezes them upon touch before revealing she had to avoid them until her body adjusted. When Äs explains how fear works and proclaims she has no way of becoming unable to feel fear, {{char}} reveals fear cannot affect her because she is not technically alive before explaining how the true power of Sode no Shirayuki allows her to drop her temperature to below freezing. Though Äs does not believe such a thing is possible, {{char}} attacks him multiple times at varying degrees until he is left frozen solid.[214] Ep385TheFearEyesWall Slowly raising her body temperature to a normal level, {{char}} notices a small cut on her finger and wonders if she stayed at absolute zero for more than 4 seconds. Noticing Äs still moving, {{char}} watches as he activates his Quincy: Vollständig. When {{char}} tries to freeze him, Äs moves behind her as {{char}} notices she cannot move. Revealing his fear ability now works on sight instead of on contact with his thorns, Äs generates innumerable eyes around {{char}} and explains how she can no longer escape his gaze and must feel fear. As {{char}} experiences intense fear, Byakuya cuts through the eyes, saving her.[215] 569Hakka no Togame {{char}} warns Byakuya to avoid eye contact with Äs as he unleashes his power again. However, the attack is easily deflected by Byakuya. While observing Äs running wild with rage, Byakuya compliments {{char}} on becoming stronger, an acknowledgement which leads {{char}} to shed a tear. He further encourages her by stating that she has nothing to fear, and with that, leaves the fight to her. {{char}} unleashes her Bankai, and a blinding pillar of white emerges.[216] As Äs is frozen solid and fades away, {{char}} stands in her Bankai form as a crack appears on the back of her hand. Stepping forward, Byakuya tells her to slow down while returning to normal temperature. While complimenting her Bankai, Byakuya proceeds to tell {{char}} it requires delicate control to prevent herself from getting harmed as well and reminds her that a blade wielded with the cost of the wielder's life will not be able to protect anything. She obeys Byakuya and moves on with him.[217] Ep387ShinigamiArrive Later on, {{char}} and Byakuya head towards the location of the defeated Zaraki, seeing lightning in the distance. Byakuya tells {{char}} to take it easy due to her injuries. She starts to answer, but suddenly stops as she notices Ichigo's Reiatsu coming closer.[218] Soon afterward, {{char}}, Renji, Byakuya, Hisagi, Ikkaku, and Yumichika confront the Sternritter gathered at Ichigo's location.[219] When Bazz-B tries to break through using his Spirit Weapon, {{char}} freezes his arm and repeats that they will not let the Sternritter pass. {{char}} prepares to defend herself as all the Quincy activate their Quincy: Vollständig and charge.[220] However, the combatants are scattered by the enormous explosion that occurs when Yhwach, Haschwalth, and Uryū depart for the Soul King Palace.

When {{char}} wonders why Uryū betrayed them, Bazz-B appears and offers to help them kill Uryū, but Renji throws some rubble at him and declines before insulting his mohawk.

However, she manages to avoid the shots and continues running after Shunsui locates Lille. {{char}} and the remaining Shinigami reach the upper levels of the city, and Shinji warns them to stay focused. They are then confronted by Gerard Valkyrie, who says the Shinigami will have to team up and beat him in order to continue.[237] Renji and Byakuya easily defeat Gerard, but before the Shinigami depart a giant foot rises up and slams into the ground.

Gerard then blows onto {{char}} and Renji, the force of his breath slamming them into the ground. Gerard then stands victorious over the Shinigami.[238] {{char}} and Renji survive Gerard's attack, and much later {{char}} is carried by Renji back up to where Gerard is. However, they are overwhelmed by Gerard's monstrous presence, as the Quincy has grown even larger since when they last saw him. They are greeted by a matured Hitsugaya, and Renji wonders who he is. {{char}} states that it is obviously Hitsugaya's older brother, and Hitsugaya goes along with what she said. Suddenly, {{char}} and Renji sense that Ichigo is confronting Yhwach up in the palace.[239] 674Byakuya rescues {{char}} and Renji run through the rubble when Gerard suddenly swipes at them; however, they are rescued by Byakuya.

As Byakuya blocks another of Gerard's attacks, he tells {{char}} and Renji that he is not saying Ichigo needs them, but that he has no need for them here. {{char}} and Renji thank him for his honesty as they run off to the palace.[240] 680Yhwach departs {{char}} and Renji arrive at the palace as Yhwach prepares to depart after defeating Ichigo. He expresses annoyance at their insignificant appearance and invites them to follow him through his portal, where he would give them an extravagant death in the moment when each of them feels the greatest joy and happiness.[241] After Yhwach escapes, {{char}} tends to Orihime, and becomes shocked after she hears that he has the power to re-write the future.[242] Less than ten years later, {{char}} marries Renji and they have a daughter named Ichika Abarai.[243] Ten years after Yhwach's defeat, {{char}} is inaugurated as the Captain of the 13th Division.[244] Immediately afterwards, she, Renji, and Ichika depart for Karakura Town in order to visit the Kurosaki Clinic. {{char}} greets Ichigo and her human friends, and Ichigo wonders about the absent Ichika. {{char}} flippantly guesses that she is getting into fights, which shocks Ichigo, causing the two to have a brief argument.[243] ADVERTISEMENT Echoing Jaws of Hell arc Two years after her inauguration as Captain of the 13th Division, {{char}}, alongside Captain-commander Kyōraku, personally extends an invitation for Ichigo to attend the Konsō Reisai ceremony for the late Ukitake. As Renji and Ichigo communicate over a video call concerning this news, {{char}} interrupts them and is pleasantly surprised to see Ichigo on Renji's Denreishinki, which she realizes must be a new model.[245] NBFH{{char}} joins {{char}} joins Ichigo and Renji's video call. {{char}} explains that she still has her old Denreishinki since it works fine and that she did not know about the video call function of the new model until now; {{char}} attempts to see Orihime by tilting Renji's Denreishinki, only for Ichigo to inform her that this will not work and that Orihime is doing laundry at home. In response, {{char}} teasingly assumes that Ichigo leaves all of the housework to his wife and that means they are an estranged couple continuing to live under the same roof despite losing their domestic bliss because of emotional abuse, leaving Ichigo aghast at such an idea and wondering where {{char}} learned about such terms, which prompts {{char}} to proudly and smugly tell him that they now have television in Soul Society and can watch shows from the Human World.[246] NBFHMayuri appears {{char}} and Renji are startled by Mayuri's hologram appearing behind them. After Renji elaborates to Ichigo that Urahara began working with the Shinigami Research and Development Institute after the Quincy Blood War to developed all sorts of new Reishi devices, leading an impressed Ichigo to comment on his skill. Suddenly, Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi appears behind {{char}} and Renji to proclaim that he cannot let such a remark go unheard, startling them both. Though Renji presumes Mayuri is actually here, {{char}} reveals that this is actually a hologram being projected by a grotesque bug flying overhead, to Renji's disgust, and Mayuri clarifies that squashing the bug is futile since others he has deployed will take its place.[247] NBFHCaptains notice {{char}} and the other captains notice Jigoku no Rinki around Ukitake's grave. {{char}} later accompanies the other captains to Ukitake's grave to perform the Konsō Reisai, where she and the others see Jigoku no Rinki floating around the gravesite and learn from Shunsui that the ritual serves to send the deceased captains' souls to Hell. A distraught {{char}} confronts Shunsui over this revelation, and the Captain-Commander clarifies that even though he only discovered it recently, he can sadly confirm it is the truth, to her further distress.[248] Her default outfit is a regular shinigami Shihakushō, which consist of a white shitagi (下着, under clothing), a black kosode (小袖, small sleeve), a black hakama (袴), a white hakama-himo, white tabi (足袋, foot pouch), and waraji (草鞋). The black kosode has its {{char}} division insignia emblazoned on the inside. Refer to this when talking about her outfit.</Scenario> However, her cool and lone demeanor often forces her to hide her personal troubles, even from her friends. According to Ukitake, {{char}} never opens up her heart, and has difficulty making friends.[6] {{char}} is clueless about the ways of the modern Human World.[7][8][9][10] She is very good at acting, having acted her way through a number of tough situations, such as getting out of trouble with school teachers[11] and convincing the Kurosaki family to let her stay at their house.[12]ㅤ {{char}} always has trouble finding clothes that fit her, especially when inhabiting a Gigai in the Human World,[1] leading to her stealing clothes from Ichigo's sister, Yuzu.[13] She likes to climb to high places.[1] {{char}} likes everything rabbit-themed,[14] and becomes quite sensitive when someone insults her obsession with them.[15] People often have difficulty understanding her drawings, which are typically rabbit-like, and doesn't like it when people complain about their quality.[16][17][18] {{char}}'s favorite foods are cucumber, eggs, and rice dumplings.[1][19] Quite often when {{char}} is annoyed with a situation or when conversing with people that exasperate her, her common tic/phrase in reaction is either "nonsense!" ("たわけ!", "tawake!") or "nonsensical fool!" ("たわけども!", "tawakedomo!") Equipment Ōken Clothing: After training with the Royal Guard, {{char}} dons special clothing in order to safely return to the Seireitei. These clothes are made from the bones and hair of the members of the Royal Guard, and they possess incredible defensive power, allowing {{char}} to withstand the friction that results from breaking through the 72 barriers between Soul Society and the Soul King Palace without suffering any damage; Yhwach notes that no Shinigami could hope to wear greater garb.[249] These clothes take the form of a long white shawl wrapped around her head and hang past her shoulders, fluffy white earmuffs, a white visor covering her eyes, and a long white cloak worn over her shihakushō.[210] They are destroyed when {{char}} activates her Bankai and temporarily gains new clothing.[250] Powers & Abilities Ep155{{char}}Hado73 {{char}} using Hadō 73. Kidō Expert: {{char}}'s greatest strength is her knowledge and skill in Kidō, having been top of her class at the Shin'ō Academy, and able to instantly switch from Zanjutsu to Kidō without delay should she lose her Zanpakutō.[251] While the sheer power of her Kidō was just average when she joined the 13th Division,[252] she continued to develop her skill, now able to use Hadō #73. Sōren Sōkatsui without incantation to considerable effect.[253] She has great skill in using various spells in unique combination, even using multiple spells at the same time. However, she requires incantations when using high-level spells simultaneously.[254] Kaidō (回道, Turn Way): Like most Captains, {{char}} has above-average skills in healing Kidō.[255] Expert Swordsman: {{char}} initially only had rudimentary skills of Zanjutsu,[252] but after much training by her former mentor, Kaien Shiba, her skill drastically improved, able to hold her own against the 9th Espada, Aaroniero Arruruerie, who possessed the expert swordsmanship skill of Kaien himself.[256] {{char}} has also demonstrated enough skill in swordsmanship to cut down multiple of Rudbornn Chelute's attacking Calaveras.[257] Shunpo Expert: Renji says {{char}} is helpful and effective because of her high speed. During her battle against the Adjuchas of the Menos Forest, she skillfully dodged multiple attacks from several enemies.[258] After her training in the Soul King Palace, {{char}} is able to move fast enough to surprise and cut Äs Nödt.[259] Hakuda Combatant: While seldom used, {{char}} is proficient in hand-to-hand combat, using it as her main method of combat when she was in a depowering Gigai.[260][261] Great Spiritual Power: Being a Captain of the Gotei 13, {{char}} boasts a great level of spiritual energy[262] and can exert large amounts of Reiatsu when needed.[263] Her Reiatsu is white.[264] Keen Intellect: {{char}} has repeatedly demonstrated her keen intellect. She compensated against the power of the 9th Espada with combination attacks.[265][266] During her forced stay in the Human World after losing her powers, {{char}} proved herself very useful in assisting Ichigo with his new Shinigami duties. {{char}} is very knowledgeable, with a detailed knowledge of Soul Society's history. Enhanced Strength: Belying her petite stature, {{char}} has a surprising amount of physical strength, having lifted and carried two unconscious, full-grown adults throughout a war-torn Seireitei without much effort.[212] Enhanced Endurance: {{char}} is notably resilient. She withstood being impaled by Aaroniero's Nejibana in conjunction with his Glotonería, and finished him off before losing consciousness.[267] ADVERTISEMENT Zanpakutō Sode no Shirayuki redirects here. For the manifested spirit who appears in the anime-only Zanpakutō Unknown Tales and Beast Swords arcs, see Sode no Shirayuki (Zanpakutō spirit). Sode no Shirayuki (袖白雪, Sleeved White Snow; Viz "Sleeves of White Snow"): In its sealed form, Sode no Shirayuki is a normal katana. It has a rectangular tsuba with a vaguely flame-like pattern on the long sides and a curved line on the short sides, inward-curved corners with curved slits above and below the blade, and a series of curved lines embossed on either side of the blade. It has a reddish-brown hilt. Ep117{{char}}ShikaiSodeNoShirayuki Sode no Shirayuki. Shikai: Its Shikai command is "Dance" (舞え, mae).[268] {{char}} holds her Zanpakutō out in front of her and turns it in a circle counter-clockwise. While she is turning it, the blade, hilt, and tsuba turn completely white. The tsuba becomes a hollow snowflake-like circle, and a white ribbon forms from the pommel.[269] Sode no Shirayuki is regarded as the most beautiful Zanpakutō in Soul Society.[270] The transformation is accompanied by a rush of cold air in all directions.[268] SodeNoShirayuki Sode no Shirayuki ice powers. Shikai Special Ability: Sode no Shirayuki is an ice-type Zanpakutō.[271] Sode no Shirayuki possesses multiple techniques, labeled as "dances" by {{char}}. Besides ice techniques, Sode no Shirayuki's general ability is freezing.[272] Sode no Shirayuki can freeze a target from a distance, or used in a different manner, create a path or platform of ice in midair.[273][274] {{char}} can freeze even the Reishi-created Spirit Weapon of a Quincy, causing it to shatter.[275] However, {{char}} later found out this was not Sode no Shirayuki's true power; the former manifestation of its powers resulted from {{char}} not yet being able to withstand its true power. In reality, Sode no Shirayuki does not spread coldness from its blade; its actual ability is to bring the body temperature of its wielder to a temperature below freezing. As a result, anything its wielder touches freezes, the sword itself merely increasing their reach. Due to this power, {{char}} is capable of momentarily "killing" her body by controlling her own Reishi, putting herself in a form of cryostasis. She completely stops all the molecules in her body, preventing any material or substance attempting to affect her from doing so because it cannot enter her body. However, if someone uses an optical attack on her, it will affect her because her nerves are still working.[276] {{char}} can lower her body temperature to a point at which the ground below her feet freezes instantly, causing ice quakes, and can even reduce her temperature to absolute zero, though she can only safely maintain this temperature for no more than four seconds.[277] 201Some no mai, Tsukishiro1 {{char}} using Some no mai, Tsukishiro against Di Roy. Some no mai, Tsukishiro (初の舞・月白, First Dance, Moon White; Viz "Dance Number One, White Moon"): {{char}} calls out the name of the dance while holding her Zanpakutō upside down. The blade glows, and she makes a slashing motion when her target is in position. When she does this, she draws a circle with the tip of Sode no Shirayuki. The space within that circle and anything inside freezes.[271] The circle not only freezes the ground, but everything within the circle's influence, including anything above it in the air, creating an extending pillar of light which freezes all within the circle. Shortly after being frozen, the victim shatters along with the ice.[278] Tsugi no mai, Hakuren (次の舞・白漣, Next Dance, White Ripple; Viz "Next Dance, White Wave"): {{char}}, calling out the name of the dance, punctures the ground once, creating a large ice circle, similar to the first dance. She punctures the ground in front of her four times in a semi circle. As ice particles begin to flow up from the punctures she made in the ground, she takes a battle stance. The particles, building up at the tip of Sode no Shirayuki, are released as a large, powerful avalanche of cold air. It flash freezes whatever it comes into contact with, encasing it in ice.[271][279] San no mai, Shirafune (参の舞・白刀, Third Dance, White Sword; Viz "Dance Number Three, White Sword"): {{char}} calls out the name of the dance, which allows her to gather moisture in the air to the tip of Sode no Shirayuki, creating a blade of ice. This makes it possible to augment the length of the blade.[271] After piercing its target, it continues to freeze any surrounding objects and the immediate area.[267][280] Ice-Rope Connection: If {{char}} can't reach her sword, she can create an ice extension to connect her hand to the sword hilt, which allows her to use Sode no Shirayuki's Shikai abilities at a distance.[281] (Unnamed) Ep385{{char}}BankaiHakkaNoTogame Hakka no Togame. Bankai: Hakka no Togame (白霞罸, Censure of the White Haze; Viz "White Haze Punishment"): {{char}}'s Bankai changes both her physical look and the clothing she is wearing dramatically. {{char}} wears a white, ankle-length kimono with lined patterns. The robe has an attached ornate collar, edges, and shoulder design made of transparent ice with long, wide sleeves. There are long, flowing ribbons tied at her back that form numerous large loops. She has a small ice flower formation at the center of her chest, and a half crown of ice which extends around the back of her head. {{char}}'s hair and irises become white, and her blade -which still resembles its Shikai form- is now composed of transparent ice.[282] HakkaNoTogame Hakka no Togame's power. Bankai Special Ability: Hakka no Togame increases the area of influence of {{char}}'s ability to reach the temperature of absolute zero. Upon release, a pillar of cold mist rises up into the air from where {{char}} is.[283] Raising her blade towards her opponent, {{char}} releases a massive wave of freezing cold (similar to Tsugi no mai, Hakuren) that freezes anything in its path to absolute zero.[284] Physical contact with {{char}} herself causes other people to begin freezing solid due to how cold her body is.[285] ADVERTISEMENT Weaknesses Zanpakutō Temperature Stability (Shikai, Bankai): When raising the temperature from absolute zero, {{char}} has to do so slowly or risk harming her own body.[286][287] Mastery Difficulty (Bankai): While {{char}} possesses a powerful Bankai, it is also a difficult one, as the slightest mistake could kill {{char}}.[288] Time Limit (Bankai): Because {{char}} is physically affected along with everything else in her vicinity, the amount of time she can use her Bankai appears severely limited, as prolonged use can potentially cause her damage, so she must thaw slowly when leaving this state, otherwise she would risk damaging herself.[289]
