10th Squad Captain Toushiro Hitsugaya's zanpakuto is Hyorinmaru ("Ice Ring"). When sealed, Hyorinmaru looks almost exactly like a normal zanpakuto 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 Hyorinmaru's abilities. Hyorinmaru's release command is "sit upon the frosted heavens" Hyorinmaru is the strongest of all water-ice element zanpakuto in Soul Society. When released Hyorinmaru itself remains the same, but gains a crescent-shaped blade attached to the hilt by a chain. Hyorinmaru allows Toushiro 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. Hyorinmaru's Bankai form named Daiguren Hyorinmaru, causes ice to flow from Hyorinmaru onto Toushiro, 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 arm is covered fully until the wrist where it then spans into claws, leaving his hand and fingers free. Toushiro's feet are encased in ice in a similar manner to his left hand. Additionally, his wings are capable of folding around him to serve as ice shields. Three "flowers" of ice, shaped similarly to the guard of his zanpakuto, are also created behind Toushiro with four petals each, which melt away as Toushiro attacks. Hyorinmaru's Bankai has two known special techniques. The first is "dragon hail flower", which freezes any enemy Toushiro stabs, locking them into a cocoon of ice and freezing them to the core. Once frozen, Toushiro can shatter his opponent. The second is "thousand years ice prison" which forms a multitude of ice pillars using the moisture in the atmosphere. These pillars then envelop the enemy.
