Description[]
RWBY vs Fairy Tail vs Date A Live vs Naruto vs Akame Ga Kill vs Bleach. They are the ice master. No one is even colder than them, and no one will be. And now, it's time to know who is the coolest in them. How will freeze the other combatants? Who will stand on the top of 5 block of ice? Who will win a DEATH BATTLE?
Before The Battle[]
Morning Star: Several elements of nature like fire, water and wind were the first leading steps for creating fictional characters, and it made wonders when it shows its colors with an author's creativity.
Judge: But as fiction grew, so did those elements, and other elements of nature rose up and made themselves apparent in our eyes.
Marie: 1 of the most greatest elements that appeared recently is ice, which is how those powerful and unique 6 ice users existed in the world of fiction.
Morning Star: Weiss Schnee, The Snow Angel.
Judge: Gray Fullbuster, The Ice Devil Slayer Mage.
Marie: Yoshino Himekawa, The Hermit.
Justice: Haku Yuki, The Yuki clan's last member.
Morning Star: Esdeath, The Ice Cold Harbinger of War.
Marie: And Toshiro Hitsugaya, The Ice Dragon of The Gotei 13.
Judge: He's Morning Star, She's Marie, She's Justice, and I'm Judge!
Morning Star: And it's our job to cover up every single detail of every single combatant in this brawl to see who will win...A DEATH BATTLE.
Weiss Schnee[]
Morning Star: People may think that living in luxury would mean the best and most comfortable life ever, but that's not the case for a certain family in the world of Remnant.
Judge: Remnant is actually a god-forsaken world, which was created by 2 gods: The God of Light, which is basically the Merkabah of the universe, and The God of Darkness, the Lucifer of the universe of RWBY.
Marie: That aside, since it isn't what we are concerned with, we zoom from Remnant to Atlas, where the prestige-famed Schnee family exists. A man named Jacques Schnee was a fine business man, but in reality, he was a mad man who lusted for money, wealth and fame.
Justice: This led his older daughter, Winter, to defect from the family, with his young so, Whitley, becoming the spitting image of his trash of a father.
Morning Star: But we're not here to talk about those. We are here to talk about a name out of 4 names that by so far made history in the entire RWBY verse. Her name...Is Weiss Schnee.
Judge: Having a pathetic excuse of a father that didn't even care for anything except his own money, shape and wealth, Weiss was extremely neglected throughout her own life, with the only 1 giving her support was her older sister Winter. It was at the point when Winter left the family that Weiss decided to make her move, and she escaped home after taking a test from her sister, then she attended Beacon Academy, as 1 quarter of the 4 woman team RWBY, led by 1 Ruby Rose.
Marie: And after that, let's enter to the real deal! Despite her slim appearance, Weiss is no slouch when it comes to strength. She's strong enough to toss a building-sized armored warrior into the air, cut through Grimm creatures, and even train with the likes of Ruby herself, where said girl dragged a huge Nevermore up a vertical cliff, where said monster weights more than 220 tons!
Justice: She's fast enough to dodge gunfire and even keep up with those who can dodge lightning, including Sun Wukong.
Morning Star: Sun dodged a bolt of lightning from a Sea Feilong. Measuring the distance that the bolt crossed, as well as the distance that Sun moved, this would mean that Sun must have dodged lightning at around Mach 11.
Judge: She's also durable enough to survive a punch from the huge armor she fought, survive a point blank lava geyser, tank building-sized attacks, and even survive a powerful hit from Grimm like the Nevermore, which is able to destroy a mountain!
Justice: But what makes the RWBY characters unique are 3 things. But before we talk about them, let's talk about Weiss' special weapon: Myrtenaster.
Marie: Myrtenaster is a revolver-rapier hybrid, where Weiss can actually store in it 1st thing that makes this verse special: Dust.
Judge: Huh?! What the heck?! Who uses dust in fights?!
Marie: What?! No! Not THAT kind of Dust. It's a different 1!
Judge: Then clarify it please!
Marie: You didn't give me the chance to!
Morning Star: Can we please move on?! We're not here to argue you 2!
Marie: Ahem...Okay. Dust is simply the source of elemental attacks in RWBY. You see, these tiny colored crystals have more than meets the eye, but unlike most of the RWBY characters, whose weapons are hybrids between blades and guns, Weiss' Myrtenaster is different, as if shoots elemental Dust from the tip of her futuristic rapier.
Justice: Like her unique and infamous Ice Dust, where she can use it to freeze the ground and turn it into a dangerously thin and slippery sheet of ice, flash freeze her opponents, create homing spikes and swords of solid ice, fire off beams of ice, and even cause ice spikes to shoot out from the ground, which traps the opponents in solid blocks of ice upon contact.
Marie: Next, we have the Fire Dust, which gives Weiss the ability to shoot beams of fire from the tip of her blade, submerge her rapier blade in fire, fire off fire waves, and even shoot fire ball of various sizes.
Morning Star: Then, we have the Wind Dust, where Weiss is able to shoot out mini whirlwinds that can deflect sound waves. And finally, we have Lightning Dust, which allows Weiss to shoot lightning bolts from her blade.
Marie: The 2nd unique feature is the Aura, which is basically the manifestation of one's soul. It may not be apparent for everyone watching the series, but attacking ones Aura means attacking their souls.
Judge: What the crap?! How is that even possible?!
Marie: Well, Aura can be used in various ways. In terms of defensive, it can act as a full body force field that protects the body from physical and elemental attacks, as well as protect from extreme cold and heat, so that's how anyone in the RWBY verse can attack the soul. Oh. And Weiss can actually combine light dust with her aura to create
Judge: Oh...I see...
Marie: And in terms of offensive, it can be used to enhance the power of the attacks of its user and release shock waves that can tear through Grimm, and in terms of passive, it can heal wounds that would normally leave permanent scars or burns, as well as sharpen her 5 senses to superhuman levels.
Judge: Now that sounds impressive...
Justice: You haven't seen what's truly impressive. Weiss, like all RWBY characters, holds the unique power of the Semblance, a power that is tied to 1's Aura, but unlike any other RWBY characters, Weiss' Semblance is inherited from her family, like a bloodline. Her Semblance is called Glyphs.
Morning Star: Weiss' Glyphs is an extremely unique Semblance due to its creative variety of options. Like the White Glyph, which is used for propelling either both herself for a fast speed boost, or her enemies to catch them off guard by sending them off into the air using a powerful solid force, or the Black Glyph, which is used to control gravity and even increase the power of attacks, as well as accelerate the target to move faster than its initial velocity in mid-air. Like how she used it with Ruby to propel her to mid-air to the Nevermore.
Marie: There is also the Blue Glyph, which is used as restraints to subdue her enemies, and the Yellow Glyph, which is a time dilation glyph that speeds up whoever is inside it. And if needed, Weiss can use Myrtenaster in conjugation with her Glyphs to increase both the range and width of her attacks, like being capable of creating huge bridges of ice, ice shards, ice swords, ice stars that encases whatever it hits in a huge spike of ice, and massive ice fields that impales whatever it encounters with massive ice spikes. Also, Weiss holds her ultimate technique: Meteo. Which is her using her Glyph to summon a Large Town busting meteor from outer space.
Judge: Hey! I just had a theory!
Morning Star: Uhhh...What...?
Judge: Weiss is the daughter of Snow White! Her parents just took her because she looked beautiful! So they decided to take her and adopt her into the Schnee family due to her beautiful voice in concerts and her beautiful looks!
Justice:...
Marie:...
Morning Star:...
Judge: What...?
Marie: Morning...
Morning Star: Yes?
Marie:...Can i die now?
Justice: Maybe after the analysis. Not that Morning will let you die.
Marie: Okay, but please, let that stupid, bubble gum-loving theorist, shut his mouth up, since i can clearly see that he knows nothing about RWBY.
Judge: Hey! Bubble gum are the best! Don't disrespect them!
Justice: Moving on! These stuff about Weiss were cool and all, but the most remarkable feature about her Glyphs is her ability to summon her enemies that she defeated. In her case, Weiss can summon a Boarbatusk, a boar-like Grimm that can use a spin dash attack and slam its tusks into its foes, A Queen Lancer, which is a large bee-like Grimm that can shoot its stinger like a high speed whip, with the additional abilities to shoot spikes from its abdomen, and the Arma Gigas, which is Weiss' most strongest summon, as well as her favorite, which she can manipulate its size from too small to too big, and even summon its arms with its sword instantly, and it's able to wield a huge sword that can cut through futuristic mini gundam machine, where 1 of them can shatter around 3 to 4 concrete pillars with 1 punch. And last, but not least, Weiss can actually tag team with her summons for more effectiveness in combat.
Morning Star: Even so, Weiss is not without weaknesses. As an Aura user, Aura itself is finite, and if it fades, Weiss won't be able to defend herself, and she will be hurt the same as a normal human being, and since Aura is tied to Semblance, if Aura is completely depleted, Weiss won't be able to use her Semblance until her Aura recharges itself.
Judge: But despite, and despite my theory being rudely ignored, Weiss has sure made her name out of her own family's league. So don't you dare stand in front of her, or she will stomp you with her pride...As The Snow Angel.
"I'm not siding with anyone. I'm doing what I feel is right, and that does not include wasting my time up here with these clueless people in Atlas. The Schnee family legacy isn't yours to leave. It's mine, and I'll do it as a Huntress!"
Gray Fullbuster[]
Morning Star: In Fiore, the continent where the magic side became larger than that of the science 1. There existed mage guilds, which are places used to fulfill quests 24/7, including supernatural ones.
Judge: Yeah, like slaying demons or dragons...Yeah...That's supernatural.
Marie: Out of those guilds exists the famous and most powerful guild: The Fairy Tail, a guild that consists of not only wizards, but also Dragon Slayers, Celestial Spirits Summoners, and Devil Slayers as well.
Justice: Speaking of Devil Slayers, 1 comes to mind when we hear this term. His name...Is Gray Fullbuster.
Morning Star: Gray was an orphan due to his hometown being ravaged by the demon Deliora, who killed everyone, including Gray's parents, with Gray being the only survivor, to which he was found in the remains of his home village by Ur, a wizard who volunteered to train Gray and her first apprentice, Lyon in the arts of Ice-Make Magic.
Judge: Tragedy struck when 1 day, Deliora attacked, which caused Ur to sacrifice herself using a sealing method with ice called Iced Shell to seal the demon away, at the cost of her existence, leaving Gray and Lyon alone, to which both of them parted ways, with Gray eventually joining as 1 of the most famous and most powerful members of the Fairy Tail Guild.
Marie: Gray is no slouch when it comes to battle. He is strong enough to trade blows with Natsu, who can one-shot Ikusa-Tsunagi, who swung his sword hard enough to create an energy output worth of 2.02 Gigatons of TNT, and fast enough to keep up with Natsu, who can dodge lightning at Mach 1381. As well as tanking attacks from Etherial Demons and robots that can use the weaknesses of others and use them against them, and fight even with most, if not all of his bones being broken.
Justice: But that's just the icing on the cake. What makes Gray special is his Ice-Make Magic.
Morning Star: The Ice-Make Magic is the ability to control ice and shaping it into both animate and inanimate objects. In Gray's case, he can use it in the form of weapons and inanimate projectiles. Like lances, swords, scythes, bridges, stairs, cages, cannons, ice walls, hammers, spiked clubs, arrows, axes, ice towers, ice geysers, slides, ice clones, grappling hooks, spears, knuckles, saucers, crescent-shaped projectiles, shotguns and cocoons.
Marie: There's still more. Gray, being a mage that can use ice, has access to Ice Magic, a type of magic that allows him to manipulate ice in various ways, like Freeze, which is the most basic, yet most useful technique of the Ice Magic, which allows Gray to either freeze anything he touches and encases it in ice, or make it weaker to be easy to break. He was even demonstrated to be able to freeze flames.
Judge: There is also the 2 forbidden techniques. Iced Shell, which allows someone to seal off something at the cost of turning the caster into ice that encases what wants to be sealed, and Lost Iced Shell, which is the same as Iced Shell, with the only difference being that once it's casted, it erases the existence of the caster from the memories of all those who know them, and this makes it several hundred times stronger. He once tried to use it to seal Zeref off, but was stopped by Natsu before that could happen.
Justice: You forgot the last technique that Gray has in his Ice Magic arsenal: Ice Magic: Seven Blades Dance, where he creates 2 pointy blades on his forearms that are made out of ice, before slashing 7 times with them in an instant at the enemy, and he can also create those blades out of his own blood by freezing it around his limbs.
Morning Star: This is not even the end of it. After Gray defeated his own father in battle, he gained access to a new form of ice magic: The Ice Devil Slayer Magic, which gives Gray even more powerful control over ice, with this type of magic being effective against demons even more, and with the ice created by it being so strong that not even the flames of a Fire Dragon Slayer like Natsu can even melt it.
Marie: This form gives Gray a new moveset. Like Ice-Make: Silver, which allows him to instantly freeze a large amount of area around him with a flick of a wrist, Ice Devil Rage, where Gray releases a beam of ice and snow at his target, Ice Devil Zeroth Destruction Sword, where he creates an ethereal long sword of ice that instantly freezes whoever and whatever comes in contact with it, Ice Devil Zeroth Destruction Bow, where Gray creates a bow and an arrow made out of ice, where when the arrow makes contact with anything, it engulfs it in a spiky trap of ice spikes, and Ice Devil Zeroth Destruction Fist, where Gray creates strong ice gauntlets around his arms which encases whatever it touches in ice.
Morning Star: Even with all of this, Gray is not flawless. As a mage, the magic pool in equivalent to his own stamina, and some of his spells drain him even faster. In addition to this, Ice-Make Magic solely relies on 2 important factors: The imagination of its wielder, and the usage of both hands in casting the spells, as using only 1 hand could cause accelerated fatigue.
Judge: What's more, his Ice Devil Slayer Magic, which extremely powerful as heck, it would cause his sanity to drop down the more he uses it, turning him into a savage monster with no rational thought, and there is also the fact that he rarely resorts to hand-to-hand combat, if not relying on it at all, as he only uses his magic to fight.
Marie: Even so, Gray has been an iconic mark in the history of fiction, being known as the hot ice stripper that has been shown in history. So don't you ever just stand in his way...Or you are just going to freeze in your place.
Justice: Marie...Your drooling...
"The pain of getting hit, the frustration of losing, the joy of winning, all of that. They've been driven into this body, fists, and this head. It becomes my strength in the next fight. All of my battles up to now, those memories, they are all of my power!"
Yoshino Himekawa[]
Morning Star: Spirits. Creatures that were originally humans, but were turned into mythical beings with powers based on the Angels from various mythologies, as well as the Sephiroth system.
Judge: Before you continue, does that have any relation with Final Fantasy?
Morning Star: No, it doesn't.
Judge: Oh, Bummer...
Marie: In Tenguu City, there are various Spirits that visited it, only to cause Spacequakes, a phenomenon that happens when a Spirit crosses the boundaries between The Neighboring World and the Real World, which causes a distortion in space and time that destroys a certain part in the planet.
Morning Star: But we are here to talk about 1 Spirit in particular that goes under the codename of Hermit: Her name...Is Yoshino Himekawa.
Justice: Appearing as a 14-year-old kid, but actually is around 40, Yoshino was a sickly child. 26 years ago before the events of Date A Live, with her only family being her widow of a mother. 1 day, her mother died in an accident related to her work, leaving her only with her hand doll that was named Yoshinon. With the grief from the loss of her mother, Yoshino's sickness worsened to the point of her not being able to breathe. On death's doors, she was visited by the 1st Spirit of Origins, Mio Takamiya, who gave her a Sephira Crystal, and erased her memories of the past, effectively turning her into a Spirit, where 26 years later, she was saved by 1 Shido Itsuka as the 2nd Spirit to be saved after Tohka Yatogami.
Judge: Past aside, Yoshino is strong despite her physical build as a child. As a Spirit, she ceased to age, effectively making her an immortal being. She obtained strength that was great enough to fight an army of futuristic soldiers with futuristic weapons, drop an entire city's temperature to absolute zero and even below, and even cover it in ice, which yields 8 Megatons of TNT, and create a rainstorm that is around 532 Megatons of TNT, injure Kurumi's clones, who are capable of injuring Kotori, who generated a 315 Megatons of TNT, and even hold back Origami Tobiichi prior to the latter becoming a Spirit.
Marie: And according to the Ratatoskr's Confidential: Spirit's Data System, Yoshino has an Agility value worth of 212, which makes her faster than Mukuro Hoshimiya, who holds an Agility value of 138 without her amp, where Mukuro is around 6 times faster than light. This would make Yoshino's top speed being around 9.22 times the speed of light if we go by cross multiplication.
Justice: And she is durable enough to tank a missile barrage head on without any scratch and even survive brutal attacks from Kurumi's clones.
Morning Star: But that's not all when it comes to Yoshino. Like all Spirits, she holds the special power of the Angel, an ethereal weapon that can take the form of a corporeal weapon depending on the angel's personality and imagination. In Yoshino's case, she has Zadkiel, an Angel which takes the form of a building-sized white rabbit. This allows Yoshino to control the weather in the form of creating a blizzard that can span to an entire city and even cover it all in snow, as well as create rainstorms, and hold complete control over both water and ice in the form of icicles, ice beams, ice storms and can create a 10 meter radius of isolated space around Yoshino called Sirion, where anyone or anything that intrudes in it would be pummeled by a merciless barrage of icicles.
Judge: And like all Spirits, Yoshino possess an Astral Dress, and in her case it's called El, which acts as a shield of Reiryoku that nullifies upcoming attacks depending on their level of power.
Justice: Speaking of shields and armors, Yoshino still possess her Armor Mode: Siryon, a mode where she fuses with her own Angel to form a beautiful white armor that has a rabbit head on it. In this form, Yoshino's prowess increases over water, ice, snow and weather to the point that the entire area around her becomes frozen.
Morning Star: All of this doesn't deny that Yoshino is still with flaws. She is extremely kind and passive, to the point that she rarely engages in fights for the sake of not harming anyone. In addition to this, she has a strength value of B, making her the weakest Spirit ever in the Date A Live verse.
Judge: But hey! If a bunny girl can actually have this much power. It's no wonder that she won that battle royale against the other Spirits in Volume 20 of the Novel. So you better watch out...Because this bunny's bite...Can be extremely chilly.
"…………I……hate, painful things. I also hate……scary things. Surely, those people too……whether its pain, or scary things, I think they……don't want it too. That's why, I……"
Haku Yuki[]
Morning Star: Ninjas in multiple eras and universes can be rather...Weird. As there are lots of techniques and creative arsenal and movesets.
Judge: Entering into the Elemental Nations, a place where Ninjas were made by the so-called god of ninja, The Sage of The Six Paths, who created the way of Ninshu, which was translated into 3 different arts of ninja styles: Taijutsu, the art of hand-to-hand combat, Ninjutsu, the art of spells that are executed via consumption of the power source called Chakra, and Genjutsu, the art of illusion casting.
Marie: And in the Naruto verse, there are lots of creative ways in those 3 arts of fighting, which leads us to those who can execute them. We're talking about Ninjas, and 1 shines in particular despite his small screen appearance. His name...Is Haku Yuki.
Justice: Born in the era of the 4th Mizukage and the 3-Tails Jinchuuriki, Yagura, Haku's mother was from the Yuki Clan, who are specialists of the art of Ice Release, which is the combination of Water Release and Wind Release, and she happened to be the last survivor, where she had to hide her status at that time because Yagura, who was brainwashed by Obito Uchiha of the Akatsuki, a group of missing Ninjas who defected from their villages and were branded as criminals. Obito brainwashed the 4th Mizukage to make him issue the command of killing all those who bore bloodline limits, which are what makes any kind of clan special. So Haku's mother concealed her status as the last surviving member of the Yuki Clan, and got married to a farmer, and gave birth to Hau, who discovered his powers at a young age at that time.
Morning Star: Things became worse when Haku's father knew about their status at the time Haku discovered his powers, before killing off his own wife, and then gathered a group of farmers to kill Haku as well. Sadness, anger and despair welling up inside him, Haku let his powers run amok, causing the death of his father and all of the other farmers that went for his head, before he ran away from his house, and was completely orphaned, only to be found by 1 Zabuza Momochi, who adopted him for his skills, and the 2 started their lives as mercenary Ninjas, which are Ninjas that work for the sake of money. Be it assassination or stealing, anything goes as long as there is money on the table.
Judge: Haku possess superhuman speed, strength and endurance. He's strong enough to break a man's arm by simply squeezing it in his own hand and take down trained Ninjas, like Sasuke, who can generate a 13 Tons of TNT fireball, fast enough to keep up with Naruto, who can speedblitz thugs at Mach 1.19, and with his Ice Mirrors, he was stated to be capable of traveling at the speed of light according to the Official Guidebook. And also, he is durable enough to survive a hit from Naruto, who was empowered by the 9-Tails Chakra at that time. Also, his weapon of choice is Senbons, which he can use to hit vital points to either instantly kill his target or render them in a fake death state.
Marie: But like any Ninja in the Naruto verse, Haku holds access to Chakra, which is the power source for Ninjas in that verse. In Haku's case, due to being from the Yuki Clan, he possess the ability to use The Ice Release, a bloodline limit which focuses on utilizing both water and wind together to create ice, and Haku specializes in this.
Justice: And Haku can utilize Jutsus using Chakra as a fuel. And he has a rather impressive moveset. Like the Hidden Jutsu: Thousand Needles of Death, where he creates several needles of ice out of thin air and shoot them towards the foe, The Crystal Ice Magic Mirrors Jutsu, which creates 21 ice mirrors, with 12 at ground level, 8 floating above the first 12 and angled towards the ground, and the final mirror is above the rest and facing the ground, where Haku can simply teleport to each mirror, or even from their fragments if they are broken, with him also being capable of creating additional mirrors out of the 21 used for the technique, and The Ice Rock Dome of Magnificent Nothingness Jutsu, which is a dome made out of ice that is used to either act as a defensive technique to protect from attacks, or as a trap to entrap opponents inside of them.
Morning Star: However, Haku still has flaws. Like all Ninjas in the Naruto verse, Haku cannot use his Jutsus without his hands, and won't be able to use his Jutsus should his hands get injured in any way, as well as the fact that he runs on a limited amount of Chakra, and should he run out of it, he won't be able to do anything. Also, his Ice Mirrors can be broken with enough brutal force, and the more Haku maintains them, the slower he becomes, and the more Chakra he burns.
Judge: Even so, Haku has became 1 of the most iconic characters despite his short debut in the series. So watch out of him, because this girl-like boy...Can freeze you to death.
"I realized that was the most painful thing one could feel...The feeling that you are not needed by anyone in this world."
Esdeath[]
Morning Star: The Empire. A place where both primitive lifestyle and technology combine to further advance the arts of war.
Judge: In the era of the 1st Emperor, several beasts called Danger Beasts were collected to create weapons called Teigu, or Imperial Arms, with each weapon holding its own unique attributes. Before his death, the 1st Emperor created 48 Teigu, to which he distributed all over the country.
Marie: Fast forwarding a couple 100 years, a corrupted man that went by the name of Honest was appointed as the Prime Minister of The Empire, where he poisoned the current Emperor at that time, before shoving the rest of the poison up the throat of the dead Emperor's wife, leaving their young child to rule over The Empire, with Honest controlling the still inexperienced and naive kid to do whatever he pleased.
Justice: And to fight off the corruption, a group named The Revolutionary Army rose for the sake of the people, and on their head was the famous group of Night Raid, but Honest was expecting that, and held his own ace through The Strongest Duo of The Empire. The 1st was the general that had complete control over lightning, Budo. And the 2nd was The Empire's Strongest, and the Ice Queen...Esdeath.
Morning Star: Born to the famous and brutal Partas Clan in the deserted and frozen areas of The Empire, Esdeath lived on the law of The Survival Of The Fittest, then 1 day, she witnessed her entire clan massacred, including her own father, the leader of the clan. This made Esdeath enter The Empire and into the ranks of the Imperial Army, eventually making her name as The Empire's Strongest.
Judge: Esdeath is strong enough to crush skulls and tear apart humans with her bare hands, as well as creating craters with her leg slamming on the ground and fight off an army of 1000000 soldiers and 10 Teigu users including Akame herself, fast enough to dodge lightning and even keep up with those who can outrun it at Mach 1480, and even keep up with Akame, who can survive her storm that can move at 1.85% the speed of light, and finally she is durable enough to tank a hit from Evolved Incursio Tatsumi, who can send the giant mecha Shikoutazer flying away with a single punch through several cities away, where Shikoutazer weights around 1000000 tons! She is also an expert in human anatomy that she can either cripple someone or even outright kill them by attacking from a certain body spot, as well as being an expert when using a sword, namely a rapier.
Marie: But what makes Esdeath dangerous is not only this, but it's her prowess over ice, given to her through her own Teigu: Demon Extract. Now, while a small sip would drive 1 to insanity and eventually death, Esdeath gulped all of the chalice in 1 go, effectively resisting the mind screwing effects of the blood of the Danger Beast, which gave her the ability to manipulate ice out of nothingness.
Morning Star: Esdeath's ice arsenal consists of icicles of various sizes, ice thorns and towers, ice spires, ice blenders, ice walls, ice living creatures like horses, ice limbs that can replace her own in case they were torn, ice trees that can fire ice projectiles, ice shields, ice armors, ice meteors, ice entrapment, where she can trap an opponent instantly in ice before shattering them apart, and she can wrap ice parts around her wrists and ankles and make them float to give herself the ability to fly.
Justice: Aside from the abilities of her Teigu, Esdeath possess this aura of invincibility that she surrounds herself with, which not only does it scare anyone unable to resist it around her, but also conceals any kind of openings for attacks around Esdeath herself. She can also sense others' presence from several meters if not kilometers away from her.
Judge: Returning to her Teigu, and like any Teigu user, Esdeath possess a Trump Card, an ability exclusive to a Teigu that makes it unique, where it's the strongest attribute a Teigu has to offer. But unlike any Teigu user shown in the series, Esdeath does not possess 1, or 2, she possess 3 Trump Cards! And she was the 1 to create them! A feat that's considered impossible to do!
Marie: The 1st Trump Card is The Ice Calvary, where Esdeath can create an army of ice centaurs that she is capable of controlling with her mind to aid her in the battlefield. Note that she can use it instantly given the abnormal value of her stamina, which means that it doesn't need any preparation time to execute.
Morning Star: The 2nd Trump Card is The Ice Storm Commander-In-Chief, a massive storm that spammed a large part of the Earth and covered it in ice and snow. When the storm is active, Esdeath's powers over ice are increased to beyond their limits, and her stamina becomes limitless as it's restored by the second.
Justice: This storm holds dry snow, which holds density worth of 400 kg/m^3. Knowing this, and knowing that the timeframe is around 0.5 seconds, which is the time that took the storm to cover this part of the planet, this would mean that Esdeath must have released a power output worth of 12.73 Petatons of TNT, which is more than 3 times stronger than the power output required to wipe all 5 continents and all oceans from face of the entire planet, which is also supported by the fact that Esdeath was stated to be capable of attacking the very world and its lands.
Marie: The 3rd and final Trump Card, and by so far the strongest, is Mahapadma, which is basically Esdeath stopping time and space for half a minute at most, leaving the enemy under her mercy.
Morning Star: Even so, Esdeath is still fallible. Mahapadma can only be used once in a day without the aid of her Ice Storm Commander-In-Chief, and Esdeath herself is a sadist to the core, preferring to toy with her opponents and prolong the battle between her opponents to draw out her thrill and bloodlust for battle and bloodshed, which was the same trait that caused her death.
Judge: Nevertheless, Esdeath has implanted her mark in the history of both anime and manga, even after her death. So even reaching out for her is next to impossible, and she won't bother with staying for too long in 1 place, because she is just here...To have a good fight.
"I don’t understand the feelings of the weak. The law of the world is survival of the fittest. It’s how the weak are weeded out. It just means those people that die were too weak. It’s only natural for the weak to perish"
Toshiro Hitsugaya[]
Morning Star: We all know about the existence of Heaven, Hell, Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels, And Soul Reapers. But right now, we are to focus on Soul Reapers, or Shinigami.
Judge: Entering Soul Society, a place that is considered the Heaven of the Bleach verse, where this place exists to house not only the dead souls of other people, but also Shinigami, whose job is to guide lost souls to Soul Society, or Hell depending on their actions in the world to prevent them from falling into the realm in between both Heaven and Hell.
Marie: This realm is called Hueco Mundo, a place that is used to house creatures known as Hollows, which are entities that form upon the soul of a human being or an animal fall into the depths of this place, and it's the Shinigamis' job to fight them.
Justice: And for this, the police unit of Soul Society surfaced, which goes by the name of The Gotei 13, to fight off those Hollows and guide the lost souls to Soul Society. And out of those existed someone that was the leader of the 10th Division of the Gotei 13, which is our own main focus today. His name...Is Toshiro Hitsugaya.
Morning Star: Even as young child living with his grandmother and childhood friend, who fans also seem to think that they are romantically close, Toshiro was always hearing the voices of an entity calling for him, to which after a meeting with a Shinigami, namely Rangiku Matsumato, he decided to become a Shinigami, to which he enrolled into the 10th Division of the Gotei 13 due to his hard work, and eventually, climbed into the ranks to become the leader of the Division itself, with his Lieutenant being Rangiku herself, the same 1 who encouraged him on becoming a Shinigami in the 1st place.
Judge: Toshiro is strong enough to obliterate a huge building by pulling his sword out of its sheath, hold off an entire city with his powers, create a storm that covered an entire city and destroy a building-sized sword that not even Kenpachi's sword, which was able to destroy a meteor that was stated to destroy Seireitei, which would yield a destructive capacity worth of 10 Teratons of TNT would even hope to even graze it with even repeated strikes.
Marie: He's fast enough to dodge a blade traveling at the speed of lightning, with said blade being a mere centimeter away from his eye, casually cut missiles from air, and keep up with those who can dodge Yhwach's Auswahlen at 48% the speed of light.
Justice: He is also durable enough to survive crashing through several buildings, withstand being crushed by a building-sized Quincy, namely Gerard, and even endure explosions that can tear through cities.
Morning Star: But Toshiro's powers lies in his Zanpakuto, which is the weapon used by any Shinigami. A Zanpakuto can normally take the shape of a sword, and at rare cases, can take the form of any other object used for fighting. In Toshiro's case, his Zanpakuto is a unique katana that goes by the name of Hyorinmaru, a Zanpakuto that is considered the strongest in the art of ice manipulation.
Judge: A Zanpakuto holds 2 forms: The Shikai and The Bankai. The Shikai is the initial release of the Zanpakuto, releasing its first stages and removing some of the limiters on said weapon through a voice command or by calling the weapon's name. By calling out its name, Toshiro's Hyorinmaru allows him to manipulate water and ice through the form of a chinese dragon that erupts from the tip of the blade, with a long chain with a crescent blade dangling from the pummel of the hilt, which freezes anything upon contact with it.
Marie: Toshiro's Shikai has 2 techniques up its sleeve...Or blade. Tenso Jurin is where Toshiro can drop the temperature of his surroundings by manipulating the water in the atmosphere and turn it to ice, and Rokui Hyokitsujin, where Toshiro can trap the opponent in a pillar of ice using a trap that consists of a 5-pentagonal snowflake-shaped ice crystals on the ground.
Morning Star: And that's not even half of what Toshiro's Zanpakuto can do. Hyorinmaru, like any kind of Zanpakuto, holds its Shikai and Bankai state. The Bankai state is the final stage of the power of a Zanpakuto, where it releases its own true power in the form of being stronger than the Shikai release with around 10 times. In Toshiro's case, his Zanpakuto's Bankai is called Daiguren Hyorinmaru, which is pretty much his Shikai, but with more abilities and more ice to control compared to the limited amounts that Toshiro can control in his Shikai state.
Justice: When his Bankai is activated, Toshiro obtains limbs of ice around his own limbs, ice wings that can act as a shield for him, and an ice tail which he can use for combat as well. And should the ice encasing his body gets destroyed, it gets automatically repaired by absorbing the moisture around it. In this state, Toshiro holds multiple unique abilities. Like Zanhyo Ningyo, where Toshiro can create a clone out of ice with it, Ryusenka, where anything is instantly covered in ice the moment Toshiro stabs his sword with it, Guncho Tsurara, which is basically Toshiro creating dozens of ice daggers and send them towards the opponents, Hyoryu Senbi, where Toshiro sneds a crescent arc of ice towards his enemies, Sennen Hyoro, where Toshiro can create many ice pillars around his opponents, and use them to crush them, and Hyoten Hyakkaso, which opens a huge hole in the clouds to drop snow from it on the opponents, where any area that is touched by 1 grain of snow gets ice flowers sprouting all over it.
Marie: But this is not all of it. You see, after training with his Bankai, Toshiro discovered that the petals that form behind him when he activates his Bankai are actually suppressants to the true power of his Bankai, and once all of the 12 petals melt away, Daiguren Hyorinmaru evolves into its true and maximum potential, where Toshiro has his own dream coming true: He becomes taller and more handsome!
Judge: Marie? Are you okay? Your nose is bleeding...
Justice: Just let her be. She's just delusional. Toshiro already has his eyes on Momo anyways.
Morning Star: Ahem...Anyways, in his Completed Bankai state, Toshiro's already massive prowess over ice grows even further, to the point that anything that he either touches or touches him gets flash frozen instantly, as well as anything that his sword cuts, and anything frozen by his ice has its abilities sealed away and nullified.
Marie: You forgot his most powerful attack: Shikai Hyoketsu, where he freezes everything around him in less than an instant after building up his powers in 4 seconds flat! Now that's what i call cool!
Justice: Seriously? First, a pervert, and now a bad pun maker?
Judge: She's so lame...
Marie: Like you are 1 to talk, you stupid lame theorist!
Morning Star: So much power doesn't deny the fact that Toshiro is not without weaknesses. He is extremely short-tempered, and takes everything around him seriously, to the point that he may miss small details that can be important in the battlefield, and as a Shinigami, who solely uses his Zanpakuto in the battlefield, Toshiro has never been shown to resort to hand-to-hand combat. Also, Hyorinmaru is completely useless if there is intense heat in the air, as Toshiro cannot use its techniques without having moist in the air. What's more, the amount of ice that Toshiro can control in the Shikai state of Hyorinmaru is extremely small and limited compared to the Bankai form, limiting Toshiro to how much ice he can use in the battlefield. And finally, speaking of Hyorinmaru, Toshiro relies on it in his battle, as all of his arsenal comes solely from it, and without it, he is completely defenseless.
Judge: But even so, and despite the fact that he will still have the height of a child no matter how much he naps, Toshiro has proven his prowess over and over, which made him climb to the top tiers of the Bleach verse. So watch out, because once this shorty over there gets angry...He can give you a frostbite.
"We are like fireworks. We climb, shine, and always go our separate ways and become further apart. But even if that time comes, let's not disappear like a firework. Let's continue to shine...Forever"
The Combatants Are Set[]
Morning Star: Alright. The combatants are set, and we have run the data through all possibilities.
Marie: Eek! I'm rooting for my husbando Shiro-chan!
Justice: It's time to see who will survive in this frozen hell...
Judge: It's Time For A DEATH BATTLE!
Poll[]
The Beginning[]
Unknown Location
Blinking their eyes to look at the cloudy, yet sunny sky, the figure opened his eyes to see themselves in a place where several houses and alleys existed, with people walking peacefully. They placed their hands on their body, and found that their limbs were still intact, before brushing a hair over their long, light blue hair, and rubbing their ocean blue eyes.
When she woke up, Esdeath found herself in a strange place, as if her battle with Akame never happened, as if her death wasn't even there to begin with. Her injuries didn't even exist.
She sighed before slowly walking towards a civilian, and then opened her mouth to speak to him.
"Excuse me. Where are we? What is this place?" She asked.
"Oh? i see that you are a newcomer. This is Soul Society, or the afterlife to be more exact" The civilian answered, to which it made Esdeath's heart skpi a beat.
So she was dead.
Interesting, though. Considering the fact that she felt very alive right now.
Her superhuman senses suddenly caught a powerful uproar of power from far away, which piqued her attention to it.
Ignoring the civilian speaking to her, Esdeath headed towards the power source.
At another location
At a point in 1 of the buildings, a short man with spiky white hair and ocean blue eyes, wearing a black robe underneath a sleeveless white haori with a long katana strapped to his back was running towards another building far away, jumping on the top of buildings.
Toshiro Hitsugaya was informed of a massive source of energy that was distorting a certain point in space and time inside Soul Society, so he sprung towards the source.
At the same time, 3 figures fell from the sky, and on the top of the building that held the distortion. The 1st figure was a woman with braided long white hair, and a blue battle dress. The 2nd figure was a man with black eyes and black short hair, who only wore a pair of black trousers as his outfit, leaving his bare chest which had a strange dark blue fairy-like tattoo on the right side of his chest, and the 3rd figure was a boy that had black hair that was shaped int a bun, with brown eyes, and a black and green robe as his outfit.
What Weiss Schnee remembers was the fact that a Grimm hit the ship she was on, before she fell from it. The last thing she saw was the concrete into her face, before she fell right here.
Gray Fullbuster was not the luckiest guy, as it all started when he was about to seal off Zeref, only for said Dark Mage to blast him off when he was preparing for the Lost Iced Shell spell, where he found himself here afterwards.
As for Haku Yuki, he remembers taking Kakashi Hatake's Lightning Blade to the heart, and succumbing to it, before finding himself falling from the sky, then on the top of a building.
The 3 newcomers stood on their feet, before they noticed what looked like a black hole manifest, with a massive power level emitting from it. Bracing themselves for anything, they were soon surprised when a small child popped out from it, with the strange black mass disappearing in thin air. Said child was a small petite girl who looked to be around 14, with light blue long hair and ocean blue eyes. Her outfit consisted of a green raincoat with rabbit ears and green rain boots, with a white rabbit puppet located in her left hand.
The reason that Yoshino Himekawa was thrown here was due to a weird phenomenon that occurred after Tenka's world collapsed, which caused a small black hole to suck her into a different space, namely Soul Society.
She stood on her small feet, looking around her, and at the same time, Esdeath and Toshiro showed up.
"What does that supposed to mean?" Toshiro asked, slightly annoyed. He then gasped upon feeling the immense spiritual energy coming out from each 1 of the other 5 around him, with the biggest amounts coming out from the woman that was wearing a military general outfit. Sensing this, Toshiro's hand unconsciously reached for his Zanpakuto, to which the other 5 noticed this, which caused each 1 of them to either reach for their weapons or to enter their own fighting stances. Toshiro realized that he must do something regarding those 5, since 1 would pose a huge threat to Soul Society with the spiritual energy that was emitted, but for the others, this guy was trying to kill them, and for Esdeath, it was extremely thrilling, if the twisted grin on her face was any evidence.
Each 1 of them was literally dead sans Yoshino, but now...
Now it's time to know...Who would survive...
Who would survive...The death after the death...
Round 1: Abandoned By Family[]
And without warning, 4 of the combatants jumped away from the building, leaving only Weiss and Haku, who blinked at this, almost comically, before entering their fighting stance, with Weiss brandishing Myrtenaster, and Haku taking out a handful of Senbons in both hands between his fingers, both stared at each other, ready for a fight.
Haku started by throwing a torrent of Senbons towards Weiss, who swiftly dodged around them, making her way towards him, before stabbing forwards with Myrtenaster, with Haku barely blocking it with his Senbons, gritting his teeth at the power towards the sword thrust.
"Too fast!" Haku thought, before he pushed himself away from Weiss, before weaving his hands through handsigns.
"Secret Technique: Thousand Water Needles of Death!"
Roaring out the name of his technique, dozens of ice needles appeared around Haku out of thin air, before rocketing towards Weiss, who pointed her rapier towards them, causing a light blue spherical barrier to erupt from the tip of Myrtenaster, which blocked all the ice Senbons targeting Weiss, with said Senbons shattering apart the moment they made contact with the shield Weiss created.
Weiss then charged forward, before stabbing towards Haku, who dodged at the nick of time, with the blade of Weiss barely grazing his neck. Haku then stabbed forward with 1 of his Senbons, only for the Senbon to shatter the moment it made contact with Weiss' skin.
"What?" Haku gasped in shock and confusion. This gave Weiss the opportunity to counterattack, as she delivered a roundhouse kick to Haku's face, causing the Hunter Ninja to skid back, before he saw a black Glyph underneath his feet, and not a moment later, he found himself floating off in mid-air, as if gravity abandoned him. Weiss then pointed Myrtenaster towards the immobile Haku, with the revolver in the rapier spinning, before it settled on the red Dust color. The blade then glowed bright red, before a huge fire ball erupted from the tip of the blade, traveling towards Haku, before engulfing him completely. Weiss let out a breath she didn't know she was holding, before gasping, then she jumped forward to avoid a rain of ice Senbons raining down on her. Haku then jumped towards her, before charging forward, and stabbing forward, only for Weiss to block it using Myrtenaster. She then pushed Haku away, before a blue Glyph appeared in front of her stretched hand. The Glyph then shot 5 light blue small stars towards Haku, where said stars hit his wrists, ankles and torso, restraining him in mid-air. Haku tried to struggle but to no avail. He then gasped upon seeing Weiss' blade impaling his abdomen, before coughing out blood.
"It's over" Weiss said, before pulling her blade out from Haku's stomach, and once the small stars restraining Haku vanished, said Hunter Ninja fell turned into an ice sculpture, before shattering apart upon falling on the ground.
"An ice clone?!" Weiss gasped in shock.
"Ice Style Secret Technique: Denonic Mirroring Crystal Ice Mirrors!"
After Haku released the name of his technique, 21 ice mirrors flashed instantly into existence, surrounding Weiss from all directions save for below her feet. She then saw Haku touching 1 of the mirrors, before Weiss witnessed him literally entering them, and then his image appeared on each mirror that was surrounding Weiss, looking down on the Huntress.
"Time to end this..."
As Haku whispered this, thousands of Senbons rained down on Weiss, to which she proceeded to parry the Senbons that traveled for her, and the 1s that she missed bounced off her skin as a result of her Aura blocking it for her. Haku, realizing that this was useless, emerged from 1 of the mirrors behind Weiss, with 1 of his Senbons in his hands, intending on stabbing Weiss from behind, only for the Huntress to spin on her heel in time to block Haku's assault with Myrtenaster, before pushing him back. Haku then went for a nearby ice mirror to enter it, but Weiss was faster, and she charged towards him, to which Haku noticed, and managed to barely tilt his head in the nick of time to avoid Weiss thrusting her rapier forwards, with the blade barely grazing Haku's neck.
"She's so fast!" Haku thought, before brandishing 1 of his Senbons, and retorted to stabbing Weiss, who parried it by swatting the Senbon from Haku's hand using her rapier, before spinning on her heel, and then swung Myrtenaster downwards, cleaving Haku's left arm clean off his shoulder, causing Haku to bite his lower lip while holding the stub that was originally his left arm. He then saw Weiss catching her blade in full length in front of her face, tracing 2 of her fingers on it, before a yellow Glyph that had a clock shaped design appeared underneath her feet, with the sound of a clock ticking rapidly was heard shortly afterwards. The yellow Glyph then disappeared, before Weiss spun around on her heel, and caught Myrtenaster in a reverse grip, before stabbing the blade into the concrete ground, causing the ground to suddenly erupt into a torrent of fire that engulfed both Haku and the ice mirrors, with Haku's screams being muffled up with the beam of flames engulfing him. After a minute, the fire subsided, and with it vanished the crystal ice mirrors that Haku summoned, and Haku was burned, but barely alive, and standing on his feet, gasping heavily for breath as the oxygen was completely knocked out from his entire body. Weiss, seeing this, took the advantage, before several white Glyphs appeared around Haku. Weiss then charged towards Haku's vulnerable form in a burst of speeds the Hunter Ninja couldn't comprehend, before knocking him off his feet, sending him flying up, before bouncing on a Glyph, causing her to bounce back to Haku's midair form, blitzing him, before zooming towards another Glyph and repeating the same process. She proceeded to blitz Haku at blinding speeds, with multiple cuts appearing on the body of the Hunter Ninja, who felt his life slowly being taken away from him. The last thing he saw was a huge white Glyph above him, before witnessing Weiss landing her feet on it. She then bouncing off it, heading downwards towards Haku with Myrtenaster pointed forward, whose last thoughts traveled to the man that he saw as a father.
"Zabuza...I'm sorry..."
Weiss then landed on Haku, stabbing through his stomach with Myrtenaster as the blade impaled his abdomen and protuded from his back, causing the Hunter Ninja's eyes to widen, before coughing out blood, before he and Weiss landed on the ground, with Weiss using his body as a cushion to land safely on the rooftop of the building they were fighting on. The impact was so hard that the roof showed cracks, with Haku's body becoming limb, devoid of any sign of life.
K.O.! (1)
Weiss took out Myrtenaster from Haku's body, revealing the blade being drenched in the blood of the now dead Hunter Ninja. She then swung her blade to the side, causing the blood on the blade to scatter away from it. She then looked up from Haku's body, only to witness the other 4 combatants fighting against each other.
She just took a deep breath, before releasing it. She needed some time to rest in order to recover some Aura because the fights ahead are going to be really tougher from the 1 she had.
Yeah...This icy carnage...Is far from over...
Round 2: Clash Of Frozen Fairies[]
On another building, Esdeath and Gray begun their clash. Gray was the first to start, as he slammed his right fist on his left palm, with snow suddenly gathering around him.
"Ice Make: Lance!" Gray exclaimed before extending both arms forward towards Esdeath, causing a light blue magical circle to appear instantly, before several ice lances were launched from it towards Esdeath, who simply stood in her place with a twisted smile on her face, before in a swift motion, she took out her rapier and swung it at speeds faster than the eye could follow, slicing all of Gray's ice lances to small ice pieces. However, Gray wasn't done, and he placed his fist in his palm once again.
"Ice Make: Hammer!" He roared out before a massive ice hammer appeared above Gray's head, before it swung itself with some unknown force at Esdeath, who stabbed her rapier into the rooftop she was standing on, and used her hands to grab the ice hammer, stopping it from crushing her with her amazing and absurd strength.
"Huh?" Gray said with a comically shocked expression on his face at the amazing display of strength in front of him.
"You will have to do better than that, ice boy" Esdeath said before pushing away the ice hammer that she was lifting, tossing it towards Gray, who gritted his teeth, and placed his fist in his palm once again.
"Ice Make: Ice Cannon!" He exclaimed before a bazooka-shaped gun that was made out of ice was constructed in both of his hands. He then took aim at the ice hammer coming towards him, before pulling the trigger of his bazooka, causing a ball of ice to shoot out of the muzzle and towards the ice hammer, where both collided so hard to create an ice dust explosion that obstructed Gray's view from his opponent. However, he gasped as Esdeath burst from the snow dust screen in front of him, with her rapier pointed forward. Gray then tilted his body and bent his back to dodge Esdeath's blade and avoid being impaled. However, his current position left him wide open as Esdeath slammed her elbow into his stomach so hard to cause him to spit out saliva, before Gray's body impacted with the solid concrete of the rooftop of the building he and his female adversary were fighting on, causing a crater to fragment the concrete. Esdeath then lashed her arm out, catching Gray by the throat, before throwing him above her head into the sky. She then clapped her hands together, before declaring out loud.
"Weissschnabel!" She exclaimed before a flash of blue light appeared around Gray, and the next thing that followed was Gray being surrounded by hundreds of hundreds of icicles that were pointing towards him.
"Oh...Crap..."
He couldn't say anything else as the icicles were heading towards him, and he was completely defenseless. Gritting his teeth, Gray slammed his fist into his palm.
"Ice Make: Cocoon!" He exclaimed before a cocoon made out of ice encased him completely, where said cocoon acted as a shield for Gray to protect him from Esdeath's icicles, which found themselves stuck in that cocoon. Once the icicles were gone, the cocoon around Gray shattered apart, leaving him in a free fall. He then gasped upon seeing Esdeath down on the building slamming her palm into the rooftop.
"Grauhorn!" She yelled before a massive ice thorn erupted from the rooftop, heading towards Gray, who slammed his fist once again into his palm, preparing for another spell.
"Ice Make: Gungnir!" He roared out before a large blue magic circle appeared behind him, before a massive spear of ice emerged from it, colliding with Esdeath's ice thorn, causing both ice creations to impale each other, bringing both their journeys to a halt. Gray then landed his feet on his ice spear, before running downwards. Esdeath, who saw this, smirked, before wiping out her blade once again, and proceeded to run upwards on her ice thorn towards Gray, who, while running downwards, slammed his fist into his opened palm another time.
"Ice Make: Crescent Blades!" He exclaimed, before a magic circle appeared in front of his extended palms, before curved ice blades shot out of the circle towards Esdeath, to which Esdeath's smirk widened even more as she proceeded to casually swing her sword while running upwards towards Gray, slicing down the ice crescent blades heading for her with immense ease, shocking Gray to no avail. He then took a deep breath, before entering his usual stance for another spell, but this time, he himself ran towards Esdeath, before a blue magical circle appeared between his 2 hands.
"Ice Make: Death Scythe!" He exclaimed before a scythe made out of ice manifested in his hands, and once he and Esdeath neared each other, Esdeath's rapier clashed with Gray's scythe, and the mage tried to push the general, but Esdeath proved to be the superior in strength, casually pushing a struggling Gray with a twisted smile plastered on her face, before delivering a swift kick to his ribs, causing Gray to lose his grip on his ice scythe, before he witnessed Esdeath slamming her palm into the massive ice thorn that both of them created, before he gasped in pain upon feeling the sharp pain of having the sole of his left foot being impaled by a sharp icicle, and his other leg being badly grazed by another as Esdeath caused several small ice pricks to emerge from the ice thorn they were standing on. The pain in his legs left Gray wide open to Esdeath, who threw a punch to his stomach, knocking all the oxygen from the mage's lungs, before spinning on her heel to deliver a roundhouse kick to Gray's face, sending him off his feet and causing him to fall off the ice thorn, to which Esdeath jumped downwards, but not before creating pieces of ice around both of her wrists and ankles, and flew downwards towards Gray's falling form, who bit his own tongue to try and ignore the pain, and then slammed his fist into his palm.
"Ice Make: Kite!" He roared out, causing a huge kite to form underneath him, to which he placed his feet on, before the kite flew upwards, with Gray commanding it to fly towards Esdeath, who was descending towards him, completely ignoring his wounds. Gray then slammed both hands together, before opening his palms and extending his arms towards Esdeath.
"Ice-Make Unlimited: One Sided Chaotic Dance!" He exclaimed before dozens of ice swords appeared around the mage floating in the air, before Gray pointed towards Esdeath, and the moment he did so, the countless ice swords rocketed towards Esdeath, who despite being about to be turned into a pin cushion, was still smirking for some reason. He then saw her snapping her fingers, causing massive icicles to appear out of thin air, and for said icicles to fly towards Gray's ice swords, causing both icicles and swords to shatter apart when they made contact with each other. Esdeath then snapped her fingers, before a massive meteor of ice appeared out of thin air, which headed towards Gray. He then saw Esdeath jumping in the air, with the meteor just passing by her, as she spun in the air, before slamming her palm into the meteor.
"Hagelsprung!" She exclaimed while slamming her palm at the meteor at the same time, causing it to be sent at blinding speeds towards Gray, who gasped, before gritting his teeth as black markings started to spread around his upper torso and up to his right arm, encasing his face, before he extended his palms forward, pointing them towards the ice meteor.
"Ice Make: Silver!" Gray yelled before a massive ice wall erupted from the ground beneath them, and headed in between both Gray and Esdeath, blocking the ice meteor, but even then, the ice meteor proved to be superior, as cracks appeared on the massive ice wall Gray created. Seeing that his ice wall was giving up, Gray then took a deep breath, and at the same time, the ice wall shattered, causing the ice meteor to continue its journey towards the flying Gray, and this was the sign for Gray.
"Ice Devil's Rage!"
Roaring out, Gray released a beam of snow and ice towards the ice meteor from his mouth, causing the ice meteor to slow down its advance, and started to show cracks in it, and just as Gray closed his mouth, which caused the beam of ice and snow to disappear and for the ice meteor to continue on heading towards him, both of his arms were encased in ice, which took the form of gauntlets, before he roared out.
"Ice Devil's Zeroth Destruction Fist!"
Gray threw his arms forwards, slamming them into the ice meteor, and the moment he did so, the ice meteor shattered apart into glittering dust and snow, scattering throughout the sky around both Esdeath and Gray. An icicle flew towards Gray, to which the mage caught it easily, before placing it in his mouth...And chewing it with his teeth.
"Oho? You can eat ice? That's interesting...And quaint" Esdeath said in amusement.
"To think that you would force me to use this power...You are indeed strong, crazy lady" Gray said, before clapping his hands, causing snow to suddenly appear and dance around him, before it formed into his hands in the form of a bow and arrow of ice, which he pointed it at Esdeath.
"Ice Devil's Zeroth Destruction Bow!"
Upon roaring that out, Gray fired his arrow towards Esdeath, who simply just flew still in her place with a calm smile on her face, and once the arrow reached her...
"...Huh?!"
...It phased through her, before her image disappeared.
"Over here"
Gray couldn't react to what happened next, as his left arm suddenly popped off its place, falling down to the ground beneath the 2 flying opponents, with Esdeath appearing behind him, her rapier's blade drenched in blood, with the stub that was Gray's arm exploding in a geyser of blood, which caused Gray to scream in a combination of pain, shock, fear and surprise. He didn't even have time to scream as his ice kite that he was standing on suddenly sprouted a massive ice spire that stabbed Gray in the stomach, before sending him upwards to the sky even further. Gray gritted his teeth, as blood escaped from his mouth through the gaps of his teeth, before using his remaining arm to yank himself off the ice spire, sending him in a free fall to the ground, where he saw Esdeath below him, where she crossed both of her arms, causing countless enormous diamond-shaped boulders to appear in thin air around Esdeath.
"Let's see how can you dodge in mid air without being able to fly!" Esdeath exclaimed before her projectiles skyrocketed towards Gray, who clicked his tongue, before extending his remaining arm, causing a massive blue magic circle to appear in front of his opened arm.
"Ice Make: Ice Impact!" He roared out in desperation, before a massive drill-headed hammer made out of ice appeared above him, before said hammer fell downwards, passing through the falling Gray, heading towards Esdeath's ice projectiles, crushing them upon contact, but it was showing cracks. Nevertheless, it manged to destroy the projectiles heading for its master. Esdeath, seeing that the massive ice hammer was heading towards her, had her grin widening even more, before she flew towards it, pointing her rapier forwards, aiming for the ice hammer.
"Shatter!"
The moment Esdeath's blade touched the already cracked and damaged ice hammer, it caused it to shatter apart in a torrent of ice glittering and dust, but Esdeath didn't stop there, and increased her flight speed, heading straight for Gray, who saw this, and took a deep breath, having already consumed a large amount of his magic due to using the last spell using only 1 hand. He then squeezed his mana reverses for the remaining mana to make 1 final spell, where snow and ice materialized once again, and for the last time around his intact palm, taking the shape of an ethereal long ice sword. And once he and Esdeath were inches from each other, both exclaimed out loud.
"Ice Devil's Zeroth Long Sword!"
"DIE!"
The 2 swung their blades at each other...
...And passed each other.
But 1 only flew upwards, completely unharmed, with the other being sliced multiple times around his entire body, with his ice sword shattering into pieces, flying in the form of glittering dust in the wind as his bloodied and battered body resumed its free fall to the ground.
Gray's eyes were widened, with tears flowing from his eyes as he was nearing the solid concrete ground. As this was happening, flashes of his friends from Fairy Tail flashed in front of him, with the last image being that of a certain beautiful blue haired woman smiling brightly at him.
"Juvia...Everyone...Forgive me...I'm not coming back..."
This was Gray Fullbuster's last thoughts, before colliding with the ground, turning into a massive drop of blood as his body completely burst into a mix of blood, brains and bones on the ground.
K.O.! (2)
Esdeath landed gracefully on the rooftop of the building that she and Gray were fighting on, smiling calmly, before looking down at Gray's remains, then at the sound of her other adversaries fighting each other.
Her twisted smile returning to her face, Esdeath decided to observe from far away, and at the same time, recover some power for the upcoming next battle.
Round 3: Of Dragons And Rabbits[]
On another building, Yoshino jumped backwards to avoid Toshiro slamming his sword at her, causing the sword swing to miss her and hit the ground where she was previously standing on.
"I really don't want to fight! I just want to return back home!" Yoshino called for Toshiro.
"I'm sorry, but i won't be stopped here by this claim of yours. Your power level is very high and dangerous. Not to mention that you are not a dead soul, let alone a human, so i will have to dispose of you" Toshiro said.
"Yoshino. It seems that talking won't do anything. We must fight" Yoshinon said to his partner, to which she hesitatingly nodded to her puppet partner, before steeling a glare towards Toshiro. She then threw her free arm above her head, before declaring out loud.
"Zadkiel!"
Suddenly, the building Toshiro and Yoshino was standing on shook violently, before a massive, building-sized rabbit tore a hole through the building's roof. The rabbit roared out, and the roar was so powerful that Toshiro Flash Stepped away as the shock wave tore through the tiles of the rooftop. Toshiro appeared in mid air, as if standing on thin air, but flying at the same time, watching as a massive hole tore through the rooftop of the building.
Suddenly, it started to rain heavily around Toshiro, with snow and ice swirling around Yoshino and Zadkiel, before Toshiro witnessed Yoshino climbing on the top of her Angel.
"So that's how is it? Well, 2 can play that game" He said before raising his Zanpakuto to the air, pointing its blade towards the sky.
"Sit Upon The Frozen Heavens! Hyorinmaru!"
And upon exclaiming this, an extremely long chain with a crescent-shaped blade dangling from it burst from the pummel of Toshiro's Zanpakuto, with ice and snow swirling around Toshiro. The Shinigami then roared out, before swinging his sword down, causing the ice around Toshiro to take the shape of a Chinese dragon made out of ice, which charged towards Yoshino, where her Angel opened its mouth, shooting out a massive ball of ice towards the dragon, to which the dragon easily crashed through it, shattering it apart. However, this was all a mock move to make the ice dragon slow down its charge as Zadkiel, with Yoshino on the top of its head, jumped at the head of the Chinese dragon, causing a sonic boom to be created from the point of the contact between Zadkiel's rabbit legs and the Chinese ice dragon's head, causing cracks to appear on its head, before the Angel jumped to the sky above Toshiro, before opening its mouth to shoot icicles at Toshiro, who swung his sword once again, causing another Chinese ice dragon to erupt from his blade towards the Angel, devouring its icicles in the process, before slamming head on to the Angel, causing Yoshino to yelp as she nearly tripped off the head of her Angel from the impact. The 1st dragon that Toshiro summoned then flew upwards, and slammed itself into Zadkiel, causing Yoshino to yelp once again, before Zadkiel flew in the air, with the 2 Chinese ice dragons flew towards it, and the problem was the fact that the Angel was so fast that the ice dragons couldn't follow it.
Zadkiel then spun, before releasing an ice beam from its mouth towards the ice dragon, petrifying both ice creations with snow and...Ice, before they were shattered apart. This forced Toshiro to charge forward, nearing Zadkiel, before swinging his sword at it, only for the Angel to catch his Zanpakuto in its teeth, before throwing Toshiro away. He then Flash Stepped towards The Angel, before using his entire body to shoulder tackle Zadkiel hard enough to force the Angel to let go of his Zanpakuto. Zadkiel then opened its mouth, before shooting a blast of snow towards Toshiro, who pointed Hyorinmaru at the direction of the beam, causing an ice dragon to erupt from the tip of the blade and headed towards the ice beam. Both ice dragon and ice beam collided, struggling for dominance, and slowly, but surely, Toshiro's ice dragon was gaining dominance, and it didn't take a long time before the ice dragon eventually overpowered the ice beam, before lashing its jaws at Zadkiel, and proceeded to descend to the ground, before crashing down on the concrete so hard to cause a massive smokescreen, with the ice dragon shattering apart into glittering dust that scattered in the wind. Toshiro, seeing that his fight was over, turned around and begun to fly away to see the other individuals...
"Zadkiel: Siryon!"
The moment this voice rang out, Toshiro turned around to its source, which was the crater that Zadkiel was buried in. The smokescreen obstructing Toshiro's view of the Angel was blasted away with a massive chilling wind storm, only to show the figure of Yoshino, but adorned with a beautiful white armor with a white rabbit-shaped helmet above her head, and small black winter gloves, and her Angel, Zadkiel, was nowhere to be found.
Suddenly, Yoshino rocketed towards Toshiro in the air, causing a sonic boom to erupt from the point where she previously stood, tearing away the ground that was underneath her feet and causing massive areas to flash freeze, which made Toshiro gasp at how much fast Yoshino was, before she appeared right in front of him. What also annoyed him was the fact that she was taller than him with around 10 or 11 cm, but he decided to push these thoughts aside for now.
"Sirion..."
The moment Yoshino whispered this, a dark blue dome covered both her and the Shinigami, expanding into a radius worth of 10 meters. Toshiro felt the air freeze to absolute zero around him, before he noticed countless icicles appearing above him. This made him realize the situation in front of him clearly, to which he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, as the icicles rained down at him faster than light. Toshiro then snapped his eyes open, before raising Hyorinmaru above his head, pointing it towards the top of the isolated dome.
"Tenso Jurin!"
The moment he roared this out, all of the icicles that were about to pelt him stopped instantly before reaching him, where said ice constructs were mere inches from turning him into a pin cushion, before they turned into snow and ice shards and started to swirl around the length of Toshiro's Zanpakuto, which shocked Yoshino at the display of control and mastery over ice. She was then snapped out of her shock upon seeing the ice swirling around Toshiro's blade getting absorbed into the blade itself, before Toshiro stabbed his Zanpakuto into the 'ground' of the isolated space that Yoshino created.
"Rokui Hyōketsujin!"
The moment he called the name of this technique out, Yoshino was surrounded by a pure white circle that emitted snow from it, before 5 snowflake-shaped ice crystals appeared on the ground in a pentagonal formation around The Hermit Spirit. Each snowflake then sent a line of ice towards each one of them, and after the lines of ice were connected to each one of those crystals, the area Yoshino was in became instantly encased in a large pillar of ice, trapping her in it.
Toshiro, seeing this, flew at high speeds towards Yoshino's frozen form, where the only thing that Yoshino could do was watch with wide eyes while tears that fell from her eyes froze instantly inside the pillar of ice she was trapped in, as the image of the boy that she holds dear in her heart appeared in front of her eyes.
"Shido-san..."
Toshiro roared out, before swinging Hyorinmaru at the pillar that Yoshino was trapped in, passing through it. For a moment, nothing happened, and the next instant, the pillar was slashed in half, causing the isolated space of Sirion to shatter apart like glass around the 2 combatants, before disappearing in the form of glowing glitter scattering throughout the air, with the 2 halves of the ice pillar Yoshino was trapped in shattering into ice shards, taking Yoshino with it, erasing her from existence completely.
"This is my duty...I'm sorry..."
K.O.! (3)
Toshiro then saw Esdeath and Weiss emerging from their hiding spots, jumping off the buildings they were standing on, before landing gracefully on the ground, which made Toshiro nrealize that he has to step it up as the battle was far from over. He then rose his Zanpakuto to the skies, pointing its blade to the sky.
"Bankai: Daiguren Hyorinmaru!"
The instant he declared this, ice and snow swirled around the Shinigami's form, encasing him from head to toe in a mini hurricane, before it faded after an instant, revealing Toshiro having ice limbs encasing his arms and legs, with ice wings and an ice tail appearing behind his back, with his right arm which was holding Hyorinmaru, which now had its held morphing into that of a 8-pointed star, took the form of a small ice dragon with glowing crimson red eyes around his right hand. Toshiro then landed softly on the ground on his feet, landing between both Weiss and Esdeath.
Weiss, upon seeing this, stabbed Myrtenaster into the concrete ground beneath her, causing a massive White Glyph to appear on the ground, before a massive figure ascended from it slowly. Said figure emerged completely as the white Glyph beneath it vanished, revealing itself as massive, small building-sized armored warrior with a massive double edged sword that was nearly its height. The Armas Gigas swung its sword with 1 hand, before resting it on its shoulder.
Esdeath, on the other hand, didn't do anything. Her twisted smile widened even more as the chill of this battle was increasing by the time.
This battle was soon reaching its climax...
Round 4: Frozen X 3[]
This Is Gonna Be A Mass To Remember!
"Guncho Tsurara!"
Wasting no time, Toshiro swung his Zanpakuto up to the sky, causing dozens of ice daggers to instantly appear above his head, before all of those daggers scattered, with half of them heading for Weiss and the other half heading for Esdeath.
Weiss created a white Glyph underneath her feet, causing herself to be sent flying upwards. The Armas Gigas responded by catching her in mid air, before catching her in its giant palm, and proceeded to lift its giant sword, and blocked all of the ice daggers coming towards it with extreme precision and skill. Esdeath, on the other hand, casually weaved through the barrage of ice projectiles headed towards her, and easily sliced through whatever that she didn't dodge.
Weiss then jumped off the Armas Gigas' hand, and proceeded to charge forwards towards Toshiro, with a black and yellow Glyph appearing right in front of Toshiro stick to each other, with Weiss extending Myrtenaster. The Huntress passed through the 2 Glyphs, and the instant she did this, she zoomed towards Toshiro at vast neck breaking speeds, but the Shinigami was aware of this, and his left ice wing moved on its own, blocking the attempted stab attack. His right ice wing then moved as well, blocking a massive spinning ice blender, courtesy of Esdeath, where Toshiro looked at the direction where the ice blender came from, only to see Esdeath smirking at him while extending her arm at full length, with the ice blender being at her left side, indicating that she was the 1 to create that massive ice construct.
Roaring out, Toshiro pumped spiritual energy into his ice wings to make them stronger, which allowed him to push away both the ice blender and Weiss away, where the latter was caught by the Armas Gigas, before said summoning placed his master on its shoulder, before raising its sword above its head, then swung it down, to which it caused Toshiro to block it with his sword, showing his impressive display of strength by pushing away the small building-sized Armas Gigas.
The Shinigami then gasped upon feeling the presence of multiple individuals behind him, to which he perked his eye slightly to the side, only to see millions of millions of ice centaurs in front of him, with several residents of Soul Society panicking and running away, before he looked above him, noticing that his fellow Shinigami from the Gotei 13, including Yamamoto himself, entering the battlefield.
"Captain Toshiro!" Rangiku yelled for her captain.
"Don't worry about me! Evacuate the citizens! Now!" Toshiro yelled his commands, before pushing away the Armas Gigas.
"All Things In Universe Burn To Ash! Ryujin Jakka!"
The moment Yamamoto yelled this command, his Zanpakuto became wreathed in vibrant flames, before he swung it at the ice centaurs, but much to everyone's shock, the centaurs were not affected by ice, despite being made out of ice. A massive torrent of icicles flew from the fire and from behind the centaurs towards Yamamoto, before Izuru created a Kido shield to protect his own Head Captain, before Ikkaku rushed with a manic smirk on his face towards Esdeath, followed by Yumichika and Kenpachi, where the 3 members of the 11th Division charged at Esdeath from all sides, followed by several other Shinigami roaring out while surrounding the Ice General, who simply smirked at this while not moving a finger from her place, with some of the Shinigami army trading blows with the centaurs. From above, Nemu Kurotsuchi jumped from the top of a building, charging spiritual energy in her palm, before roaring out loud in sync with Yumichika, Ikkaku and Kenpachi.
"Gikon Jurinju!"
"Bloom! Fuji Kujaku!"
"Grow! Hozukimaru!"
"Drink! Nozarashi!"
At that moment, Nemu fired a massive ball of spiritual energy down on Esdeath, with Ikkaku's Zanpakuto changing into a wooden spear with a metal blade at the end which was pointed forward, Yumichika's own Zanpakuto turned into a triple sickle blade-shaped katana, where the Shinigami reared it to the side, aiming for a horizontal slash, and Kenpachi's own Zanpakuto turned into a massive, over-sized ax-cleaver hybrid that was 2 times the height of Kenpachi himself, where the Shinigami Captain rose it above his head, where all blade wielding Shinigami aiming to skewer Esdeath apart, who was simply standing as calm as ever with her twisted smile still on her face.
"Pathetic..."
And just as she whispered this, the minds of the 3 Shinigami couldn't comprehend what happened next as their Zanpakutos were sliced into small and tiny pieces of metal and wood, with Esdeath raising her rapier in the air above her head, making it point towards the skies above her.
"What...?!" Yumichika was the 1 that muttered out.
The next instant, an ice thorn erupted from the ground behind Esdeath's back, heading upwards, and impaling Nemu in the abdomen, causing the Shinigami to spit out blood, before the ice thorn had multiple ice thorns branching from it, effectively skewering Nemu from the inside out, with her blood staining the thorns.
What happened afterwards was Marechiyo, Sui-Feng, Renji and Shuhei jumping upwards above Esdeath, where Omaeda extended his palm and exclaimed out loud.
"Bakud #21: Sekienton!"
As the Lieutenant exclaimed this, a blast of red smoke erupted from Marechiyo's opened palms, obstructing Esdeath's view, before she heard 4 consecutive yells.
"Crush! Gegetsuburi!"
"Bankai: Jakuho Raikoben!"
"Reap! Kazishini!"
"Bankai: Soo Zabimaru!"
The moment these shouts entered Esdeath's ears, she saw Marechiyo with a flail that held an iron spiked ball in it, Sui-Feng with an over-sized yellow missile attached to her right arm that was ready to be launched at the human General, Shuhei with a wicked, dual kusarigama blades, and Renji having a blade with a gauntlet that resembled a snake's skull on his right arm, along with the skeletal left arm of a gorilla above his own left arm. Esdeath simply scoffed at this, tugging her hat to hide her eyes with her thumb and pointer fingers.
"Fools..."
Marechiyo threw his spiked ball at Esdeath, only for said female to casually stop it with 1 finger, before catching it with her palm, and casually throwing it towards Shuhei, knocking him off the air, before pulling on the chain of the flail, pulling Marechiyo towards her, before giving a knee to his stomach, causing the Shinigami to spit out blood, before falling to the ground on his back, gasping for breath from Esdeath's knee's impact with his abdomen.
"Your mere presence..."
She then jumped before kicking Sui-Feng in the face, then using her own hand to karate chop her arm that held the missile in it, making the deadly weapon fall off alongside Sui-Feng's arm, where said Shinigami didn't have time to scream as Esdeath used her sword to slit her throat, before grabbing a handful of her hair, and proceeded to throw her to a near by house, sending Sui-Feng crashing into the wall of said house.
"...Gives away..."
She then saw Shuhei jumping once again with his dual scythes in hand, aiming to swing them on Esdeath, with Renji flying towards her. And when both of them were about to stab her with their weapons, Esdeath swiftly kicked their weapons off their hands, where she kicked Renji's sword so hard that his arm was ripped off its socket upon contact, before she proceeded to kick both of them in the face with her metal-tipped boots, causing their faces to burst in blood, and both Shinigamis were knocked out cold as they fell on the ground.
"...Every last bit..."
She spun in the air, just as Marechiyo rose up to his feet. She then free fell towards him, before grabbing him by the back of his head, and slamming him into the ground so hard to cause a crater to form underneath him, where Marechiyo's face burst in blood while being buried in the depths of the crater created in the concrete around him due to Esdeath's casual, but sheer force and power.
"...Of your intentions!"
She stood up proud as ever, while smirking calmly, looking at Marechiyo's unconscious form, before looking around at the other unconscious Shinigami, as well as the other Shinigamis around here, even Yamamoto's eyes widened in shock and disbelief at what he has seen.
A mere soul...Took down the most strongest of Shinigamis single-handed..?! That was something that they have never seen before.
At the same time, Weiss and Toshiro were still fighting together, with around 8 petals of Toshiro's ice flowers having melted away. Toshiro blocked a blow from the Armas Gigas, before pushing away the summon. Weiss then jumped off the Armas Gigas, before creating a white Glyph in mid air, before using it to propel herself towards Toshiro, with Myrtenaster pointed forward. However, the Shinigami was faster and stronger as well, as he proceeded to push away the Armas Gigas, with the strength being so great that the massive summon tripped and fell on its back with a loud thud on the ground, cracking the ground underneath it, before Toshiro positioned his sword in time to block Weiss' charge, before pushing her away, to which Weiss snapped her fingers while falling in air, causing a white Glyph to manifest in thin air, to which Weiss used it to stand straight in the air, confusing Toshiro, if the raised eyebrow was any evidence.
"Don't be surprised. You are not the only 1 that can fly" She said before pointing Myrtenaster at her opponent, causing tens of blue Glyphs to appear behind her, where all those Glyphs had massive icicles erupting from them, before said icicles fired towards Toshiro, who noticed that the Armas Gigas, now at its feet, proceeded to charge forward, to which Toshiro used his ice wings to block both of those attempts. Weiss then snapped her fingers, causing the Glyphs behind her in mid air to change in color from blue to red, before she shot fire balls towards him, which collided with the ice wings, while the Armas Gigas was pushing at the other side of Tohsiro's wings, trying to gain an advantage on the Shinigami.
"I'm not finished yet!" Toshiro yelled, before proceeding to push away the Armas Gigas, causing it to fall on its back once again, and for its sword to fall off its hands, where the giant blade's hilt impaled the concrete, with the sharp blade itself pointing to the sky. He then flew towards Weiss with speeds that the Huntress couldn't comprehend, before slamming into her, knocking her off her feet and causing her Glyphs to disappear due to her losing concentration to maintain them. Luckily for her, the Armas Gigas stood up once again in time to catch its mistress before she could fall on the ground.
"Sennen Hyoro!"
Alerted to the sound, Weiss suddenly gasped as large 4 pillars of ice manifested around both her and the Armas Gigas in a square-like fashion. She then looked at Toshiro, who spun his Zanpakuto in a counter-clockwise motion while pointing the blade on both Weiss and her summon, before the ice pillars suddenly moved closer towards Weiss and the Armas Gigas. This made realization struck Weiss.
This guy is attempting to crush her.
Responding to this, the Armas Gigas threw its master away, saving her from being crushed, as the summon was soon enclosed on by the pillars, which kept on pressing on its body, before the summon's body gave away, before being crushed and vanished into light blue glittering dust that disappeared as it scattered throughout the wind, followed by its sword that was impaled in the ground, where at the same time, Weiss fell on the ground, where the impact from such height had caused a flickering light to engulf her for a second, before fading, indicating that her Aura was now gone.
"Hyoten Hyakkaso!"
Hearing Toshiro's exclaimation, Weiss, who was completely drained from power and was unable to even stand, mustered what left of her strength to look up, only to see a hole opening in the dark clouds in the sky, before light escaped said hole, followed by snow falling down. The snow started falling, until a snowflake touched Weiss' leg, and the moment it did so, flowers and spikes made out of ice erupted, encasing Weiss, whose eyes were wide with shock and horror, before snow started to fall all over her body. This kept on being repeated until Weiss was completely encased in a tower of ice flowers and spikes, with her being at the bottom of it, and tears being frozen on her cheeks. The ice tower then started to crack slowly, before the cracks rapidly appeared around it. Weiss, who was completely frozen, was unable to do anything, with her mind traveling to her 3 best friends and her sister that has supported her all the way.
"Ruby...Yang...Blake...Winter...I'm sorry..."
After this thought traveled in Weiss' mind, the ice tower completely shattered, along with Weiss' own figure, with the ice shards falling apart on the ground, and not even blood was mixed in it.
K.O.! (4)
Toshiro looked somberly at the ice where Weiss was trapped into as the hole in the black clouds in the sky was closed once again. This was 1 of those moments where he hated fighting, as the people that he killed were completely innocent.
But it was his duty, and he really wanted to mourn them...
"Ice Storm Commander-In-Chief!"
...But that will have to wait for now, since the battle is not over yet.
Spinning around, Toshiro's eyes widened as he saw ice and snow gather violently around Esdeath, before a massive tower was formed out of ice and snow, which towered over even the largest of buildings in Soul Society, before the tower itself formed what looked like a 4-pointed cross at its peak point, where enormous amounts of snow erupted from the cross, encasing Seireitei and what's even beyond it, with the clouds now starting to snow and wind violently whooshing around, screaming in the vastness of Soul Society.
All in less than a second.
The Shinigamis that were alive and not even flash frozen or buried underneath the storm had their eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
Even Yamamoto himself was visibly shaking from both the cold and the fear that the invincibility aura around Esdeath, which gave them absolutely no opening, gave away to them, making him hold the feeling of despair and losing hope.
Toshiro himself was visibly shocked that he didn't notice the last of his ice petals melting away. He just started to think.
Why do innocent lives have to suffer like this?
Why do people kill each other?
Why do they even exist?
To be killed?
To be slaughtered?
To be preyed upon?
...
...
...
"...No."
He whispered his answer of his own questions.
No 1 ever in this existence deserves to be judged this way, let alone being humiliated and killed.
Suddenly, snow and ice started to swirl around Toshiro, to which Esdeath noticed. She then noticed the blizzard around vanish after a few seconds, revealing Toshiro himself, but he was taller, more lanky, and ice covered his forearms, hind legs, and shoulders, with Hyorinmaru being in his right hand, with the Shinigami glaring at Esdeath with the intent to kill, to which Esdeath understood from only looking at it, which made her twisted smile widen even more.
(Nightcore - Remember The Name)
"Oho? So this is your full power? Interesting. In that case..."
She said those words, before pointing her own rapier on Toshiro, who took his swordsman stance in front of her.
"...I will also go all out"
The real battle is beginning now...
...And only 1 is getting out of this alive...
...While the other will be buried underneath the snow...
Final Round: Final 0 Drop[]
Don't Blink! The Final Round Is About To Be Unfold!
Both were walking slowly towards each other, and then in an instant, both of them disappeared in consecutive bursts of speed, before a shock wave erupted from the clash of their swords.
And another...
And another...
And another...
They then stopped swinging their swords, before Esdeath snapped her fingers, causing millions of millions of icicles to instantly appear before said projectiles flew towards Toshiro, who simply pointed his sword at Esdeath, before the same amount of icicles appeared instantly behind him before flying towards Esdeath's icicles, causing both barrages of projectiles to cancel out each other as the sounds of ice shattering against each other echoed throughout Soul Society. Esdeath and Toshiro then charged at each other, before both swung their swords at massive speeds such that their swings appeared to be blurs, with sonic booms echoing out with each time their swords clash.
"This is so fun! So thrilling!" Esdeath exclaimed with a smile on her face and a blush, where said respond caused Toshiro's blood to boil inside of him.
"Fun?! This is fun to you?! The people you slaughtered are innocent ones! You were supposed to be even thrown in hell!" He yelled before pushing her away, before a massive, building-sized icicle appeared above his head in the air, heading towards Esdeath, who responded by simply ramming herself into it, wildly slashing at it, chipping it to pieces gradually, before swinging her sword 1 last time, causing a shock wave to erupt from the sword swing she executed, before the shards of Toshiro's large icicle was scattered towards him, causing the Shinigami to shield himself with his free arm. He then removed his arm away from his eyes, only to gasp upon seeing a massive ice wall surrounding them in a circular shape, before hearing the snap of fingers, followed by witnessing a rain of millions of icicles raining down on both him and Esdeath. This caused Toshiro to click his tongue, before opening up his palm, before the icicles stopped, courtesy of a massive circular sheet of ice appeared above the ice wall that Esdeath created, which managed to block the icicles at time.
"This is rather impressive! But let's see if you can handle this!" Esdeath exclaimed before snapping her fingers, before a massive shadow loomed over Toshiro, causing him to look up, only to gasp in shock.
A massive ice meteor was literally heading towards him.
No.
It was heading towards Soul Society itself!
Gritting his teeth, Toshiro flew upwards as fast as he can, and Esdeath wrapped her limbs with ice part, before flying upwards as well, but their own destinations were different, with Toshiro heading towards the ice meteor, and Esdeath heading above it, but Toshiro was faster, and he slammed his sword into the ice meteor, causing it to show cracks, and he was so busy on stopping it that he didn't see Esdeath flying on top of the ice meteor.
Toshiro roared out, before applying pressure to the meteor with his sword, causing the cracks in the meteor to increase, before sooner, the meteor shattered apart, causing massive ice shards and pieces to fly and scatter away. This distracted Toshiro enough for Esdeath to fly downwards with a twisted smirk on her face, before swinging her sword at Toshiro, who blocked it in the nick of time, but the sheer force behind Esdeath's swing was so powerful that it sent Toshiro flying downwards with a sonic boom, with Esdeath following shortly after. Toshiro managed to maintain his balance, and land safely on his feet, where his opponent was on the wait. He just stood still in his breath, took a deep breath, and after exactly 4 seconds...
"Shikai Hyoketsu..."
Right before Esdeath's sword could touch him, Toshiro's body released a powerful aura of hail, instantly freezing Esdeath in mid air.
The Shinigami let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He was sure to be a goner by now.
Suddenly, he gasped upon hearing cracks. He then turned towards the source, only to see that it was Esdeath's suspended frozen form. Gritting his teeth, Toshiro swung his Zanpakuto at her still frozen form, hoping to finish her off before she can break free from the ice, only for him to be a little too late, as Esdeath broke free, and caught Hyorinmaru with her bare hand, flashing a manic grin at Toshiro, before punching him in the face, followed by implanting her heel into his stomach, causing the Shinigami to spit out blood from his mouth, before being sent several feet away.
Toshiro gasped, his body visibly shook. He has already used lots of energy, and his female opponent wasn't even tired in the slightest.
He saw standing up with that calm icy smile on her face, with her rapier in her hands, waiting for him to come at her.
God...She was indeed taking her time to toy with him...
No.
He still had a mission to do.
And it's to save Soul Society from this mad woman.
Willing himself up to his feet, Toshiro rose his sword to the skies, causing billions of billions of icicles to instantly appear around them, with the ice wall that Esdeath created around them suddenly vanishing away , before forming into a massive tower-sized sword of ice that was sent flying downwards, with its target being Esdeath herself.
Toshiro then gave the mental command for the icicles to rain down at his opponents, before he himself charged towards Esdeath, who simply stood in her place. Her icy smile never wavering in the slightest. A ball of light blue light manifested itself around the black triple-pronged cross mark located on the top of her chest, with Esdeath's eyes being shadowed by her cap. Toshiro, sensing this, increased his speed, and pointed his sword in front of him, with the intent of stabbing her and finishing this fight, and just as he was about to touch her with his sword...
"Mahapadma!"
(Music Ends)
Esdeath's voice echoed throughout Soul Society, before the ball of light enlarged to cover up everything around her, causing everything to halt in its movements. The snow, the blizzard storm, the icicles that were a mere meter from pelting her, the massive ice sword that was mere meters away from crushing her to a pulp. Even Toshiro, whose sword was mere inches from stabbing her heart, was frozen in his place. Esdeath then brandished her own rapier, before pointing it towards Toshiro's face. She flashed a small smile at his frozen-in-time form.
"You and the other ice users were extremely powerful...But this is checkmate...Farewell"
Once she whispered this, ice thorns erupted from the ground, piercing through Toshiro's frozen form and becoming tainted with his blood, where Toshiro's frozen face showed absolutely no reaction, before Esdeath followed by raising her sword above her head.
She swung it to the sides. 2 deep cuts appeared on Toshiro's arms.
She then swung it downwards. 2 deep cuts appeared on Toshiro's legs.
She then followed by slashing horizontally. A deep cut appeared on Toshiro's neck.
Finishing it off, Esdeath stabbed her sword in Toshiro's chest, particularly where his heart was.
"Thank you..."
After whispering this, the light blue color that tainted the background started to fade gradually...
"...Ughak?!"
...And torrents of blood escaped from Toshiro's limbs and neck.
The Shinigami mustered what remained of his strength to look down, only to see Esdeath's sword piercing through his heart, and he felt the life being taken away from him, which made his mind travel to his childhood friend, with her pure smile plastered as ever on her face.
"Momo..."
Esdeath then grabbed Toshiro by the face, and the moment she did so, Toshiro was instantly encased in solid ice, effectively turning him into an ice sculpture. She then took out her sword, before the ice sculpture was shattered in millions of ice shards and glitter dust that scattered throughout the raging ice storm, taking the Shinigami that was known as Toshiro Hitsugaya with it.
All that was left was Hyorinmaru, which fell on the ground with a clang sound. Esdeath stared at the Zanpakuto for a few seconds, before grabbing it, and stabbing it into the ground, making it serve as a memento for its dead master.
Esdeath then looked around her. All the Shinigami, including Yamamoto himself, was buried underneath the ice storm she created. Nothing was spared at all.
This made her...Smile.
She rose her head up into the sky, staring at the dark clouds that had the never ending hailstorm falling from it, with her icy cold, yet calm smile plastered as ever on her face.
It's for these moments...It's for the thrill of the battle and war...
...Where she feels herself at her peak...
Where she feels...so alive...
Verdict[]
(Dies Irae (OP) Yui Sakakibara - Kadenz)
Judge: Hah...The chills...
Justice: You mean from this fight?
Judge: Nah...But from-
Marie: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! SHIRO-CHAN! WHY?!
Judge:...This.
Morning Star: Shoot for shoot, ice for ice, each and every single 1 of those combatants proved to be the strongest of the strongest, and their skills were impressive, but ultimately, Esdeath takes the cup...And rather easily.
Judge: To begin with the analysis, let's start from the weakest to the strongest as usual. It's no doubt about it, but Haku is the weakest out of them. Him fighting Sasuke does not even warrant anything in front of even Weiss, who can literally fight a Nevermore that can blow away an entire mountain, and her Aura would allow her to tank attacks this powerful as well. Not to mention that his speed was nothing, as even the RWBY characters are around 10 times faster than that of the likes of Haku, and while his Ice Mirrors would be the only thing to make Haku keep up with his enemies, it should be noted that the more he uses them, the more Chakra he burns, and the less time he can maintain them, which will eventually result in his inevitable loss.
Justice: Moving on, Weiss was the 2nd weakest 1 in the bunch. While it's true that she can stomp Haku, even the likes of Yoshino would be an absolute overkill, since Yoshino herself is actually the fastest, not to mention that she was also stronger, since she was the 1 to win through the battle royale made by Kurumi in Volume 20 to determine who can confess her feelings to Shido at that time, where she fought Mukuro Hoshimiya, the same Spirit that was able to go toe to toe with Inverse Tohka, who can exert a massive force worth of 394 Gigatons of TNT, so there is no way that the Huntress would have made a dent in anyone other than Haku.
Marie: *Sniff*...What...? You want me to talk...?
Judge: Just grow a pair already!
Marie: I'm a girl, you idiot! Say these words to Morning!
Morning Star: I will take it from here! Anyways, the 3rd weakest 1 is Gray. Yes, we are talking about the Ice Make mage. While he is indeed stronger and superior to both Haku and Weiss by a high bargain, he has never shown a feat that is equal to what Yoshino has done, as we have already stated above that she won the tournament against all Spirits sans Tohka, who was with Shido at that time, where said tournament included Mukuro, who can evenly fight against Inverse Tohka, who generated a massive power to not only destroy a mountain, but also cleave Tenguu city in half which resulted in the 394 Gigatons of TNT power potency, while Gray scales to being superior to Ikusa-Tsunagai, who unleashed a powerful slash that yielded 2.02 Gigatons of TNT, meaning that Yoshino, at her full power, would be stronger than Gray with around 195 times! It also didn't help that Yoshino was the fastest in this battle, since she is superior to Mukuro, who without Shifuru, had a speed value worth of 138, and she was able to move at 6 times faster than light, where Yoshino has a speed value worth of 212, which makes Yoshino's top speed around 9.22 times faster than the speed of light! And that's without Siryon Armor Mode. And as for Gray, he scales to Natsu, who dodged Laxus' lightning at Mach 1381, and no. He does not scale to Erza's speed when she destroyed Deus Sema that was fired by her mother, which yielded a speed value worth of 10.67% the speed of light, since this was only a 1 time attack by Erza, and thus, should not even scale, as she was the powers of emotions at that time, hence this should not scale to anyone, and even if it did, it would be nowhere near Yoshino's speed value.
Justice: Sadly, though, this is where Yoshino emerges as the 4th weakest combatant. While she has indeed displayed superior speed and strength that made her prevail through 4 of the fighters. It should be noted that she does not stand a chance against either of Esdeath or Toshiro, as while her speed would make her prolong the fight, it should be noted that speed is not everything in this fight. Even if 1 holds the superior speed, if the other factors are lower with them, then it's their loss, as what Yoshino has showed us right now. While she is indeed the fastest in this battle, she has never shown the superior strength of both Esdeath and Toshiro, where the latter has grown stronger to the extent that he scaled to Grimmjow in the Thousand Year Blood War Arc, where Grimmjow was stated to have gained the power to produce Reiatsu equivalent to 8 Gran Rey Cero with his Desgarron attack. Knowing this, The Gran Rey Cero was stated to have the potential to destroy Las Nochas. With this in mind, we take the measurements of Las Nochas into account, then apply the on-ground explosion formula to get the results, which is a destructive capacity worth of 120.98 Gigatons of TNT. Then we take into account about the fact that Grimmjow can create a Desgarron that is equal to 8 Gran Rey Cero, so that means that we multiply the value from above by 8, which would give us a power value worth of 967.424 Gigatons of TNT! Which is stronger than even Inverse Tohka's Paverschlev by around more than 2 times.
Judge: And as for Esdeath, her feats in her verse were extremely casual. I mean, we're talking about a mad woman who just went against a million soldiers, 10 Teigu users and Akame herself, and was simply standing her ground like it was nothing. But that's only the icing on the cake, as in the war in the Empire, The Emperor, who was piloting Purge Mode Shikoutazer at that time, saw Tatsumi as a threat to the extent that he called for Esdeath's help, and Tatsumi himself admitted that he cannot take on Esdeath, where Honest himself also stated that Esdeath was his strongest assist after Purge Mode Shikoutazer, which in turn makes Esdeath superior to said Teigu, where the Teigu created an explosion that vaporized a massive freaking hole in the ground.
Morning Star: Judging by the steam that was emitted from the crater, this is clearly vaporization. Knowing this, and scaling the size of the crater to the mushroom cloud that generated from the singularity bomb that created that crater on the ground, then applying the values of vaporization, we would find out that Purge Mode Shikoutazer must have released a power output worth of 405 Teratons of TNT! So even without being at full power, Esdeath is considered the strongest, despite being 1 of the lowest combatants in terms of speed.
Justice: This would leave us with Esdeath and Toshiro...Need i say more?
Marie: NO! DON'T!
Judge: Marie. Calm down. This is a fictional battle. It won't harm anyone.
Marie: IT HARMS ME, MR. LAME THEORIST!
Judge: It's me now who wants to die...
Morning Star: Ahem...Yeah, well, back to work. Justice is right. When it comes to speed, Toshiro outclasses Esdeath, as he is able to keep up Sterrnitter members, who scales to Liltotto, who can dodge Yhwach's Auswahlen at 48% the speed of light, but as we said from above, speed is not everything, as Esdeath still holds every single other category for herself, especially strength. Comparing her superiority on Purge Mode Shikoutazer to Toshiro's superiority to Shikai Kenpachi, we would find out that Esdeath is stronger than even Matured Bankai Toshiro with around more than 38 times! So there is no way that he would be able to make a scratch on Esdeath. Not to mention that while everyone in this battle, sans Haku, can control and survive absolute zero temperatures, Esdeath can even survive even lower temperatures, as when she had unleashed her strongest Trump Card, The Ice Storm Commander-In-Chief, she stated that she has encased the country, if not the continent with Russian Winter, where the temperature of Russian Winter is around -71.2 C.
Justice: And that storm yielded a massive value worth of 12.73 Petatons of TNT, which is more than 3 times higher than the destructive required to wipe all the continents on Earth. Note that this is not an outlier, considering the fact that after releasing this storm, she was stated to be capable of attack the very world and its lands.
Judge: Please note that while she used the power of her Ice Calvary, which was around 2 to 3 days worth of power, to execute The Ice Storm Commander-In-Chief, The Ice Cavalry was considered a standard part of her arsenal, so she can most likely access them in most fights without it being considered preparation, meaning that she can use the Ice Storm Commander-In-Chief without preparation time, and if that doesn't convince you, then the claims from above does, as she was stated to outright being capable of attacking the world itself and its lands with her ice powers. Also, she has demonstrated the ability to create ice creations that are alive instantly, like a horse made out of ice, and a full body ice armor that can move by itself while concealing her from any outside interference.
Justice: Ultimately, all of those combatants were incredible and powerful on their own right, but in the end, only 1 had the necessary to take all the other 5 down.
Judge: Haku, Gray, Yoshino, Weiss and Toshiro were all Mahapa-Damned
Morning Star: The Winner Is Esdeath.
