Top Anime Ice Users
Ice is present in the world, but only in conditions where the 0 degrees Celsius is possible. The cold and ice go hand-in-hand for they complement one another; ice cannot occur without having cold temperatures.
People might not think that ice is a force of nature but glaciers play a major part in the polar ice caps and the tundra habitat. Wielders of ice in Anime are seen as tough fighters and can be difficult to deal with in battle.
Tōshirō Hitsugaya is a 10th division captain in the Gotei 13 throughout Bleach. Hyōrinmaru is Tōshirō's Zanpakutō (a spiritual blade for a Shinigami in the series) which is the strongest of all ice-element Zanpakutō in Soul Society. The sword's two power levels are Shikai and Bankai where the power increases from ice dragon projectiles in Shikai to a dragon's features displayed as ice reinforced battle armor in Bankai which is the most powerful form.
Gelato is the Vongola Snow Guardian and is the villain of Katekyō Hitman Reborn! DS Fate of Heat III. He makes objects made from snow and water through the techniques of Diamond Dust, Cage of Snow, or etc. Probably, a well-known attack from him is Snow Reindeer, where a reindeer rushes towards enemies, which is Gelaro's Box Weapon while his most surprising move is Zero Point Breakthrough: First Edition (a move that seals weak Dying Will Flames and is immune to all attacks except by strong Dying Will Flames).
Esdeath was a high ranking official in the Empire and became the Jaegers' leader under the Prime Minister in Akame Ga Kill! She has a hidden ability to her ice powers where an Elemental-type Teigu, The Demon's Extract, is absorbed through the user's blood and tied to their life for living. Ice powers from the Demon's Extract gives Esdeath abilities over freezing time and space, creating an army of centaur soldiers, and a large scale Russian winter over an entire area.
Mizore Shirayuki takes the position on the Newspaper Club at Yōkai Academy and her status of Yōkai is a Yuki-Onna. In Japanese, Yuki-Onna translates to Snow-Woman and Mizore's control over Cryokinesis or ice manipulation is very immense. She can freeze any body of water and shape it as blast attacks, projectiles, or claw hardened hands throughout Rosario + Vampire.
Tōran is a part of the Panther Divas who seek revenge against the Dog Demon clan in InuYasha. Winter Storm is Tōran in English and as the name applies ice is first and cold wind second. She fights fiercely and uses a staff to continue firing ice blasts and freezing her opponents.
During the Ice Age, ice used to be a dominant force of nature. The Ice Age was a period in which half of North America was covered by sheets of glaciers. These glaciers carved out the land underneath it to the point of deep erosion across the ground. Similarly, in Anime, if an ice user stumbles upon an earth user, then ice could influence the earth and create a permafrost like ground. Permafrost could hinder an opponent's control over the ground. Ice then being present, would allow both or either of the users to manipulate the frozen ground.
