Top 10 greatest anime ice users, ranked

I've made quite a few posts related to this, like; best fire users, best string users best electricity users, and so on. But let's leave that aside for now and go into anime ice users.
     Unlike string and electricity, there are quite some ice users in anime. Therefore I decided to rank them and give detailed information and an explanation of their powers/abilities.
    First, let me say that ice carries a lot of potentials depending on how it is used. It can be used for both attacks and defense. And its attacks range from direct to indirect. It can also be used to a monstrous level. It is indeed a great element.
Let's move to our rankings
TOP 10 STRONGEST ICE USERS IN ANIME; 

      1. Aokiji
Aokiji is an admiral in the one piece world, just that title "admiral" already tells of how powerful he is. He uses the hie hie no mi, a devil fruit ability that lets him control ice.
   Devil fruit users have a great disadvantage, and that is the inability to swim in Sea water but aokiji has overcome that great disadvantage, he can freeze and walk on water thereby turning it into ice.
      Aokiji is a logia-type devil fruit user. This means he can control the ice and also become ice. Therefore hitting him would be impossible.
    Aokiji is so strong that when he fought against akainu the whole island became half-frozen half-molten. That is to say, his ice abilities have an incredibly great range and he can freeze almost anything and anyone instantly. The only disadvantage to his ability is due to natural phenomena. For example, fire melts ice and molten lava does that much faster.


      2. Esdeath
Esdeath is a character from akame ga kill.
She is a general in the imperial army. She derives joy from making people suffer in the belief of her father's saying "only the strong survive". 
   Since she took her father's words to heart she became cold-hearted and does not care for the well-being of others. Until she met Tatsumi, who she fell in love with.
   Esdeath has an ice ability that can make her form and mold ice at will, she can create ice from nothing and use it to utmost perfection. Her greatest move/ability allows her to freeze time giving her a huge advantage over most opponents.

      3. Toshiro Hitsugaya 
This is the most popular character in bleach.
   Toshiro is the captain of the 10th squad in the gotei 13. He has a relatively small stature, and due to this, he has been mocked which made him cold-hearted. 
   During the zampakuto arc in bleach, when Toshiro's zampakuto saw him, it confirmed that someone that small cannot wield such power but it is in fact his power.
   He has the strongest ice zampakuto in the soul society and a great amount of sword skill.
  His Shikai (sword release form) can bring out ice slash and cut all enemies with precision. In his Bankai, he is stronger and faster and his ice ability is on another level. He was able to defeat Espada no. 3.

     4. Todoroki shoto
Anime; my hero academia/Boku no hero academia.
  Todoroki shoto is a student of the U.A academy for hero aspirants and the son of the number 1 hero (formerly the number 2 hero), endeavor.
  When endeavor was still the no. 2 hero all he wanted was to beat all might, the no. 1 hero. He ended up treating his son badly in other to fulfill his desires. As such todoroki grew up hating his father. His quirk is called half-cold half-hot, it allows him to control ice on one side and fire on the other side. 
  Originally he hated his father's side; that is, his fireside. But then after confronting midoriya his perspective changed.
   Todoroki is one of the strongest students in class 1A, he also has one of the best quirks in the entire series. His range in freezing is very huge, such that he was able to use ice to defend against the shock midoriya's shock wave attacks. He can also use his fire side to counteract the effect of freezing himself when using ice.


      5. Gray fullbuster
Gray is an ice user from the anime series fairy tail. Gray is a member of the fairy tale guild.
    He learned ice magic with Lyon under his teacher, ur. Because gray father was killed by a dragon and his teacher sacrificed her life to seal the dragon, he hated it with all his might.
   Gray became a demon-slaying ice mage after defeating the dragon which took the form of his father, including keeping all memories.
  Gray then became an ice demon to defeat E.N.D, the person thought to bring about the end of the world.


     6. Rukia kutchki
Rukia is a character from the anime series bleach. She is the captain of the 13th squad in the gotei 13 and the former lieutenant of this same squad. 
  She is a shinigami who made an encounter with Ichigo in the human world. She possesses a Shiki called sode no shirayuki, this Shiki is a different form that she labeled with dance and it involves freezing an opponent or bringing out a huge wall of ice.
    In her Bankai(hakka no togame); she freezes whatever she touches because her temperature is so cold, it's almost at absolute zero.
    Rukia is a master in kido, she can use high-level chants simultaneously.

       7. Judar
Here's another dangerous ice user and he's from magi; the labyrinth of magic.
   Though he can use another element apart from ice, he specializes mainly in ice.
    He can conjure up ice in the air continuously without tiring or weakening, he can also launch a stream of ice daggers at his opponent. Since he is a magi he has an infinite supply of magicules that surrounds us. He was able to defeat Aladdin and cause damage to his djin.

      8. Ur
Ur is also from the anime series fairy tail.
  She was a mentor and a master to gray, since she didn't have kids she was more ked but she endured that easily. She has the same fighting style as gray; she can conjure up ice to make anything using the ice-make spell. She can make ice daggers and Spears and use them to attack opponents.
     One of the training she gives gray was to be able to withstand cold temperatures.
  She died using her life to seal a dragon that brought chaos everywhere.

      9. November 11
Anime; darker than black.
 This is a character not as popular as the ones listed before it but the abilities are no less.
  November 11 is a contractor with liquid-induced cytokinesis. He can freeze liquid without coming in contact with it, he can even freeze human blood, he is also a strategist and a cool-headed person.

      10. Sui
Anime; Darwin's game
Sui is a character shown during the survival game; she shares a body with her dead brother and the two can switch anytime. While her brother controls water she controls ice she can freeze water instantly and use it as a defense or attack mechanism.
  The only problem here is that she is not the violent type, she doesn't even have the guts to kill someone even when she's in danger, she just relies on her brother to get out of difficult situations. She joins the sunset Ravens in other to end the game they are playing by killing its producer.

Deku's new look; a new turning point in my hero academia

Well...the manga's of my hero academia has shown us a new look at Deku. This new look has a mixture of the looks of grand Torino, stain, and obviously his dressing.  The truth is that we know that when Deku fights to protect something, he always does even at the cost of destroying his own body. As we've seen in virtually all his battles were he fights a villain and pushes his ideals non-stop.  But that has come to an end as deku fails to protect his classmates against all for one. This left him broken and torn, because he was thinking that it was his fault his classmates got severely injured but he has forgotten the fact that his classmates are also heroes and they are ready to to put their lives on the line to protect others. Anyways.....deku then, feeling a sense of defeat decided to leave U.A academy in other not to exposed others to danger.  He then becomes rogue and is now searching for all for one.

What is the strongest anime ability

there are a lot of anime characters with different kinds of abilities and there's one thing we know, and that is; these abilities can be overpowered to a great extent.  in your opinion what do you think is the greatest anime ability, super strength? super speed? time travel? Or maybe pure muscle power from gruesome workout ?  no. in my opinion the fact that an ability can be quantified with an English word means that it is not the strongest.  ok... some of you might not agree with that but hear me out. Remember stars and stripes from the anime my hero academia . she is the number one hero in the united states. but if you look at her ability, I don't think that a specific word can suit her ability. her ability is called New order and it is an ability that allowed her to set a rule onto her surroundings, allowing her to manipulate and bestow new properties onto herself and the world around her. To activate her Quirk, she had to first make physical contact with the target and sp

MOMONOSUKE’S FULL POTENTIAL

The strength rating of one piece characters can vary exponentially, there are characters who appear to be extremely weak but yet turn out to be strong like chopper, Robin, name although she uses weapons. There are also characters that were weak at first but later became strong after all luffy wasn’t exactly strong when he met Ace and Sabo, and I believe Momonosuke will spout in strength. He will be worthy of the Kozuki name and will be able to live in the path and honor in which his father has set for him.  Since Momonosuke’s transformation into his adult form the series has focused him on overcoming his fears. When Momonosuke bit Kaido, luffy told Momonosuke that now that he has bitten the king of beast what else can he be afraid of. Momonosuke will not only be strong but also brave he might even be stronger than his father in the future. Because what drove oden to become strong was curiosity but in Momonosuke’s case it will be his loyalty and sense of duty to both the land of wano an

why blue lock is the best anime of 2022

why is blue lock the best anime of 2022, I have one answer to that... tournament.  yes, tournament. blue lock has brought out a highly competitive environment for soccer.  it features a game where there will not only be competitions between each team but also between team members.  Every major character has their strength and the main character is not given some kind of godly ability that is overpowered. if you look at it, it has the same vibe as the basketball anime Kuroko no basketball and that's why people still refer to it as the best sports anime.  an anime should have a way to engage its audiences; at times it's through comedy, fan service, or even through the story but in blue lock's case it's through a godly tournament-like action. one other thing blue lock has that's better than most anime currently is its panels. I can body say that blue lock has better panels than every anime of 2022. the panels not only reassure you of its tournament-like prowess but inc

Lookism chapter 423; the arrival

Ok, lookism has always been a masterpiece but today's chapter has once again proven it's superiority. For quite some time we haven't been seeing the members of the supposed group of friends and frienemies. But today we've finally gotten a whiff of action.  It's time to see the result of their training,  They all came back in one way or another different from their previous selves. Vasco came back with far more "hardware" than he previously possessed ,he's grown beards but one thing we don't know is how far he has progressed in his martial art. Zack on the other hand looks more of a pretty boy than he ever was but he isn't to be undermined because with just sight alone his foe was able to see the shocking superiority to his former self.  But the most awaited, Daniel Park. Although he wasn't any different from his previous self physically but one could tell just from the entrance that he was definitely different and he meant business 

Baki vs Mikey; a laughable comparison 🤣

It really ridiculous that people actually believe Mikey from Tokyo revenge can compare against Baki....mikey is just some kid who barely know how to hold his own. there is absolutely nothing that mikey could do that would damage Baki. if I'm not exaggerating....i would say no person in Tokyo revenge can beat baki even when going all against one.   Baki is on a whole different level from most anime characters and he is far above the league of Mikey, in speed, strength and brutality.    you can't compare a guy who can contend against the strongest being on earth with the head of a small gang. it would be a complete massacre.

One piece; Robin's devil form- another haki user emerges

The recent chapter of one piece has not ceased to amaze. And the most intriguing thing in the chapter is that we get to see one of the straw hats unlock a new ability. One might expect luffy, or Zoro, or any one of the major fighters in the crew but Oda just proved to us that each member of the crew is as fitting to be a member of the crew of the pirate king.    We see in the fight of Robin against Maria when the tides of the battle changes turn in favor of Maria; Robin had just brought out a huge version of herself, much like how she springs out body parts. Maria stated out that the version of herself that she sprung out makes out for a better punching bag, she saw that the physical damages to the parts that Robin sprung up also affected her. She then stated that she has fighting experience as she rushed in with lots of blows on Robin.    Robin took so much damage that she had to retract her abilities, thereby making Maria think she was about to run away.     Maria lashed out at Robin

Boruto; Naruto next generation-naruto's baryon mode explained

In the recent boruto manga, we've seen Naruto's new transformation, the bayron mode.      Today I'm going to be explaining the baryon mode. According to the manga the baryon mode is likened to nuclear fusion. This is brought by the fusion of kuruma's chakra and Naruto's, this fusion require Naruto's chakra as a base.     The new baryon mode greatly increases the speed and strength of Naruto to the extent that he began to beat the pull out of ishiki, but great powers comes at a cost. It decreases Naruto's life. That means that after Naruto uses this mode he is guaranteed to die.      As kuruma explained; the baryon mode reduces the life span of ishiki each time he takes a hit from naruto but at the same time also reduces Naruto's life span. It was a gamble due to the fact that ishiki body could not handle the energy he carries and he needed to find a new host.
