The fully matured captain arrives

Jump Force still has some life left in it with more DLC characters coming through at least the end of the year including some fan-favorites from the Bleach anime / manga series.

Bandai Namco has now released the first screenshots of one of those upcoming new fighters in the 10th captain of the Soul Society, the ice-cold Toshiro Hitsugaya.

Hitsugaya's appearance in Jump Force looks to be taken from the final arc of the manga for his true power will be unleashed once the captain's bankai reaches its limit.

On top of his regular shikai and bankai powers, Hitsugaya even has his matured state bankai from the overpowered Quincy arc of Bleach beefing up both his appearance and damage.

As for his gameplay, the young captain has what you'd expect with the ability to freeze opponents in giant pillars of ice and shoot out frozen projectiles as he flies around with his frozen dragon wings.

No firm release date has been set for Hitsugaya in Jump Force, but he's supposed to land in the season pass before the end of 2019 where he'll likely be joined by another Bleach favorite in Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez.
