Power And Abilities
Master Swordsmanship
Halibel possesses tremendous skill in swordsmanship, fighting on even grounds with Tōshirō Hitsugaya, a captain-level Shinigami and a famous swordsmanship prodigy.Halibel is ambidextrous, and can switch her sword from her right hand to her left. She can defend herself from a Shinigami captain and two lieutenant-level Visored simultaneously.
Immense Spiritual Power
Even before becoming an Arrancar, Halibel possessed tremendous Reiryoku. As an Arrancar and one of the top four members of the Espada, Halibel is forbidden to release her Zanpakutō while inside the dome of Las Noches, for if she were to do so, her immense Reiryoku would be enough to demolish the fortress. Her Reiatsu is golden-yellow.
Highly Perceptive Combatant
While a woman of few words, Halibel has proven to be an intuitive fighter. She can see through a person's demeanor to determine what they are thinking about. During the battle between Ichigo and Grimmjow, she noted how the two were similar, especially in terms of Reiatsu. Her keen intellect and intuition is proven in her initial fight with Hitsugaya, where she saw through his icy demeanor and identified his concern for his lieutenant. She sensed a small wavering in Hitsugaya's Reiatsu when the arrival of Momo Hinamori concerned him.
Master Tactician
Halibel held her own in a fight against Hitsugaya, who used his abilities to counter her own, by taking advantage of his attacks for her own purposes.
Hierro
As the Tres Espada, Halibel has the passive ability known as Hierro. Even after having her body completely encased in ice by Hitsugaya's Hyōten Hyakkasō, Halibel emerged without any noticeable sign of injury. She was also able to survive being cut down by Aizen.
Cero
Charging a yellow Cero along her sword, Halibel can fire it in a very wide arc, following the arc of her sword swing.
Sonido Master
Halibel has demonstrated incredible speed in battle, initially outmaneuvering Hitsugaya to the point of forcing him almost completely on the defensive.

Zanpakuto - Tiburón
In its sealed state, Halibel's Zanpakutō, while not particularly long, is unusually wide, and has the distinction of being completely hollow in the middle, essentially consisting of nothing more than the edges of what would otherwise be a normal sword. Its handle is purple, and its guard is as wide as its blade, with three small holes on either end, which Halibel uses to unsheathe it. The sword is longer than its sheath, and is worn horizontally on her upper back
Ola Azul
Pulling her sword back as it gathers yellow Reiryoku within the hollow portion of the blade, Halibel launches it towards her opponent in the form of an energy blade projectile. She can keep the energy concentrated within the hollow portion of the blade, and unleash it in the shape of a ribbon when attacking
Resurrección
”Destroy, Tiburón”
Holding her Zanpakutō in front of her with the blade pointing down, Halibel, declaring the release command, is completely enveloped by a heart-shaped surge of water which closes around her to form a cocoon-like cyclone, which Halibel cuts herself out of.
Her primary ability in this form is the creation and manipulation of water The water used for her attacks is generated by the gill markings on her blade
Trident
Halibel infuses her sword with Reiryoku, causing it to glow, and fires a high-force slash from her sword in a series of three shots. Upon contact, it can cause severe damage, cutting an opponent in half with ease.
Hirviendo
Pointing her blade out, Halibel boils any form of water which comes close to it, including ice, and deflects it around her.
La Gota
Halibel can condense large amounts of water around her blade before firing it as a blast which resembles a shark tooth. She can fire multiple blasts in rapid succession with relative ease. The blasts strike with enough force to demolish houses.
Cascada
Halibel launches a rushing surge of water at her enemy. The torrent of water is large enough to cover several town blocks.
