Equestria Girls: Friendship Souls being a FusionFic of Bleach and My Little Pony: Equestria Girls this happens a lot.
- Sunset is one of Ichigo, complete with two Zanpakuto spirits representing different parts of her nature.
- Human Twilight also shares several traits with Ichigo, if he embraced his Quincy heritage, particularly with how Midnight Sparkle has become her equivalent of True Zangetsu (Ichigo's Inner Hollow), and later still the reveal she's a Merger of Souls.
- Clover is one of Rukia Kuchiki, though unlike her she's the 12th division lieutenant instead of the 13th.
- Starswirl is one of Mayuri, though aside from an obsession with research he has very little in common with him.
- Discord is one of Kisuke Urahara, albeit far more willing to cut the bullshit and be honest with Sunset and company than Urahara is with Ichigo.
- Ditzy Doo is one of Yoruichi Shihoin.
- Adagio seems like one of Kon, but she isn't. Later, after becoming a Vasto Lorde and Arrancar, she's one to Shiba Kaien and Tia Harribel, as she possesses a similar weapon and powers of the former's Zanpakuto, Nejibana, and has the general powers and affableness of the latter.
- Screwloose and Screwball are ones for Jinta and Ururu, respectively.
- Grogar is one of Szayelaporro Granz, straight down to his Espada number.
- Tirek is one to Baraggan Louisenbairn, though unlike Baraggan he is Espada Number 1 and presumably not under Starlight Glimmer's watch. As it turns out, he isn't. Chrysalis, on the other hand...
- The Smooze is one of Aaroniero Arruruerie, even wearing a similar mask. It turns out that like him he is also an aberration of an Arrancar, and has a Kaiju Eldritch Abomination form as his Resurreccion.
- Torch is one of Yammy Llargo, being the massive brute of the Espada. His Hollow Hole is even in the same spot and he can transform into a Kaiju. He also bears traits of Nnoitra, having the same rank, the strongest Hierro of the Espada, and his zanpakuto being the closest in semblance.
- The Lament are ones of Coyote Starrk. Unlike the rest of these examples, he looks almost exactly like his Bleach counterparts. He also draws several points from Ulquiorra, such as his Espada number, his green reiatsu, and his "alienness" compared to the other Espada.
- Sombra is one of Yhwach, though when you only have one king in My Little Pony, you can't expect much else.
- Sunset's demon form is a much nastier version of Zangetsu or rather Ichigo's Quincy powers pretending to be Zangetsu. If anything, Sunset's demon form is a friendlier version of the true Zangetsu (Ichigo's Inner Hollow). Sunset's Daydream Shimmer form, on the other hand, is more or less a less mysterious version of Old Man Zangetsu (Ichigo's Quincy powers) in personality.
- Pinkamena is basically the Pinkie from Cupcakes (Sergeant Sprinkles) with a functional moral compass (in that she goes after the bad guys rather than just anyone), though instead of cutting ponies up and eating them, she just eats them.
- Hurricane is one of Kenpachi Zaraki, and it shows.
- Sweet Cider is Toshiro Hitsugaya, but fighting-wise she's one of Kenpachi.
- Starlight Glimmer is essentially the fusion of Sosuke Aizen and Kugo Ginjo due to her past relationship with Soul Society, her goals involving the Hogyoku, and her being the first Substitute Soul Reaper.
- Starlight being the Hero's Evil Predecessor mixed with her having all of Sunset's skills but better and more experienced, her chessmaster skills, and leading a small Badass Crew of eclectic individuals makes her seem more like Shinobu Sensui from YuYu Hakusho.
- Platinum is one to Byakuya Kuchiki, and it shows. Like Byakuya, she too had to choose To Be Lawful or Good when it came to the life of a loved one...but unlike him, she chose "Good" and betrayed Soul Society for it.
- Poesy's Shikai is one of Kenpachi's Bankai. One has to wonder what that means her Bankai is like.
- Pipsqueak is essentially a powerless version of Jushiro Ukitake. He's even given a lease on life by becoming a Vizard similar to how Ukitake only lived thanks to his union with the Mimihagi.
- Medley's Zanpakutou power clearly has some similarities to Tsukishima's Fullbring, though more powerful and expansive.
- Human Cozy Glow is one to Kokutō, being a resident of Hell who uses their chains in combat and has heavy facial scarring.
