Probably.
Blue whales are big and powerful animals. A hit with the fluke - tail fin - could probably do some serious damage even to an orca.
The orca or killer whale is a toothed whales belonging to the oceanic dolphin family Delphinidae. They need their teeth as they are apex predators who have even been seen trying to kill blue whales!
no it can not kill a orca killer whale
A Killer Whale or Orcanus Orca.
A blue whale.
Blue whales can live for 80 to 90 years. No blue whales are being killed now. Hunting of the blue whale stopped in 1977. Now, the blue whale's only predator is the orca, or killer whale (actually a type of dolphin). Almost a quarter of blue whales have scars from orca attacks, but the blue whale's size (up to 120 tonnes and 60 metres [200 ft] long, bigger than any of the dinosaurs) suggests they are difficult to kill. There is no information on how many are killed by orcas.

No. Adult blue whales have no natural predators. They are too big and too strong to be attacked and killed by any animal. However, Orca's (Killer Whales) are known to attack and kill youngsters. A group of Orca's can easily hunt a baby blue whale if its mother is not around. Otherwise, they have no natural predators

One on one, a big 80 feet long blue whale would defeat a 30 feet long killer whale. However, when a pack (pod) of killer whales team up, they can kill an adult blue whale, although they usually prefer to attack a calf, or a pregnant female, which are weaker than a adult male blue whale.
They don't get killed any more. Hunting of the blue whale stopped in 1977. Now, the blue whale's only predator is the orca, or killer whale (actually a type of dolphin).
