Bleach 290- The broken mask
The chapter begins with Ichigo and Orihime are stunted from Nnoitra’s revelation. Nnoitra then taunts them about how stupid they were to carry such a dangerous person around. Orihime looks at Nell as if wanting to ask what NNoitra said is true.
“N..no….about that…I am not an espada…” Nell replies and that makes Nnoitra to look at her and wonders if she has lost her memories. “N..no. I did not forget. I…am not an espada right?” That angers Nnoitra so he walks toward her and lifts his foot above her head, “I didn’t see you for a while..now you are being annoying on a different manner?” With that he lowers his foot aiming her head but Ichigo comes in between and uses his hand to take to an attack.
“Ichigo..believe me…Nell..didn’t lie about anything to Ichigo.” Ichigo replies without looking back at her “I believe you!” Then turns around and gives her a smile, “Don’t worry, Nell. We wil…” Before he could finish the sentence, Nnoitra’s foot hits Ichigo’s face and throws him back to ground.
“Huh, looks like you really have lost your memories. But whatever, you got smashed on the head like that; it’s not surprising that you’d lost the memories.” His words makes Ichigo asks him if he said ‘smashed on the head..?” Nnoitra admits and then picks Nell above his head and screams “I am the one who smashed her head!!” Ichigo yells out and jumps at Nnoitra but Nnoitra uses his scythe to hit Ichigo’s leg and makes him fall.
Now Ichigo gets beaten by Nnoitra but he still tries to stand up and stares at Nnoitra tells him to let Nell go. Nnoitra doesn’t listen to him so he yells again. This time Nnoitra tells him to shut up. Ichigo runs toward him but this time he lifts Nell up in front of him and that stops Ichigo. With that, Nnoitra kicks Ichigo again and throws Nell away. He takes Ichigo’s hand (the one he holds a sword) and says, “I hate those who cannot win yet just run to me like this. Let’s get it over wit, Shinigami.” Nnoitra squeezes Ichigo’s hand so hard it makes him cries out. Nell sees how much pain Ichigo is in so she screams his name. Right now, Nell is torn between rushing to help Ichigo and just stays put where she is. Even though she’s an arrancar, she’s still a kid at heart and now she’s forced to choose.
Suddenly the blow happens and it stunts Nnoitra. In front of him now there is a woman who her clothes are torned up yet still has a mask that resembles Nell.

Unconfirmed spoilers from 2ch, translated by spacecat:
Anyways since there is a pic I'll post some unconfirmed spoilers that match it from 2ch along with the pic:
The first one NOW CONFIRMED FAKE (less likely to be real, I will go find the kana, it was posted hours ago though) said roughly:
Almost instantly Nell transforms and there is a page title/opening page of her. Then it almost immediately goes into a flash back of her fighting Nnoitra infront of Aizen for the 5th seat in the Espada. Nnoitra sliced Nell and left her for dead. Then it returned to the present and she was going to fight Nnoitra, they also mentioned no Ishida and Renji this week.
Then there was this one which I think is more likely to be real but heck who knows, thanks to Danna for correcting the last line before i posted it:
イチゴがピンチになって、ネルが変貌する
Ichigo is in a bit of trouble so Nell transforms
身長も大きくなるし胸もボイン
Her height grows as does her boobs
ノイトラがネルの頭を割ったその衝撃でネルは十刃だったのをわすれてるよ
Nnoitra gave Nell the crack in the mask and it made her forget she was an Espada
俺の名を忘れんなよ
Don’t forget my name

ZoneGhost
09-05-2007, 05:15 PM
If it is real it looks like nell releases or something.. I can't quite make it out but I'd say that whatever that woman is wearing is similar to Nell's mask.
Course I am probably wrong because nell turning out to be a really hot chick is just not gonna happen :(
Gintoki
09-05-2007, 05:19 PM
Hot! Nell's Hot^^ Thanks for the pic guys.
So there will be a Nnoitra vs Nell Match.

Nell vs Noitora???

ネル、変貌!!
Nell, transfiguration!!
In the italic part, I'm not sure about the Kanji cos it's still too blurry. @w@

09-05-2007, 05:21 PM
she looks cute. Too bad we've seen this already.
Lol thanks for the pic. And oh, something so predictable, again? =)
I think everyone predicted this outcome. I sense tons of fanboys hurrying towards the Nell FC now XD

If this is real...who didn't see this coming? -_-...
Should be interesting to see how the Nell/Nnoitra fight though, if this is indeed real.

OMG! OMG! OMG!
Holy Neru-ostitutes! KT's got a lot of explaining to do-- that is, after we have Nell give Noitora & Co a major beatdown.
(Maybe this'll be what forces something other thank "Kurosaki-kun" outta Orihime's mouth??!)

Nell transforms into a hot chick? Oh, what a shock!!!
I thought that Nell having a "mature" form might be too sick and wrong for even Kubo, but Szayeloporro's release destroyed that theory and made this outcome all but certain.
Ahah remember Neo, we said it yesterday XD So no, really no surprise here.
More than half of the readers expected Nell to pull out a Yoruichi, really.
spacecat
09-05-2007, 05:31 PM
I think Kubo needs a break, using the same ideas over and over. I just find it ridiculous and come on, how is it a surprise? Ppl have been saying it since Nell showed up.

I'm so torn...half of me is going "LOL hel yeh ninja babe Nell with Matsumoto-esque proportions will own Noitora in the face!"
...On the other hand no more tiny cute Nell, adorable baby lisp, Potatosack!Arrancar and overused plot device is overuuuuuuuuuuuuused.
I...just don't know what to believe in anymore. ;_;

Looks like Nell's Tenjo Tenge homage is almost complete. Thing is, will she actually fight or be too scared to do anything other than spit on people.

If Nell doesn't turn into a hot chick that would have been a shock. To think Ichigo used to carry her around... *shudders*
NeoSapien
09-05-2007, 05:36 PM
...and it looks like Nell's clothes didn't change and are now barely covering her body, just as I hoped was afraid of. Kubo, you perv.
Is the 'Hot' look Nells release form?
And that poor shift she was wearing... I wonder if shes going to get clothes before the fight... I wonder what Ichigo will think..?
Is that a double spread ending page?
imamess
09-05-2007, 05:37 PM
Geh, I wanted her to stay the same for be some big burly guy, but I guess Kubo likes boobs just way too much.

It's another parallel?
Maybe not to Yoruichi but since Nell's obviously been crushing on Ichigo and he's been giving her tender looks (oh dear, the poor boy may have a blush spasm now) and Nell was the one who cheered Ichigo properly, then maybe her new "relationship" with Ichigo may give the lovelorn Orihime a thing or two to think about!
(yes, I'm looking at the story like a chick here... but Nell vs Noitra--that could be just as fun as Orihime having a jealous attack over Nell!:D)
About Nell's spit healing thing....
Um will that now carry over into kissing in her 'Hot' form?
Thanks for the pict!
spacecat
09-05-2007, 05:40 PM
Yeah well debbie i see the happy ichiorinell family fly out the window. He carried her around so long i swear im gonna see the word canon sooner or later. Man i hate this already >_>
BigBadBuu
09-05-2007, 05:41 PM
Haha..
This actually adds a couple new shades to all of the sexual references and cock & balls attacks directed towards Ichigo.
...was Nell coming onto him the whole time? har! har!
I personally didn't expect her to do a full Yoruichi (ie, transform into hot nekkid chick), but did expect the "revelation of power" (as most did). That being said, in light of all the silliness that that went on between Ichigo & Nell leading upto this, it's actually pretty cool imo.
edit, @Debbie: yeah, that'd be lol if/when Orihime flipped out about a possible IchiXNell.. lmao
~Buu
debbiechan
09-05-2007, 05:43 PM
Yeah well debbie i see the happy ichiorinell family fly out the window.
dude, maybe Kubo's into KINKY families! He did say that he wanted to have Matsumoto as his sister!

*blows limeade out nose* Oh, oh, oh, ohhhhhhhh Debbiechan why oh why did you have to present that image to my brain?
The scene: Hueco Mundo.
Nell: *pulls barely covering strategically placed pile of rags closer after whomping Noitora's butt for him, gathers self, pivots and lunges at Ichigo*
Ichigo: "WHAT WHAT WHOA HOLD ON YOU'RE LIKE TWO, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING, cover yourself up god here's my bankai coat omg"
Nell: "....Ichigo." *dramatic stare*
Ichigo: "...." *they stare at each other dramatically*
Orihime: "...He even said her name first too when he woke up. Maybe I should take a vacation."
Of course this will be even funnier if Ichigo doesn't notice her rack but instead takes the tactic he takes with Orihime of just being totally oblivious to her girl parts entirely.
Nell: "Ichigo!" *lunge*
Ichigo: "God Nell, you could have gotten yourself killed! Don't do that again!"
Orihime: "...Maybe Kurosaki-kun is gay."
M.Aizen
09-05-2007, 05:46 PM
Wow, didnt expect this, she looking kinda sexy too
cassoult
09-05-2007, 05:47 PM
Wow, does Nell have curves or what. Kinky families are good, hum, Daddy!Ichigo and Adult!Nell...
Here's to hoping that that isn't the last page of this weeks chapter (not another week Kubo, not another week).

09-05-2007, 05:50 PM
Predictable? Yes. Beyond awesome? Yes. I love you even more Kubo. hahahahaha. :D
*off to join the Nell FC*
TheRedPriest
09-05-2007, 05:51 PM
I have to say, saw it comming, but that doesn't make it any less cool. But I also happen to like what Kubo's done with the Hueco Mundo arc. I really like the parallels to Soul Society. If you stop and think about it for a moment, it really makes sense. You could say Shinigami are "good" and Hollows are "bad". It stands to reason both sides could have more in common than you'd think, and we're seeing just how true that is. Of course Aizen could have some influence on it as well, but someone with that kind of power would influence anything he touched really.
So I really wouldn't say the Nell revelation is a bad plot "twist". There has been enough unique elements in Hueco Mundo aside the parallels to make it a very enjoyable arc. I think Kubo really put a lot of thought into it.
Just my 2 cents.
BigBadBuu
09-05-2007, 05:55 PM
... I really like the parallels to Soul Society. If you stop and think about it for a moment, it really makes sense. ....
Makes you wonder, if Urahara "sent" Yoruichi, who then sent Nell..? :eek:
...and welcome to BA, Red!
Pollux
09-05-2007, 05:56 PM
Great post Morgenstern, really funny.
As I said on Mangahelpers (I admit, I was unfaithful to Bleachasylum :eek:), Kubo must be lonely to draw all these well endowed girls. I don't mean that I don't like it but it's getting repetitive. Well, at least now we can draw a new parallel SS/HM : Yoruichi/Nell.
I bet there will be a new IchigoXAdultNell FC soon.
TheRedPriest

Thanks. Regestered some time back, just haven't posted. Though I noticed that BF is back now too...
Well, at least I have 2 good forums to hang out at now. I should post more... but I'm lazy >_>
Nocturne
09-05-2007, 06:00 PM
I'm liking that IchiHimeNell family became a hot threesome! XDDD LOL and we used to joke about IchiNell at BF too! She's gotten farther with Ichigo than Rukia and Orihime combined after all! She's already sat on his lap, she's recently though roughly massaged his balls twice, etc! It is canon. XDDD *is shot*
spacecat
09-05-2007, 06:01 PM
Well it's ok u guys can think it's cool but i think its hella lame (only cos he did it before parallel schmarallel).

Maybe she'll like kill everyone? maybe?
Maybe she's really hot evil!
Nocturne
09-05-2007, 06:03 PM
Oh, thanks for the spoiler, space! Yes, Nell vs Nnoitora part deux! This will be good fight, though I want to know what happened to her sword.

09-05-2007, 06:05 PM
They are both unconfirmed so don't get too excited yet -_____________-
M.Aizen
09-05-2007, 06:07 PM
Hmmmm, so maybe if Nells fighting Nnoitra, ichigo could probably handle Tesla?
Nocturne
09-05-2007, 06:09 PM
'kay, will keep my excitement to a minimum, space. Though I bet the guys here would rather Nell fights Halibel. :D Looking at the pic makes me think Kubo was missing Matsumoto 'cause Nell's got a rack on her. XD
TheRedPriest
09-05-2007, 06:13 PM
I wonder what Halibel will do now that Nell's transformed. If Nell does start fighting Nori we have to keep in mind she might jump in. I'm having a hard time trying to envision how this fight is going to winde down with so many people around...

spacecat
09-05-2007, 06:17 PM
lol that's ok Nocturne, one of those spoilers did come before the pic but it was kind of predictable so i just dunno whether or not to take it seriously.
Agmaster
09-05-2007, 06:17 PM
I'm just waiting for Nnoitra to whack her over the head with the blunt side of his scythe as everyone else stands gaping. You people do realize he beat her right? Whomp Nnoitra? Ha! That'd be garbage. Sacrifice her life to let the others escape? That'd be nice, but hot girls don't die. Tits == lesser version of MC shield in shounen didn't you know?
How the hell are you shipping her already? Shake my head.
TotalAbsolute
09-05-2007, 06:21 PM
i have to say i saw this coming but her tranformation is smexy... umm i was hoping for a mini nell badass tho. that would have been more cool to me i think..
spacecat
09-05-2007, 06:22 PM
I wonder if Dondo and Pesche are like strong ex ppls also or if they are just a bunch of lucky bandits who came across some hawt babe with amnesia in the desert. Jackpot. Still don't like it :p
NeoSapien
09-05-2007, 06:22 PM
The two spoiler texts are actually compatible, so they are likely to be true. Hopefully this means that we'll know whether Nell has regained her memory and old personality, too.
debbiechan
09-05-2007, 06:23 PM
I wonder if Dondo and Pesche are like strong ex ppls also or if they are just a bunch of lucky bandits who came across some hawt babe with amnesia in the desert. Jackpot. Still don't like it :p
Pesh is a hot babe too. You'll see. :D Or a REALLY hot guy who will come onto Szayel so Renji and Ishida can escape....
I hope so too. If she has something to settle with Nnoi (which seems to be the case), then she'll be, as I predicted, the interruption the IchiNnoi fight needs.
But I expect her personality to change. We'll see how Kubo pulls this out.
@space: well, if the spoilers are true, not a lot happened in this chapter, no wonder it's badly ranked in the ToC.
juunana
09-05-2007, 06:25 PM
ROFL debbie...now that would be creative of Kubo XD
DawnFire
09-05-2007, 06:26 PM
lol I think I am one of the few who is rather disappointed with this. I have never really been disappointed with Bleach before, but with this I am. And I think that's mainly because Kubo has already done this. I want something freash, something new. Don't get me wrong, I do like parallels, a lot actually, but parallels that have some kind of significance, some kind of meaning as to why they are there to begin with. Maybe there will be something later on, I don't know, but as of now I am disappointed. We've already seen the 'cute cuddly [cat, person] transfrom into a hot big breasted woman' act. I want something new, something different. Something else that will make this arc stand apart from the Soul Society arc. Kubo is more creative than to use one of his old plot twists again.
And also I think it bothers me because I absolutely adored child Nell. I loved her lisp and she was so tiny and cute, and though she did have quite a potty mouth, I just wanted to pick her up and hug her! And now that's all changing and that disappoints me.
So yeah, I know I need to wait for more of this chapter to come out before I judge it, but so far I'm disappointed :/
tehworstguy
09-05-2007, 06:30 PM
I'm wondering if Nell couldn't replace Grimmjow as the sixth espada. He's got to at least be kicked out for repeated insubordination, and it seems oddly fitting that Nell, who was once an ally, would fill the role of he who was once a rival.
Nocturne
09-05-2007, 06:31 PM
I do wonder if that's the last we'll see of cute, but potty mouth little Nell. And yes, looking forward to seeing how hot both Pesh and Dondochakka are! Here's to Yumichika Pesh and Ganjyu Dondo to the rescue.
tehworstguy, wouldn't sort of the same rule apply as when Kenpachi defeated (or rather killed) the former #11 captain. In this case, Nnoitora left Nell for dead and was able to replace her. She technically shouldn't be alive to replace anyone.
chbimun
09-05-2007, 06:36 PM
Hah. Kubo had to babe her out and make her 18+ so that the IchiNell shippers on LiveJournal didn't get smashed by the 6APedoPatrol.
I think she's hot and it still looks like Rangiku has the biggest cans in Bleach still. >D

IchiNell canon :yell *Backs away from the thread to prevent over fanboying* Seriously though, I <3 Nell even more.
manfan
09-05-2007, 06:38 PM
There's nothing wrong with Nell changing to an adult form....I actually foresaw Nell able to do that, long time ago.....I think it was during the time when chibi-Nell ran to look for Ichigo in the corridors.
If it is true(*her being the Espada, fighting Noitora for the fifth position)....if it is true.....I would be very disappointed. Disappointed because.....that would mean Ichigo has the potential to beat every of the Espada.....because Nell says so......even with the mask, Ichigo is invicible(towards Ulquiorra and Doldonii).
That's what bother me most.....what a crazy power upgrade in like almost 30 chapters.....and there is no journey to find that true in self.
But in that kind of transformation......Ichigo should be dying of extensive nosebleeds.
Go Ichigo!! Protect Nell from that bad man!!!
Nocturne
09-05-2007, 06:43 PM
LOL manfan, it's shounen law that Ichigo has the potential to beat all the Espada. Nell just reminded us that. XD It will be in this case that Ichigo will have to hide behind Nell's almost non-existent skirt. That or he can go and help Orihime be free of Tesla while Nell takes on Nnoitora.
NeoSapien
09-05-2007, 06:44 PM
Sooooo... now that the repetition between the SS and HM arcs has been reaffirmed, who wants to bet that Tousen will come in and take out Ishida right after he beats the evil mad scientist? Again, that is.
TheRedPriest
09-05-2007, 06:49 PM
I don't think anyone can honestly say Nell transforming is a plot twist. We all saw it comming as far back as when Pesche and Dondo started getting worried about "bad" things happening to her.
Yorurichi being a woman was a plot twist. This? Not even close. But it's still pretty cool. And I'd be surprised if we never see chibi Nell agian.
me551ah
09-05-2007, 06:51 PM
Nell is hawt
Finally some competition for Orhime
Lol, I knew it: Nell actually is/ was an adult woman, just like Yoruichi.
The cat was something like a mascot of the SS arc and Nell was
the mascot of the HM arc if you like. Both turn out to be hot women
in the end....>.< oh Kubo, who didn“t see this coming...? Ingenuity someone? >_>
manfan
09-05-2007, 06:53 PM
I imagined Nell being able to transform into a full-grown woman, very developed because I wanted Nell to teach Ichigo the finest thing about woman.
There's nothing wrong with seeing HM a repetition of SS arc.....every girls deserves her break, not just one girl only.....and I think I want to see Nell.....Princess of Huenco Mundo Universe.....just like Yoruichi, the daughter/heiress of noble Shihouin family.
Nocturne
09-05-2007, 06:54 PM
I would miss chibi Nell though! It would have been awesome if Nnoitora gets beaten up by a little girl. It's way funnier than just being beat up by a woman. XD
BigBadBuu
09-05-2007, 06:55 PM
... I just wanted to pick her up and hug her! And now that's all changing and that disappoints me.
....
Funny, this just makes me want to... :glomp ..."hug" her even more! :D
Edit: On the serious, though.. Perhaps Nell will be the one to teach Ichigo how to control his hollow-ness.

i wonder what else happens in the chapter besides this nell stuff...
i doubt nell will fight, just explain something maybe.
this al seems like it could be a good revelation to get us ready for the end of this arc, maybe nell will re-join the espada later too as #9...i hope not though kinda.

And what wuz about the memory loss thing?
If she'll regain her memory, will she attack Ichigo? She's an arrancar after all :eek: Kubo-sensei is out of ideas.. next stop: Ichigo will defeat Ulquiorra XD

Once again, seems like what Debbie said in her essay (that HM arc seems like a parody of SoulSociety arc) is the [truth]. Anyway, what kind of a twisted mind would turn herself from a hawt Halibel lookalike to a toddler? 0__o
I don't get it why people still expect something [new] and [fresh] from HM. I think it should be fairly obvious by now that it's just a more random version of SS. Now, the only thing I have to say is - Kubo had BETTER do something amazing to explain why he's doing what he's doing, or else. >___>
Other than that, I pretty much expected this, like the rest of you guys. though Yoruichi was hotter I guess this makes my theory that Hariberu and Nerieru are sisters more possible, eh? They do look somewhat alike. :lmao

This explains so much why Cirucci hates being 105 so much. She left Quinta Espada in fine boob-tacular hands and now it's the Arabian Snake Charmer's.
I'd be cheesed at Nell too for getting her head bashed in with an axe and getting mastectomized.

How do you go from being the cutest thing in all of Hueco Mundo to the Sexiest thing in all of Hueco Mundo? Nell is cute but I was kinda hoping she'd stay a Chibi force to be reckoned with.
I suppose a NellvsNoitora fight will satisfy my hunger for full grown, plump female arrancar bouncing around.

I'm waiting to see if Orihime can reject whatever event Nell went through to receive that scar. That's one way Nell can get her Espada costume back. Hopefully her Espada costume is cosplayable! *Please no hanging boobshirt, Kubo!*

Funny, this just makes me want to... :glomp ..."hug" her even more! :D
Edit: On the serious, though.. Perhaps Nell will be the one to teach Ichigo how to control his hollow-ness.
Also, I hope this chapter explains why none of the other Espada recognized her..
The bigger your boobs you have but hide, the stronger you are indeed. Oooh, huggable!
But, serious note.....I don't think Nell will be the one to teach Ichigo how to control his hollow-ness......after all Grimmjaw&Noitora&Doldonii talk about leaving his chocolate behind and become a lean mean selfish killing machine to win it all. Nell never say anything about controlling hollow/not....she just say don't fight anymore, it is scaring her; Ichigo's hollow.
I think it's the opposite.....Nell being the last string(sorry to whoever fans who want to see their favourite girl paired up to Ichigo) for Ichigo to cling on to sanity....before hell breaks loose.

I've figured it out. Nell is going to cut through Nnoitra's eyepatch and turn him into a little kid, leading to Tesla running away with Chibi-Nnoitra. He'll recover later on and come after Nell and Ichigo for revenge, possibly being Ichigo's final fight of the arc.

What a surprise ! I've never seen that before (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2iqu9_transformation-de-maya-natsume-enfe_blog) :)
Seriously, the only meaning of this (if there is one) is that :
* Ichigo & Co won't receive any help from the outside (Shinigami, Vizards, fathers, ...) so that's why there is Nell.
* Nell will eventually be killed (probably while helping Ichigo and his friends to escape).

I really don't know what's everyone deal with the chapter. This couldn't be any better. You people read bleach, don't you? You know how this works by now, I hope. Kubo has only been setting this up forever. It's just pure 100% bleach goodness.

Well thats where I have to disagree.....At them moment this is nowhere near pure 100% bleach goodness....Unless thesres a huge omgaizenisntdeadhyougowhat plot twist (Which of course there will be) This arc is a waste of time.....My actual guess is that Aizen set all of this up...So make ichigo and co. think this is just like SS, therefore they have a chance. When in actuality, Nell is a sleeper cell and when she gets the subtle command, she kills everything around her (dondo and Pesshe have seen this and are afraid)
anyway, thats just a theory and I think it would have been alot cooler if she like had a beast-like form or just whupped ass as an infant in a sock :p

But I totally bet Nell and Grimmjow hook up now XD.
Cant wait for people to cosplay THIS Nell XD.
i agree with velius =D kubo did a looot of things that no one ever expected and now that he does do something predictable i see people go like "omg i am sooo disappointed T__________T;;;;;" don't be!! =D just try to enjoy without expecting all kinds of stuff ^_______^;;;

Yea, that's got to happen, cause main characters are always dying left and right, especially the good guys. ;)
Well, IMHO Nell is doomed :
* If she stays in HM, she'll have Aizen's army against her (unless she's in Aizen's side but so far we have no clue about that).
* If she goes to human world, she'll have the shinigami against her (unless she's hidden in Urahara's or vizard's basement, which would be pretty lame).
That's why I think it would make more sense to have Nell sacrifice herself (which is an honorable end to a minor character) than keeping her alive. Of course we wouldn't watch her die, like we didn't watch Dordonni and Cirrucci die.
Boobs, meh. Damn, those thighs are huge. Thundercats and thunder thighs. That is Hueco Mundo.

Anyway, I'll just whistle this away as another likeable character gone to waste in face of fanservice. I've always liked Nell and that hasn't changed, but I'd rather she wasn't as... generic... as she turned out to be.
And yes, big boobed, big eyed, and kickass-powerful equals GENERIC in Bleach, thxbye.

It's not that she had to transform, it's more like that if she didn't, all we would have is a female hanataro, and she would be that useless to the story if she stayed like that. Kubo didn't want to do that again this time around, so insert ex-espada and adult form and we are done.
tofudtift1986- no, you do, you just aren't honest with yourself (JK)
I'm glad that nell isn't just a useless character (how I saw her before her transformation)

Hanatarou is not that useless, he treated Ichigo's wounds...
Why would Nell have to be a beautiful woman with big breast to be useful?
After all, if he didn't want to make another Hanatarou, he made another Yoruichi.

I might miss little Nell (we may see her again) but this one was thing I was looking forward to--I was even afraid it wouldn't happen. I didn't want Nell to stay the adorable mascot--she had to power up for the plot's sake and its just great that now we may get some Arrancar backstory and extra Nell-Ichigo humor!

I'm not complaining at all! I love this new Nell. I'm not a fan of insipid children in my manga.
I'm all for this DD-development.
ETA: As for the comments regarding the thighs, that's pretty damn normal. She's flexing her quadricepts (thigh muscles) in that position.
As an experiment, get off your duff, squat and check out how much bigger your thigh gets. Her legs are likely as toned as Halibel's
And as for 98% of arrcancar women having huge boobs. Wrong.
We now have 3 large breasted women in HM, Halibel, her Fraccion and Nell. That still leaves us with Lilinete, 2 more of Halibel's fraccion, Loli and Menoli, and Cirucci.
That makes it 33% so far. Still in the minority. :P~~

09-05-2007, 10:17 PM
OMG THANK YOU FOR THE SPOLERS!!!!!!!!
While people have been saying that Nell Youruichi thing was too predictable, I'm sure Kubo has a reason for the parallelism that he's been setting up in this story. Hollow Ichigo vs. Ichigo, SS vs HM aside from simply introducing all the arrancar baddies, I think this is all just part of a significant overarching theme that will be important some time later in the story. The duality of the zanpakto and the shinigami, the vizards coexisting with their inner demon. Aizen attempting to combine and obtain both hollow and shinigami powers for himself.
And perhaps it really isn't all that deep and was just aesthetically appealing to him. But i'd like to think there's something more to it than that. (I hope):o
oh and Big nell is 100 kinds of win. :)

.-. i think my intrest in bleach has been renewed abit by tenjou tenge nell...atleast for the moment. In which case aizen has to be busting through the door chapter after next or its not going to last. I was whining a whole lot about the repetitiveness months and months back, because it seemed like kubo had run out of ideas so early on, but since he keeps pulling out the parallels i have some hope that he's doing it on purpose for some reason not yet explained. But i can't give him so much credit as to put all my faith in that yet.

Nell has grown quite a bit! It is really similar to Youruichi so I was hoping this wouldn't happen. Ah well at least there's not going to be any debate whether Nell is a he or a she, definite she.
Hopefully her character is still the same, I want her to be saying the same dirty things to Ichigo, it would be funny. :D

What was really bothering me was: she becomes a cold woman (cliche character) or a second Yoruichi. This could ruin her.

I get sick of so many women in Bleach having disproportionately large boobs. Seriously, I'm a guy and it gets really old, really fast. It's like the illustrators take attractiveness and amp up the sleeze factor every time they draw anime women like this. They think attractiveness = big boobs, but honestly it works only on a very base level.
At least in Naruto it's the exception to the rule, so it's not cliche.

Where would Bleach be without a few offhand semi-sorta-crack theories? :)
Still, if the pic is real and it looks like it is, I have to agree that it isn't near the plot twist that Yoruichi's reveal was. If there is a twist to Nell, it will be found in her backstory. Maybe she's Ichigo's Mom or maybe she's a clone of Rangiku courtesy of Gin.
Or maybe she's Orihime's mom! There is a certain physical resemblance.
Guh! I'm reaching now. Sorry about that.
Still, I like Nell and even if this is a predictable plot development, at least it is not a random development. Not every reveal should be a surprise. Sometimes a reveal should be exactly what was hinted.

Still, if the pic is real and it looks like it is, I have to agree that it isn't near the plot twist that Yoruichi's reveal was. If there is a twist to Nell, it will be found in her backstory. Maybe she's Ichigo's Mom or maybe she's a clone of Rangiku courtesy of Gin.
Or maybe she's Orihime's mom! There is a certain physical resemblance.
Guh! I'm reaching now. Sorry about that.
LOL, semi-sorta-crack theories rock and keep Bleach interesting! And keep on reaching! I like the idea of Nell being Orihime's mom! But alas, I don't think Orihime's mom is dead yet. Mother figure would be cool though! Anyway, looking at Nell's thigh makes me realize she probably talks from experience when she lectured Ichigo on how men should lie when talking about a woman's weight! XD
I'm looking forward to the interaction between Nell, Ichigo and Orihime. It's going be even more hilarious. To think people didn't give much weight to Nell telling Orihime that Ichigo is there for her because she's a kid and therefore didn't know what she's talking about. Now, looking back at 283 you realize it's a woman telling Orihime that Ichigo is there for her, fighting for her, enduring pain for her! Nell picked up all these things about Ichigo from observing his actions. Even chapter 270, Nell remembered it was Ichigo's reaction to Orihime's name that stood out, not any other name Ulquiorra mentioned. That says a lot. So yey for grown up Nell! Can't wait to see the whole chapter!
Still, I like Nell and even if this is a predictable plot development, at least it is not a random development. Not every reveal should be a surprise. Sometimes a reveal should be exactly what was hinted.
Totally agree! Well said!

Well, if anything else, when this scene is animated it will be a very anticipated episode to watch since Yoruichi's true form was revealed. As for Nnoitra causeing that crack on her mask, shame on him. He might as well have gone to Paris and burn down the Louvre if he is going to desecrate such a work of art.:cry

We have a new Yoruichi...fantastic. Only this one cries, drools and may even poop her pants. Come on...its another SS arc rip. Ichigo is pretty much dead so the big boobs remove their disguise to save him.
Kubo thoughts: "Oh crap...this story isnt going anywhere...uh...er...BOOBS! ~magically turns little baby into hot chick~ Tadaa! Now people wont care about my plot holes ;D"
How long has it been since the characters even changed location...they have all been in the same place for like over three months now -_-

09-06-2007, 08:08 AM
Bleach is so sexual with the whole Hueco Mundo arc XD Menoly and Lolly's skimpy outfits, Orihime's 'unique' dress, Nell and her throat penis, Szayel (nuff said XD), unprecedented attacks on BALLS (ichigo & stark), Ulquiorra's hilarious silhouette, Halibel's undercleavage....
The list goes on and on! XD And now, super-hot, scantily-clad Nell! XD
Oh, Kubo, you pervert, you. What next?
phantomfork
09-06-2007, 08:13 AM
Well, he did say that he loves drawing characters more than anything else. Almost everyone in Bleach has to look handsome/pretty/hot/unique whatever. Especially if he isn't into drawing backgrounds for them. :p
Thanks for the new spoiler pics!
I'm actually pretty excited that Ichigo & co. have a new, potentially strong ally. At this point they really could use all the help they can get.
Orlando
09-06-2007, 08:21 AM
Well she isn't exactly a new potentially strong ally. It has been hinted at since he met her really. I think Kubo needs to put his love of drawing characters aside for a while and find a new love of plot. I love bleach but a new set of boobs and everyone is all wackhoo. Sorry fella's I hate to quote Shania but that don't impress-a me much.
i'm wondering if kubo really is willing to let her character die like some people said o_O;; i think she will get a role similar to kuroud/noba/ririn and she will be in her chibi state when her war-mode is offline and become an adult when she's needed xD
Tomodachi69
09-06-2007, 08:30 AM
Claude? Nova? Ririn? Who are these filler characters? XP
I get what you mean, though.
Well, the thing about Nell, and any other HM "ally" is that HM is just a temporary locale for our heroes to be in. They went there to get 'Hime. After this arc, I suspect that they'll never be there again, so making allies there is, to me, almost pointless. Unless Nell and them can help somehow during WW o__o
Shadoblak
09-06-2007, 08:31 AM
Why should anyone die when Orihime can just reject it :p
A power like that seems to equate to writing into a corner...You can't really have any relevant plot or character development if everyone's immortal...how can you have resolve to protect some one who can be wished back with the dragonballs rejected back into existance

haha, oops.
I forgot that Bleach has a living, breathing god who can change almost anything. =X
Well, 'Hime has the potential to be truly god-like, but her difficulty with healing Ichigo shows that her power is (thankfully) far from perfect. So, if Nell died (I hope not!), I hope 'Hime can't reject it. Noi will use his Espada-ness to do something funky with Nell (lolol) that will make 'Hime unable to bring her back.
Then Ichigo will get pissed --> Shirosaki? XD

If you are talking about Kon inside Ichigo's body.....it's possible to have stroke.

Is that Ichigo yelling angrily at chibi Nell for hiding the truth away from him?

:) I agree and wish it were true for the sake of the story, but I doubt somehow that Kubo would do that instead of making stylish side characters. For me I guess I'll just take it for what it is and enjoy it. :shrug:

Why wouldn't she be able to help them during the winter war? :confused: If the war takes place in Karakura would it really be that difficult for her to get there? Or anywhere else for that matter? In the end if Kubo likes them enough I'm sure he'll find a way to transport them to any location necessary. Remember that cube thing(forgot name; I fail) that grimmjow used to trap Ulquiorra in disneyland? :/ I don't think its COMPLETELY unreasonable.

well oddly enough, when kon's inside that doll, he can easily outrun an ordinary (or even a fast) human and he can shed tears and get hurt. That means that the toy doll in question has nerves and muscles and all that, so I'd guess it is possible :lmao
edit : just saw the spoiler picture and... O__O; It's Nel and not Nell? oh well, kinda weird is it =O

I don't mind this at all. I predicted this, but I'm not disappointed. She doesn't look half bad, some boys like/will like the sight of this. And I can see the amount of IchiNell fans rising... XD
But yeah, I'm one of those who hope that Kubo will get some new ideas in the future. I guess he will, but we might have to wait for them for a while...though I hope not.
I'm looking forward to this Nell/Nnoitra fight...and hoping that we will get some actual plot development soon enough. As for the cover page, I think it's "Nell" not "Nel". :)

We really need to let this whole "throat penis" thing die. What else was she supposed to say? She talks like a little kid. Do little kids know the word "uvula"? Then why would she know "口蓋垂"? She'd know that little thing at the back of your throat by the name that most Japanese kids know it by, "のどちんこ". I'm pretty sure that's what most Japanese people would know it as. It just so happens to basically mean, "throat penis" but it's not strange at all that she would use the word. The reason Ichigo was taken aback in the first place was the way she described the act of reaching in her throat and grabbing her uvula.
I for one don't really care what Nell looks like or what she transforms into. I would like to see her take Noitora's giant axe-looking thing though.

From here (http://www.pantip.com/cafe/chalermthai/topic/A5792598/A5792598.html)
Bleach 290- The broken mask
The chapter begins with Ichigo and Orihime are stunted from Nnoitra’s revelation. Nnoitra then taunts them about how stupid they were to carry such a dangerous person around. Orihime looks at Nell as if wanting to ask what NNoitra said is true.
“N..no….about that…I am not an espada…” Nell replies and that makes Nnoitra to look at her and wonders if she has lost her memories. “N..no. I did not forget. I…am not an espada right?” That angers Nnoitra so he walks toward her and lifts his foot above her head, “I didn’t see you for a while..now you are being annoying on a different manner?” With that he lowers his foot aiming her head but Ichigo comes in between and uses his hand to take to an attack.
“Ichigo..believe me…Nell..didn’t lie about anything to Ichigo.” Ichigo replies without looking back at her “I believe you!” Then turns around and gives her a smile, “Don’t worry, Nell. We wil…” Before he could finish the sentence, Nnoitra’s foot hits Ichigo’s face and throws him back to ground.
“Huh, looks like you really have lost your memories. But whatever, you got smashed on the head like that; it’s not surprising that you’d lost the memories.” His words makes Ichigo asks him if he said ‘smashed on the head..?” Nnoitra admits and then picks Nell above his head and screams “I am the one who smashed her head!!” Ichigo yells out and jumps at Nnoitra but Nnoitra uses his scythe to hit Ichigo’s leg and makes him fall.
Now Ichigo gets beaten by Nnoitra but he still tries to stand up and stares at Nnoitra tells him to let Nell go. Nnoitra doesn’t listen to him so he yells again. This time Nnoitra tells him to shut up. Ichigo runs toward him but this time he lifts Nell up in front of him and that stops Ichigo. With that, Nnoitra kicks Ichigo again and throws Nell away. He takes Ichigo’s hand (the one he holds a sword) and says, “I hate those who cannot win yet just run to me like this. Let’s get it over wit, Shinigami.” Nnoitra squeezes Ichigo’s hand so hard it makes him cries out. Nell sees how much pain Ichigo is in so she screams his name. Right now, Nell is torn between rushing to help Ichigo and just stays put where she is. Even though she’s an arrancar, she’s still a kid at heart and now she’s forced to choose.
Suddenly the blow happens and it stunts Nnoitra. In front of him now there is a woman who her clothes are torned up yet still has a mask that resembles Nell.
annie you are my hero as always, too bad the system doesn't let me rep you again, but you have my love <333 hope you accept that instead as well ^_^:;

Damn, I knew the transformation would be the last picture in the chapter. So now we have it confirmed that Nell did indeed lose her memory. And Nnnnnnoitra is shown to be even more of a heel. I don't know if you can threaten Nell like that and live through the next chapter.
And I'm reading two Ls on the chapter cover because the N looks like an L too? If it's Nel, then Kubo really is a sadist. He's just messing with us now.
Halibel's name is going to be Horibull or something like that.

I think the pics that go with what was said will give their meaning and effect more impact, that at this point, they need, because that summary makes it seem as though nothing happens, at all, plot wise. But I think the two combined will make it sink it a little better.

I wasn't too thrilled with the chapters lately, but I think I'm going to enjoy this one. Nell's new form wasn't really a shocker (damn! Her thigh is huge! :eek:), and I kinda have a slight idea that Nnoitra and her have a history. So, Nell lost her memory because Nnoitra hit her on the head? :headscratch ...Ichigo protected Nell in this chapter...Do I hear Ichigo/Nell = cannon? LOL XD

09-06-2007, 06:19 PM
Oh....I see. She had amnesia and didn't remember. So she really was just a little girl, and not a huge amazon trying to fake being a little girl. That makes a LOT more sense.
..Because I was going to say, if she was really a grown woman faking being a little girl all this time I was seriously going to get weirded out. XD It explains her behaviour and a lot of the things she said a lot better than "Hahaha, no seriously, I'm a little girl! ^_____^" Her actually having reverted to a 'little girl' state explains it well. Poor thing.
I'm going to miss Potatosack!arrancar though. :(
...Grown up Nell (Nerielle?) could crack a walnut behind her knee with those thighs. That lady is tough.

Thanks Annie, spacecat and Danna for having kept the spoilers coming.
So if an Espada gets beaten, do they automatically get kicked out and replaced by whoever won against them? That might explain how Luppi was able to take over Grimmjow's spot.
Other than that, dammit, the one name I was sure Western fandom was spelling right, the one name where the spelling made sense, and Kubo has to suddenly forget his love of double letters. He's probably cackling manically as he plots how to rape the other arrancars' names. Watch Loli turn out to be Rorry.
Still no end to Red, White and Pink, huh?

As for the chapter, it seems really intresting actually. If its predictable, well, then I geuss it cant be helped, but its intresting none the less. I love the idea of a good Banter between Nnoitra and Nell, but not quite as much as I love the idea of Ichigos face next chapter.

Hopefully Pics will bring this chap more points
KurosakiNaruto
09-06-2007, 06:58 PM
I'm thinking if Nell should happen to recover her memories she won't be so cute. Pesshe said she was sacry and for her to have been a former espada struggling against Noitora for the fifth seat i'm not surprised.
If she should happen to turn on Ichigo if in any case she defeats Noitora then this could get a lot more interesting. It would make for an awesome Plot twist. Nelielle Tou, Quinta Espada.
You think Aizen would accept her back?
chbimun
09-06-2007, 07:06 PM
I'm wondering where Cirucci fits in in all this. She's Privaron 105. We don't know for certain if the 5 in 105 is indicative of her former rank or that she was simply the fifth Espada to be replaced. (Or do we?)
If its the former, does this mean Nel and Nnoitra were fighting for Cirucci's spot?
Lucia
09-06-2007, 07:06 PM
So if an Espada gets beaten, do they automatically get kicked out and replaced by whoever won against them? That might explain how Luppi was able to take over Grimmjow's spot.
Yeah, it looks that way. I think the Gotei 13 has the same rule too. Didn't Zaraki beat the previous captain and took over the 11th division? Or was that only in the anime filler? :headscratch
Lucia- the part of the fight that was shown was filler, but that is what happened.
chbimun- that makes sense

am I the only one who thinks that Nell won't beat Nnoitra? I mean... she'd have to be severely overpowered to beat (or even hurt) him!
I'd much rather she lose now, and then they fight in the winter war after she's gotten more powerful. Like how Dordonii wanted to surpass the new espada, she could have the same goal.

Thanks Annie, Danna, and space for everything!
I was hoping we'd get a fight scene or mini-flashback to Nel's backstory, but I guess we have to wait one more week! I don't mind, I'm looking forward to the possibility of Nel and Nnoitora fighting! That is going to be cool and will probably cause a few nosebleeds or two if Nel fights in her nearly naked state. XD Nel's memory is fascinating though. She knows where the entrance to Las Noches was and how long it would take for Ichigo and co to get there. She has a mouth of a sailor and thinks like a woman especially when it comes to telling a man to lie about a woman's weight! It's been fun going back and imagining all the Nel scenes with her as a woman and now you realize her calling Ichigo a virgin isn't so outrageous! XD
Anyway, if she is the former #5, that means she's most likely stronger than Ichigo. It will be cool if she's the one who manages to save both Orihime and Ichigo. I want to know how she's able to transform from adult to child and back. Is it similar to how Yoruichi transforms into a cat? Usually, we only know Espada to transform when they release so this is an entirely different power altogether.

Oh....I see. She had amnesia and didn't remember. So she really was just a little girl, and not a huge amazon trying to fake being a little girl. That makes a LOT more sense.
..Because I was going to say, if she was really a grown woman faking being a little girl all this time I was seriously going to get weirded out. XD It explains her behaviour and a lot of the things she said a lot better than "Hahaha, no seriously, I'm a little girl! ^_____^" Her actually having reverted to a 'little girl' state explains it well. Poor thing.
I'm going to miss Potatosack!arrancar though. :(
...Grown up Nell (Nerielle?) could crack a walnut behind her knee with those thighs. That lady is tough.
I imagine she's not actually a little girl but when she got hit in the head, it removed all of her memories and made her essentially a child mentally and she unconsciously took that form.

Yeah, I guess that's what I was trying to say. XD That when she was small, she wasn't a grown woman pretending to be a little girl, she mentally was a little girl.
Poor thing, that must have been one hell of a smack upside the head. o_o;
holy... so that's what was hiding underneath that robe.
so, Nnoi smacks Nell upside the head causing her to lose her memories and to revert into a child... wow. it'll be interesting to see how Nell will act now that she's back to her adult self. i honestly cannot see her acting "maturely" now even with that body. her vomit cannon is a critical part of what makes nell, nell, dangit!

Nel could be the one who gave Nnoitra the smash on his left eye.

I'm curious about Nell's form, if that's something she's able to do at will, go from adult to child and back, similar to how Yoruichi can easily transform into a cat and back. It could have been caused by trauma or it could be something she's done before. Nnoitora did recognize her at the form she was in and wasn't surprised about her form, just commented on how pathetic she looked. He kept insisting Nell's an Espada and commented on her memory, but nothing about her form. So he's aware that Nell can turn into a kid, like it's her ability that he knows about.

Yeah I thought so too :D Nell Cut his face /eye/, and he cut Nells mask, in a lethal clash :3 Looks like, the mask is a more sensitive spot :S
I don't think Nell can change like Yoruichi, I think it's subconscious thing, to save Ichigo, and right after she done so, she'll change back /I hope so/ OR She'll stay like this forever from now on :S I like her face in the adult form ^^ But the cover will be nice too :3 /that one is screaming for colors :P/

Thanks so much for the mini raw! :)
I will miss cute mini Nell (but on the plus side I didnt want to watch cute nell get beat up, I really felt for Ichigo jumping in there to defend a child).
And the last panel got me to wondering, Where do Hollows get thier clothes?

Please tell me that's not "Kurosaki-kun" she says.
Overall, less brutal than I thought it'd be.

Didn't you know Aizen sama personally sews them clothes.xD Nah I really have no idea ><.
Hmm poor lil nel. Her little feet look so adorable.
EDIT: Yes I believe thats what she is saying. Kubo needs to be more inventive with poor Inoue's dialougue. >_>
Thanks Spacecat. :hug
