This fanclub is for fans of the Tesra x Nnoitra pairing. If you like this pairing, please join!
Welcome to version 3: "Reach forth our hands to connect our hearts".
The lineart for our banner this version is by Kubo-sensei.
Rules:
Spoiler!
- If you do not like a pairing DO NOT post in that pairing FC. If you read the fanclub and want to discuss something that was said then sort it out via PM or elsewhere, do NOT go into that fanclub and start a war. Anyone posting in a pairing fanclub that isn't a fan will almost automatically recieve a ban.
- You can discuss other pairings but when others discuss your pairing negatively and you don't like it sort it out through pm, if you break the above rule to start a flame war it's an instant ban.
- Neg reps to rival pairing fc posts over such things won't be tolerated. I consider this being in an FC of a pairing you don't like therefore breaking a rule.
- I'd suggest just totally not reading the fc of the pairing you don't like but I know that is never gonna happen. You all wanna be able to talk about other pairings so much well fine but just be prepared for others to do it about your favourite pairing also. These rules were changed as per YOUR wishes so don't come complaining to me when you decide you don't like the change.
FC etiquette:
Spoiler!
Please don't ~
- bash characters you don't like if they come up in conversation.
- make one-line posts. Use rep if you want to say thank-you.
- hotlink graphics from artists' sites. Post a link, not the graphic.
- go off-topic. If it doesn't relate to the pairing in some way, take it somewhere private.
Please do ~
- use spoiler tags until the chapter is posted. Not everyone reads spoilers.
- be polite even if you disagree.
- have fun talking about the pairing!
Thank-you for your cooperation!

His mask fragment consists of upper and lower jawbones surrounding his Hollow hole and across his forehead.

personality: His defining characteristics are his unquestionable loyalty and devotion to Nnoitra.
About the pairing
Tesra isn’t really an obedient and submissive servant. He tries to follow orders, he really does. If Nnoitra does something Tesra doesn’t approve of, though, he questions him about it. It’s heavily implied that instead of Nnoitra choosing him as a Fraccion, Tesra simply attached himself to Nnoitra. And of course there’s Tesra’s habit of outright disobeying orders in favour of protecting Nnoitra. If Tesra perceives that Nnoitra may be in danger, duty is forgotten in the face of devotion, even if disobeying means that Nnoitra will yell at and threaten him later. He genuinely cares about Nnoitra, no matter how much Nnoitra tries to push him away.
Nnoitra clearly doesn’t mind this insubordination as much as he pretends to. It’s not as though he doesn’t have the means to get rid of Tesra if it was really a problem. If he really annoyed Nnoitra badly enough, Nnoitra would either kill him outright or use the Caja Negacion on him and think nothing more of it. We see, though, that Tesra was obviously following Nnoitra for a long time without major damage. Nnoitra, it seems, only gets violent if there’s someone nearby who might see, and any violence stops just short of actually hurting Tesra. If it’s just them (as we see in a couple of the flashback sequences), Nnoitra is … almost nice to Tesla, and he is actually able to talk without yelling or threatening. He’s a completely different person from the loud-mouthed, short-tempered, violent individual that the Bleach cast (and most of the fandom) perceives him to be.
Birthday flowers
- References list one of two flowers for Nnoitra's birthday: lotus (symbolising life, rebirth, purity of heart and mind, and enlightenment; meaning "estranged love, I love you still") and locust tree (symbolising tenacity under adversity; meaning "love beyond the grave"). Both of these flower meanings pertain to eternal love for the one he lost.
- For Tesra's birthday, his flower is the strawberry. This is a symbol of purity, goodness, sensuality, fertility, perfection, and love. It's also shaped like a heart, and strawberry flowers just happen to have five petals. The language of flowers says strawberries mean "esteemed love, perfection". "Esteemed love" is also called by the Greek term "agape" ("divine love"), which is the purest form of love.
Other interesting tidbits
- The first manga chapter in which they both appear is 263. This chapter was published during Valentine's week (onemanga lists the date as 16 February 2007). That more or less makes Valentine's Day their anniversary.
- Their birthdays are exactly six months apart.
- When Tesra is allowed to fight, the markings across his jacket change from four to six (with six markings appearing on his Resurreccion). In Nnoitra's Resurreccion, he can increase from four to six arms at full power.
- Their eye patches mirror each other. Thus we have one "left-brained" (logical) character and one "right-brained" (emotional) character.

Volume 33 poem:
Spoiler!
俺達は虫
We are insects
不揮発性の
悪意の下で
這い回る蠕虫
Nonvolatile
Lowly evil
Crawling worms
首をもたげる
月より高く
We lift our heads
Higher than the moon
憐れなお前等が
見えなこなるまで
Your pity
Can no longer be seen
Note: Why is this here? The speaker is "we"; the only person Nnoitra ever includes in his "we" is Tesra (see chapter 313). Nnoitra may be speaking in the poem, but Tesla is metaphorically at his side as he addresses Nelliel et al.
