Halibel *could* be interesting if she had any lines.

I actually like that she doesn't say much. It's pretty contrast to 95% of the other characters who do nothing but talk. The few times she has said something it's usually pretty significant (for example: putting her facion in their place by saying it's natural to be scared by an arrancar fighting in their resurrected form during the Grimjow/Ichigo fight). She seems to be the type who allows her actions to speak for her, which, in my opinion, we could use more of at the moment.
Until her fight comes up and she launches into a 3 chapter soliloquy cause she's tired of not having enough lines
Wasn't exactly what I was thinking when I said that, sorry.
I was going along more of her Bankai just makes her stupid fast and strong. And her Zanpaktou staying around the same size. Also some one brought up, not sure if it was on these forums, possibly her Bankai will release more options besides just her finger for a 2 hit kill.
Her bankai will be a dildo.
If she sticks it up your butt twice, you explode.
You've been warned.
I thought they did a pretty good job with the backstory this episode. Wish we had seen more fighting between Nel and Nnoitra in the past (wasn't there a scene where Nel criticized him for killing a bunch of hollows or something in the manga?), but overall I felt they did a good job of portraying her.
3 more eps to go till things get really good though if what hanataro said is right~
God, they really did the backstory well. I don't remember ever sympathizing with what happened too much but the way it showed them without their masks and Neliel's head being split open, that was really emotionally charged.
I didn't remember her releasing her Zanpaktou, gotta go back and read the manga now. Shit's getting epic.
edit: oh ya, centaur nel accidentally back to baby form. Man gonna be a rough next two episodes watching stuff go downhill until the captains arrive.
You mean this one, cut from AMV hell 3, or one of the others?
I just noticed something after watching the episode that I didnt catch in the manga. I know during the flashback, Apallo wasnt in the espada, but just realized Nnoitra tells Appalo "you arent in the espada anymore" (manga has same translation).
So Apallo was strong enough to be an espada at one point, but then was replaced by stronger ones, then got back in at #8. So I'd have to guess the Espada fight/kill off each other quite frequently for them to be dieing off like that.
Also kinda wondering why Nnoitra hasnt tried to kill Halibel. She's a female with a higher rank than him, and being stronger than him didnt stop him from going after Nel. unless he knows he stands no chance against her and she wouldnt hesitate to kill him I guess.
think that comes alittle later.(wasn't there a scene where Nel criticized him for killing a bunch of hollows or something in the manga?)
and last thing: they got rid of previews?
edit cause I confused Apollo with AA. possibly cause they were both in long fights that dragged on in a stupidly long fashion
Halibel's really a man, you heard it here first. Nnoitra knows his shit.

I agree the anime is good with how they did Nel's backstory. The epic music they had when she was fighting Nnoritora in the past was really good. Added a lot to it. You can tell they're stretching the fights and Nel's fraccion as much as they can. It's not all THAT bad though. The actual fights and content themselves are good though. Can't wait til Kenpachi fights Nnoritora.

No Nanao ; ;
I don't know if I mentioned this, but I was going back in the manga to the Mayuri fight with the espada, and I noticed something at the end.

wtf is in there lol, I don't really want to get back into BS chapters to find out, but i'd really like to know - hopefully there is more info in the anime, should be coming up in the next 2 weeks.
It'd be pretty sweet if Momo and anything 10th squad-related get killed in the upcoming battles. Would make for a pleasant twist and make me instantly forget the past couple of weeks.
yeah ive been waiting forever to see those bodies.they remind me of yoruichi and ganju lol. not suggesting it is them but they do look like a tall woman and a fat guy to me
