Talk:Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck

Well actually Nel's attack "Lanzador Verde" in spanish means "green thrower" but is probably a misstranslation of spanish to japanese, for the name to actually mean "green lancer" the spanish would be "Lanza Verde"
 * Actually no lanza means Lance or spear thus "Lanza Verde" would mean Green Lance not Lancer also Lanzado could also be translated as spearman thus the name could also be green spearman WhiteStrike 23:21, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Move?
Not that I agree or disagree, but shouldn't we have discussed this first, or does nobody mind? Arrancar109 17:27, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm SO SORRY!!!

Name Change
Apparently on a official Japanese card her name has 3 L's in it. so the question is should her profile be changed to reflect that? Along with that is the translation correct or is the card even admissible as an actual source? Your thoughts?Salubri 14:49, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Personally, I don't like the spelling with 3 L's, because it would require changing many articles, and that takes a lot of time. But the card game could be just as liable a source as the video games, and we used "Jeagerjaques" and "Schiffer" for a long time, until volume 38 was released. I guess it somewhat depends on what some of the other contributors think. Arrancar109 16:39, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Im in agreement about the change, it seems kinda unnecessary, all that change for one more L. I get the reliable source thing but really a card game and video game are like secondary and for the most part non-canon. we only recently changed grimmjow and ulquiorra and like you stated it was behind the fact that kibo actually wrote them that way and that was from notes attached to the manga. So all in all I say no. Salubri 17:56, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

I just want the spamming to stop over such a pointless issue. Vinak963 03:39, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Ha-ha! I agree. It isn't nesessary until Kubo says something himself. HuecoMuffin 15:44, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

so would the spelling be "Nelliel Tu Oderschvank" or "Neliell Tu Oderschvank"--Kisukeiscool100396 18:35, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I have been runing into merchandice for her that use the spelling Nelliel for her name and I think it should be changed as before the cover page which showed us Halibel as Harribel i had already seen one of the cards in the card name which ahd her name as Harribel. Also if we look at all the Espada it would make sense for her name o be Nelliel as all of them have at least one double letter.

Starrk, Harribel, Barragan, Ulquiorra, Szayel Aporro = RR; Nnoitra, Gantenbainne = NN; Grimmjow, Zonmmari, Yammy = MM; Luppi = LL; Cirucci = CC; Aaroniero Arruruerie=AA & RR; Dordonii and Alessandro Del Socacchio=II, SS & CC WhiteStrike 14:09, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Cards are not canon. Moving it because of a card is a horrible idea. Drunk Samurai 04:30, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

It looks like the change already happened; As long as its canonical the move sounds fine.Renji Abarai 05:04, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

The move was not canonical because they went off a card. Drunk Samurai 05:38, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Reason for Move
The reason for the move from Neliel to Nelliel is based on the card game. This reason was taken because there is no offcial proff that her name is spelled with only one l l. Also in the card game prior to his name being revealed there was a card based on Starrk wich revelaed his named as such and the same thing for Harribel's card. There is also no evidence of her last name sepelling as Oderschvank when most merchandise use Odelschwanck however since this spelling is not found in any Official source it will remain the way it is until a more valuable source is found. WhiteStrike 14:25, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I've only realized after reading this entry that it may be Odelschwanck. Since it sounds German, 'w' is pronounced as 'v' and 'v' is pronounced as 'f'. For example, the famous Volkswagen. Most people will read it as "volkswagen" when in reality, it really is read as "folksvagen".--Agate genbu 14:55, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't matter what a card says because they are not canon. You need to wait for the manga regardless of what other cards say. I mean by that logic then Jyabura from One Piece would be known as Jabra because of a screw up by Shonen Jump. Drunk Samurai 18:18, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok but do you have material that shows her name as Neliel because if you dont then all we can do is use the most offical name we got in this case it wiil be the one from the card.WhiteStrike 23:20, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Cards are not officially canon. The only officially canon material are the manga and the databooks. Drunk Samurai 17:43, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I made a "poll" (below this topic) regarding the name change so that we don't have to waste time and argue about which source is right and which isn't.

Broken mask fragments-Only 5?
What about Dordonni the privaron espada? Ichigo broke his mask in half...

Neliel or Nelliel
Apparently, on an official Japanese card, her name has changed to Nelliel. Note that it is the same brand of cards that used "Schiffer" and "Jeagerjaques", until volume 38 was released. And I don't remember there being two Ls when her cover page was released. This confused a great deal of editors (like me), so I decided to create a poll which gives others the liberty to vote on whichever name you prefer, Neliel or Nelliel.

Vote "Single L" if you want Neliel, or "Double Ls" if you prefer Nelliel. I vote for "Single L". Krone8

I go for two Ls. I have stated my opinion about that on the espada talk page. Go see it if you want. --Agate genbu 15:14, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Single l. Cards are not canon. Drunk Samurai 03:53, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Sure, I'll vote. It really makes no difference to me, because I will continue calling her Neliel no matter what. My reason is simply because I am used to it, and Dattebayo subs it that way. Also, I don't find a card to be canon. HuecoMuffin 20:32, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Comment here too if you want to vote. Drunk Samurai 00:46, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm for the single L, most of the fans I know write it her name with one L, and no one would dare consider a card canon...most of them are printed/designed by people who don't even watch the show they're making the merchandise for.

Profile Image
Someone seems to be changing Nel's profile image to her adult form. At this point, should we go ahead and do so since it is her original appearance, or should we leave it as her kid form, since she is still in her child state? Arrancar109 02:15, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

while she does appear more often in ehr kid form, her adult form is her REAL form and is more identifyable as such is more important, the kid form doesnt express the TRUE Nel, as she has no memory of her self in it.--RexGodwin 02:20, 13 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I think we should leave her picture as Nel instead of Nelliel since this is who she is now. Nelliel while her true form is more of a powerup of sorts for her now. she is Nel now, and her child form is more identifiable, since she has been seen in it longer. WhiteStrike 06:48, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Isnt it a shame
What tite did to neliel, the all powerful buxom tercera espada, to let her be defeated at the hands of nnoitra, he just dont treat my gals with any respect, hopefully she gets her powers back and kicks yammy azz all over the place lol, she is too good a character in the series to be left out for soo long.Shinji hirako 14:36, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Trivia - speculation
The trivia section contains the following: "both Nelliel and Tia Harribel were the only female Espada in their generation"

This is true for Harribel. But we do not know the identity of the other Espada from Nelliel's generation (bar Nnoitra and AA). That leaves 7 Espada, whose genders are unknown. On top of that, we know that Ciriucci Thunderwitch was an Espada in the past (though not when). I think it is wrong to say that Nelliel was the only female Espada at the time as we simply do not know that. Thus, I think it should be removed as it is (unfounded) speculation, though the remainder of that point can stay. --Yyp 19:43, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

As nobody objected, I have changed the trivia as stated above. Perhaps something could be added about how they both have weapons after releasing, or both have long hair if anybody feels that the statement needs to be padded out further. I would also like to draw attention to this:

"Considering each Espada being a reference to a unique aspect of death, Nelliel would also have an aspect unknown to the reader. However, with how much she has in common with the current Tercera, her aspect is believed to have been "sacrifice" as well."

I think that that should be changed/removed as, while I understand the reasoning behind it, it is pure speculation. --Yyp 12:58, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I agree with you as it is just speculation, as there is no indication that she had the same aspect, or for that matter, that Espada always had a reference to death. Twocents 17:01, 4 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, it has been a week and nobody has objected to this or proposed an alternative, so I've removed it. --Yyp 12:35, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Trivia clean-up
Keeping with the recent clean up of the trivia section, I have removed the following:


 * Nelliel is one of six Arrancar (and only Espada) whose mask remnants are broken during battle, the others being Ggio Vega, Findor Carias, Edrad Liones, Dordonii Alessandro Del Socacchio, and Nirgge Parduoc. The drastic change she undergoes as a result of this is apparently due to her enormous power leaking out.


 * Nelliel is the only former Espada who is known to have had Fracción.

If anyone has a good reason for why these should be included on her page, please state it here rather than just adding it back in without explaination. I'm inclined to remove the trivia about her similarities to Harribel too, but I'm leaving that there for now. --Yyp 23:20, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Her last name is Odelschwanck.
We never had an official source of her last name right? Well, her official name was released in a dvd box set released shortly after her fight with Nnoitra some time ago. Now, of course you have the people who use the typical nonsense "Its not canon therefore its not true" excuse. But her last name "Oderschvank" as of right now isn't canon seeing as that's a fan translation of her name, and was never released by Tite Kubo. So as of now "Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck" is her official name. Need proof? Here you go sugar.

http://pics.livejournal.com/nomoreprinces/pic/000dkh05.png Also, here is baby Nel's official name. http://pics.livejournal.com/nomoreprinces/pic/000dhr0r.png But we already had confirmation on her name.

Note: Sorry if I sound mean, but it really irritates me how people deny things that are so blatantly real, regardless if it was in the manga or not. Her last name was never romanized in the manga, so this is the most official spelling we have as of now. Thunderwitch 18:43, November 11, 2009 (UTC)
