Summary
Nnoitra Jiruga recalls his past encounters with Nelliel Tu Oderschvank, in which Nelliel would spar with Nnoitra and easily defeat him. In one session, Nnoitra demanded that she continue the fight until one of them died, and Nel refused. As a result, Nnoitra attacked Neliel's subordinates, Dondochakka Bilstin and Pesche Guatiche, and with Szayel Aporro Granz's aid, was able to paralyze Neliel long enough for him to land an attack on her. He left her outside Las Noches, where she transformed into an amnesiac child, and Dondochakka and Pesche vowed to protect her. In the present, Nnoitra taunts Neliel about their past, and Neliel prepares to release her Zanpakutō.
