I dislike adult Nel too, come to think of it, for being an airhead and a bit of a prick towards people who clearly disliked her. So yeah, whatever she does, I won't care much for it. But it does mean we get to see other Arrancar survivors and more Urahara.

Stern Ritter M just explained the Unohana-Nnoitra connection. It's hardly important. If Unohana does return at all, it'll be as Zaraki's Zanpakutou spirit.

Although I too think Nel have been annoying at times, I think you're a bit harsh on her. Maybe Nelliel was too harsh on Nnoitra, but when someone openly hates and despises you, what can you do? It's not your fault if you're stronger than them, neither that they hate you for it, are you just gonna let them dominate you?

And that's just my theory on how Unohana knew Nnoitra's full name, it seems the most likely option to me.

And Unohana returning as Zaraki's Zanpakutô spirit is just hilariously funny. But it's a good idea. He loves to fight, slash and kill, even to the point of restraining his own power to make his fights last longer. Who would better do as his Zanpakutô spirit than the one person who was said to know every type of sword and swordmanship in the world?

I don't blame Nelliel for disliking Nnoitra or for telling him off when he goes after her, but he clearly despised her and yet she continued to follow him. He even told her to stop, to leave him alone because he hated her and what did she do? She follows him, and not only that, she mocks him and looks down on him in the process. You don't tuck a piece of meat under your shirt and then dance around starving tigers, but that's exactly what she was doing. She always acted so surprised when he attacked her and when he declared his intent to defeat her, but really, she brought it on herself. The man hates you, so leave him alone. Why keep following him and annoying him? She damned herself, Pesche, and Dondochaka with her antics, so I don't really feel much sympathy for her. That, and she makes one hell of an annoying baby.

I can't see Zaraki's Zanpakutou having any kind of special ranged attack, so maybe soomeone like Unohana being his Zanpakutou spirit would provide Zaraki with a cool new ability, the ability to adapt and learn any style of fighting he so chooses. He won't be stuck with his Kendo all the time that way and it opens up a lot of avenues for new fighting styles.
