Summary
Nnoitra Jiruga begins to overpower the tired Ichigo Kurosaki, and when Orihime Inoue attempts to help, Tesla threatens to destroy the source of her power. Szayel Aporro Granz releases his Zanpakutō and creates clones of Renji Abarai, Uryū Ishida, Dondochakka Bilstin and Pesche Guatiche. Furthermore, he releases the power limiter in the room to allow Renji and Uryū to fight at full power. Meanwhile, Nnoitra encounters Nel Tu and recognizes her. When Ichigo asks why he knows Nel, Nnoitra reveals that her true name is Nelliel Tu Oderschvank, a former Espada.
