Plus, Resurreccións of his Fracción, all look identical to their pre-arrancar appearance. His Resurrección doesn't turn him in a big cat, but rather in a humanoid with feline... parts. Why Nnoitra is higher ranked than Grimmjow, despite being an Adjucha is a rather simple matter; Nnoitra had, at some point in past, defeated Cirucci Sanderwicci, but left her alive. This explains his promotion to 5th Espada, AND also explains her Privaron Espada status as well as her number (105). But then again, this is just my theory.

I was just wondering are you going by the (perfectly plausible but unproven) theory that the Privaron's numbers are their previous Espada numbers with a 1 stuck in front of them and further assuming you gain the number of the Espada that you defeated? I feel it all really falls part though because I think you are confusing Nelliel with Cirucci. He fought, tricked, defeated and left Nel alive, not Cirucci. Nel was 3, so by that logic he would have become number 3 himself, not 5.
