Xil, I forget NOTHING. Except sometimes breakfast. However, the adult Nel we got for the Nnoitra smackdown was definitely more serious than this Nel from the short exposure; I think that was purposeful to further differentiate the Nelliel from the Nel, if you get me, but it still felt kind of forced. That being said, I refered to Espada Nel being artificially serious, meaning her in the ambiguously-dated flashback, where I think Kubo tried too hard to set up a dichotomy between adult and kid Nel.
