More About Nel Tu

Nel does not carry a zanpakutō in her child form, but has the unique ability to swallow enemy attacks and fire them back with powerful force exceeding that of the original hit, indicated by the eyes on her skull mask glowing (as well as being able to accelerate her movements with what seem to be a rudimentary form of Sonido). She also has the ability to heal others with her vomit (which she believes to be saliva). In her original form, she carries a zanpakutō with a green sheath and a hilt shaped like two crescent moons joined together at each other's back. Her speed and strength are greatly increased as well, fitting with her former position. She retains her attack absorption ability in her original form, and also performs it with greater ease. According to Nnoitra, Nel's trademark is to absorb an incoming cero and fire one of her own while returning it, thus creating a "double cero".

Nel is so Sweet

Neliel Tu Oderschvank

Neliel Tu Oderschvank commonly known as Nel Tu is a good-natured, child-like arrancar when first introduced. The remains of her hollow mask make up a cartoonish skull on the top of her head. Nel's appearance is in stark contrast to her vocabulary, which contains a number of bizarre phrases and words one wouldn't expect such a small child to know, such as referring to herself as a masochist. Nel and her companions represent oddities among hollows; though most hollows are evil, Nel actually fears shinigami, assuming they are in fact the evil ones. In spite of this, she develops an attachment to Ichigo and follows him into Las Noches.

Nel's true form is that of a fully-grown woman with longer hair but otherwise similar features. Her skull mask changes slightly, its features appearing less cartoonish with a pair of curved horns. A large "3" tattooed on her back indicates that she was previously the 3rd Espada She was expelled from Las Noches by Nnoitra Jiruga after a sneak attack by him and Szayel Aporro Granz caused her to turn into her child-form and gave her amnesia. Because of her amnesia, she is doubtful when Nnoitra identifies her as a former Espada, but when he begins harming Ichigo, Nel's concern causes her to spontaneously transform into her previous form. Although having grown up physically, she still seems to have her child-like affection over Ichigo, as she suddenly hugs him after attacking Nnoitra without realizing that Ichigo was losing consciousness. She reverts back to her child form, with no apparent memory of what had just occurred, before she could defeat Nnoitra and is left at his mercy.
