Bleach 194

[Abdula]

Except that the flashback shows that Nel was pretty much the same when she was an Espada.He's saying that he's stronger than Nel, but she kept winning because she had been an Arrancar longer than him. He used Saziel to beat her, but he didn't want to kill her, he wanted her to be too injured to get stronger for a few years so that he could bridge his perceived experience gap, and when she returned, he'd beat her with his superior strength.

But when she turned into a kid, he assumed she'd be stuck like that and he'd never get his rematch.

Whats happening now, is what he always wanted from the beginning. He's had the chance to catch up in experience, and she has a reason to fight him for real. This battle is what he's always dreamed of really.

Wow, that was surprisingly insightful DarthEnder.

Well, even if that few years have passed, Nel is still kicking Nnoitra's ass like no tomorrow. Sure, he might have the element of surprise, but now she's releasing her Soul Slayer, which means some butt-kicking for poor Rank 5 Nnoitra. All his sayings are pretty much weak without proof, basically.

All things considered, I think he is just playing around with her. He already said that number on her back means nothing and we have not seen anything from her thus far, except that Cero Double attack, that suggests that she is anywhere near Grim's level and we know Nnoitra is stronger than Grim was. So like DE said, if this is the battle he has always wanted I'd think he would prolong it for as long as he can, especially if he knows he is stronger than she is.
