... Nel why are you hitting yourself with a hammer?

also are those twin blades in their sealed state, or are they shikai? Also also, we need to see if we can bring the rest of our friends down here because reasons

>>27191261
>>27191271

I think she's trying to become something other than an arrancar.

Which makes a small amount of sense, but I still don't like this. At all.

Cosgrove, what do our new swords look like? I need to know for reasons.

>>27191297
I think you're right. I think she saw us heal ourselves from having a holey and fragmented soul to be whole again. She's trying to become fully human.

>>27191255
This will go really good or really bad for her...lets come up from behind her, steady her, and help her if she'll have us. It'll be like the pottery wheel scene from Ghost, except with a hammer and anvil instead of a pottery wheel.

Also no Patrick Swazy, and I think Nel is taller than us. Point is...lets lend a hand...and maybe some blood and sweat.

Kind of hoping they both have long hilts like one of Ichigos current swords. Silly long hilts are my fetish.
Also if we still have that bow thing going, it'll play well to that

>>27191314
But she doesn't have a hollow hole remember?

>>27191314
She doesn't have a hole though so she's already got a leg up on everyone else.

Also we need to ask her what she's doing since this probably shouldn't hurt her as much as it is.

Maybe, but she has no idea how this works. I know because Ichigo has no idea what the hell he just did.

Also, I wonder if Nel is failing to reformer herself or if she just got mind controlled by the hammer to start beating on her sword.

We should probably talk her through this either by getting her to settle on what she wants to become, or by straight up telling her what her strengths will be. Start with CQCQ (Close Quarter Combat Queen), stealth and her loyalty to her inclination towards pacifism.

>>27191150
Walk her through the process. She need to focus on what she is and what she needs to become. (I think...)

"Nel? I'm not going to tell you to stop what you're doing, but could you at least tell me what you're trying to do?"

>>27191289
Almost reminds me of the swordfight at the end of Biomega

>>27191297

>They're like that >>27191332, except that there's two of them, one black- one white- they also seem to have another function, too...

They can also combine into one BIG sword

So, who thinks that Mayuri is watching this through his surveillance bacteria and getting frustrated with the static he's getting from Nel whenever she hits the hammer to her sword?

>>27191398
Seconded.

>>27191418
There's already two swords in that picture?

>>27191444
I think he means those are our two swords. The longer one is probably white; and the shorter butchers blade is probably the black one.

>>27191444
The larger sword.

>>27191418
Aww permanent release? That sucks.

>>27191495
Wow, that's bigger than I was expecting.

>>27191446
Go back to the Ishida Aside, go on, I'll wait a minute.

Now then.

We passed BASED AKON while walking through the 12th division labs. Hiyori has barely grown two feet since leaving SS, while Akon grew up, though I very much doubt he forgot his former Lt even with her hair down. Speed run no kills team got made by the one division that wouldn't raise an alarm because Captain K is no fool. Before we left the 12 we'd likely walked right through a cloud of the stuff. Mayuri has been watching/laughing his way to the bank. Mark my words, him or Akon know what's up. It might help us out more in proving Momo's innocence once the blank situation is sorted. If Kenpachi and Soi Fon aren't enough/won't be heard/give none of the fucks.

>>27191505
We can probably unreleased them, but I think we'd still end up with both a regular looking katana and the shorter blade (whose name I know I know even if I don't know it off hand) that is generally paired with it.

Perma-release seems confirmed; No biggie; but that'll make them kind of hard to walk around with.

Okay, this is going to be fun.

>>27191591
Looks like we still have a lot of growing to do.

>>27191698
I notice Hollow is gone entirely, Cero seems to be part of our Zanpakuto, and Regeneration is now a passive ability that we can attempt to speed up.

Its still there, but no longer a discreet power-set, so I doubt we'd need the mask any longer.

>>27191745

Or was that just some combo of our quincy powers and whatever zangetsu's natural abilities would have been had we not had hollow bits

>>27191749
>make a giant broadsword that might also function as a shield maybe
>Siegfried from Soul Calibur

Also one of the captains in my Bleach Quest after this one wraps up releases his zanpakuto onto a large broadsword and his scabbard into a shield
They may or may not be gold instead of black.

>>27191756
It could just be that Zangetsu has been reborn, and we need to prove ourselves to him once more.

But yeah, weird that it seems as if our Hollow powers have completely integrated with our Shinigami ones.

Also we lost that Quincy speed move?

>>27191818

It looks like we lost any Quincy shit we had going except the ranks :(

>ask her what she’s doing
>steady her

You Call out to her. “Nel?! Nel, what are you doing?”

But she can’t hear you, over the hammer, the forging, or her own screams- your voice is not able to be heard. You run over to her, setting your swords to the side, and steady her as it looks like she’s about to fall.

She glances at you- but only for a moment as the forge consumes her attention. You try and shout, but she can’t- or won’t - listen to you. But, you know she won’t last long like this- you can feel it.

>[ ]Help her forge-indirectly
>[ ]Help her forge- directly
>[ ]Keep her steady, don’t do anything more

>>27191818
It seems more that the Hollow and Quincy have fused... the ranged attack that takes the form of a bow shoots a cero; and the large two handed blade (reminiscent of Whites old arms and/or the quincy melee weapon of choice) lets loose our Getsuga which feels distinctly quincy to me.

>>27191818
>we lost that Quincy speed move?

well, we DID lose the embodiment of our quincy-ness.

She's flagging and needs help enduring this. Give it to her. Support her now and have her hold the sword while we finish it when she can no longer swing the hammer. This must be done right the first time, because there may well be no second chance for Nel.

>>27191848

IF she still looks like she's going down then step in to help directly

>>27191848
>Keep her steady, don’t do anything more
She's doing this for herself, and we should respect that.

Yeah I guess helping her indirectly could work.

What we'd want doesn't really mean so much when everyone wants to help us regardless.

You keep her steady, you arms gripping her. “HANG ON, NEL!”

She slams the hammer down and you move with her, helping add to her blows- again and again. However, even with your help, she’s losing strength-

You grasp the hammer, your hands supporting hers as you put your strength into it. You’re comrades- you you’re both going into this, together!

You work with her, side by side, as she keeps it together- even though she’s also breaking apart. But that’s fixing itself- so it’s fine.

Hopefully

When she stops, its because you know she’s done- the steam and smoke created from the sword’s processing makes it hard to see anything, though. But you can feel Neliel slump against you- she’s too tired to stand, but the sword making process isn’t done yet.

She still needs to quench the blade.

“Nel- you need to finish it.”

“…trd… hlp…. Ichgo…”

She’s exhausted, barely able to speak.

She's pulled multiple arm muscles Anon. She physically CAN'T (pardon the emphasis) do this herself at present. Just isn't going to happen. So the options are let the blade aircool which will cause the metal to soften or to somehow help her quench it. She isn't making it to the door on her own,

You look at her. “Nel- I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you! Grab it, as tight as you can.”

She nods, a last stretch of Determination entering her eyes as she grabs the blade- it hurts her, you know it does- but she doesn’t say a word. She wobbles as you pick her up into a princess carry, careful to not let her sword touch you as you march outside, smoke and steam from the blade almost blinding.

But you walk forward, down the hill, and into the snow before letting her down as she slams the blade into the snow, gasping as steam flies upward.

When it clears, Neliel is there- the mask on her head is gone and she seems smaller- like she’s several years younger. She pulls up the blade out of the snow and falls onto her back, exhausted, but grinning triumphantly.

If that is the case, I GUARANTEE it was an intentional decision on her part.

Man, if Nel is a human, SS is going to be even more pissed with us because think about this for a second, what happens to all the souls of a menos when they're purified? Hell, the process of menos evolution might even bring new souls into the equation due to the personalities of the hollow. Which could balance the equation of souls being permanently destroyed.

But if Nel's human...

What happened to all the souls she ate while she was a hollow?

>>27193235
>it was an intentional decision on her part.
The question is, how will Hime and Momo take this?

>>27193149

To be honest it was never explained what happens to the souls a hollow eats,was it?

>>27193255
We be smart and keep it to MomoHime and that's it.

>>27193249
We have no where near enough information on the purification and cycle of souls, especially in relation to hollows to say anything.

Fuck you. We were about to die powerless and had information that forging would fix it, she did it without even telling us.

>>27193249
Arrancars don't release souls, last I checked.

>>27193249
Ok, why would Nel be human? Or by human do you mean a Soul (as in Soul Society type human soul and not Hollow or random variant)? Either way my guess is that she's something new.

>>27193349
Except we were never told what becomes of Menos or Arrancar when they are purified.

I mean when Aaroneiro and Syazel were killed, it looks like the whole of them were taken to Hell, even though statistically speaking the vast majority of their component souls were innocent.

We do kind of treat her as a senior/ authority figure.

Or they were tainted by association. Or when multiple souls fuse to form a menos, they can only be purified into a single entity. My pet theory is that Kenny is a purified adjucas or vasto, and that most of the eleventh are purified hollows (this is based solely on their love of fighting and general bad attitude/insanity).
