Kenpachi: …Man…

Nnoitra: *pant* // *pant* // *pant*
Kenpachi: You’re still alive, huh…?
Nnoitra: *pant* // *pant* // *pant*

Kenpachi: I’m impressed. // You’re pretty damn tough. // See ya.
Nnoitra: ! // W - / Wait!!
Kenpachi: The hell? / What’re you shoutin’ about?

Nnoitra: Where the fuck d’you think you’re goin’…?! // This fight ain’t over yet…!!
Kenpachi: You stupid? // That blow finished ya. / I sure as hell can’t be bothered to hang around… / …finishin’ off a guy who can’t even fight back.
Nnoitra: …Is that right… // Well, if that’s how it is… // …then this sure as hell ain’t over yet…!

Nnoitra: ‘Cause I’m still… // …damn well ready to keep on fightin’……! // …What’s wrong…? / Why don’t'cha say somethin’……? // *pant* // *pant* // *pant* // …Ya scared, punk…?! // Speak, dammit……!

Nnoitra: ARE YOU FUCKIN’ SCARED OF ME?! // SHINIGAMI!!!! // WELL?!!
Kenpachi: …Tch. // …Annoying kinda guy, aren’t ya… // Go on, then. // Come at me.

Nnoitra: (Why?)
Flashback!Nel: You were given no orders to exterminate this colony. // Why did you commit this slaughter?
Flashback!Nnoitra: Ah, shaddup. // Nobody ever told me not to kill ‘em.
Flashback!Nel: Aizen-sama’s orders were to “seek the Vasto Lorde“. / Murdering entire colonies stands against that objective.
Flashback!Nnoitra: Hey, it’s not like everyone’s crazy about Aizen-sama, ya know! / If they resist, that makes ‘em rebels, right? // Killin’ rebels, that’s like helpin’ Aizen-sama out!


Flashback!Nnoitra: ‘Sides, if I can take ‘em out just like that, ain’t no way in hell they’re Vasto Lorde. / I’d say I’m followin’ orders just fine. // You’re gettin’ awful uptight over a measly couple of hundred Hollows!
Flashback!Nel: I suggest you think before you speak, Nnoitra. // We ourselves were once Hollows such as these; it was our own good fortune that we evolved beyond that, nothing more.
Flashback!Nnoitra: So I piss you off, huh? // Then come at me already! / That’s if ya think you can beat me.
Flashback!Nel: …I’m frankly shocked. // Even after becoming an Espada, / you are little more than a child.
Flashback!Nnoitra: The fuck was that…?! // Wait! / Wait up!

Flashback!Nnoitra: …Why’d ya help me?
Flashback!Nel: …I didn’t “help you”. / I simply prevented the Espada from losing a member… // …by putting an end to your ridiculous suicidal conduct.
Flashback!Nnoitra: …Neliel. // I can’t fuckin’ stand you. / I’m sure you know that well enough… // So why…? // Why do ya keep followin’ me around like this?

Flashback!Nel: It is because… // …you are weaker than I.
Nnoitra: (Oh, fuck off.)

Nnoitra: (Every fuckin’ one of ‘em… // They have the gall to take pity on me… // And they don’t even know… // …how much they’re hurtin’ me by doin’ it. // I don’t do “mercy”. // Strong, weak, infant, monster… // I just smash ‘em all to pieces. // I don’t give ‘em the chance… // …to get up a second time. // I don’t…

Nel: ……Nnoi… // …tra……?
