The Frightening Banquet, Szayel Aporro Theater

Nnoitra overpowers the tired Ichigo, and when Orihime attempts to help, Tesla threatens to destroy her hair clips, the source of her power which would allow her to stop Tesla. Szayel Aporro releases his zanpakutou and creates clones of Renji, Uryuu, Pesche and Dondochakka. Furthermore, he releases the power limiter in the room to allow Renji and Uryuu to fight at full power. Meanwhile, Nnoitra encounters Nel and recognizes her. When Ichigo asks how he knows Nel, Nnoitra reveals Nel's true name is Neliel Tu Odelschwanck, indicating that she is a former Espada.
