The sooner we have adult Nel with us...the sooner I will be pleased (fanservice is pretty much one of the only reasons I keep coming back to Bleach...unlike the plot...)

This was my reaction.

Somehow, I just knew it would be Halibel behind the curtain :heh:

On the other hand, Nel's appearance completely shocked me; as expected, she's in child form for now, unfortunately, but hopefully she will return to her "true" self eventually :love:

Wonder where Halibel's girls went, though. I wouldn't be surprised if she sacrificed herself so they could escape. Annnnd if Nel hasn't already, they might find Ichigo and ask him to rescue her.

I think Halibel's girls are cinders. Yamaji, remember? No grass growin where Ryuginjaka strikes and all.... doesn't matter though. They were a lot more disagreable than her. They lacked the cleavage too, even if all three combined to Allon-bust XD ...

yea exactly. no complaints, at least he is listening to the fans: kill those stupid henchmen and bring back the hollow boobs. done and done

I thought so too, but it was explained to me that in a data book they are listed as still alive... maybe they can form allon-bust this time?

So did I. But I was thinking of her as a womb-like vessel, used for creating Arrancars... Well, maybe that's still the case. But not just tied up. :heh:

Didn't the databook say they survived with her?

If this were a H manga that would definitely be the case :heh:

The thread for chapter 485 has been created here. So you can now discuss that chapter in it's respective thread.

Bleach Official Character Book 3 UNMASKED; pages 230-231

Is when Halibel is named ruler of HM remember Baraggan was ruler of HM then was overthrown by Aizen and with both now gone Halibel took over.

harribel is a vaste lord it was only mentioned directly in the anime, but backed in the Bleach: Official Character Book 2 MASKED.

Actually in the short novel that was released, she seemed to have denied the offer to take over HM, even though her fraccion highlighted the fact that she was now the strongest known resident. This was the translated quote:
Take it as you will.

thx for bringing that up, never bothered with databooks and such on Bleach XD

Well since its about halibel I'll give it a look :D

gotta say though, her three fracion surviving is an insult to the old guy...

Orihime healed them from the databooks.

he respected the fact they attacked him w/ only one arm, he gave them mercy with a "light toasting" as he put it.

I'm happey. I got my Nel back. :D

That's all I've wanted since I last saw her. Maybe now we can get her blasted mask fixed if it's not already.
