  • What are your thoughts on Nnoitra's past with Neliel, was her being a woman really the main source of his anger or was there something more to it?

    @Tekking101, you forgot an extremely important part about Nnoitra. He himself fell into despair because there was no meaning in life and no hope in Hueco Mundo for any Hollow. He wanted to become the strongest because that's all he had. Or he wanted to die in the process and either was fine. That's why he hated Nel so much. He also didn't die immediately. Kenpachi didn't want to finish him off, so Nnoitra charged into his death, since he also hated it when others looked down on him.

    Personally, I find Nnoitora’s aspect of death to run deeper/more personally than just him enjoying the despair of his opponents. I think the way Nnoitora embodies despair shows in the crippling reality of what it means to have an inferiority complex. I believe that in Nnoitora’s eyes he knows that he isn’t the strongest, however this fact gives him all the more reason to claim that he is, because if he didn’t, he himself would succumb to despair namely in the thought that no matter what he’ll always be weak and absolutely nothing in the eyes of everyone around him. Extending from this, I think Kubo is a genius for writing Nnoitora the way that he did. I think Kubo wrote Nnoitora with no real redeeming qualities to emphasize the true reason as to why he feels as if he has to be the strongest, because if he isn’t then there’s nothing else special about him. Nnoitora, in my opinion, was made to be an unlikable character ‘cause at the same time Nnoitora isn’t necessarily a character to be liked but to be understood. And this might be stretching it, but I think Nnoitora having the strongest Hierro is also a nod at his tragic character. I feel like this ability of his shows how much effort he puts into maintaining this bravado and incredibly tough exterior because deep down he knows that without it there’ll be nothing left. I probably sounded repetitive and a little convoluted but this is basically why Nnoitora is criminally misunderstood and my absolute favorite Espada (Hope Tekking sees this😳😳)

    The best part of the "two-hands" moment is the exchange preceding it.
    "Do you know that if you wield your sword with two hands, it gets substantially stronger?"
    "That's perfectly obvious, you dumbass!"
    "...I don't think you realize... JUST HOW MUCH."
    Then the slash.

    Nnoitra is like a praying mantis because of: 1: size, praying mantises can be sized from 2-6 inches (although not the largest still considerably large) like nnoitra who is the second tallest espada at 7.0” 1/2 beaten by yammy at 7.6” 1/2. 2: bats, to praying mantises, bats can be threatening, and ulquiorra’s release is murcielago (bat) also ulquiorra is the 4th espada while nnoitra is 5th. 3: stealth, praying mantises stalk pray and wait for an opportunity to attack, like nnoitra with grimmjow 4: females, nnoitra hates nel because he believes men should always be stronger than women, which can be partially linked to female praying mantises killing the male after mating, also praying mantis mating season takes place in autumn and nnoitra’s official birthday is in autumn (11th of November)

    @yellowlemonPenguin 4 ปีที่แล้ว +41

    I just realized that his sword embodies his self-destructiveness and how self-centered he is. The blade is aimed inwards, representing how his focus, his edge, is faced inward, that he's concentrated inward. The edgeless back of japanese blades is designed to block right? well all of the part that would easily be used for offense in his blade is in turn completely defensive. Later on when his blade evolves it starts growing inward toward the handle. He is hard on himself for being weak, defensive against those who force him to dwell on that and his major end goals are either becoming the strongest or dying by the hands of those who are stronger.
    Dispair is his motif because he feels it just as much as others and would rather die than confront it.

I can see how she constantly wounded Nnoitra's ego at every turn even if that wasn't her intention.

      Because Shunsui's Bankai ability that he was using at the moment took whatever color he called and vastly increased the damage he did to anything with that color. He slashed -- not stabbed -- Stark's hole which had black edges. And Shunsui called out black before making the attack.

    37:42- It really makes the parallel between him and Zaraki strong- Nnoitra is a nihilist who seeks his death, not respected by his peers for his vulgar personality, extreme arrogance of being stronger than his rank suggesters, can't win a fight with a proper enemy without luck/cheating, relishes bullying the weak/injured in any way he can, hates the woman stronger than he- that he never shows how he surpassed her, causing despair, hating losing because it reinforces his weakness while not actually training to improve- using the Hogyoku to boost his power, fights without honor to the point his abilities complement this belief, and was a misogynistic barbarian who didn't see beyond mindless carnage.
    Zaraki is a constant seeker of challenge who wants to continue to fight those worthy his time, is feared for his ferocity/strength, believed to be so dangerous that it took the apocalypse to allow him a chance to improve himself, wins fights so often that he has to restrain himself most of the time, gives even weaker enemies a chance by holding back/doesn't approve of killing the unarmed, admires the woman he believes he can never surpass- when ironically he did as a child- causing him to hold back out of fear of acknowledging it, losing causes him to rethink his priorities- making him want to improve, gives his enemies so many advantages with artificial elements to help that belief and is a surprisingly introspective person who sees the deeper meaning of battle.

  • @pieoverlord
    @pieoverlord 4 ปีที่แล้ว +116

    The deeper level behind Nnoitra hating Nel is that he fancied her too. He was attracted to someone that terrified him and made him feel inferior and, being the prick he is, couldn't separate those feelings - shifting it all into complete hatred as the only other option for him was his own despair. His strongest hierro is meant to be ironic since he clearly has the thinnest skin.

    His lack of using cero seems to make people think he's weaker. I feel like ranged - energy attacks get much more bias than physical attacks when it comes to general anime fandom. But you know what? I think his lack of cero use probably stems from trauma. After all, he spent his life trying to defeat a woman who has the ability to swallow ceros and shoot them back at him. I can imagine after a few times, even after busting out a gran rey or maybe even cero oscuras, Nnoitra decided "f*** that" and stopped using it in battle.

  • @animefan77
    @animefan77 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    12:23- Nnoitra is unique in that it's clear that unlike the other Espada, (Grimmjow- Ichigo's big rival, Ulquiorra- Ichigo- sorta rival/an interesting relationship with Orihime, Zommari- Byakuya's reinforcement of his care to Rukia, Aaroniero- a physical manifestation of Rukia's final step to move away from her guilt, Barragan- a reinforcement of Aizen's forceful superiority onto others, Starrk- a demonstration of how ruthless Starrk is, Szyayel embodies everything Mayuri despises, Halibel-....demonstration of Aizen's cruelty/Toshiro water/ice rivarly- honestly she's just there, and Yammy- sort of Ulquiorra's enforcer/big brute to demonstrate how much stronger a character is. Nnoitra, while he reinforces Kennpachi's love of combat and surprising adherence to an alien sense of honor, Nnoitra is his own character with his own foil in Neliel, a non-violent warrior who prefers more rational thinking and likely more optimistic viewpoints than Nnoitra's brutal nature and utter nihilism of desiring his own death- either at being the strongest or dying by a worthy enemy.

    there's always a deeper meaning behind something even when no one can see it. Nnoitra was a beast and a barbarian who relished in the hopelessness he caused but he wasn't immune to his own aspect; he not only hated Neliel for being a woman of higher rank than him but what she represents to him. Nnoitra (at least in my opinion) hated reality and lived in his own bubble with "I am the strongest" as his barrier and tesla holding said barrier up and complacent with that; it's not like he couldn't but didn't want to less forced to which Neliel and finally Zaraki did and that was his despair.

    Just want to mention, the reason Kenpachi mentions how if you swing with 2 arms, your attacks are stronger and how its not that obvious is because he was criticizing Nnoitra on how he could have won the fight if he focussed all his arms into a single attack but he was too slow on that. Also Kenpachi gave Nnoitra a chance to retreat but Nnoitra has always been seeking the kind of fight where he gives it his all and then dies, adding more to his despair motif

    Sure if Nnoitra fought Unohana, it would have been the same reaction, but at this point in time, there is no way she would allow that side to come out and I think that she would just have died, rather than release that side of her.
    Nnoitra fell into his own despair because he was up against the only personality that counters his own.
