The Frightening Banquet, Szayel Aporro Theater

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