1. Before the battle

6 lines

Nelliel, who had regained her true form, saved Ichigo from his predicament and seemed to have a slight upper hand against Nnoitora, but...

Nnoitora

Why'd you stop your sword?

Nelliel

Why'd you stop yours?

Nnoitora

You idiot. It's obvious. I stopped my sword because I saw you stop your sword!

You're so annoying. When I'm fighting you, I can't help but think back.

You haven't changed one single bit.

2. Before the boss

Nelliel

There, all done. I'm happy that's over in time for lunch. If I were late, the others might've gotten worried.

Nnoitora

Hold it!

I thought I said this was a fight to the finish. We're not done yet.

Nelliel

I refuse. You don't deserve to have such an honor.

When we became Hollows, we transformed from humans to beasts. And then, as Arrancars, we regained our sense of reason.

Those with the ability to reason must have a purpose to fight. You lack a purpose.

You are still a beast. I cannot acknowledge you as a true warrior.

I won't have the life of someone who isn't a warrior on my conscience.

*Glare*

Nnoitora

You'd probably tell me I'm acting like some mindless primal beast again. As if I care.

Nel

Er... Uh...

Nnoitora

Did she just...turn into a child?

I suppose that's the last time our swords will ever cross. That really is a shame.

Nnoitora

You honestly think you've got a chance? If you had half a brain, you'd just surrender!

Nelliel

Praise...

Gamuza!

Ichigo
