I'm American too and I still think English grammar is nonsensical.Really, it kinda is. And I say that as an American who's been speaking English all my life.
...Is that heretical? I feel like it is.

Seriously, lets get cracking on the point-to-point portals. Portals are useful.
Nah, English grammar is great. You can verb your nouns and noun your verbs and that is magical.I'm American too and I still think English grammar is nonsensical.
The fact that your current avatar is a SMT demon with a toothy grin on it's mask face is too damn appropriate.Nah, English grammar is great. You can verb your nouns and noun your verbs and that is magical.
Someone help me, but what did Nemo see?
My current assumption is that she saw his Resureccion, with the even greater and more terrifying form of his Segunda Etapa mode locked behind it. (and her going 'if it manifests I'm dead" is because this is her first time around a Vasto Lorde).
But is it instead her seeing his Segunda Etapa, and then seeing a mode even stronger behind that lock?
You no longer see the awful outline of the horned, winged devil. Ulquiorra is his simple self, unassuming short man with black hair and tear-like makeup, with only one horn, that of his broken fragment of mask.

So, considering we're planning on trying to convince Szayel to make his armor less torturous to Yammy, we probably need to think of a good reason that would convince him.
Fortunately, there's one that has no moral weight either way. Namely, if Yammy is in constant pain, he'll gradually grow to regard it as his new normal, and either get used to it or start being sad. Which will cause him to slowly weaken over time as he grows less angry.
It'd be more effective if he was only in pain while he was fighting, so he associated pain with combat, causing the two sources of anger to link and feed off of each other. We also probably don't want him to associate other arrancar with pain, because while Szayel probably put a restraining bolt in him, when someone's power is 'endless growth' you should probably plan for them growing past any restraints.
Fortunately, Yammy is going to be pointed at a specific species, so if the armor can be designed to only inflict pain when exposed to the spiritual energy of non-hollows and non-arrancar, with a specific exception for Aizen and his coterie, he'll be powered up around them, as well as causing him to grow gradually stronger in combat against them as he grows to hate them.
Edit: Good La Marana pieces would be something from us or Sadbat for regeneration, and something from Zommari to allow him to function despite disabling amounts of pain and/or injuries, similar to Ransōtengai.
Well, if it inflicts euphoria, you should pair it with shame so he is powered by the endless pressure of being unable to grow to his full size?Some of the energy could be recycled to numb Yammy's sense of pain; you might be able to move the overall design from a focus on pain-induced rage to a kind of euphoric trance…
It's right there in the update; dissociation. He feels all the pain and anger, but doesn't care about it. Bam, two thousand percent less horrible. The entire feedback loop is in the background of his mind.So, considering we're planning on trying to convince Szayel to make his armor less torturous to Yammy, we probably need to think of a good reason that would convince him.
It does obsolete Spider Friend more than those other skills obsolete those other friends.No more than HSR or Medicine obsolete Esmeralda, or Marana obsoletes Alphonse.
Besides, you can only portal to places you know where to go, and Spider is better travelled than Nemo. He knows more places to go,
And Luppi's probably honest too! Okay, he didn't do it entirely for the love of the art, he also did it because he found it funny, but he does seem invested in the opera and wants to see it become worthy of ghost mexican Michael Bay."No, it's fine, I don't expect thanks. I did it all…" He curtseys deeply, "for the love of the art."
Tesla straight up says why. He finds the Espada that are alone and pledges himself to them, with the downside that the Espada without Fraccion usually have a reason for that. Seeing as he styles himself a knight, he probably does this to take care of menial tasks for his "lord" so they don't need to waste time and energy on things below them.What is with Telsa and picking some of the worst people to follow?
Ulqiorra, you are being an idiot. You fully know what madness lead to Cirucci taking on Nnoitra, and it wasn't her hunger for prestige."A belated pang of guilt for taking out two of our most valuable pieces in her hunger for prestige? Fascinating, if pointless. We are soldiers. We have no need of festivities."
Good point, didn't think about just making him angry directly.I think, if the goal is to be less sadistic, the best plan is to skip the pain idea altogether, and try to use Marana to induce rage directly. Yammy doesn't become strong by hurting, he becomes stronger by getting angry. Hurting makes him angry, yes, but there's no real reason you have to go through the step of hurting him first. And if you could just generate an anger feedback loop directly, injuring him to cause pain would be suboptimal, since injury weakens him as it angers him.
Beyond that, there's the whole problem of being crushed into a suit that's too small causing agony. That's harder to fix than having spikes on the inside of the suit. But, well, Nemo signed on to help build a torture suit, so there's probably no way to get rid of all the torture, or even most of it.
The problem with that is that it might count as being less angry if he's dissociated from it.It's right there in the update; dissociation. He feels all the pain and anger, but doesn't care about it. Bam, two thousand percent less horrible. The entire feedback loop is in the background of his mind.

Then you take the clarity of the foreground of his mind and use it as the basis for a robotic operating system, so that Syazal doesn't constantly have to make sure that he's not going to kill anybody Aizen likes.
Less torture = Terminator Yammy. The perfect plan.
Sadbat is, as far as it's known, a Natural arrancar.My interpretation of the vision Nemo had while sensing the Quatro is that the devil overlapped on him is his release, and the lock around his heart is (maybe) his bonus release form.
Likely Nemo doesn't understand and won't until/unless Ulquiorra goes super duper sadbat.
Edit: Was sadbat made with the plot rock? I'm wondering if he knows how the old Espada were more nobility than power monsters.
Nope. Natural arrancar by the time he met Aizen. He broke his mask by walking into a tree.
Which is the dumbest backstory ever oh my godNope. Natural arrancar by the time he met Aizen. He broke his mask by walking into a tree.

It's like
It's less vaguely offensive than Harribel's backstory
But it is even dumber
