Tekken 8 Cosplay: Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck (Bleach)
🕑 Added 2025-07-19 09:15:53 +0000 UTCWe've got another Tekken 8 Cosplay here, and one that I should have posted a long time ago. I've been sitting on this, just not posting it for some reason or another. In any case, this is a pretty simple but effective anime to game recreation I think, of the lovely Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck or Nel, for short.
Nel is, of course, from the Bleach anime/manga, where she is a recurring character and ally of the protagonist, Ichigo Kurosaki. Nel is an arrancar, a type of spirit being in the world of Hueco Mundo- in effect, one of the baddies. In fact, she was formerly one of the Espada, the elite of the baddies, ranking No.3 among them. But due to a betrayal and attempted murder by one of her comrades, she lost her memory and much of her power for a while. She usually appears as a toddler version of her self, but when danger arises (specifically, danger to her beloved Ichigo), she transforms into her true form.
So Nel's true for is that of a hot, busty, green-haired babe with a broken skull helm of sorts on top of her head, a distinct scar across her nose. Her outfit is basically just a tattered green top and bottom, but best of all, she's bare-legged and barefoot, being one of the very rare barefoot babes in all of Bleach (which is why I think she's a fave of mine).
Definitely needs to see Nel more in the Bleach anime, in her true form, and kicking ass. Well, we'll make up for that in Tekken 8, so expect to see our Nel in action (and inaction) from here on.
