Why choose the Nel cosplay mask?
This mask recreates the remnants of Nel's Hollow mask, the skull that sits on top of the head rather than over the face. It includes the crack running down the left side and the missing teeth, the small detail that instantly identifies the character. The two curved horns complete the look. In short, an accessory that's recognized at first glance at any convention.
Who is Nel?
Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, known as Nel Tu, was the third Espada (Tres Espada) in Sosuke Aizen's army, her aspect of death being sacrifice. A head wound dealt by Nnoitra caused her to regress into a small, amnesiac girl, who eventually joins Ichigo in Hueco Mundo. You'll recognize her by her green hair and the red line that crosses her face. Her signature technique? The Cero Doble, which absorbs the opponent's Cero and fires it back fused with her own.
How to wear the Nel cosplay mask?
Worn on top of the head, like the original skull, not in front of the face. It rounds out a Nel cosplay for a convention, a photo shoot or Halloween. Pair it with a green wig so the resemblance really stands out.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know.
Why does Nel wear a skull on her head?
Nel's skull is the remnant of her Hollow mask, the mark every Arrancar keeps after removing their mask. The crack running through it dates back to Nnoitra's betrayal, when he struck her by surprise before throwing her out of Las Noches. That wound caused her amnesia and her regression into a child. The cracked skull alone tells the whole backstory of this Bleach character, which is why it matters so much in a cosplay.
Who is Nel Tu really in Bleach?
Nel Tu is actually Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, the former third Espada of Aizen's army. A formidable warrior opposed to needless violence, she was trapped by Nnoitra and Szayelaporro, who wounded her and cast her out of Las Noches. Reduced to an amnesiac child form, she wanders Hueco Mundo until she meets Ichigo, at whose side she occasionally recovers her adult form and her former power.
How is this mask worn and what size does it fit?
This mask sits on top of the head, like Nel's in Bleach, not over the face: it does not block vision or breathing. Its one-size fit suits most adults and it stays in place on hair as well as over a green wig. Lightweight, it can be worn without difficulty for several hours at a convention or through a whole photo session without becoming uncomfortable.
What material is this mask made of?
This mask is made of a rigid, lightweight moulded material that holds its shape without weighing on your head. The smooth surface reproduces Nel's cracked skull with its distinctive teeth and fissure. Care is simple: a wipe with a soft cloth, slightly damp if needed, is enough to clean it. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or in a hot car to preserve its original shape over time.
