''[[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/posts/8241267/ Now You Feel Like Number None]]'' by Omicron is a ''{{Manga/Bleach}}'' Arrancar Quest on [[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/ Sufficient Velocity]] It follows the adventures of Nemo Elcorbuzier, Arrancar #48, one of Aizen's more expendable minions, an obsolete Arrancar of no great power. However, all things strive, and in the empty halls of Las Noches, a clear mind and a [[HiddenDepths steady heart]] can sometimes be worth more than brute strength.

* AscendedExtra: Many if not most of the Arrancar to feature in the story had little to no role in the original manga besides "be introduced, engage in one-off fight scene against secondary character(s), lose, die or vanish from the story", with only a handful even receiving backstories. This includes Cirucci, Luppi, Findorr, Grimmjow's Fraccion, and the Tres Bestias.

** [[spoiler:Ichimaru, one of the very few Soul Reapers to perish in the original Hueco Mundo arc, carries out his betrayal of Aizen in a very different fashion--instead of trying to kill him directly, he destroys the space they're traveling in. Though Aizen is lost for [[YearInsideHourOutside countless millennia to his perception]], which ends up being instrumental to his ultimate defeat, Ichimaru is revealed in the last scene of the story to have somehow survived and escaped (albeit being scarred and blinded in the process), and he's now hiding out in the human world, telling tall tales of his past deeds to uninterested women.]]
