Espada Civil War, Dragon King VS Mantis!

Though they were both Espada, as Arrancar, the relationships among the Espada could not be called bad—only fairly ordinary.

The only two among the Espada who had a relatively good relationship were Ulquiorra, who represented emptiness in death, and Yammy, who represented rage.

Of course, the one replaced might have been Nnoitra, because the only difference
