Nianzol Weizol is a Sternritter of the Wandenreich, marked with the letter W for the power he calls The Wind. Riding inside Yhwach's shadow into the Soul King Palace, this smug, two-tongued Quincy turns aside every blow sent at his master, until a cleverer trap undoes him.
Nianzol is a youthful man whose long black hair falls in an unruly shag, his eyes a dull grey in the anime and gold on the manga's color pages. Most unusual is his mouth, which holds a pair of tongues. He wraps himself in a white, collarless, double-breasted coat that opens at each arm and carries four four-pointed stars along its lower hem, and he goes about barefoot.
Cocky and quick to mock, Nianzol brands Senjumaru Shutara insolent for daring to attack when his power makes every strike futile. He has a well-noted flaw of never quite finishing an explanation, a shortcoming others have pointed out to him more than once. Nor does he waste any concern on his own side, letting the Soldat perish in scalding water rather than lift a finger to save them with his ability.

Five Bleach female characters, ranked and settled. Yoruichi sits at number five, the spot nobody expects, and our number one is an Arrancar with a soft heart....

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....
Nianzol's spiritual power stands at or above a captain's, and like any Quincy he draws reishi from his surroundings to fashion his strength. His Schrift, The Wind, bends any attack aimed at a chosen target harmlessly aside rather than blocking it outright, warping even swords out of their path, and he can do so on pure instinct, so that ambushes fail as surely as blows he can see. By flicking a finger he can even fold an enemy's own body out of shape, splitting them in two. His one limit is speed, since a strike too swift for him to register slips past the deflection entirely. Carried into the Soul King Palace within Yhwach's shadow, he waved away the swords of Senjumaru's guards with ease, but she had quietly rebuilt his coat, and when she willed it a bank of spikes erupted through him from inside the garment, leaving his corpse to be tipped off the walkway.
Nianzol Weizol rides inside Yhwach's shadow into the Soul King Palace because his Schrift, The Wind, can turn aside virtually any attack aimed at a chosen target, letting him shield his leader from harm.
Yhwach commands the Wandenreich, and Nianzol Weizol serves within it as one of its Sternritter, marked with the letter W.
Nianzol Weizol's spiritual power stands at or above the level of a Soul Society captain, and his Schrift lets him deflect nearly any attack on instinct, though a strike too fast for him to register can slip past his defense.
Nianzol's Schrift is called The Wind, an ability that bends any attack aimed at a chosen target harmlessly aside rather than blocking it, working even against ambushes and able to warp an enemy's body out of shape.
Nianzol Weizol dies when Senjumaru Shutara, having secretly rebuilt his coat, triggers a bank of spikes that erupts through him from inside the garment during the assault on the Soul King Palace.
