This page contains spoilers for non-manga readers

Noitora (ノイトラ), sometimes romanized as Nnoitra, is a character from the manga/anime Bleach and is the Quinta (5th) Espada in Aizen's army. He is rude, lecherous, a chauvinist and will use any dirty to defeat an opponent. Noitora is able to shoot a cero from the tip of his tongue and by touching his fingertip to the ground, Nnoitra can track and measure sources of spiritual power. As well, he claims to have the toughest hierro out of any Espada. His tattoo is on his tongue and his hollow hole, as well as the fragment of his hollow mask, is underneath his eyepatch.

His zanpakuto is called Santa Teresa 聖哭螳螂（サンタテレサ）,which in Japaneses means "sacred crying mantis" and in Spanish is a common term for "Mantis religiosa." In its unreleased form his zanpakuto is giant scythe with two crescent moon blades and a long chain that he uses for range attacks, while in its released form it takes on an appearance of scythe-like forelegs of a praying mantis, and splits into four identical blades for each of his hands. When Noitora releases he gains two extra arm, with an extra set that he conceals for surprise attacks, and his mask grows larger and has jagged tooth. As well, he grows a pair of horns on his head, one longer on one side than the other, in a shape resembling a crescent moon. In his release state he is able to heal his wounds almost instantly and can regenerate severed limbs.

In the past Noitora was formally the eighth espada. He held a grudge towards the than third espada Nel Tu Oderschvank, despising that fact that a women was stronger than him. He would constantly get into fights with her and would lose every time. Later on, with the help of Szayel, Noitora was able to defeat Nel, giving her the scar that ran across her forehead, and threw her and her fracción out of Los Noches. By doing this Noitora hoped that it would allow him more time to become stronger than Nel when she finally returned. However the scar that he gave her made her reversed into a child, ruining Noitora's plan to prove his strength.

He despises being taken pity on and wishes to prove that he is the strongest of the espadas and will take advantage of any weakness to achieve this.

"We are insects
Worms crawling underneath nonvolatile spite
I lift my head up, higher even than the moon
until I can’t see you merciful bastards anymore"
