On Season 10, when Nnoitra thinks back to when he fought Nel last time (when
he broke her mask), he got her to fight by hurting Pesche and Dondochakka.
Seeing them, Nel said that Nnoitra had ripped off their masks. However, Pesche
and Dondochakka are Fracción and thus Arrancar, so their masks have already
been removed.

Can Arrancar not fully removed their masks? If not, then how is Nnoitra
ripping off Pesche's and Dondochakka's so bad that it was enough to bait Nel
into a fight?

Can Arrancar never fully remove their masks?


In Bleach, when a Whole becomes a Hollow their heart leaves their chest
(forming a hole) and transforms into their mask. (Chapter 433)

The powers that a hollow develops and very body arise from the mask.

If the mask is removed, it would logically follow that the Arrancar would lose
all of their power. We know that removing the mask from a normal hollow forces
them to temporarily revert to their form as a Whole (the Ichigo vs Orihime's
brother arc).

While we can't be sure this would happen to an Arrancar, the fact is that
stripping an Arrancar's mask would strip away their very identity as an
person. It's a horribly cruel thing to do, even for someone like Nnoitora or
Syazel Aporro.
