I definitely felt there was a connection between them before he died, the way he looked at her and the intensity between them. Not necessarily romantic or lustful ofc but more like understanding each other, some kind of deep resonance, a bond between souls.
She unironically had better chemistry with him and they complimented each other more imo. I feel she would have better Ulquoirra, helped humanise him and make him a more rounded "person". I think there would have been a really interesting dynamic, potential and thus growth between them.
Lmaooooo, people shipping Grimm and Nel just because he told her to back off from his fight with his BFF Ichigo?:

I've heard of shippers shipping people just from looking at each other and crack ships do exist too ofc.
