Yoruichi was never really a comic relief character though. Even as a cat Yoruichi was always portrayed as this weird creature that seemed to know as much about spirit things as Urahara and having a large amount of spiritual power. It was obvious right away that Yoru was some kind of secret badass.

Nel is more like Kon. A nonstop parade of annoying sounds and uselessness.

Probably the same way Wonderweice the special ed arrancar came about. Aizen not being picky.
