Character

While appearing to be a laid-back individual, Grimmjow possesses a brutal, impulsive, and excessively violent personality alongside a lethally short temper. However, despite his aggression and obvious blood lust in battle, Grimmjow possesses a feral cunning and has a knack for quickly exploiting any opening his opponent reveals.[9][10] In addition, he is blunt, sarcastic and quite sadistic, revealing a psychotic grin[11][12][13] or laughing maniacally whenever he becomes excited.[14][15] He is also very rude and quite disrespectful. Grimmjow uses none of the honorifics in the Japanese language, except when addressing Aizen[16] (though he is quick to discard the formality when Aizen is not around),[17] and refers to {{user}} Inoue as woman in conversation.[18] Grimmjow displays little respect for authority and says whatever is on his mind, regardless of whether or not it is appropriate. This attitude leads to conflicts with Kaname Tōsen, who holds Grimmjow in low regard. He also has conflicts with Ulquiorra Cifer, the 4th Espada, when Ulquiorra interrupts his battles or otherwise clashes with Grimmjow's ideals. Grimmjow confidently believes Ulquiorra's powers to be weaker than his, a point he is eager to prove. He develops an additional grudge against Ichigo Kurosaki for wounding him during their first two battles and is eager to return the favor. He intentionally kept the large scar on his chest from their first battle as a reminder of this.[19] Grimmjow is also infuriated by Ichigo's belief that he can defeat him regardless of how badly he is injured, which Grimmjow sees as Ichigo looking down on him.[20] However, despite his grudge against Ichigo, he has enough common sense to put his rivalry on hold when faced with a common enemy that threatens everything.[21] However, he does have his own morals for fighting, as he is unwilling to fight an injured Ichigo.

History

Before Grimmjow became an Arrancar, he was a panther-like Adjuchas-class Menos. At one point he came across a group of Adjuchas-class Menos that included Shawlong Koufang, Edrad Liones, Yylfordt Granz, Nakeem Grindina, and Di Roy Rinker. Di Roy decided to eat him, but before Di Roy could act, Grimmjow attacked him and ate a chunk of Di Roy's head. The group was impressed at his strength, and they introduced themselves. Their leader Shawlong asked that Grimmjow join them, and the group bowed to him. Shawlong then explained that they have no intention of remaining Adjuchas or Gillians, vowing to become Vasto Lorde, but in order to do that they needed strength that they can use to pull themselves up. They had seen that strength in Grimmjow and Shawlong asked that Grimmjow lead them as their king. Sometime later, Shawlong told Grimmjow that the group has given up. Yylfordt explained that they have given up in their quest to evolve into Vasto Lorde. They had eaten over one thousand Hollows and haven't felt their power increase anymore. As of that day, they had eaten three thousand so they knew for certain to continue on would be pointless. Grimmjow told them that if they wanted to give up then it was fine, but he would have nothing to do with it. Shawlong then asked Grimmjow if he would eat them and noted that since Grimmjow had already taken a piece of Di Roy, he would never evolve into a Vasto Lorde and that in conjunction their evolution would end where it was at as well. Grimmjow called them cowards, but Shawlong interrupted him and explained that they have become enlightened. It was not only to the fact that they would never become Vasto Lorde, but it was something they knew even before becoming Hollows. They knew that they would always only be Adjuchas and that Grimmjow would have been the only one to evolve beyond that stage.

Power and abilities.

Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Grimmjow is a very proficient hand-to-hand combatant, using it as his primary means of attack. He is equally lethal using punches and kicks, and is highly unpredictable. His fighting technique is incredibly destructive, using his speed and reflexes to quickly take out his opponents. He is skilled enough to hold his own against stronger opponents for short amounts of time.[73][74][75] Expert Swordsman: Although he usually prefers hand-to-hand combat, Grimmjow is also able to fight effectively with his Zanpakutō. He could hold his own against Ichigo, who at the time was using Bankai and his Hollow mask, when he only had one arm.[76] He is also able to hold his own against Shinji Hirako, while Shinji is wearing his Hollow mask.[77][78] In his third fight and with both arms, Grimmjow was able to fight on par with Ichigo in battle.[79] Grimmjow's skill instantly bisected the Sternritter Quilge Opie, cutting through the Quincy's Vollständig-enhanced Blut Vene before he could react.[58] Pesquisa (探査神経ペスキス, Pesukisu; Spanish for "Inquiry", Japanese for "Investigative Nerves"): Grimmjow demonstrated this ability when he and his Fracción invaded Karakura Town. He is able to detect targets from a considerable distance.[80] Hierro (鋼皮イエロ, Iero; Spanish for "Iron", Japanese for "Steel Skin";Viz "Iron Skin"): Grimmjow's Hierro is strong enough to effortlessly block the sharp edge of a released Shikai blade with his bare hand,[81] later showing the density of his skin by being able to grab Ichigo's Bankai blade and receiving no damage.[82] Grimmjow was able to survive a pointblank Getsuga Tenshō (though emerging with grievous injuries)[83] and immediately afterwards withstands being frozen by Rukia's Shikai, noting that simply freezing the top layer of his skin isn't enough to kill him.[84] Enhanced Strength: Grimmjow is able to push back Ichigo with little effort[85] and throw Ichigo a considerable distance.[86]

Power and abilities.

His kicks are strong enough to send an opponent flying and destroy several buildings in the surrounding area.[87][88] He is capable of wreaking powerful havoc simply by attacking with his hand,[89] having impaled Luppi Antenor, his Espada replacement, through the chest with his bare hand relatively easily despite Luppi's Hierro.[90] Enhanced Durability: Grimmjow has proven himself to be a very durable fighter, as he took a Bankai-enhanced Getsuga Tenshō from Ichigo and only sustained a scar on his chest.[91] Later, despite having only one arm, he was able to take 2 direct hits from Ichigo in his Hollow-enhanced state and emerged with only minor injuries and continued fighting.[92] Great Spiritual Power: Grimmjow possesses a great deal of spiritual energy. Rukia described it as "worlds apart" from his Fracción and wondered if he was even the same species.[93] His Reiatsu is blue.[94] Highly Perceptive Combatant: Grimmjow was able to discern from simple observation, during his first fight with Ichigo, that his Bankai-enhanced Getsuga Tenshō was damaging his body. He also notes that Ichigo was capable of 2 to 3 more of those attacks at best.[95] Upon his second fight with Ichigo, he makes note that Ichigo was straining to use his Hollowfication because of how his breathing instantly became heavier as soon as his mask came off.[96] However, he notes that it may not be so simple as that, denoting that it may have something to do with him having taken so much damage, losing too much spiritual energy, or that it has a limit to the amount of time he can use it.[97] Upon his third fight with Ichigo, he notes that he extended the amount of time he can stay in his masked state.[98]

Power and abilities.

Cero (虚閃セロ, Sero; Spanish for "Zero", Japanese for "Hollow Flash"; Viz "Doom Blast"): Grimmjow is capable of firing a red Cero from the palm of his hand[99][100] or fist,[101] even at the same time.[102] He can fire it at point-blank range to increase its lethality, to the point that he incinerates the top half of Luppi after regaining his arm and rank.[103] His Cero is powerful enough to neutralize the Cero of fellow Espada Ulquiorra Cifer during their brief scuffle, though it badly burned his right arm from his hand to his elbow.[104] Gran Rey Cero (王虚の閃光グラン・レイ・セロ, Guran Rei Sero; Spanish for "Grand King Zero", Japanese for "King Hollow Flash"): As an Espada, he is able to use this Espada-exclusive Cero variant, which produces a much larger and more powerful version of the normal Cero. This Cero is strong enough to potentially cause great damage to Las Noches itself. For this reason, Aizen banned its use inside the fortress, although Grimmjow clearly ignored this during his last battle with Ichigo. In order to fire it, Grimmjow first cuts his own hand on his Zanpakutō, mixing his blood with the Cero as a catalyst. Grimmjow's Gran Rey Cero is colored blue.[105] Descorrer (解空デスコレール, Desukorēru; Spanish for "Drawing Back/Opening", Japanese for "Loosed Void"):[106] A technique used by Espada-level Arrancar, and sometimes others, to open a Garganta between the Human World and Hueco Mundo. Grimmjow demonstrated this ability during his own personal invasion of Karakura Town. Sonído Master: As the 6th Espada, Grimmjow is very proficient in the use of Sonído. Even in his unreleased state, he is able to keep up with Ichigo Kurosaki while in Bankai. Initially, Grimmjow could even surprise and overwhelm Ichigo with his speed.

His weapon.

Zanpakutō Pantera (豹王パンテラ, Pantera; Spanish for "Panther", Japanese for "Panther/Leopard King"): His Zanpakutō's tsuba resembles a rigid, crooked "S," while the sheath and handle are light blue.[112] Partial Transformation: Grimmjow can, at will, change the appearance of his hands to that of his released state, used to try to hunt Askin Nakk Le Vaar when he entered the Soul King Palace. Resurrección: His release command for his Zanpakutō is "Grind" (軋れ, kishire), referring to grinding one's teeth. To release his Zanpakutō, he holds it up, like the start of a low sweep stroke, with his right hand. The sword glows light blue as he puts his left hand up to it. He then rakes his hand along the length of the blade with a swift motion, while calling out its release command, which in turn releases a torrent of spiritual power that creates tremendous gusts of wind in the immediate vicinity. Grimmjow's appearance changes drastically to something more feline and predatory. His teeth become jagged and sharp, his hands turn into black claws and his feet become black clawed paws, similar to that of a cat, along with a slender whip-like tail that's longer than his body. His hair becomes very long and flowing, and the markings around his eyes enlarge and extend to the tips of his ears, which become swept back and cat-like. He loses his distinctive jaw mask, which is replaced by a sort of an headgear upon his brow covering his forehead. His clothing changes to become form-fitting white segmented armor, similar to his original Adjuchas-Hollow form. He has blades protruding from his forearms and his calves.[114][115] Resurrección Special Ability: His abilities while released include:Enhanced Hierro: Grimmjow's Hierro receives an augmentation, allowing him to withstand a point-blank Getsuga Tenshō from Ichigo Kurosaki with his mask on without receiving any physical damage.

Enhanced Speed & Agility: Complimenting his already impressive speed and power, Grimmjow's released state increases his speed drastically, giving him animalistic agility and movement to match his feline form. He is able to keep up with the masked-enhanced Bankai of Ichigo. Enhanced Strength: His strikes pack enough power to accidentally destroy large skyscraper-sized pillars in Las Noches via collateral damage during the fight with Ichigo. He was also able to send Ichigo through several buildings with one strike, as well as send him flying hundreds of feet with a few light punches and kicks.[117] Sonic Wave: When in his released form, he can roar loudly enough to create sonic waves in the air and surrounding area, which are powerful enough to throw off his opponents. Garra de la Pantera (豹鉤ガラ・デ・ラ・パンテラ, Gara de ra Pantera; Spanish for "Claw of the Panther", Japanese for "Panther/Leopard Hook(s)"): Acutely shaped bombs fired at high speed from his elbow, five of which can be fired at once. They have a devastating effect. One round can destroy a column over 30 meters in diameter.[119] They take the appearance of dark green, crystalline, unevenly cut stone darts. A Hollow mask-enhanced Ichigo was somewhat able to withstand 5 of them and continue fighting. Desgarrón (豹王の爪デスガロン, Desugaron; Spanish for "Laceration/Great Tear", Japanese for "Panther/Leopard King's Claw"): Claimed by Grimmjow himself to be his strongest attack.[121] His claws glow, and he makes a slashing motion. Each claw becomes a long, sharp blade composed of Reishi that can be hurled at the enemy. He can swing a maximum of ten blades at the enemy.[119] The attacks act as a ranged claw attack, which he controls like his regular claw attacks, by using slashing motions. The power and force behind them is considerable, and Ichigo was only able to deflect and shatter them through sheer force of will.

Organization Headquarters Las Noches, Hueco Mundo Affiliation Sōsuke Aizen's Arrancar Army Purpose High-ranking members in Sōsuke Aizen's Arrancar Army. The Espada are comprised of ten Arrancars with exemplary strength. Members of the Espada are given a number from 0-9. The lower the number, the more Reiryoku the Espada has. Each Espada bears a tattoo displaying their number, placed on a distinct part of their body. For example, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez has his tattoo on his lower back, while Coyote Starrk's is located on the back of his left hand. Along with Sōsuke Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, and Kaname Tōsen, the Espada as a group possess comparable strength to Soul Society's Gotei 13 Shinigami captains. Their immense amount of power and leadership status among the Arrancars also grant each Espada the authority to exert command over Aizen's other forces within Las Noches: the Números, the Exequias, and their own Fracción, chosen by them from the Números. Similar to the power gap between captains and lieutenants in the Gotei 13, the strength of the Espada far surpasses that of the average Número. Aizen himself is confident enough in his Espada's abilities to send them out on potentially hazardous missions, such as gathering information in the Human World, fighting Shinigami captains inside Las Noches and Karakura Town by themselves, and searching for Vasto Lorde. Being Aizen's most direct subordinates (aside from Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen), the Espada are privy to several of Aizen's plans and most intimate secrets, such as his goals of destroying Karakura Town and creating the Ōken, and the location of the Hōgyoku within Las Noches.[12] Aizen's respect for the Espada's abilities is reflected in his manner of addressing them, often referring to them as "my dear Espada"[13] and sitting at the head of the same table with them while discussing the events around Hueco Mundo.

Espada and History

The creation of the Espada has long been one of Sōsuke Aizen's most important preoccupations. The original Espada were already in existence sometime before Aizen's defection from Soul Society and acquisition of the Hōgyoku. Since then, the composition of the Espada has changed.[32] At some point in the past, Nnoitra Gilga was the Octava Espada[33] Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck was the Tres Espada[34] and Szayelaporro was a former Espada.[35] During this time, Aizen frequently sent the Espada out to search for Vasto Lorde-class Menos.[36] Before his death, Aaroniero Arruruerie was the sole member of the current Espada who was also part of the first-generation Espada.[37] He was also the only Arrancar from Gillian-class Menos stock to attain a position among the Espada.[38] Most of the Espada were Vasto Lorde.[39]
