Character outline

Grimmjow has light blue hair and eyes, which have blue/green lines below them similar to the eye markings on the Panthera genus of cats as well as the red marks on Ikkaku Madarame's eyes. Grimmjow's attire consists of a white hakama and a black sash; his white jacket is ragged with an upturned collar. The inner lining is black, the sleeves are rolled up, and Grimmjow wears it open, leaving his chest revealed. The remains of his hollow mask consist of the right jawbone, and his hollow hole has moved to his abdomen. Ikkaku Madarame ) is a character in the manga and anime series Bleach. ...

Grimmjow appears to be a laid back and irreverent individual at first glance, but this scruffy exterior hides an impulsive, excessively violent personality and a lethally short temper. Grimmjow is blunt, rude, and quite sadistic, revealing a psychotic grin whenever he becomes excited, much like Kenpachi Zaraki. Grimmjow has 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 the same low regard as he did Zaraki. He also has conflicts with Ulquiorra Schiffer, the 4th Espada, usually because Ulquiorra interrupts his battles or doesn't act on his own impulses. He has also developed a grudge against Ichigo Kurosaki for wounding him during their first and second fights, and is eager to return the favor. He purposefully kept the large scar on his chest from their first battle as a reminder of this.^[4] Kenpachi Zaraki  ) is a fictional character and supporting anti-hero in the anime and manga series Bleach created by Tite Kubo. ...

Grimmjow is the sixth Espada in Sōsuke Aizen's army of arrancar, meaning he is ranked sixth in terms of strength. Grimmjow was the first character to be revealed as an Espada in the series. A crooked number 6 is tattooed on his back just above and to the right of his hollow hole. Aizen personally marks the Espada, the ten most powerful of his arrancar, with such tattoos as visible marks of their rank and ability. After Kaname Tōsen cuts off and burns his arm, Grimmjow is demoted and quickly replaced by Luppi, much to his annoyance. After Orihime Inoue heals his arm, he brutally butchers Luppi to regain his rank, impaling him on his newly restored arm and then vaporizing Luppi's torso with a cero blast. Aizen redirects here. ...

Grimmjow is a very rude and disrespectful character. He uses none of the honorifics in the Japanese language, except when addressing Aizen (though he is quick to discard the formality when Aizen is not around), and refers to Orihime as woman in conversation. However, he does appear to have some sort of a code of honor, as he is unwilling to fight an injured Ichigo, bringing Orihime to heal him beforehand so their battle will be a fair one. He also saves Orihime from two female arrancar beating her to repay the debt of restoring his arm, though he does ask another favor from her in return (which was to heal Ichigo so that they can fight on equal ground). Despite his aggression and obvious bloodlust in battle he possesses a feral cunning and has a knack for quickly exploiting any opening his opponent reveals.

Grimmjow's character design draws heavily from Gamma Akutabi, a character in Tite Kubo's earlier manga, Zombie Powder. Gamma has prosthetics in the same area where Grimmjow has his remnant hollow mask. They both share a missing arm, although both on different sides. Grimmjow's released form makes the resemblance even more apparent with similar long spiky hair. The two have also been identically posed for volume covers. Serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump Original run 1999 – 2000 Volumes 4 with 27 chapters Zombie Powder ) is an unfinished manga and the first work of Tite Kubo, author of the popular series Bleach. ...

History

Grimmjow as an adjuchas-class menos.

Before Grimmjow became an arrancar, he was a panther-like adjuchas-class menos. At one point, he met up with Shawlong Koufang, Edrad Liones, Yylfordt Granz, Nakeem, and Di Roy while attacking the latter. Shawlong suggested that Grimmjow lead their group in their quest to evolve into vasto lordes, offering to follow him as their "king" should he accept. When Shawlong realized that their evolution could go no further, he asked Grimmjow to 'devour' them. In the world of adjuchas and vasto lordes, this refers to consuming even a part of the body of another menos, upon which the former gains its powers and the latter loses all chance of further evolution. Shawlong and the others realise this but insist anyway, claiming that they had reached their limit, but he was meant to go beyond them. Grimmjow, calling them cowards, eventually does eat parts of each of them. When they are all arrancarized by Aizen, the five act as Grimmjow's Fraccion. They are all killed in battle when he leads them in an invasion of Karakura town. Image File history File links Metadata No higher resolution available. ...

Synopsis

Grimmjow is first introduced scolding Ulquiorra Schiffer for not killing Ichigo Kurosaki, and, to rectify Ulquiorra's "mistake", leads his Fracción to Karakura Town in an unauthorized mission to kill anyone with even the slightest spiritual pressure. While his team is defeated, Grimmjow himself is able to defeat Ichigo with relative ease, only suffering injury from Ichigo's desperate getsuga tenshō attack. Kaname Tōsen interrupts and brings Grimmjow back to be punished; since Aizen refuses, Kaname severs and incinerates Grimmjow's arm so he'll be demoted.

During the next invasion, which Aizen personally sends Grimmjow on, Grimmjow tracks down and fights Ichigo once more. Ichigo's newly-gained vizard powers give him the upper hand at first, but his inexperience leads to his defeat. Shinji Hirako arrives to rescue him, proving more than a match for the injured Grimmjow. Before Grimmjow releases his true form, Grimmjow is forced into retreat by Ulquiorra before a victor can be decided. For the Australian businessman and entertainer, see Steve Vizard. ...

Abilities

Grimmjow after releasing his zanpakutō.

Grimmjow is the Sexta Espada, making him the sixth most powerful arrancar under Aizen's control. Aside from his zanpakutō, he has demonstrated no unique personal abilities, but makes liberal use of the generic hollow abilities, such as cero, which he fires from his palm, when in combat. As an Espada, he is able to use the Espada-exclusive attack, Gran Rey Cero, which produces a larger and more powerful version of the normal cero.

Pantera

The name of Grimmjow's zanpakutō is Pantera (豹王（パンテラ）, Pantera^? Spanish for "panther," Japanese for "panther king").^[5] His zanpakutō's tsuba resembles a crooked "S", while the sheath and handle are light blue. The release command for his zanpakutō is "grind" (軋れ, kishire^?, referring to grinding one's teeth).^[6] Shikai redirects here. ... A typical tsuba The angle of the sabre in shodan no kamae is determined by the tsuba and the curvature of the blade (shinai are stright, but real weapons are curved) Wikimedia Commons has media related to: tsuba The tsuba (鍔) is a round guard at the end of the grip...

After releasing his zanpakutō, Grimmjow's appearance becomes feline and predatory, taking on features such as jagged teeth, clawed hands, paws for feet, and a tail that can be used as a powerful whip.^[7] His hair becomes long and flowing, and his eye markings enlarge, extending to the tips of his ears, which also become cat-like. He loses his trademark jaw mask, which is replaced by a sort of crown on his forehead. His clothing changes to a form-fitting white outfit covered in stripes, similar to his original hollow form.

Aside from his already impressive speed and power, Grimmjow's released state augments his speed drastically and gives him animal-like agility and movements to match. When released, he can roar loudly enough to create shockwaves in the air. He can also fire a large number of "darts" from his elbows with enough force to demolish large buildings, as well as creating long energy claws called Desgarrón (豹王の爪（デスガロン）, desugaron^?, Japanese, "panther king's claw"; Spanish, "laceration") from his fingertips.
