History Sandbox / BleachGrimmjowwJaegerjaquez

* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: ''Literature/BleachCannotFearYourOwnWorld'' reveals that he gained some resistance to poison after surviving his fight with Askin, who had the ability to make everything poisonous by lowering the lethal dose.
* AmazonChaser: He constantly argues with Nelliel when she disciplines him when he acts his usual reckless self either with her words or violence. Surprisingly, not only does Grimmjow show amazing tolerance towards her behaviour, but he seems to like the fact that, unlike Harribel who would rather not antagonize Grimmjow, Nelliel actually has the guts to stand up to him despite his vast improvement in becoming a Vasto Lorde Arrancar like her.
* AnimalMotifs: As an Adjuchas he strongly resembled a [[PantheraAwesome panther]], and his Resurrección, Pantera, gives him a number of feline traits. It's befitting of his wild, vicious nature.

* AntiHero: Hero is a bit of a stretch, but Grimmjow does ally with Ichigo's group for the final battle, and while still violent and merceless towards his enemies, he still follows a code of honor and fights to ensure the safety of Hueco Mundo. Unlike Nelliel who genuinely considers Ichigo and his friends as allies, Grimmjow considers them as enemies due to their rivalry.
* AxCrazy: Grimmjow is a proud BloodKnight who is obsessed with combat, and the aspect of death he embodies is Destruction. He leads his Fraccion into the Human World to kill every person with Reiatsu no matter how little. When he fights Ichigo for the first time, he beats him to a pulp all whilst laughing maniacally. When he regrains his arm and Espada status, the first thing he does is stab his arm through his temporary replacement Luppi's chest, and blasting his upper body away with a Cero, all with a SlasherSmile on his face. When Ichigo is almost killed by Ulquiorra, Grimmjow rescues Orihime from Loly and Menoly, savagely mauling the two while doing so, just to use her to heal Ichigo so he can have his death match with him. Even when fighting alongside the Soul Reapers against the Vandenreich, he claims he is only doing so to have another shot at fighting Ichigo to the death in Hueco Mundo.

* BenevolentBoss: Even though he showed little concern over their deaths, unlike most of the Espadas, Grimmjow was very cordial and friendly to his Fraccion, never abusing any of them and treated them with respect.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: His Resurrección gives him two curved blades that jut out from his forearms, just below his elbows.
* BlatantLies: Grimmjow defies Aizen's orders and secretly travels to the human world in an attempt to confront Ichigo and find out how strong he is in combat. Their fight ends when Tosen arrives to drag Grimmjow back to Aizen for punishment. The next time Ichigo and Grimmjow meet, Grimmjow is missing an arm. Aizen's punishment was to permit Tosen to destroy Grimmjow's arm, demoting him from the ranks of the Espada in the process. When Ichigo asks Grimmjow what happened to his arm, Grimmjow retorts that he cut it off himself because he doesn't need two arms to beat Ichigo. Ichigo doesn't seem fooled by that answer but goes along with it. His return has him stating the only reason he's helping Ichigo is at the chance of fighting him again to ensure Hueco Mundo is safe for a rematch. Ichigo smirk at him hints he's aware Grimmjow is far too proud to admit it, but it could also be due to his own way of thanking him for saving his life from Nnoitra.

* CharacterDevelopment: Aside from Ulquiorra, Grimmjow is the only other Espada that grows as a character. His return in the final arc shows he's mellowed out somewhat from his loss to Ichigo and seemingly took it to heart about being a king. While still the same ruthless self, he's calmer and more willing to compromise with others and work alongside Ichigo and his friends against a much greater threat and surprisingly more civil around Nelliel upon her return to her adult form, something his old self would have never done.

* TheComicallySerious: He is capable of being this on some level especially upon his return in the final arc seemingly having learned from his loss against Ichigo, getting into a childish argument with Nelliel at times and snapping in a funny manner when Ichigo made fun of him for letting Askin get away. More notable is his deadpan look when Askin asks him who Ichigo is to him that Grimmjow just gives a shocking, yet funny, face fault and flat-out says he considers Ichigo his "sworn enemy".

* DisproportionateRetribution: Develops a major vendetta against Ichigo. Why? Ichigo wounded him bad enough to leave a scar while fighting back after Grimmjow had just spent about ten minutes beating the holy living hell out of Ichigo. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Oh, and Ichigo's self-confidence irritates him.]]

* DoesNotKnowHowToSayThanks: Because of his pride and odd form of honor, Grimmjow never actually says thanks to anyone for anything, but is more to show it through actions. As When Orihime healed his arm, he personally saved her from Loly and Menoly as his own way to say thanks. In the final arc, despite claiming he's only helping Ichigo to get a rematch with him, it's strongly implied it's really because, despite his rivalry with him, Grimmjow wants to repay him for saving his life from Nnoitra years ago and agreed to help stop Yhwach from destroying everything as a way to thank him in his own way.

* TheDreaded: In ''Literature/BleachCannotFearYourOwnWorld'', it's noted that while Tier Harribel and and Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck -- both of whom once held the #3 rank in the Espada -- are the ''de facto'' rulers of Hueco Mundo, they don't openly refer to themselves as such to avoid antagonizing Grimmjow due to him having become exponentially more powerful once he became a Vasto Lorde.
* EnergyWeapon: His ultimate attack, Desgarrón, produces ten gigantic claws made of spirit energy that he can launch at his enemies with absolutely devastating force.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes:
** He knew his Fraccion for a long time and were quite close to them. Despite this, he showed little concern over their deaths (which were primarily his fault to begin with). Despite this, upon the end of his final fight with Ichigo shows he actually took their words to heart about him being destined to be king and did care for them more than he thought.
** Zigzagged with Nelliel and Harribel. Grimmjow usually acts his same cold and distant behavior but does acknowledge their strengths as fellow Espada. He almost never argues with Harribel and is content with her ruling Hueco Mundo, while he nearly butts heads with Nelliel all the time on what needs to get done and the two fight LikeAnOldMarriedCouple even when they try to act peaceful. Despite this, while he refuses to work with them out of his own pride, he will help them if the situation calls for it -- showing that for all his flaws, he does care for them in his own way.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** While he'd gladly kill his own allies in order to recover a lost rank, Grimmjow, unlike most Arrancar's or even Espadas, follows his own form of code of honor. If he feels he is in debt to someone, he will go out of his way to repay it; he rescues Orihime, who had healed his arm prior, from two Arrancar girls who had been torturing her as a way to thank her.
** Grimmjow has no qualms in brutalizing his enemies, but even a BloodKnight like himself draws the line at beating up or even bullying someone out of spite who never did anything to deserve it. When he went to rescue Orihime from Loly and Menoly as a way to thank her for healing his arm and sees them having badly beaten her black and blue out of pure jealousy and spite, Grimmjow was ''disgusted'' by their spiteful abuse of her. Once he's rescued her, he insists she heal her own injuries before he forces her to carry out his wishes because he doesn't feel comfortable taking her with such serious injuries and because he doens't want to look like he's the one who hurt her.
** While he wants to fight Ichigo in a fight to death, he wants to do it fairly. As Grimmjow is unwilling to fight him injured and brings Orihime to heal him so that their fight be a fair one. During his third fight with Ichigo, Grimmjow agrees to move elsewhere so that Orihime and Nel do not get caught up in the battle.
** As ruthless as Grimmjow is, even he finds Nnoitra's excessive sadism and behavior towards those already defeated to be in poor taste.
** As shown in ''Can't Fear Your Own World'' when Grimmjow goes on his own to kill Hikone for attacking his home, he does so not out of evil intentions, but to protect his home. While Nelliel is worried, he may ruin the peace treaty between them and Soul Society, Rudbornn, Harribel and even Urahara vouch that Grimmjow has a violent savage feral like nature but is a reasonable man who does not make stupid choices to put the lives of the people who live in Hueco Mundo in danger and only did so out of a genuine desire, in his own way, to protect his home and fellow Hollows.

* EvilIsPetty: He easily won his first fight with Ichigo, gleefully beating him to a bloody pulp the entire time, with Ichigo only managing to induce a single burn on his chest with what was honestly a lucky shot. Yet Grimmjow has the sheer gall to say ''he'' got humiliated that day.
* FacialMarkings: Has light blue lines below his eyes, similar to the eye markings on the ''Panthera'' genus of cats.

* FatalFlaw: Ichigo. As ever since their first fight, which Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshou left a scar on Grimmjow's chest, he has been obsessed with getting revenge on Ichigo and wishes to crush him, but only at full strength on equal terms. Even after he finally gets his rematch in Hueco Mundo, Grimmjow is unable to let it go. To that end he agrees to ally with Ichigo and his friends but solely to ensure a rematch, not even caring about his fellow Arrancars or home to the point of an obsession. This single-minded trait has also caused him a humilating defeat at the hands of Askin Nakk Le Varr that, has Urahara healed him, he would have died.
* FriendlyEnemy: Well... as "friendly" as someone as ludicrously violent as Grimmjow can be. Grimmjow's single-minded goal in life is to tear Ichigo into pieces. But alas, he can't do that when there's bad guys left and right causing all sorts of trouble and mayhem for Ichigo and his friends. As a result, he makes it a point to be an ally to Ichigo and protect those close to him, at least until the dust settles. He also was genuinely disgusted that Loly and Menoly went out of their way to abuse Orihime, who is a non-combatant and hadn't even done anything to deserve it, dealing out violent retribution to them both before demanding Orihime fix her injuries before he took her to heal Ichigo. There's also the fact that he's extremely sporting about his potential rematch, going out of his way to make sure Ichigo is fully healed and at full strength before they fight. For the most part, Ichigo reciprocates this weird relationship. Played somewhat (if only slightly) better during his return as he does become a tentative ally during the fight against Yhwach and does work along them against the Quincies.

* HonorBeforeReason: As obsessed as Grimmjow is in fighting Ichigo to the death, he nonetheless is very sporting in his rematch with him, refusing to fight him (or anyone for that matter) when he's unable to fight back or is wounded and personally brought Orihime to heal him so their fight would be a fair one.
* {{Hunk}}: Easily stands out as one of the most handsome characters, with a handsome face and the muscular figure to boot with a lot of female fans fawning over him.
* IdiotBall: While he's chasing Askin in the final arc, the Sternritter suddenly throws a Gift Ball at him. Rather than avoid the strange attack entirely, he chooses to swipe at it with his arm, getting poisoned and put out of action for quite some time. Askin compares this to a child not learning to be cautious of gifts from strangers.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Heavily implied his vendetta against Ichigo stems not just from the way he looks at him every time he beats him down and looks at him like he's gonna win, but also due to his Fraccion always telling him he was destined to be king. As this gave Grimmjow something of an ego making him think he was king and following the death of his Fraccion, it's implied Grimmjow wants their deaths to mean something which is why he's so obsessed with fighting Ichigo as to prove he's worthy of the title.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: He tends to do this ''a lot''.
** He incinerated Luppi with a Cero to regain his rank. Considering Luppi was a SmugSnake who came close to killing some of Hitsugaya's Advance Squad, made some creepy comments towards Rangiku and tried to stab her breasts and rubbed the loss of Grimmjow's rank in his face, he really had it coming.
** He attacks Loly and Menoly when they snuck into Orihime's room and proceeded to beat the ever-loving shit out of Orihime [[DisproportionateRetribution because they thought Aizen was showing favor to her.]] Grimmjow comes in and claims to have business with Orihime. Loly insults Grimmjow, who knocks her flying across the room. When Menoly charges him with a cero, Grimmjow effortlessly catches her hand, returns fire and obliterates Menoly's upper body. Loly then starts screaming that Aizen will kill him, to which Grimmjow responds by grabbing Loly's leg, ripping it off, and then stomping on her face to shut her up. Considering Loly threatened to gouge Orihime's eyes out, dragged her around by her hair and implied she wanted to permanently ruin her face, both her and Menoly got what they deserved.
** When Quilge tried to finish off Urahara and co. off after Ichigo left, Grimmjow appeared from behind and cleaved him in half with his sword. Given how much of a sadistic bastard of a BadBoss he was to his men, or anyone for that matter, no tears were shed upon his UndignifiedDeath.
** In the final arc, he stabs Askin through the back and rips his heart out. Given how he toyed with his enemies and was willing to help destroy the world, it's hard to feel sorry for him.

* LackOfEmpathy: While he is not without a code of honor, for the most part, Grimmjow doesn't have much regard for other people. The only time he shows even the slightest concern is in regard to his Fraccions, all of whom were killed under his watch. Even then, he didn't really care; it was more surprise that they lost than anything else. Another case comes in how he wanted Orihime to revive Ichigo... just so he could kill him anyway. There's also his obsession towards fighting Ichigo again, trying to start a fight with him the moment he meets him again during the final arc, not even caring about the fate of the world in favor of his potential rematch.

** He loses his final fight with Ichigo and acts like a total SoreLoser from his loss. After that Nniotra blindsides him and tries to kill him, resulting in Ichigo having to protect the wounded Grimmjow.
** In the final arc, Grimmjow does help Urahara defeat Askin, it ends without Grimmjow never getting his rematch with Ichigo, forever scaring his pride more than it was.

* LeftForDead: Nobody seemed to care to check up on him. [[JustifiedTrope Although]] Ichigo ''was'' preoccupied with Nnoitra, Nelliel, Kenpachi, Aizen unveiling his plan before leaving to Karakura, and Starrk taking Orihime to notice much else.

* MakeMeWannaShout: Upon entering his Resurrección state, the first thing he does is let out a roar that produces gale-force winds and staggers Ichigo from dozens of meters away.

* MotiveDecay: Initially, Grimmjow wanted to be the King of Hueco Mundo and joined Aizen for the purpose of growing stronger. When he first fights Ichigo he is only there to eliminate a threat to what he considers his future kingdom, but as the series goes on and Ichigo grows more powerful, Grimmjow becomes obsessed with beating him to the point where he only cares about saving Hueco Mundo from Yhwach because it's where he wants to kill Ichigo, though it's possible he merely intends to be King after dealing with a persistent annoyance, or he saw what such lofty ambitions land you with after Aizen was defeated and imprisoned and abandoned his plans.

* NobleDemon: He is certainly ruthless in battle and has no qualms over killing those weaker than he is (it's a dog-eat-dog world in Hueco Mundo after all). But his sense of honor shows in his desire to only fight opponents at their best, going so far as to bring Orihime to heal his rival Ichigo so that their fight would be a fair one, even if he has to trap a fellow Espada to do it. He shows disgust at Loly and Menoly for assaulting Orihime for no real reason and tells Orihime to heal her wounds first before they head out to heal Ichigo.

* OmnicidalManiac: Grimmjow's aspect of death is "Destruction", in large part because his bloodlust and his desire for destruction was what turned him into a Hollow when he was still a Plus and is the only thing that can satiate the emptiness in his heart that all Hollows have. He only lives to cause wanton destruction and will stop at nothing to satisfy his desires. In ''Literature/BleachCannotFearYourOwnWorld'', when Tokinada Tsunayashiro reveals his plan to reveal the existence of Soul Society to the real world, so that society will collapse into chaos and anarchy, Grimmjow is the only one not appalled by Tokinada (even Luppi, who has the same aspect of death, [[EvenEvilHasStandards was disgusted]] by Tokinada). For Grimmjow, this would only give him the opportunity to cause more destruction. He admits that he would have joined Tokinada and his world if they didn't already happen to be enemies on opposite sides.

* ItsPersonal: How he feels towards his rivalry with Ichigo. He can't stand his eyes, that no matter how many times he looks at him, he looks like he's going to win no matter how many times Grimmjow beats him down. To that end, Grimmjow deliberately leaves the scar on his chest as a reminder of their first encounter and, since his lost towards Ichigo, makes it his goal to get a rematch against him.

** He personally goes out of his way to save Orihime from being abused (and possibly killed) by Loly and Menoly as his way of thanking her for restoring his left arm and shows disgust towards the duo's spiteful abuse of her.
** After rescuing her from Loly and Menoly, he was considerate of Orihime's wounds and insisted she heal her own injuries before he took her to revive Ichigo due to not wanting to take her so wounded and that he didn't want others to think he did it.
** While he did snap at Nel for crying and threatened to hurt her if she didn't stop crying, Grimmjow did inform her Ichigo would survive since he knows Orihime can save him. Given his usual rude apathetic nature, the fact he reassured her despite snaping at her earlier was unusually considerate of him.
** In the novel ''Literature/BleachCannotFearYourOwnWorld'', Grimmjow does assist Nelliel in rescuing Harribel from prison.
** In spite of his single-minded obsession towards fighting Ichigo, Grimmjow asks Shusui for permission to fight Ichigo in the novels. The fact that Grimmjow is usually selfish, the fact he actually thought about the treaty with Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, that was surprisingly reasonable of him.
** When questioned by Liltotto if Nelliel is Ichigo's girlfriend and Grimmjow says she isn't and goes on to give a surprisingly supportive comment about Ichigo and Orihime being a couple stating he considers Orihime his ideal partner.
* PowerMakesYourHairGrow: His Pantera form makes his hair grow so long that it reaches his legs.
* PragmaticVillainy: When Ichigo and his friends invaded Hueco Mundo, Aizen held a meeting with the Espada and showed Ichigo, Ishida and Chad heading for Las Noches, [[JerkassHasAPoint Grimmjow wanted to kill them straight away, stating that you eliminate vermin before it has a chance to fight back.]] Later, he needed Orihime to revive Ichigo for another fight, so he brought her along to make sure of it. Similarly, en route to Ichigo's location, he had Orihime BoundAndGagged with a large piece of cloth covering her, presumably so she wouldn't be detected by the other Arrancar and seemingly took the time to cover her wrists with a piece of cloth under the chains.
* PreMortemOneLiner: Once Orihime heals his arm, just before he obliterated [[SmugSnake Luppi]] with a Cero:
-->'''Luppi''': [[OhCrap Grimmjow...you bastard!]]\\

* ShipperOnDeck: In ''Can't Fear Your Own World'', Liltotto asks him if Nelliel is Ichigo's girlfriend. Grimmjow says that she is not and explains that Ichigo would only be interested in a girl from the Human World, and that Orihime would be an ideal partner for Ichigo. [[spoiler:He was right, as in the finale they're HappilyMarried.]]

* SoreLoser: His third fight with Ichigo was this, as Grimmjow refused to accept defeat despite being half dead and unable to fight anymore. Ichigo even calls him out on that telling Grimmjow that there is no point if all he wants is to destroy anything around him and people he doesn't like with nothing to rule over as king. He tells him if he loathes him that much he'll fight him whenever he wants but for now he needs to accept his loss and let it go. And while Grimmjow does seem to consider it, Nnoitra attacks him before he can let if fully sink in. Even upon his return, Grimmjow shows [[UngratefulBastard no gratitude towards Ichigo for saving his life]] and only cares more about getting payback claiming that their fight is unsettled. Nelliel even calls him out for his one-sided obsession, especially when the fate of the world is at stake all because of how bitter over his loss.

* StockShonenRival: He is this to Ichigo despite his limited appearances. He always had a desire to defeat Ichigo at his strongest after getting scarred by his Getsuga Tensho and briefly fought for the good guys in order to fight him one more time. He is a {{Foil}} of Ichigo, as Grimmjow is a BloodKnight who only cares about getting stronger and reigning Hueco Mundo as King, while Ichigo is a BloodKnight in denial over how much he enjoys fights and seeks to protect his friends. Grimmjow is also the only member of Aizen's army who points out that [[JerkassHasAPoint it would be more practical to just kill Ichigo now before he can become strong enough to pose a threat]], but Aizen (who has bigger plans for Ichigo), shoots this idea down and when Grimmjow decides to do so anyway he is punished by Tosen for disobeying orders by hacking off Grimmjow's arm.
* TailSlap: He grows a cat-like tail in Resurrección state that's powerful enough to send Ichigo flying with one hit.
* ATasteofTheirOwnMedicine: Implied why he chooses to brutalize Loly and Menoly. After seeing what the two female Arrancars did to Orihime out of spite and jealousy, Grimmjow decides to brutally asault them both in a similar manner that they did to Orihime, which also counts as a KickTheSonOfABitch moment.
* ThereWasADoor: When he interrupts Loly and Menoly beating the crap out of Orihime, he enters the room by blowing open a hole in the wall about five feet from the door. Loly decides to point out the obvious.

* ThirdTimesTheCharm: The first two times he tried to release his Zanpakuto, he was interrupted before he could do so. Gin made fun of it in an omake. It is only in his third and final battle against Ichigo that he is able to use his Resurrección uninhibited.

* TookALevelInBadass: Since his defeat at the hands of Ichigo, Grimmjow trained harder than he ever did, devouring Hollow after Hollow to become stronger, and it pays off, as upon his return in the Thousand Year Blood War he proves instrumental in defeating the Quincies Quilge and Askin by killing the both of them (the latter with assistance from Urahara). ''Literature/BleachCannotFearYourOwnWorld'' reveals that his reiatsu is higher than ever, with Kenpachi noticing it's far higher than Nnoitra. He was able to fight on par with the newly modified Luppi despite the latter being far more powerful thanks to Mayuri's modifications and, alongside Nelliel and Harribel, has evolved into a Vasto Lorde Arrancar making him now one of the very few Arrancars that is a Vasto Lorde. Even [[TheHighQueen Harribel]] takes note of this, refusing to ever try to fight him, strongly implying Grimmjow is stronger (if not as strong) as her and Nelliel.
* TookaLevelinKindness: While still a jerk most of the time, Grimmjow has mellowed out enough to not go out and kill anyone who angers him like he used to and is more civil and mature compared to his short-tempered self in the past.

* UngratefulBastard: Grimmjow shows no gratitude towards Ichigo for saving his life from Nnoitra and even has the gall to try to fight him right again the moment they reunite, not even caring about the fate of Hueco Mundo or his fellow Arrancars. However, based by Grimmjow's response to Ichigo as to why he's helping them, implies that deep down, [[BlatenLies that he's lying about why he's helping them]] [[IOweYouMyLife and is too prideful to admit it but is grateful for Ichigo saving him]].

* VillainousBreakdown: Upon his loss to Ichigo in their 3rd fight, Grimmjow forces himself to rise up and angrily rushes to him refusing to accept his loss. Nnoitra blindsides him mocking him for being such a SoreLoser.
* VillainousFriendship: With his Fraccion, having known them since before they joined Aizen's army.
* VillainHasAPoint:
** At the beginning of the Arrancar Arc when Ulquiorra reports back to Aizen on his findings in the Human World, Grimmjow points out it's a mistake to let Ichigo live. He's proven right since this ultimately costs Ulquiorra's life.

** In ''Can't Fear Your Own World'' when Liltotto asks if Nel was Ichigo's girlfriend, Grimmjow says no since Ichigo would only be interested in a girl from the world of the living. Which makes sense given Arrancars don't age yet Ichigo, a human, will. He also states that Orihime Inoue would be his more ideal partner since they both like each other. Turns out he was right as the two married in the future.

* WouldHitAGirl: He brutalized Loly and Menoly during his rescue of Orihime. Though unlike most examples, it's more [[KickTheSonofaBitch satisfying]] due to what they did to Orihime. He also threatened to choke Orihime when she refused to heal Ichigo to get his rematch with him.
** At least there are two times where he harmed Rukia. One where he stabs her with his hand, and another where he tries to incinerate her with a Cero.

* BadassBaritone: He's one of the most powerful Arrancar in Aizen's army and is portrayed with an appropriately deep voice in the Japanese anime, courtesy of Creator/JunichiSuwabe.

* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: ''LightNovel/BleachCannotFearYourOwnWorld'' reveals that he gained some resistance to poison after surviving his fight with Askin, who had the ability to make everything poisonous by lowering the lethal dose.

* TheDreaded: In ''LightNovel/BleachCannotFearYourOwnWorld'', it's noted that while Tier Harribel and and Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck -- both of whom once held the #3 rank in the Espada -- are the ''de facto'' rulers of Hueco Mundo, they don't openly refer to themselves as such to avoid antagonizing Grimmjow due to him having become exponentially more powerful once he became a Vasto Lorde.

* OmnicidalManiac: Grimmjow's aspect of death is "Destruction", in large part because his bloodlust and his desire for destruction was what turned him into a Hollow when he was still a Plus and is the only thing that can satiate the emptiness in his heart that all Hollows have. He only lives to cause wanton destruction and will stop at nothing to satisfy his desires.

For Grimmjow, this would only give him the opportunity to cause more destruction. He admits that he would have joined Tokinada and his world if they didn't already happen to be enemies on opposite sides.

** In the novel ''LightNovel/BleachCannotFearYourOwnWorld'', Grimmjow does assist Nelliel in rescuing Harribel from prison.

* TookALevelInBadass: Since his defeat at the hands of Ichigo, Grimmjow trained harder than he ever did, devouring Hollow after Hollow to become stronger, and it pays off, as upon his return in the Thousand Year Blood War he proves instrumental in defeating the Quincies Quilge and Askin by killing the both of them (the latter with assistance from Urahara).

Even [[TheHighQueen Harribel]] takes note of this, refusing to ever try to fight him, strongly implying Grimmjow is stronger (if not as strong) as her and Nelliel.

* DoesNotKnowHowtoSayThanks: Because of his pride and odd form of honor, Grimmjow never actually says thanks to anyone for anything, but is more to show it through actions. As When Orihime healed his arm, he personally saved her from Loly and Menoly as his own way to say thanks. In the final arc, despite claiming he's only helping Ichigo to get a rematch with him, it's strongly implied it's really because, despite his rivalry with him, Grimmjow wants to repay him for saving his life from Nnoitra years ago and agreed to help stop Yhwach from destroying everything as a way to thank him in his own way.
