~ A poem about Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez from Volume 32 of the Bleach manga. |
Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez is a major antagonist from the Bleach franchise. He is one of Ichigo Kurosaki's arch-rivals. He is the Sexta or 6th Espada in Sōsuke Aizen's army, with his death aspect symbolizing "Destruction". Following Aizen's defeat at the hands of Ichigo, he remained in Hueco Muendo as an ally that aided the Soul Society during the Thousand Year Blood War against Yhwach and the Wandenreich.
He is voiced by Junichi Suwabe in Japanese (who also voiced Tsunenaga Tamaki in Deadman Wonderland, Hermes in Record of Ragnarok and Relius Clover in BlazBlue) and David Vincent in English (who also voiced Jin Kisaragi in BlazBlue, Gilgamesh in Fate/Stay Night. and Mael in The Seven Deadly Sins).
Personality[]
Grimmjow seems to be just a laid-back, outrageous, and disrespectful individual at first, but he actually has a very brutal, merciless, temperamental, and bloodthirsty personality. He is blunt and sadistic and has very little respect for authority, saying whatever is on his mind no matter what. Grimmjow often conflicts with Ulquiorra Cifer and believes that Ulquiorra to be weaker than him, something he is eager to prove. He also has a grudge against Ichigo for wounding him in their first two battles and desires to return the favor. Grimmjow is also greatly angered by Ichigo’s belief that he can beat him no matter what, which he interprets as looking down on him. He is highly rude, using no honorifics when speaking except when he talks to Aizen. However, Grimmjow does have some level of honor, refusing to fight a wounded Ichigo since it would be unfair and saving Orihime from Menoly and Loly to repay her for healing his arm. Also despite Grimmjow’s hotheadedness and aggression, he has a good deal of cunning, exploiting any opening he gets from his opponent.
Powers and Abilities[]
Grimmjow possesses a great deal of spiritual power and is a master of both hand-to-hand combat and swordplay. He also has a high level of physical strength and is highly knowledgeable in combat, able to figure out the aspects of a person's power.
Grimmjow has demonstrated the ability to use a Cero, a powerful energy blast used by Hollows and Arrancars, the Gran Ray Cero, a more powerful Cero used only by Espada, Sonído, a technique which lets him move at high speeds, Hierro, a technique that makes his skin extremely durable to attacks, Pesquisa, an Arrancar ability to sense spirit energy, and Garganta, a technique that creates a portal capable of taking him to and from Hueco Mundo. Like all Arrancars, Grimmjow is able to enter his Resurrección form by releasing his Zanpakuto, Pantera, with the release command, “Grind”.
In this form, he is even more powerful, gaining an increase in strength, speed, and agility. He is also powerful enough to level a building sized structure, and use Desgarrón, his most powerful attack where he generates energy claws that he can send at his target, controlling them with slashing motions.
