Grimmjow’s Survival Had Been Hinted At Before

In the fourth installment of the initial season of BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War, titled “Kill the Shadow”, it was suggested that Grimmjow was involved as Sternritter J – The Jail, Quilge Opie terrorized the inhabitants of Hueco Mundo and abducted some Hollows to serve Yhwach. After Ichigo vanquished the Quincy and escaped to Soul Society, he employed Ransōtengai to manipulate his injured form and attempted to assault Urahara, Nel Tu, Chad, and Orihime. However, an unidentified force dismembered him before turning its attention towards Urahara. In episode 8, “The Shooting Star Project (Zero Mix)”, Ichigo was preparing to join the Zero Squad for training when he overheard a familiar voice during a video conversation with Urahara.

In the fifth episode of “BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3,” there’s a moment where the voice heard in the video is briefly visible, and it’s undeniably Grimmjow, with a conspicuous wound on his abdomen – a detail that aligns with Ichigo’s suspicions. Upon hearing Ichigo’s voice, Grimmjow shows signs of agitation. Despite Ichigo’s concerns about Grimmjow’s presence due to past encounters, Urahara assures him they have reached an understanding and there’s no need for worry. The specifics of the agreement between Urahara and Grimmjow remain unclear at this point in the series. However, it’s been hinted that Grimmjow has grown stronger since his battle against Ichigo, leading up to his long-awaited appearance. In the scene, a figure is seen walking towards what appears to be a Garganta, which then opens, revealing Grimmjow stepping out from it, leaving Ichigo in shock.

What Can We Expect?

Immensely Important Combat Potential

From his initial appearance, Grimmjow has been portrayed as a formidable adversary for Ichigo, and following his defeat during the Hueco Mundo arc, he’s been eagerly anticipating another opportunity to face off against him; however, their rematch must be postponed. Having Grimmjow on your side is a significant advantage due to his exceptional combat skills and high spiritual power. As the former sixth-ranking Espada under Aizen, Grimmjow posed a considerable challenge for Ichigo in their previous battles. The fact that Tier Harribel, current ruler of Hueco Mundo and former member of the Tres Espada, was captured by Quilge Opie and the Jagdarmee (Hunting Corps), while Grimmjow managed to evade capture and even killed an Ayon-enhanced Quilge Opie (in his Vollständig form) with a single slash, indicates that he will be invaluable in battle.

Grimmjow’s status as a Hollow will significantly impact his battles against Quincies due to their toxicity towards reishi. Previously, Grimmjow played a significant role in the backstory of the “Protection of the Soul King Great War,” likely due to the reishi from Nel Tu (alongside Pesche Guatiche and Dondochakka Birstanne) being used by Urahara in creating the black pills, which allowed Shinigami to regain their stolen Bankai during the first season of BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War. Now that he’s fully emerged, his appearance in the opening sequence no longer spoils future events, and we can anticipate the series to delve deeply into the intense action yet to unfold.

BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 is available on Hulu and Disney+.
