Chapter 276 (spoilers)

[Greg]

No... that was "for Aizen's sake" though I don't really believe it.

[Sparks]

He's the rebel of the espada, however you look at it...

[CrazyBleachFan]

Yeah Grimmjow took the Arrancar with him, because he didn't like how Ulquirra didn't kill Ichigo. He just said that to avoid a beating from Aizen and I think I could see Grimmjow trying to attempt a coup. Think about it. He is being ordered around by who? Worthless Shinigami. I could see him teaching Ichigo some stuff, while they are fighting, kind of like a fight to the death, but teaching Ichigo some Hollow control while doing so.

[Sparks]

Yeah, and Even "cera" maybe and maybe even Help out Inoue escaping???

[CrazyBleachFan]

Yeah stuff like that. He is going to beat a Hollow leasson into him. Help letting Inoue go? He maybe a rebel, but I know Grimmjow is a rebel, but Aizen will personally kill him slowly and painfully. Grimmjow might do the whole Gin thing, like battle Ichigo, but then say I thought he was dead and maybe that way, but he is going to stuff discreetly if he is staging a coup.

[Arctic]

Or maybe he'll go out FMA style like Greed - helping the protagonist through a fight to the death

[CrazyBleachFan]

Yeah that's what we are agreeing on Artic. Ichigo has to learn a lesson and who better than Grimmjow to teach him.

[Sparks]

Yeah, If he can get passed GrimmJows standards, then he's gotten up to Espada rank 10 standards...

[MangaAddict]

Did it look like Ichigo was dead in that last chapter... his eyes looked open. Anyway, Grimmjow staging a coup, I dunno... But hes definitly planning something with Ichigo and Inoue. I hope we get to see more Ichigo next time... Whatever happened to Rukia?? It showed her dying but I doubt she died...

[wildstriker]

Grimmjow training Ichigo would be too..., unreasonable I guess?, I think he only did it because he doesn't want anyone to kill him except himself.

His assault on the human world is not really a rebel towards Aizen, more like, he wanted to prove Ulquiorra judgement is wrong and gain Aizen's favor in doing so. And really..., Aizen is not just some worthless Shinigami.

on side note, yeah, it seems that we haven't see Rukia or Chad in past few chapters. Guess they're not that important at the moment..., hell, maybe their role's already over in this arc anyway.
