Thread: Grimmjaw, smarter than others think?

I'm pretty much in agreement with him over the matter of wanting Ichigo died before he gets stronger, made more sense to get rid of a threat before it can become a bigger threat later on than let it catch a few too many levels in ass kicking.

Um, yeah... but then the story would end... >.>

It's pretty retarded, but Grimmjow had a chance to kill Ichigo on 3 seperate occasions, all of which, he was interrupted.

One-armed Grimmjow > 11 seconds masked Ichigo

Somehow... a little bit later...

Masked Ichigo > released Grimmjow

He apparantly learned Hollow control during the time he was beaten by Ulquiorra, and the time Grimjow came and found him.

Wait, wait, wait. Grimmjow? As in Mr. "Healing my dying enemy so I can fight him at his full power for my own twisted pleasure is a totally swell idea"?

You know, if Grimmjow really wanted Ichigo dead, he sure did pick the most retarded way possible to accomplish his goal. Though I loathe to invoke the comparison, he really displayed Goku-like idiocy there.

He displayed some intelligence when dealing with Ulquiorra. Surprised me a lot to be honest.

he wants to prove he's the best to ichigo. in his opinion, you start fighting someone, the fight ends wen one of u is dead.
a rather typical mentality

He has alot of pride, and upholds it by having ichigo and himself healed before battle.
Thats nothing to do with intelligence, its his ego that made him waste that opportunity.
Also he would want Ichigo to get stronger, to show him how weak he is by crushing him after that.

sorry double post. lag...

Grimm might not be stupid like most thugs, but he is one of the thuggish hollows. He doesn't display coolheaded intellect like Ulquiorra and places pride over strategy, so he is still stupid in my books.

That attitude especially makes little sense when you have 5 hollows stronger than you as well as Aizen and his buddies. His defiant attitude and pride landed him in shit before and he paid for it in the end.

As for his 'observation' on Ichigo, it isn't exactly a deep or unobvious one. We already saw Ulquiorra's recognition of his threat earlier. Even then though, Aizen obviously still regards Ichigo as a joke, considering how he let him run amok in HM without care, even if it was part of a ploy between him and SS.

He's not letting him run amok, he bought him there for that specific reason. To provide a diversion while he focuses his time and his elite arancarr on the plan at hand. While the SS Stooge (Ichigo) runs around fighting nobodies.
