GRIMMJOW IS ALIVE! and I believe he will return I. Chapter 501 the reason I because at the end of the chapter the guy who sealed Ichigo in that cage gets cut down and we don't see who it is but the owner's blade is held at Urahara neck and he does say "oh, no". But let's consider he could be concern that it's a released Nel but I don't think he will be worried that it is Nel since she does seem to have control over her Espada form. And let's not forget that Grimmjow does have a history of using violence to get his way like threatening Orihime's life for her to heal Ichigo so he can fight him again. So yeah Grimmjow holding his sword to Urahara's throat to possibly try and save Ichigo to fight him again does seem very Grimmjow like. So here's hoping it's his sword at Urahara throat.
