I agree with GinIchimaru in that Grimmjow has nothing else to give to the story. BUT I cling to the hope that he's alive (if Irene from Claymore stays unconfirmed, Grimmjow stays unconfirmed -god, did I love Irene). For no purpose at all, but alive. Blame it on me being a girl ripped from my two loves (L and Ulquiorra) one must have something to believe in.

On Gin live/die matter, him turning good is out of the question, I think we're quite certain now that he's pure evil. Except for Rangiku, again, he seems to have a sweet spot for her (The Sokyoku Hill episode is the closest to romance we've got in the whole Bleach, and we know it -beside Hime-bitch wailing all he time), but she is in no condition to intervene, so I don't see a confrontation hapenning any time soon (sadly, I would've loved that). But Soulreaper made a good point there, that I actually considered after writing the entry: Ichigo never kills his opponents (which is why Ulquiorra dying was a STUPID move -yes, I know I should get over it, but I never will), so I'm wondering how this will be carried. Especially since this is Gin out of all people. I think he's the most popular of all the villains (yes people, Gin has more fans than Aizen, go figure -cheers!) so Ulqui knows what Kubo has in store for him. The spoiler shall come out tomorrow. If you read it, please DO NOT post what you read here, I will not appreciate it.
