This thread has turned silly:


 * 1) Bringing a Quincy into this who has no proof of ever being a Menos is a bit...just why, there are no ties between him and Grimmjow and he has nothing to do with the context of that story in the flashback.


 * 2) Never edit and remove something of your own accord without the agreement of the team here, that type of behavior will get you blocked.


 * 3) We know they have masks throughout their evolution that stay comparatively constant in similarities throughout their Hollow lives given that Adjuchas Menos form when one Hollow refuses to be suppressed by the others and they begin to evolve. That mask has a pretty unique appearance as it Shawlong's mask. It is definitely not Grimmjow and to even suggest as such ignores everything we know about Hollows. They evolve but they do not sprout completely different masks. Also, that Gillian has a cross between Shawlong and a normal Gillian mask, thus evolution, clearly changing into an Adjuchas.


 * 4) The entire context of the story that is being told surrounding the flashback strongly supports that it is Shawlong.
 * He is leading the group to try and evolve, he recruits Grimmjow with this aim and inspires him for evolution. This is his goal and that is the context of the story.
 * He is the one who gives up, telling Grimmjow to eat them, resigning to the fact they will not evolve but they can become part of Grimmjow and thus part of them will have that chance.
 * Thus this tale is about his aims, his evolution with which he recruited others to help out in, even inspiring a strong Adjuchas to his cause before giving up on it and deciding to go forward by giving himself to Grimmjow for his growth. Thus its the story of Shawlong life and aims as a Menos before he gives up.

So yeah, I strongly disagree, there is ample evidence to support that this is Shawlong.
