User blog comment:Thejoker2508/Grimmjaw: Dead or Alive/@comment-1904799-20111127035928

Like Salubri said, there's been no confirmation one way or the other about whether or not Grimmjow is dead. If he is dead, there's not much to speculate on, is there? But let's assume he's alive. Grievously injured, but alive. In considering the status of a still-alive Grimmjow, we have to also consider the status of Hueco Mundo. 1.) Harribel is the only other Espada roamin' around the place. She and her Fraccion are all that's left of the Arrancar army, and Harribel herself has stated that not only does she not want to rule over Hueco Mundo, but it doesn't even need anyone to rule over it. So Grimmjow wouldn't be the ruler of Hueco Mundo. But even without being the ruler, there's still to consider 2.) Hollows are flooding the place now. With nothing stopping them from diving into Las Noches however they feel like, Hollows are going to be running rampant all over Hueco Mundo like they did before Aizen (and presumably before Baraggan) was ruler. Grimmjow may be a former Espada, but he's still badly wounded, and he wouldn't last long against a torrent of Hollows in his current state. But even disregarding that, we ALSO have to consider 3.) Captain Kurotsuchi has made numerous trips to Hueco Mundo to do "research." Also taking into account his fascination with whatever had been in Szayel-Aporro's lab, I think it's safe to say that Kurotsuchi would have a field day with Grimmjow if he ever stumbled across him. With those three points in mind, assuming Grimmjow isn't dead, he's badly wounded, facing a legion of Hollows he stands little chance against, and he might've even been taken away to be an experiment by Captain Kurotsuchi. So, no matter how you slice it, things don't look good for him.
