Historia de Pantera y su Sombras
(The Story of the Panther and its Darkness)
[right text: The inseparable shadow... and past]

[Text: For a Gillian, // There is no "self". // Gillian, the lowest of the Menos, are born when hundreds of Hollows clump together, that's what they say. / But... // That's not really true. // Hollows consume human souls so as to fill the place of the heart they lost, to wash away the dryness of their own souls. / But... / If that dryness is particularly extreme, a Hollow begins to thirst for the souls of its fellow Hollows. // These Hollows that desire the souls of other Hollows tend to gether together... // And there begins the mutual consumption. // As they do this, the souls blend together, and the "self" is lost. // They become Gillians, huge, mindless, but possessing enormous spiritual power.]

6
[Text: But... / When the ability or the "self" of one of the Hollows that was originally eaten rises sufficiently above the others, // Occasionally, a Gillian can transform even further, and a being that has self appears once more. // That being consumes its fellow Gillian, and continues its own evolution. // Soon enough, // It becomes what is known as an "Adjuchas".]

7
Adjuchas: What's this...? // What a teensy little Adjuchas. // Sorry 'bout this...
[Text: Those who become Adjuchas / are exposed to more terror than ever before.]
Adjuchas: I'm gonna eat you.

8
[Text: That is... / The fear of regression. // If they do not continually consume their brother Hollows, // Adjuchas will return to being Gillian. // Furthermore... // Those that have regressed will certainly lose their "self", and will never again return to being Adjuchas.]

9
Adjuchas: ...You're strong.
Shawlong: What is your name, Adjuchas?
Grimmjow: Grimmjow.
Shawlong: I am Shawlong. // Join hands with us, // Grimmjow. // But I am not saying there will be no price.

10
Grimmjow: what are you playing at?
Shawlong: We... // ...have no intention of remaining Gillian or Adjuchas for the rest of our lives. // We will definitely... // ...rise to become Vasto Lorde. // To do that, we need power. // A great power that will drag us up to that level.

11
Shawlong: You are the one suited for that purpose. // Let us join forces, Grimmjow. // You... // ...will be our King. // ...Grimmjow.

Ichigo: *heavy breathing, render how you like*
Grimmjow: What's this...? // ...Those eyes... // You're always like that... // No matter how much I beat you up... // You've got this sense about you that you're going to beat me... // You think you're freaking stronger than me...!!

14
Grimmjow: I CAN'T FREAKIN' STAND IT!!!

15
Ichigo: Hah... / You "can't stand it"...? // You can't stand a human looking at you like they're on your level...?! // Ugh...

16
Grimmjow: WHO GIVES A SHIT?!!! // WHETHER YOU'RE A HUMAN, OR A SHINIGAMI, OR AN ARRANCAR,

17
Grimmjow: ANYONE WHO LOOKS AT ME LIKE THEY'RE UNDERESTIMATING MY POWER, // I'LL SMASH EVERY ONE OF 'EM INTO OBLIVION!!!

18
Grimmjow: And the first one... // IS YOU, KUROSAKI!!!

19
Grimmjow: ...Here I come.
