Grimjaw

Grimjaw

The Bleach anime and manga feature an extensive cast of beings known as Hollows (虚（ホロウ, Horō?), the central antagonists of the series. These are malevolent, deceased souls of formerly ordinary humans in the Bleach universe. Much of the series focuses on the Arrancars, more powerful variants of Hollows. The Arrancars make up the army of Sōsuke Aizen, the former primary antagonist, and have a system of ranking based on strength. The most prominent Arrancars in the series are the ten most powerful Espadas and their direct subordinates.

The creator of the series, Tite Kubo, uses many Spanish motifs for Hollows. This is most prominent in the names for the various Hollow and Arrancar attack techniques. Many of the Arrancars also have Spanish-derived names.
