grimmjow's an asshole most of the time, but he's not a bad person, and he isn't going to kill anyone. if they fought, he would have left your friend alive.
（ but it is a technicality. just because he wouldn't have killed her directly necessarily mean there were wounds someone might succumb to later... even if he thinks it would be done more out of ignorance than deliberation. grimmjow wouldn't derive any satisfaction from someone dying of their wounds.
he needs to put that idiot on a leash, stg.
as for the rest, well. he's already committed. he's explained that he's powerful, and there's no point hiding the specifics of what he is. if nothing else, uchiha is going to see tensa zangetsu at some point. pre-empting any questions that might later arise will be one avenue of trust between them. ）
first, you probably need some context. i'm a shinigami. he's something called a quincy, a race of living humans with reiatsu — that energy you sensed in me — that was nearly eradicated in a war a millennia ago.
quincy have been at odds with shinigami well before that war. both shinigami and quincy can see spirits. shinigami can perform a ritual that sends spirits to the afterlife, cleansing corrupted spirits and permitting them to return to their place in the reincarnation cycle.
quincy destroy them.
（ he's pretty sure he doesn't have to describe the specifics to someone from a culture that aligns with his own. why that's as horrifying as it is. ）
the shinigami aren't blameless. they tried to commit genocide, and almost succeeded. it was way before my time, but that sin is part of my heritage. （ on both sides. shinigami and quincy both. he thinks of his mother, who he'd known so little and holds so few precious memories of, and wonders what she might have thought of her son fighting against the quincy's king. his jaw tightens faintly, and then he continues typing: ） until a few months ago i didn't know there were more than a few surviving quincy. but he's part of an army that was amassed to destroy the barriers between the realms of the dead and the living. shinigami are called balancers. we make sure the realms are in check. without those checks... my world will consume itself.
jago or whatever is the right hand man of the quincy king, yhwach. we've agreed to a ceasefire here, but i don't trust him. he'd probably say the same of me. you can believe whatever you want or ask him. i don't think he'd lie, but we see things differently.
