I had to admit that I really liked Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy: Wrath of the Spider Queen, but it felt a little rushed. Then I got to thinking about the scythe used in the flashback scenes. The highly ornamental scythe with a skull on it that seemed to be made just for Grim even if the title for "reaper" was still up for election. One that only responded with any kind of supernatural powers when Grim himself wielded it against Bogey.
That spawned this idea... what if the election was all a ruse? What if the faculty had intended to rig the election for Grim if he hadn't have won on his own, because he was used to create it? What if the 'prototype' scythe was actually Grim's Zanpakuto?
The basic premise is that the Underworld governing body that appointed Grim as reaper had somehow made contact with the world of Bleach some time ago and accidentally allowed humans to evolve and infest the Grim Adventures Earth during their breaching of the two worlds. This left a foreign species, man, dying on GA Earth with nowhere for their souls to go and nothing to collect them. the solution, ask Soul Society for help in creating their own version of a Shinigami to deal with the problem. The result was Grim, the the one destined to become the reaper no matter what from the beginning.
I figure at least part of it will come out as Velma decides to try to conquer the world as a back-up plan at the end of the movie. Grim, as the gatekeeper between the world of the living and the underworld, would be forced to try to stop her. Of course his normal scythe, one shown before as a device that needs to be recharged, is just a proxy scythe used to partially seal Grim's full powers on Earth. If fact it's charged by leaving it in the presence of the true scythe to absorb a bit of the true scythe's latent reiatsu. Now, to stop Velma and a whole planet of spiders, Grim will have to suck it up and summon his true scythe, the Reaper's Scythe, his Zanpakuto.
At least that's how I see the start of things. So how does that sound? Interesting enough to pursue?
