It was really satisfying seing Ragyo Kiryuin in Kill la Kill. She was an amazing villain. Powerful and with an amazing theme every time she appeard. She was also more or less just insane. She didn't need anything else. You don't need to complicate every time. And Ragyo was insane because she was born in a family that was physically augmented and brainwashed to serve the reproduction needs of alien parasite T-shirts, which were a metaphor for nationalism and confirmity. You can have an evil villain with a little depth that doesn't involve big redeeming qualities. Giving the Grimm some backstory and reasoning won't necessarily make them less evil.

I just hope the Grimm aren't part of some clumsy Yin and Yang theme. The Grimm are stated to be malicious and evil, and Yin and Yang describe completmentary forces; not opposing forces like Good and Evil. The only true evil in Yin and Yang is imbalance.
