Original subtitles

Humanity asks itself:

"What am I?"

“What is life?”

“What is the universe?”

Without ever finding the answer,

men die. This is their destiny.

A vision of the past:

a tranquility without magnitude,

a hope without scope.

Once these have been reduced to nothing,

a man stands up.

This man brings hope

and the flame of evolution.

An immense power is born

and the man fights.

He learns what despair is.

Humanity asks itself:

“Why fight?”

“Why do we die?” “Why are we devastated?”

Without finding an answer,

men die.

Such is the happiness of men.

Humans!

You pathetic you!

Tremble before my absolute power.

Kneeling before overwhelming terror and despair,

in front of the name of the Spiral King!

Remain buried in the depths of the Earth.

This is the destiny of this world.

GURREN LAGANN - THE MOVIE

THE END OF CHILDHOOD

My job is to dig tunnels, day in and day out.

The more you dig, the bigger the village becomes.

If the chef is satisfied, he gives us porcitamole to eat.

Is this why I'm digging?

Not exactly.

I also do it to find treasures.

Dig hard!

Why don't you dig like him?

Don't want steaks?

It's Simon the driller.

What's the point of spending your days covered in dust?

He has something weird in his hands.

- He's disgusting. And he stinks. - He's looking this way.

If we're not careful, he'll bring out his machine.

Walk with your head held high, Simon.

Kamina.

No Kamina between us. Call me "Big Brother."

Don't pay attention to what these tunas say.

This thing suits you really well.

For it is you who will bore a hole to the heavens.

Make way for the Gurren Brigade!

Boota.

What are you doing?

We're going to use your tendril to cross the ceiling.

The surface is at the end of the road.

- You are crazy. - You can do it.

It's all a matter of will.

That's how it is with the Gurren Brigade.

Kamina, you again!

Push yourself, boss!

Complete Idiot.

Wake up!

This "surface" you speak of does not exist.

It's wrong. I saw it.

Up there, there are no walls or ceilings.

Nothing but a resplendent blue sky.

- Like father like son, it seems. - What?!

Your father was just talking nonsense too.

In the end, he must have ended up buried under a pile of rocks.

That's not true, he reached the surface. I was with him.

- What are you doing here, then? - Well...

Get this into your head:

this village is all we have.

For generations, we have been forbidden to unseal the ceiling.

There will be nothing to eat for those who don't understand that.

In the dungeon. And deprived of meals.

An earthquake!

Let's run away, Kamina.

- Out of the question. - But...

I won't run away.

If we don't run away, we'll end up in ruins!

It's true, excuse me... I forgot.

Don't worry, it will calm down.

Do you plan to live every day in fear of an earthquake?

On the surface there is no ceiling.

That's enough!

It is not out of charity that I take care of you,

but because I am the boss.

It is my duty to take care of this village.

If you don't do what I say,

you have nothing to do here.

It's a face!

- A huge face. - With huge teeth.

Look!

The surface is there. I told you.

The surface exists. This big thing comes from up there.

Right, boss?

A monster!

Run away! He will devour us.

Hurry up here.

You have the nerve to land in my village

with your big cake face.

Run away!

But that's the end of your sleight of hand.

Who are you, bastard?

He speaks!

I'll tell you, so uncork your big stumps.

I am the leader of the Gurren Brigade, the terror of Jeeha.

When its formidable leader is mentioned,

this paragon of virility, this demon with an indomitable spirit,

It's me, Kamina, we're talking about.

The great Kamina will not tolerate further damage in this village.

What can a miserable human like you do against me?

Safe, both of you.

Does it come from the surface?

All I did was knock him over. He will get up.

Hello, doll.

- A problem? A hand? - What?

You're so damn hot.

The girls on the surface have class.

I told you to take shelter. You want to die?

Thanks, Simon. You saved us.

Hurry up. This way.

- Where we are? - In Jeeha village.

- It's the well next door. - Nearby?

I come from the village of Littner, in the neighboring well.

Eh? You come from the surface but grew up in a well?

I'm from the surface, but I'm originally from Littner.

Are you from a well? Move your fat.

What is this change in behavior?

This way.

Where are we going?

- In the face. - The face?

A huge face.

- A Ganmen, you mean? - What is that?

That's it.

A moment.

From here I can reach its cables. It will paralyze him.

I've got you.

Face of cake!

We're going to take you down in one shot, so say your prayers.

What happened to you?

A man always looks his opponent in the eye.

But I'm a woman!

A woman has no business getting involved in a man's fight.

The one fighting here is me.

You have some wit, woman. I like this.

Is this the face you wanted to show me?

You've unearthed something impressive.

I wonder if that's Ganmen's friend up there?

He's smaller than the other one, but I like his face.

- Look at this. - Can we get in?

- It's... - Can it be controlled?

- It seems to work. - Really?

Be the first to.

It's up to you to do it.

You're the one who found it. It belongs to you.

- But... - You are my little brother.

An older brother does not steal from his little brother.

Go ahead.

You can do it.

- But... - Don't trust yourself.

Trust me.

- In me who trusts you. - What gibberish.

I'll try.

That works!

You succeed.

You didn't expect that, Ganmen of my two.

The heavens may tolerate your violence,

but the mighty Lagann, certainly not.

Lagan?

That's the name of this thing. I just baptized him.

Are we on his head?

Big brother!

It's all a matter of will.

This is the motto of the Gurren Brigade.

Big brother!

Simon, class!

Hurry up and jump!

Jump, I tell you.

I've got you.

We're too tight.

Don't you want to stop moaning for a second?

Shit! I need more power.

- A spin? - She appeared suddenly.

This is the perfect weapon for you.

I believe we can do it.

We're going to smash this face of cake.

Show him the power of the Gurren Brigade's tendril.

It's your turn, Simon. Drill a hole to the heavens.

Farewell, Jeeha village.

The surface is ours. The one I discovered as a child.

Is that the surface?

That's wonderful.

Yoko.

It's my name. I didn't introduce myself, right?

Now that you say it...

My name is Kamina. And this is Simon.

Nice to meet you.

What is this hairy thing between my breasts?

Say, Boota!

Always at the forefront, right?

Is it me, or are we falling?

The reactors are shut down. Do something.

I don't know how... It's ruined.

Don't give up like that!

We fall. Hang in there!

Sorry.

Attention. There are others.

What?

Yoko!

- Dayakka! - Is he a friend of yours?

Here are the fighters from the village of Littner.

You did a good job.

It's beyond my strength.

You're always there to save the day.

THANKS.

It rocks, right?

Yes.

- The surface is something. - Yes.

With this big luminous disk and these little spots everywhere...

There is light everywhere, even at night.

I much prefer that to inky nights in the well.

We were right to get out into the open air.

The big disk is the moon. The little spots, the stars.

We called them that in the past.

The moon and the stars? These are simple names.

I wonder why they had names.

If they had names,

this means that in the past, people saw them all the time.

There is some in there.

It is possible that a long time ago,

humanity lived on the surface.

Really?

Some sources say yes, others say no.

And so?

I am both a man and a woman: it's the same.

Who are you, anyway?

My name is Leeron, but you can call me Ron.

- Or 'Nice tranny', if you want. - Rather die.

I have a favor to ask of you.

Could you help us transport this?

But...

What is this?

It's pretty.

It works, finally.

This way.

Does it react to male emotions?

Fascinating.

This place is not the paradise you imagine.

We don't live here by choice.

Really?

Our village was like yours in the past.

An accident made it uninhabitable.

We were forced to come to the surface,

where the Ganmen were waiting for us.

Their goal is to exterminate all humans on the surface.

The class. This is exactly what I was hoping for.

You are definitely not losing your bearings.

No wonder they're sold out.

Today was a big first for them.

Get ready, you filthy humans.

Today we're taking out the trash.

Two days in a row. Hard.

They are taking revenge for yesterday.

Get ready.

- Eh? - It does not work?

- Another one is coming. - Another?

Cover your ears.

What is that?

These shakes!

That was it.

It was their fault.

All those earthquakes were because of them.

It's because of them that mom and dad are...

It's huge.

This is the first time I've seen him.

I like his face.

It's decided. I'm going to make it my Ganmen.

What are you talking about?

I said I was going to fly this thing.

Big brother!

You arrived just in time!

What's wrong with this guy?

Pardon.

The more I look at it, the more this body makes me want it.

You're too confident, human.

Simon!

I won't let you hurt my big brother.

Just a moment, big brother.

Out. My place.

It's all about combativeness!

Brigade leader Gyuzak was killed.

Damn humans. You will regret it.

I'm not dead, you fools!

You killed Brigade Chief Gyuzak. What nerve!

Take this! From our boss.

Big brother!

I'm going to send you to Hell, you little turd.

What's wrong with you, Kamina?

Be more combative!

Don't look for me, Ganmen bastards.

It's over for you, microbe.

'Who Do You Take Me For' Kick!

'Don't touch my brother' punch!

Big brother?

We do them together.

In your face! Cannonball attack!

I can not believe!

Failed, failed.

They did it.

Hacking a Ganmen has never been done before.

They are promising, these two.

He has class.

Yes, he put the three carcasses together.

What is that symbol on your back?

He rocks, right? It is the emblem of the Brigade.

I'm going hunting. You accompany me?

It's really far. You take me?

Good idea. I'm tempted.

Simon, let's go.

Me too? I won't bother you?

Do you think.

You are doing well!

It's as the best shooter in the village

entrust me with this weapon.

- You want to try? - I can?

- I got it. - Wow.

Here it is.

Another arrow?

- You defend yourself, human. - Who are you, bastard?

I am the leader of the Human Eradication Army troops,

Viral.

What?

It's my dinner you're holding. Give it to me.

It's true? Sorry, I'll give it back to you.

He wasn't dead?

You won't run away.

Run away? Anything.

Who do you take me for?

I am the great Kamina, of the Gurren Brigade.

I never turn my back on the enemy.

Your arrogance will ruin you.

Humans on the surface,

we exterminate them,

Motherfucker!

Jerk.

Like I'm going to let you do it.

Impossible.

I almost got you.

You managed to hurt me.

But the surprise effect has worn off.

It's over!

Big brother!

- You have come at the right time. - I heard a gunshot.

A miniature Ganmen?

Did he spot me?

Rebels? Alright.

Aren't you too hurt?

Don't worry. I'm going to pilot Gurren.

I'm tasked with getting rid of the human thieves from Ganmen.

I should be done before dinner.

Where have you seen a Ganmen?

His name is Gurren.

And stop showing off with your two heads.

You are a good swordsman,

but to pilot a mecha, you will pass again!

Simon!

Yoko, take shelter.

Take this! Cannonball attack!

Simon, Kamina! They are no match.

It's time to end this. Die!

Where are they?

It's rapids to escape.

Too bad. We'll finish this tomorrow.

Simon,

why did you dig this hole?

I was afraid. I wanted to run away.

I can not stand it anymore. Let's go back to the village.

He's way too strong.

We are not up to the task.

I don't want us to die like this.

If this continues, the same thing will happen to you as to your father.

Simon!

Your tendril points towards the heavens.

- Don't use it to escape. - But...

We'll do it again tomorrow. I'm going to bed, and so are you.

I will pilot Lagann.

I will replace Simon tomorrow.

You won't get away with it otherwise.

I'll ask Ron to sort this out.

I have combat experience.

Not Simon. He's not a fighter.

You saw clearly that he was scared.

He will get there.

How do you know?

Why trust him so much?

It can't be explained.

- What is it then? - That hasn't changed.

I believe in him because I believe in myself.

And I believe in myself because I believe in him.

For me it's the same thing.

That's what we call a team.

You have guts for not going off on a tangent, human.

And I congratulate you for not running away,

You weird mutant.

Fire!

That tickles.

Kamina!

You are really

irrecoverable!

Kamina!

Impossible.

It was lost in advance.

We have no chance.

Stop it, big brother.

Look at him.

He will get up as many times as necessary,

until you join him.

Remember what he said.

“Don’t believe in yourself.

“Believe in me who believes in you.”

What are you doing here?

I...

I...

I...

Are you getting up again?

Now is not the time to go there.

Madness.

You will have time to think

what separates us when you are in Hell!

- Kamina! - He's no match.

Look, it sparkles.

It's over this time.

What?

Finally you're here.

I am scared. I am terrified.

But I refuse to see you get killed.

Well said.

Big words, big remedies.

Let's go!

- We're merging! - Merger?

A merger?!

- A merger? - Impossible.

We're going to try anyway.

You see? We also have two heads now.

We're like you, the beast.

So you really are a complete idiot.

What matters is power. Die!

Impossible!

Kamina! Simon!

Amazing.

What is that?

You were right, big brother.

We merged.

It would seem.

A merger?

How common humans...?

What do you think, beast leader?

With that, we are sure to win.

Die!

You dream.

A cross counter.

Listen to me carefully, beast.

A fusion is the meeting of two minds.

Always more guts.

The fusion of the brave.

Gurren Lagann!

Who did you take me for?

I'm naming this mecha 'Gurren Lagann'!

- Gurren...? - Lagann...?

Too original.

I didn't think I would have to use my swords.

I underestimated you, human.

This is Gurren Lagann. Are you stuffy?

Why is he so powerful all of a sudden?

It's impossible that it's because of this little Ganmen!

You can not understand.

Motherfucker!

You still don't believe...

Kamina!

Amazing. He took it all head on.

What resistance.

Their energy field must have stopped the attack.

They are truly out of the ordinary.

It's true that you make quite a pair,

you and Kamina.

I'm sorry I was so hard on you.

I was wrong.

I discovered something interesting.

It's what?

Gurren's program

indicates the coordinates of a rally point.

A rallying point?

Gurren was an enemy Ganmen.

He was supposed to come home.

Are you talking about the enemy's base?

- Are you really leaving? - Yes.

We know where the enemy is hiding.

We just have to go and celebrate him.

Everything will be alright.

I will overcome my fear.

It's a farewell.

Sorry, I would have liked to come with you.

You must protect women and children.

At any rate,

Seeing you in action gave us hope.

GOOD.

- What are you doing here? - And what is this luggage?

Do you think you can do without an experienced mechanic?

Now that you say it...

You agree?

Ron was just waiting for this. I can't hold it.

But...

I wouldn't miss it for anything.

They might just shake things up.

- How so? - There is the question.

Be kind and carry my bags.

See you.

Follow them.

We're looking after Littner.

Follow your own path.

On the other hand, I didn't expect him to be your type.

But anything.

Thank you, Dayakka.

See you next time.

You'll see, the critters.

We'll give you back your change.

My name is Kittan.

We are...

- ...hunters... - ...of beasts!

We are

the Black Brotherhood.

My name is Rossiu, from Adai village.

- My name is Gimmy. - And I'm Darry.

ROYAL CITY OF TEPPELIN

LORDGENOME - THE SPIRAL KING

It seems that chaos reigns on the surface.

Indeed.

The eastern forces suffered heavy losses.

CYTOMANDER THE FULGURANT

They disrespect the forces of the Spiral King.

Tymilph softened.

GUAME the STILL

When the seasons change,

there are always fools to come to the surface.

It would be wiser to crush them

before the movement gains momentum.

ADIANE THE ELEGANT

Are you implying that King Spiral's generals

should take matters into their own hands?

Calm down.

A man who has known more dishonor than all of you

is on its way to fixing the problem.

I highly doubt he will disappoint me.

Alright.

Don't do anything that might disturb

the thousandth year of your sovereign's reign.

We are at your command, King Spiral.

Look closely, Kamina.

This is the mobile fortress of the Ganmen, Dai-Ganzan!

It's way too big for us.

I'm laughing about it in advance.

Since I came to the surface,

no one had ever overshadowed me as much as you.

This machine will be mine.

- Big brother. - Have you gone crazy, Kamina?!

I see you!

Even Gurren Lagann can't do anything against Dai-Ganzan.

Impossible!

Fire at will!

You asked for it!

Mine is the final blow of Enkidu, the Great Kabuto!

So you're the boss?

TYMILPH THE WARMER

I can finally see your face.

I am one of the four generals of the Spiral King:

Tymilph the Warlike!

This is the first time I've heard of you.

Open your cabbage leaves carefully.

I can grip the blazing sun despite its heat.

My will is unwavering.

I am the great, the only Kamina.

You better not forget.

You are tiny, pathetic, and insignificant, Gurren Lagann.

I will tear away your unwavering will.

I won't stop.

- He's going to tear our legs off. - It's going to give way.

Who dared?

General, there is a Ganmen there!

A Ganmen saved us?

Take flight! We've got you covered.

This voice...

Yes, it's me, Littner's Dayakka.

Without forgetting Kittan from the Black Brotherhood.

The cavalry has arrived, Kamina.

Who are you?

It's me, Kittan the Great. You already forgot me?!

Where did you find these Ganmen?

- It's because of you. - Of me?

Everyone has been copying you since you got Gurren back.

- I don't copy anyone! - Everyone?

And we will surely have other companions soon.

Companions?

Miserable humans! Insolent!

Fire at will!

To attack!

Still small fry.

I would have preferred...

It's terrible, Kamina and Simon are trapped.

Kamina, can you hear me?

It's way too big. Retreat.

If you ever die, who will command our new companions?

Who will be our leader?

Silence! I already told you that I never turn my back on the enemy.

Yoko is right. We have to go.

Stupid!

If we turn our backs on these guys,

they will be able to see all the burdens that we carry with us.

This would amount to endangering

the future that we are trying to build.

Maybe, but what do you want us to do?

- I have an idea, I think. - What?

Let me do.

Alright. The outcome of this fight is in your hands.

You will not escape me.

What is he trying to do?

They no longer have a way out.

They are at the edge of the cliff.

Maybe they were really stupid...

You underestimated Dai-Gunzan's agility.

You're stuck, Kamina.

Now,

It's over.

For you, yes.

What?

Kamina, you bastard!

It wasn't my idea.

Don't get a big head.

The omnipotence of the Spiral King is your enemy now.

I'm warning you, we'll come back and sort this out.

Say your prayers.

It was worthy of Simon the Driller. Good game!

- Big brother. - Look at this.

They all joined resistance against the Ganmen.

They heard that a sick man stole a Ganmen.

It pushed them to join you.

Your madness is contagious. They all got sick.

Health!

- I spilled my beer. - There's something bad, the old man.

Yoko, we are going to win.

We will win until they stop trying to attack us.

I want to give Simon, Gros-Front, Gimmy, and Darry

a world where children can live.

That's why the Gurren Brigade...

No, let the Super Gurren Brigade fight.

On the other hand, never put yourself in danger again like today.

I was very afraid.

Listen to me, you weirdos.

Glad to see you here.

The giant Ganmen from earlier

will come back tomorrow for sure.

Here's what we're going to do:

we're going to steal their big thing.

We're not going to embarrass ourselves.

And then we'll make that our base.

It's a rocking idea, isn't it?

We were able to get here thanks to the Ganmen we stole.

We have nothing to fear.

But how are we going to do it?

You're the one who's going to take care of it.

Me?

Yoko?

Good evening. How are you?

Hold.

It's hot. Be careful.

If you fight on an empty stomach, Lagann will walk in slow motion.

THANKS.

Listen, Simon...

No it is nothing.

Good luck.

I'm done.

Good work. I no longer risk missing my target.

It's rare that you let someone touch your rifle.

We have no room for error.

I see you understand.

Gurren Lagann is far more powerful than Gurren alone.

This is true for his defense too.

What will happen if Kamina rushes into the crowd, as usual?

No matter how much we tell him, he won't change his attitude.

I'm still going to have to cover this pain in the ass.

In the genre, you're not bad either.

Hold.

Aren't you afraid of not being able to move if you eat too much?

I need strength. Especially today.

Yes.

- Yoko, you'll have my back. - OK.

I will explode enemies who come from the front.

I'm counting on you to have my back.

- Kamina? - Yes?

Indeed, you don't know how to protect your back.

Yoko...

Ten times more.

When I return, I will give you ten times more. Do not forget.

What now?

More romantic, you die.

It's time to fight.

I look forward to my ten kisses.

All right.

Our plan is simple:

Ganmen pilots will attack first

to bring out the enemy Ganmen.

Simon will benefit from it

to merge Lagann with this big thing and control it.

We will use it to crush our enemies.

If we succeed, victory is ours.

- Got it? - Yes!

We crush them, we explode them.

I made sure that the pilots could communicate with each other.

I doubt obeying orders is your thing,

but if you want to survive, you should respond.

We respond, we explode them.

It left my Kiki.

Super Gurren Brigade, on the move!

- See you later. - Pay attention.

I have to clear my head. I need to concentrate.

What is that?

This is connected to the Lagann systems

and the other to those of Gurren.

- You help me? - Yes.

I want to help too.

OK.

Here we go!

We were waiting for you.

We suspected you would come.

We expected it.

- Rocks? - In your face, the critters.

Barbarians of humans.

Are you afraid of melee?

These rocks are my fists.

They are smart.

Dai-Ganzen, start. Open the loopholes!

Disperse the enemies.

Catapult arm

on standby.

Launch!

Where is his head?

Where is your head, motherfucker?

Now, Simon!

Go for it, Simon!

Lagann, impact!

This behemoth is ours now.

Damn Kamina! You trapped us.

Yes, but above all,

I put our luck and our courage on the line.

How did he manage to progress so quickly?!

I won't let you do it.

You're talented, but I won't let you win.

What are you doing, Simon?

Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I have difficulty controlling it.

- What are you doing? - I know!

Why is this bothering me like this?

Ditch the small fry! We return to Dai-Ganzan.

Stay where you are.

Immobilize these Ganmen, you.

- I take care of Simon. - Understood!

Open up for me, Simon.

Grit your teeth!

Big brother...

Wake up?

If you start doubting again, I'll give you another one.

Do not worry. I am with you.

Believe in yourself.

Believe in yourself, because I believe in you.

Understood.

- Awesome. - Wonderful, Simon. Extraordinary!

You're synchronizing visibly. Another effort.

You see, it wasn't so...

- Big brother! -Kamina!

I won't let you steal my Dai-Ganzan so easily.

Tymilph? You...

You forgot your thing. I'll give it back to you.

Motherfucker!

Alkaid Glaive!

You are tough. But this time,

you won't survive!

No...

Impossible.

Big brother!

- What happened? - General, be careful!

Viral, where are you going?

- What's going on Leeron? - Dai-Ganzan is like crazy.

He will end up falling into the volcano.

And Kamina? Please, Kamina, answer!

Kamina!

Bad timing for taking a nap.

Simon, stop!

It's messed up.

I can't do anything anymore.

Simon, grit your teeth!

You're not dead?

Who do you think you are, Simon?

Your tendril is meant to pass through the heavens, the earth, and the future.

What are you doing here, then?

We won!

This monster is yours. You have nothing to fear anymore.

Big brother.

Everything is fine now!

Dai-Ganzan is under our control. Everyone come on board.

Damn humans.

King Spiral himself had entrusted me with this fortress.

I would still rather destroy it than leave it to you.

This creature still hasn't understood that he lost.

Come on, Simon, it's time to put an end to these puppets.

We're going to merge.

We will achieve victory thanks to Gurren Lagann.

Got it, big brother.

Here we go!

You can laugh at our temerity;

it is always with will that we fight.

Our fists destroy the obstacles in front of us.

We chart our path with our own hands.

The fire of our souls is burning.

Ultimate fusion! Gurren Lagann!

- You got me... - You got us...

...taken for who?!

They are unique in the world.

Don't back down. Kill Em!

Get out, losers!

You lose nothing for waiting! Condemn Blaze!

You're tiring yourself out for nothing.

Impossible.

Never forget, Simon:

Believe in yourself.

Not the you I believe in, nor the me you believe in,

but believe in me who believes in you.

Big brother.

Move of mercy!

Giga

Drill

Breaker!

Farewell, my brother.

Big brother?

Big brother?

That day,

we lost something

irreplaceable.

General Adiane, I heard that all the

generals' armies are on war footing.

I implore you to...

General Adiane?

I'm listening to you.

I implore you...

...to leave me...

...fights me...

...within...

...of your army.

Tymilph was in debt to me,

but simple humans managed to kill him.

You and him disappointed me.

That's why I'm asking you to give me a chance.

You owe a debt to the Spiral King.

It seems he plans to give you a Dai-Gun.

But I don't want to get in your way.

Raining cats and dogs.

It's already been seven days.

I can't believe it.

Me neither.

I only see Kittan.

After all, we're all here because of Kittan's call.

We can't count on that soft face of Simon.

Knowing how to pilot Lagann does not make him a leader.

With a depressed guy like him commanding

us, the Gurren Brigade is in trouble.

The Super Gurren Brigade.

Not the Gurren Brigade, the Super Gurren Brigade.

You were supposed to kiss me back ten times.

Instead, you made my heart ten times emptier.

For what?

Kamina, you idiot.

Ganmen in sight to starboard!

I hate these glue pots.

- I'm going to pilot Gurren. - Thank you, Rossiu.

Where is Simon?

Are you planning to drive, Rossiu?

I trained myself. You won't get there alone.

Alright.

Simon, you're going too hard.

It's the first attack that counts.

This is what Kamina would have done.

Power is not stable.

Take this! And that!

Calm down.

Kamina never complained.

Calm down, Simon.

If you continue like this, you will die.

Kamina would not shy away.

Not Kamina.

Not Kamina!

What is happening to you?

The device loses power.

The spin?

Hold on!

- Rossiu?! How are you? - What has happened?

Lagann interrupted the fusion.

He fell?

He abandoned you to flee from the enemy?

It seemed like Lagann had gotten out of control.

Uncontrollable? Really?

- I believe. - Simon...

Why didn't it work anymore?

It starts.

Greetings.

Greetings?

To whom have I the honor?

I'm not sure I deserve any honor.

We're outside, right?

Is it rain?

It's cold. What is it?

Of the earth. You're barefoot, aren't you cold?

It's cold, mushy, and sticky.

How nice it is.

Pleasant?

Why are you like me?

You have no tail, no fangs, no scales.

And then your skin is soft.

It's normal, I'm a human being.

- A human? - That's it. A person.

What exactly is a human?

A human is...

Someone like you and me.

Someone with a head and who looks like us.

Are there others besides you?

Yes of course.

Really?

And are they all like you?

- Do you all have the same face? - No not all.

It would be weird otherwise.

Weird, really?

The rain has stopped.

You're right.

I wonder what I'm doing outside.

I do not know.

In any case, we have to get out of here.

Hold.

You can't walk barefoot.

- Put them on. - All right.

My name is Nia. And you?

My name is Simon.

What a lovely name.

THANKS.

- Tell me, Simon. - What?

What is that?

Quick, follow me.

- What is this? - A Ganmen.

They hunt down all humans on the surface.

That's why we're fighting them.

- To fight? - It's that or die.

Please, Lagann.

That works!

- Are you okay, Simon? - It's not true... Again?

Why do you refuse to obey me,

Lagan?!

Run away, Nia.

Go without looking back.

- I will hold back the Ganmen. - But...

They're killing everyone I love.

My father, my mother, and even my older brother.

I'm tired of seeing people die.

As long as no one dies, I don't care what happens to me.

Do you really want to lose your life?

If you are afraid, you must run away.

- You must not die. - I am not afraid.

You must not lie either.

Let's run away together,

All right?

More people

will not die!

I'm here too!

Kittan Stinger!

Headbutt from hell!

I finally managed to place it.

How are you?

My name is Nia.

I am the princess dauphine, the daughter of Lordgenome, the Spiral King.

Pleased to meet you.

What?

The Spiral King is the leader of our enemies.

- Yes, from our enemies! - The enemy's daughter.

- Is she a spy? - She's cute, anyway.

You're going to tell us everything we want to know.

Enjoy your food.

Enjoy your food!

It is delicious.

- Take some of this. - Yes.

It is really delicious.

Thank you, grandfather.

Are you stupid or what?

Do you think you're at a dinner with friends?

There was no point in doing so much!

I remind you that you are supposed to question him.

You look like you're full of energy.

What's your name?

My name is Kittan.

I am the eldest of the Dark Brotherhood and the leader of the Gurren Brigade.

Glad to meet you.

Cute or not, you remain our enemy.

- It's true. - Our enemy!

What is an enemy, Mr. Kittan?

He's a bad guy. Someone who deserves a beating.

A rustle? What is this?

A scolding is when you put a lousy guy...

- Poor? - Shouldn't he have questioned him?

In fact, she's the one who puts it in the pan.

Kittan isn't comfortable around girls like that.

The farm!

You are full of energy, but you are also very kind.

THANKS. I learned a lot thanks to you.

The daughter of King Spiral...

It's weird, she seems nice.

She and Simon were attacked by a Ganmen in the ravine.

Of that, we are certain.

We'll have to keep an eye on her for now.

I hope it goes well for Simon.

Now is not the time to worry.

If Dai-Gurren doesn't work again after all my repairs,

we will have bigger fish to fry than Simon.

His case is different, right?

Everyone is fighting here.

- Including you, right? - Yes.

And then Lagann no longer works.

If the reason is that he refuses to help a depressed kid,

I don't blame him.

Is it your big brother that you are sculpting?

She insisted on coming to see you.

The others spoke to me

of the horrible things my father did to people on the surface.

I understand that they hate me.

- Nia... - I don't understand.

The people here are so nice.

Why would my father try to kill you?

You are so strong, Simon. And yet, you wish to die.

I'm not strong. No way.

These sculptures are magnificent.

I understand better now.

I understand what he meant to you.

Sorry, Simon.

You do not have to apologize.

I don't think he would want you to apologize.

He always had a laugh on his face.

Whatever the situation, he looked ahead.

Behind him...

It was long before we met, Yoko.

One day, we tried to escape our village.

We were trying to reach the surface, but an earthquake buried us.

This story... I...

No, forget it.

I was afraid of dying buried alive like my parents.

But Kamina encouraged us: “Keep moving!”

And he smiled.

My hands stopped shaking.

I was able to continue digging.

If we had given up that day, we would have died.

I managed to persevere thanks to his encouragement.

I can't do anything without him.

It's wrong.

You saved me without anyone's help.

No matter how much you care about him, a dead person can't help you.

I know well.

That's why when he died,

I vowed to become a man like him.

- But I won't make it. - You must not say that.

You are Simon, not Kamina.

You need to stop thinking about the dead.

- Niah. - That's enough now.

You don't know anything about Simon or Kamina.

No doubt, but Simon is not weak.

Simon, you must exist as an individual in your own right.

I can't. I...

Don't act like you're innocent in this story.

You know who is responsible for Kamina's death.

Get off your high horse and stop lecturing him.

Who are you to say things like that?

I... I am...

I asked my father the same question:

“Who am I and why was I born?”

The next day, I woke up on the surface.

I was locked in a box.

That's when Simon came and saved me.

Why do this?

I want to know more.

On Simon, on you,

on Kamina, and on the surface.

I want to know everything.

What is going on?

There's no escape, you filthy humans.

- Are we being attacked? - I recognize this voice.

This ship, Dai-Ganzan, belongs to Tymilph.

Don't put your dirty paws on it!

That’s enough, Adiane.

What?

This is an order from Princess Nia, Lordgenome's daughter.

I forbid you from harming these people.

Impossible. What is Princess Nia doing here?

I understand better.

Tell me, Adiane.

Are you and the others here

to harm humans on the surface?

Yes. These are the orders of King Spiral.

Of my father?

The Spiral King cannot tolerate the existence

humans rising to the surface.

It is the duty of the beastmen to eradicate this waste

who dare to come to the surface.

This waste?

Humans are not trash.

I want to talk to my father about it.

Take me to him immediately!

You are annoying me.

You just have to go there alone.

What are you saying?

I have a scoop for you: you're no longer a princess.

The Spiral King chased you away.

He chased you away, threw you in the hole!

I don't know what you did, but he doesn't need you anymore.

Now I'm going to get rid of you and the trash.

Did he abandon me?

He doesn't need me anymore?

Did he abandon what he no longer needed?

Niah.

Big brother, I...

I...

You're lying, aren't you? My father would never do that.

If you don't believe me, that's your problem.

It won't stop you from dying.

Let's go.

One moment, Adiane.

The princess's screams will be more appropriate

what I have in store for him,

i.e. the aerial execution ground

that I, Cytomander, prepared for him.

What is that?

There is a gigantic object flying above Dai-Ganzan.

I also detect a high number of Ganmen, as well as a huge...

It's the big offensive, huh?

They attack when Gurren Lagann cannot be counted on.

She must serve as an example to those who challenge the Spiral King.

These are my orders.

What?

It will be a public execution.

The fate of these humans who think of defying the Spiral King

simply because they stole Dai-Ganzan

will be broadcast live

so that all humans can witness it.

He is ready to get rid of everything, including his own daughter.

This is the Spiral King.

All humans have to do is fear it.

What a load of bullshit.

For him, men and his own daughter are trash.

I hate them all!

We hate them!

We're going to show them what the Black Brotherhood is.

They don't call us beastmen hunters for nothing.

Dai-Gurren, maximum power.

We're waiting for your signal.

That's exactly what I wanted to hear, Leite.

We no longer have any other choice.

- Dayakka! - Understood.

- I'm taking care of it! Fire! - Wait, idiot! Nia is not...

It does not work...

You won't touch her.

My Shuzack doesn't fear bullets like yours.

Humans!

We're going to teach you a good lesson.

What do you think, hairless monkeys?

Here is my new ship:

Dai-Ganzan-Du!

The Kanandoma plateau will serve as your grave, humans.

Lower part damaged. We can't move anymore.

I detect a large amount of enemy Ganmen!

Protect Dai-Gurren, the rest of you.

- Protect? - How do we do?

Take them out one by one.

Deployment of the Ganmen!

Nice swing, Gros-Front.

We have to do better than him.

Take this.

What's wrong?

You're rusty, Kamina!

He completely misunderstands.

Kittan Stinger!

You're not up to it, blue guy.

Desperado Engrave!

Big brother!

Piss off!

There's too much. We can't push them all away.

Do not damage the ship further.

Get rid of the trash inside.

In close combat then?

You should worry about your own fate.

Why does my father do this?

To have fun.

His Majesty lived more than a thousand years.

Fathering and raising children is his hobby.

When they tire him, he gets rid of them, like dolls.

Dolls?

You asked him: “Why was I born?”

It was a bad idea.

It's normal that he hates you.

A doll is devoid of conscience.

- Am I a doll? - Yes.

And the life of this pretty doll will end in the sky.

Attention, stupid humans!

It's time for our amazing show.

- Look. - It is...

Impossible.

Simon!

I won't leave you Nia.

- Impossible. - You did see?

It's true that humans are insignificant.

But they all have hearts like that!

They are not dolls. And me neither!

How dare you dirty my Shuzack's body with your tendril?

I'm going to crush it for you, you little...

Nia, I'm coming.

I understand better. That's what he was talking about.

I had lost confidence.

All I had left was empty words.

All I could do was shout, “Keep moving!”

But Simon kept digging,

which allowed me to continue to look brave.

It was his strength that brought us to the surface.

That's when I realized it:

when he decides something, he never gives up.

I vowed to become a man worthy of that.

Listen, Simon.

Don't believe in the you I believe in.

Don't believe in the self you believe in.

Believe in the you who believes in yourself.

Niah!

Simon!

What do you think, Nia?

This is how these pathetic humans die.

You are wrong. I believe in Simon like he believed in Kamina.

I trust him!

You're crazy.

Niah...

Nia is waiting for me.

Lagann.

Lagan!

Watch and be terrified! Then die!

Majestic Big Chop...

Nia, I'm here to save you. Come!

Simon!

Sorry for keeping you waiting.

I understand now.

Lagann told me that too.

I understand now.

Me too.

Thanks, Simon.

You have nerve to use Dai-Ganzan

as if it belonged to you.

Lesser humans should not use a ship

belonging to their masters, the beastmen.

The great Adiane the elegant will take care of you.

You should feel flattered.

It's not true.

It's useless, you little idiot.

I'm disappointed.

I'm really disappointed in this fight, Kamina.

Will I die before he knows it?

- Rossiu! - Simon!

- We're merging! - All right!

A sort of...

What are you doing?

What? Impossible!

Name of...

What is...

Kamina is dead. For real.

But he's on my back.

In my heart! He lives in me.

If you must dig, then dig to the heavens!

Even if it's my own grave that I'm digging,

I will continue to dig.

Who do you take me for?

I'm Simon, not Kamina.

My name is Simon the Driller!

Demolition

Pl...

Take this!

Giga Drill

Breaker!

Impossible.

Is Kamina dead?

So he was dead?

King Kittan

Deluxe!

What?

Simon goes out of his way for us.

We can't just sit there and twiddle our thumbs!

Out of the question!

Severe!

Severe!

It's over!

This ship belongs to the Super Gurren Brigade.

He gave his life to give us this house.

We won't give it back for anything!

This is your Ganmen. Use it.

Thanks, Leeron!

What is going on? They suddenly found courage.

Adiane, we're going to finish them off in one fell swoop.

Let's adopt the ultimate formation of the four generals.

There are only two of us.

I will join you!

Fusion!

Do-Ten-Kai-Zan!

DAI-GAN DO-TEN-KAI-ZAN

Everyone die!

You weren't expecting that, were you?

You shouldn't have upset the Spiral King's four generals.

North South East West. The land, the sea, and the wind.

Past, present, future, the four cardinal points:

there is nothing that the Do-Ten-Kai-Zan fortress cannot control,

including the smallest pores of your skin!

Courage, everyone.

Obviously.

We are surrounded by friends. Why be afraid?

Kittan, the eldest of the Black Brotherhood.

Kiyoh!

Kiyal!

Zorthy!

- Kid. - Iraac.

Makken.

- Jorgun. - Balinbow.

Rossiu.

Boota and Yoko.

Niah. And Simon!

For who the hell

are you taking us?!

Final blow.

Giga

Drill

Breaker!

Attack of the Super Gurren Brigade!

For what?

Why am I the only survivor?

I'll make you pay, you filthy humans.

So this is Kamina's grave?

My father was the center of my world.

He was the only one I trusted.

I only relied on him.

That's why I tried to believe in him until the end.

Why was I born, in your opinion?

Nia, here.

It's for you.

I found it a long time ago

while trapped with Kamina.

It is so beautiful.

I'm not sure how to say it, but it doesn't

matter why you were born or if you're a princess.

You are the person you are now.

You just have to try to be yourself.

I will endeavor to do the same.

I will never be Kamina, but I will follow my path.

I feel like an idiot.

I was by your side all this time,

but I was the one with the least faith.

I didn't have faith in Kamina, in you, or in myself.

Yoko.

I look forward to working alongside

our new friend and our new boss.

Kamina chose you.

Raise your head for once!

We're going to keep fighting, right?

I imagine. But now it's time to laugh.

It's the best thing to do.

The Four Generals were wiped out

by a young man from the Spiral.

No worries.

He has not yet experienced true terror.

Terror

of the Spiral King.

PART TWO: THE LIGHTS IN THE SKY ARE STARS
