Original subtitles

Ignorance is a frightening thing.

You people may believe that you are in the right,

...but it is I who keeps this world safe.

I, Lordgenome, am the guardian of humanity.

Battle for Teppelin

Day Seven

I can't produce any more drills...!

Simon!

Simon, if our faith in you is what gives you your strength,

...then I'll believe in you with all my heart!

So, please! Win!

Simon!

Let's go, Nia!

Fire main cannons!

Crap! How many of these things are there?!

Quit your whining! We can't lose!

Yeah, you're damn right!

We have to protect new lives to make up for the ones that were lost!

Right! And to do that, we'll win this battle, no matter what!

A single man's rebellion spawned followers,

...took our own armaments away from us,

...and has ballooned into this army.

Do they have no fear of death?

Do they frighten you, these humans?

No, Sire. I simply want to know.

These creatures, these humans, what in the world are they?

If you wish to know that answer, keep watching, Viral.

The immortal body I gave to you is not meant for fighting.

Father...

Why do you continue this terrible fighting?

Long ago, there was once a man who fought as you do.

Unaware that his actions would bring about...

...mankind's destruction!

- Rossiu! - Simon, now's your chance!

Lagann Impact!

How amusing!

I'm not gonna lose!

Nia and every member of Team Dai-Gurren believes in me.

The me that my Bro believed in, the me that I believe in...

...isn't possibly gonna lose to the likes of you!

I should have known I couldn't trust...

...a Gunmen to do the job!

I haven't had this much fun in a long time, boy.

Now, back into the dirt with you!

Simon!

A Core Drill?!

My name is Simon.

Simon the Digger, leader of Team Dai-Gurren.

If you decide to be a wall that's standing in my way,

...there's something that will open a hole in you every time!

And that something is my drill!

I see... Your Spiral power outstripped my own.

I will leave you with this warning.

When the land comes to be overrun with ignorant apes that reach for the sky,

...the moon shall become Hell's messenger and destroy the world of the Spiral.

Father!

Farewell, Father.

I will head towards tomorrow.

You did it, Simon!

Simon!

Simon!

Simon!

GURREN LAGANN THE MOVIE

The Lights In The Sky Are Stars

Seven years since the fall of Teppelin

Kamina City, the New Capital

Dear Kamina. I hope this letter finds you well.

It is odd to ask that, isn't it?

But when I see you in the heart of the city, standing tall and pointing to the heavens,

...I feel the sudden urge to speak with you.

We are the same as always.

Simon is serving in his own way...

...as Supreme Commander of the New Government.

Apparently, the members of Team Dai-Gurren were...

...scolded again by Rossiu in the council meeting yesterday.

They are all fine people,

...but they do have their individual strengths and weaknesses.

Rossiu is the go-to person for all government-related work.

Rossiu is a serious person, so I sense his impatience sometimes.

Ah, now Leeron is another matter entirely.

His work as Science Bureau Chief keeps him extremely busy.

He says that he hates how the job is giving him wrinkles,

...but his skin is so smooth it makes me jealous.

As for Yoko...

I'm not cut out for all this council and politics stuff.

After she left Kamina City six years ago,

...I am the only one that she has gotten in touch with.

She is working as an elementary school teacher now!

She teaches children to have hope in the future!

Isn't that the most wonderful job ever?

Leyte and Makken's repair shop is doing well.

Leyte just had her third child, and has more energy than ever!

Oh, that reminds me. Speaking of babies, Dayakka and Kiyoh had one of their own.

Kamina, is this city that bears your name the city that you dreamed of?

Are our tomorrows flying true along the direction you pointed us in?

It's become beautiful, hasn't it?

This city.

Yes.

Everyone is living happy lives under the sun.

You're right.

Maybe the time is finally right to get out.

To be regular people, not a princess or the leader of Team Gurren.

To see the same things, hear the same sounds, and to laugh together.

Maybe it might be nice to have that kind of life now.

My eyes would be your eyes, and your ears would be my ears.

Maybe something like that would be nice.

Let's get married, Nia.

No way!

Y-You turned him down?!

Yes.

Why did you turn him down?!

Well, I thought that maybe two people couldn't really become the same person.

Um...

Well, that's true, but, well, that's basically what married couples are.

Anyway, he only meant it as a figure of speech!

Simon, that boy who's only good at digging tunnels and fighting in Gurren Lagann...

...spent seven years trying to get those words out!

How about you? How did they make you feel?

How did I feel?

Yes! It isn't the meaning of the words that's important, it's how they made you feel!

What a magnificent moon.

It sure is.

Bro used to talk about how he wanted to go there.

He did?

Yeah.

But at the time, we never imagined that we'd really be able to get there.

His dream has come true, hasn't it?

My dream, though...

My dream is to cover the whole surface of the world with flowers.

With flowers?

Yes. I'll irrigate the parched earth, plant seeds, and make flowers grow.

I'll plant trees and turn the brown soil green.

And then insects, animals, humans, and all sorts of other creatures will live there.

I want to make the surface a world that's bursting...

...with flowers and plants and living things.

Irrigate the land and plant seeds...

That sounds great. It's something you would do.

I'll help!

No. You have your own work to see to, Simon.

Simon, you and I are two different people.

Very, very different people.

Different people do different things.

But since they're different, I think they want to understand each other.

I want to get to know you better.

I want to be with you forever and ever and get to know you even better.

And I want you to understand me, too.

Nia...

Thank you for this ring. I really like it.

Then... You'll marry me?

Yes.

Huh? What's this?

The lunar probe Gunmen has been destroyed?!

Get verification! Destroyed by what?!

Attention, humans of Earth.

We Anti-Spiral have determined that humanity...

...has achieved Spiral Power danger level two...

...due to its attempt to reach the moon.

We hereby activate the Humanity Annihilation System.

Nia...

Usage of Spiral Power will result in the Spiral Nemesis,

...which will spell this universe's destruction.

Simon, the Core Drill you bear is the very symbol of that destruction.

Humanity's Spiral Power lay dormant when they dwelled underground,

...but Anti-Spiral sensors picked it up when you came to the surface.

Humanity must be destroyed.

Simon, your fighting is what brought this upon you.

Nia, what's wrong? What are you talking about?

In three weeks' time, the moon will leave its orbit and impact the Earth.

And that will be the end of it.

It's ironic that the human whose genes contained the Anti-Spiral factor...

...would be born as Lordgenome's daughter.

However, now that it has activated and I have become an Anti-Spiral,

...I can never be made human again.

Nia!

Nia! Where are you going?!

NIA!

An unidentified object has appeared out of thin air over Kamina City!

- The moon is Hell's Messenger? - I'm picking up one more!

What's that?

Grapearl Squadron launched!

Action at last!

Two hostiles confirmed!

It hasn't got a face... I've never seen a mecha like this before.

Let's call them Mugann, then.

That means no face, so we'll call them Mugann.

All units, scatter! Attack simultaneously from all directions!

- It absorbed them? - Impossible!

In that case, Grapearl Blade!

Handguns and blades have no effect?

What're you doing, Rossiu?!

Contact lost with Korza's Grapearl.

Damn, it's tough...

If only we had our Gunmen...

...that thing would be a pushover!

Darry! Don't be crazy!

I can still fight!

Darry!

Gurren Lagann...

We've been waiting for ya, Simon!

It's too dangerous, Commander!

It is not your job to go out and fight on the front lines!

The Supreme Commander's duty lies elsewhere!

Dumbass!

Protecting the city and the lives of the citizens! THAT is our #1 job!

Has all this peace made you soft, Rossiu?

But, sir...

Let's go, you faceless bastard!

Is that model analysis done yet?!

Team Dai-Gurren Resistance, Lordgenome Army, New Government units...

There are no matches in any of our databases!

Are these advance scouts from the Anti-Spiral?

- Simon! - Your drill, it's building up energy?

Here goes!

I'm gonna take this crappy beam of yours and shove it down your throat!

- Awesome! - Did he do it?

And one to go!

No way...!

The city!

Dispatch fire and rescue crews to the city! Keep the fire damage to a minimum!

Is that really Nia?

What's going on?

Dumb bastard! Is trashing stuff all you're good for?!

Give me back my home!

It's all your fault! Get away from us, dumbass!

The moon's gonna fall on us! What were you thinking?!

Go away! It's your fault they're attacking us!

This is...

This is what my fighting has caused?

- Give us Simon! - Make him pay for what he did!

He was never a hero!

Simon is the cause of all this!

It's his fault that the moon is falling!

This is the guy! It's all his fault!

Tear it down!

Simon's been arrested?!

- And he'll be put on trial right away. - What do arrested and trial mean?

Crap! That Rossiu shouldn't get too big for his britches!

Does he really think it's Simon's fault?

I don't know. But the citizens definitely calmed down when they saw Simon arrested.

I'm not surprised. It's because of Simon that humanity came up to the surface.

Yeah! How could they forget all that they owe him?

Rossiu and all those other...

We don't owe you anything!

It's because of you guys that the surface is getting attacked!

Don't you have better things to do than sitting in here drinking,

...Mr. Government Bigshots?

- Stop it! - Get out! Get out!

For now, we gotta suck it up.

- It'll blow over soon enough. - I hope you're right.

Doesn't this remind you of something?

The way the citizens are acting is just like we did when we fought the Spiral King.

What kind of crap is that?

Are you saying that Simon is taking the Spiral King's place this time?

No way, I don't buy it.

I will now hand down the sentence.

The defendant, Simon, is hereby sentenced to death.

- Hey, hold on a second! - Get real!

- What the hell?! - This don't make no sense!

I will have quiet in my courtroom.

If no one is held responsible, the populace will never be satisfied.

Who do you suggest we hold responsible, if not Supreme Commander Simon?

But that don't mean you have to have him put to death!

This may quiet down the unrest for now, but what about afterwards?

What do you plan to do about the falling moon?

An evacuation plan for that very purpose is already underway.

To ensure humanity's survival, we must quell this foolish disturbance at once,

...and then take calm, swift action.

Under Chief Advisor Rossiu, no, New Supreme Commander Rossiu...

Bro... If you were in my shoes right now, what would you do?

Former Supreme Commander Simon, By Reason of Major War Crimes,

...SENTENCED TO DEATH

To Be Held In Lincarne Prison Until Sentence Carried Out

Even if we eat, the moon's gonna hit pretty soon and end everything, right?

Yeah, we have some Supreme Commander to thank for that.

Since we're underground, won't we be the only survivors?

Moron, this place ain't set up to be a shelter.

Oopsie. So sorry about that, Supreme Comamnder.

Sorry, I spilled your food, Supreme Commander.

What's the matter? Ain't you hungry, Supreme Commander?

Don't try to act all cool and composed, Supreme Comander.

Dig a hole!

Are you helpless without your drill?

Cannonball squadron!

So sorry, I got no feathers, so I can't fly!

V-Viral...

I can't stand to look at you.

What's your problem, Viral? You call yourself a Beastman?!

You, too, Simon. Why don't you fight back?

Viral...

- Get him! - Suits me fine!

- That's the way! - Don't let him win, Viral!

How the mighty have fallen.

Abandoned by your woman, betrayed by your friends,

...and thrown into this prison at the bottom of the earth.

You may be the man who defeated the Spiral King, but I almost feel sorry for you.

I don't mind. There's nothing left that I have to do.

Rossiu will take the reins from here.

This just means that Simon the Digger went back to his old pit.

No, that's not exactly true. I don't even have my drill anymore.

I don't have anything to dig with.

Yeah, this is where I belong.

Gurren Lagann: The Movie ~The Lights in the Sky Are Stars~

It's a success. We've activated the bio-computer.

Very well. Good work.

Now, wake up, Lordgenome,

...one-time guardian of humanity.

As you predicted, the Humanity Annihilation System has been activated.

And so you hastily dug up my coffin and dragged out the corpse inside, eh?

If human civilization flourished, the annihilation system would activate.

Fearing that, you locked humanity away underground.

No, you are now just a bio-computer cultivated from Lordgenome's cells.

I won't take you to task for actions taken in your past life.

I want to ask you about what will happen in the future.

What are the Anti-Spiral?

Is there a way that humanity might survive?

So, the Spiral races once waged a space war against the Anti-Spiral...

Yes, they did.

The Anti-Spiral were originally a Spiral race.

But they believed that a Spiral Power runaway would destroy the universe,

...so they revolted against the other Spiral races.

The Spiral forces led by Lordgenome were crushed,

...and the Earth fell under Anti-Spiral control.

Lordgenome surrendered, as well, and kept humanity, a Spiral lifeform, subjugated.

Then is there no way that we can survive?

No. That's not true just yet.

Amazing...

This is humanity's last hope.

Stand by for an urgent message from the government.

I repeat, stand by for an urgent message from the government.

My fellow citizens.

The surface will be severely damaged by an attack involving dropping the moon,

...carried out by unknown enemies calling themselves the Anti-Spiral.

In response, the New Government pressed charges against former Commander Simon.

As a result of his trial today, he was sentenced to death.

Teach!

It's all right. Let's believe in the New Government.

To protect its citizens from this impact,

- ...we have a massive evacuation plan. - What are those guys doing?

Citizens will be evacuated to 36 giant underground shelters around the world.

Residents in the Kamina City area, which has no shelter,

...will temporarily leave the stratosphere in the Superdreadnought Space Dai-Gun.

And this is that Space Dai-Gun! The Arc-Gurren!

Have faith in the New Government! We will not be defeated by the Anti-Spiral!

We shall survive, no matter what!

- All right! - This will let us survive!

Rossiu!

Rossiu!

Rossiu!

Rossiu!

Evacuation percentage of all Gekorn region areas, 68%.

Sakunga region, 32%.

Behama region, 44%.

Evacuation of Kamina City residents aboard the Arc-Gurren is at 90%.

Good. So the evacuation plan's proceeding smoothly, huh?

Yeah, us old-timers don't have anything to do.

Maybe it'd be smart to quit the government right away and be with my family like you did.

Talk about pathetic...

- What the hell?! - An all-out attack?!

These guys are coming and going as they please!

Dayakka! I'm done with sitting on the sidelines!

I have my own way of doing things.

- What was that? - A Mugann beam attack!

Parliament Tower has been heavily damaged!

A second wave is coming in!

The attacks are concentrated underneath Parliament Tower.

I don't believe it, have they detected the Arc-Gurren's presence?

It's possible.

They might be attacking because they detected a powerful Spiral Power source.

Grapearl squadron! Intercept using Tornado Shield warheads!

- What's this? - It was in Lordgenome's head's data files.

It looks like an energy shield.

It's a Spiral Power shield. This is a Spiral battleship.

Naturally, it is equipped with a defensive shield.

Citizen boarding is complete!

Right! Don't worry about destroying the hatches!

Take us up as-is! Let's go!

- Well, it looks like we've been left behind. - Looks that way.

This is boring.

To think that the death of the man who defeated the Spiral King would be so dull...

I'm fine with it. Just so long as humanity survives.

Do you really mean that?

Yeah. You should escape, too, Viral.

With your strength, you should be able to escape a prison like this.

Looks like you've really given up.

That light...!

I can't do anything. I've left everything in Rossiu's hands.

That's the best way to ensure humanity's survival.

Rossiu can't save humanity.

He can't even save himself.

Nia...

Even if they take shelter underground, when the moon hits,

...the Earth itself will be cracked open.

Even if they flee into space, the end result will be the same.

It can't be...

Enemy units! Two giant Mugann, thousands of smaller units!

We have anticipated every aspect of Rossiu's plans.

They can struggle all they like, but humanity cannot escape its fate.

What?

The only thing that awaits Spiral lifeforms is absolute despair.

Nothing more.

You're going to kill me?

That is the final step of the Humanity Annihilation System.

Viral!

Don't worry about me... It'll take more than this to destroy this immortal body...

...I got from the Spiral King.

Don't underestimate me.

Compared to the tail-lashings I got from Adiane, this is a bug bite!

Stop it, Nia. I'm your target, remember?

I should thank you, Nia.

I was scared.

When the citizens destroyed Bro's statue...

When they mobbed Parliament Tower, the rage in me was about to explode.

I felt a strange power welled up inside me.

Just like Lordgenome.

That's why I kept that power locked away.

If sacrificing me was the price for peace, I was okay with it.

Or so I thought.

But now you've taught me that I still have work to do, Nia.

Go on, if you think you can kill me, give it your best shot.

But I won't die.

In order to save humanity, I refuse to die.

Such nonsense.

I don't see you for a while, and you go and turn into a boring bitch...

...Nia.

When Simon gets like that, no one can stop him.

Shouldn't you know that better than anyone?

I've discarded my memories of the past.

I'm the Anti-Spiral's Messenger.

Hey! Come back here!

I was planning to slug you one if you looked too pathetic.

- But I guess I don't need to. - Yoko...

The underground shelters are useless. Rossiu's group is in danger, too.

I heard.

Maybe, but finding a way out of these no-win situations...

Yeah! That's how Team Dai-Gurren rolls!

That's what I was waiting to hear.

Guys!

But we couldn't wait for you to give the order,

...so we brought all our goodies!

Leyte kept 'em all in working order on the sly.

Did we go too far?

Kittan!

Gurren Lagann, huh? It's got the same brazen look on its face as ever.

Viral, is that you?

- You're in bad shape! - I'm immortal.

- What? - How come he's here?

- Care to pilot it, Viral? - What?

You're supposed to observe, right? I've got a box seat with your name on it.

Think about what you're asking.

Boota! You're okay!

That means the gang's all here.

Boy, Boota, you're as tiny as ever.

Okay, let's go! I'll launch you in the backup moon probe...

...from the Arc-Gurren launch tube next door!

- A lunch? - Now I'm getting excited!

Damn it! We keep shooting them down, but more keep coming!

Gimmy, calm down! We have to stay focused!

- Damage? - Severe damage to Block 357.

Now closing bulkheads.

Grapearl Squadron strength down to 53%.

Damn these monsters!

The moon's rate of descent is increasing! Estimated time to impact, 20 hours!

Hold out, no matter what!

If this ship is destroyed here, all that we've done will have been for...

What happened?!

Spiral Power falling. Spiral lifeform readings are rapidly weakening.

They're what?!

The people are worried.

The people aboard the ship are worried because of the attack.

No, so are we.

It can't be... How could a machine be influenced by human emotions?

No, that might be the case...

If that's true, is this my limit?

Don't give up, Rossiu!

It can't be! Simon?!

The instant you give up, it's all over!

Don't you remember? This drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens!

Viral, let's do the you-know-what!

You're giving me orders already?

No, it's just a suggestion.

In that case, I accept!

The Spiral Path, in which the twin paths of man and beast wind and intersect!

Join with yesterday's enemy to smash fate!

And grab hold of tomorrow's path with our own hands!

Destiny Combining! Gurren Lagann!

Who the hell do you think I am?!

- We're not gonna let Simon and Viral... - ...hog all the glory!

Double Boomerang Spiral!

Look at how many Kittan's team destroyed in their first space attack.

Simon... You came for us.

Isn't that wonderful?

The rest of Team Dai-Gurren is here, too!

There, there. Anne can tell, too.

Spiral energy is recovering!

This might be enough to do the trick.

Simon, time for the Arc-Gurren's secret trick! Let's combine!

- Combine? - Combine?

Damn!

The Arc-Gurren can't take much more of this...

Rossiu, don't whine!

We've always held out until the very last second.

It's just like when we stole Dai-Gurren! And when we took Teppelin!

We hung in there until the last second and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat!

And that's what we'll keep doing... As many times as it takes!

I swear, it's never a dull moment with you around!

Let's do it, Arc-Gurren!

- Simon? - Is he gonna ram them?

Move it, move it, make a hole!

This is... how it combines with Gurren Lagann?

We're getting a massive influx of Spiral energy!

Assuring integrity of living quarters!

Okay, Simon! Hit it!

Giga Drill, spin on!

Smashing through both karma and fate!

The screams of life echo through the galaxy!

Raging Wave Combining! Arc-Gurren Lagann!

Arc-Gurren Lagann

Oh, so they can combine, too, huh?

C'mon!

Arc-Gurren Lagann, full power!

Let's do it, Viral!

Suits me fine!

Have a taste of the Space-time Shattering...

...Burst Spinning...

...Punch!

What's that hole?

Looks like a hole in the fabric of space and time.

He sent it flying to the far end of the space-time continuum.

Is that Simon's power?

This is the awakening of Spiral Power, isn't it?

The moon!

Impossible! The moon was a gigantic Gunmen?

- What the hell?! - I can't believe it!

- Oh crap, crap, crap! - All units, retreat!

- Is everyone all right? - Somehow.

Stand firm! It's just big, that's all!

- Simon! - Ahead!

Simon!

It'll take more than that to take me out!

Oh, no! It's going to punch the Earth!

Like hell it will!

Super Spiral engine output at maximum!

We're falling to pieces!

This is an emergency.

I will attempt to forcibly infiltrate Cathedral Lazengann's cyber core.

What did you say, Lordgenome?

- Lordgenome?! - Lordgenome?!

Don't worry, it's a bio-computer that we generated from his cells.

It's not like we completely brought him back to life.

Disgusting...

It was necessary.

Is that you, Viral?

Don't be angry. I must say, this is a rather fascinating experience.

I see you've changed, Spiral King.

Yes, perhaps I have.

Perhaps it's because I've been set free from the yoke of my flesh.

Look, can you hack it or can't you?

It is worth trying.

Hacking!

Lordgenome Head has begun hacking the enemy system.

Which way? This way?

Don't need that!

Decryption complete.

What's all this?

Insert your source of Spiral Power here. The moon will come under your control.

I'll be able to control something that big?

Of course. That is my ultimate weapon, the Cathedral Lazengann

Interesting. It'll be your specialty, Simon, stealing an enemy Gunmen.

I say we do it.

You have it wrong. We're taking back humanity's guardian deity.

- Yes, sir! - Let's do it, everyone!

Arc-Gurren Lagann!

GIGA DRILL BREAK!

That's the heart of the machine, huh?

We're nearly out of time! Go!

- That's... - It's Nia, Simon!

- If she doesn't move, she'll be crushed! - It doesn't matter!

If it means protecting humanity, I'll defeat any enemy!

That's what I was meant to do!

Even if that enemy is Nia!

What's wrong?!

So, this is your limitation.

You hesitate to kill me.

Humans delude themselves, calling that doubt love.

But that doubt will be humanity's downfall.

Your useless struggling ends here.

Nia, you're wrong.

You're the one who has doubts, Nia.

What foolishness... I can kill you whenever I choose.

If that's true... If that's true, why are you wearing that ring?

What is...

It's your will. Your desire to not let go of the past.

Oh, that's it. I finally get it now.

Getting me to kill you here was the final trap to inflict ultimate despair on me.

But you stopped me.

And it's not just that. You wanted me to save you.

When you appeared to me, beneath that expressionless mask...

...was the real you, shouting to me for help.

Simon! Help me!

I'm right here!

I'm sorry. I should have heard your screams sooner.

You've been fighting it all this time, haven't you?

You're wrong. I was...

I'm gonna grab hold of your future with my own two hands!

So get out of the way! Please, Nia!

Look, Simon!

We've successfully taken control of the Superdreadnought Gunmen!

It's returning to its former orbit!

- He sure pulled a victory out of his hat. - I thought we were goners that time.

I'll never be able to measure up to you.

Thank you, Nia.

But this will not change your fate.

What?

With the defusing of the Humanity Annihilation System,

...the main Anti-Spiral fleet will arrive in this galaxy.

The fight isn't over yet, huh?

If we win, will you go back to your old self?

I will be recalled to the Anti-Spiral homeworld...

...so that my data on you can be analyzed.

The likelihood of that is infinitely close to zero.

Maybe, but it isn't zero.

As far as I'm concerned, that makes it the same as a 100% chance.

You will come to get me?

Yeah. Who the hell do you think I am?

I am being recalled... to the Anti-Spiral homeworld.

NIA!

- What's that? - What is it this time?!

I've pinpointed the location of the Anti-Spiral homeworld.

Transfer the bridge to the Cathedral Lazengann at once.

I will set the dimensional coordinates...

...and bring the Spiral Realm Perceptual Teleportation System online.

Simon! Lordgenome says we can reach the enemy's stronghold!

Good. Then we'll go there. Nia is there, too.

This time, we're taking the fight to them.

Gurren Lagann the Movie ~The Lights in the Sky Are Stars~

Transport Gunmen docking with and transfer of...

...evacuee living quarters to the surface is underway.

All systems green.

Super Spiral radar is online.

Cathedral Lazengann, Now Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann

No. 1 Bridge

A Gunmen the size of a moon can be run from such a small system,

...not to mention being capable of teleportation...

What kind of monsters were these Spiral races?

You're pretty monstrous yourself, Leeron, being able to run this stuff so quickly.

Oh, my! You were the one who made me this way, Simon.

Sure, sure...

Where did Rossiu go?

Well, he...

This things are scary big. (Inside Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann)

They were lying around (Space Gunmen Hangar)

in this behemoth's hangar. (Space Gunmen Hangar)

Looks like your Gunmen were these things' mobile cockpits.

I guess it means that we need things that big to fight the Anti-Spiral.

- What just happened? - Viral came outta thin air!

Moron. In a ship this big, you gotta get around using short warps.

I don't expect you to simply let bygones be bygones.

Plus, we Beastmen were created through cloning, so we lack Spiral genes.

But the Earth is still our homeworld.

I want you to understand that it isn't just humans who want to protect it.

Well, well! If it isn't Viral of the Lordgenome Army!

Listen to you, bein' all modest!

You don't have to bow and scrape. You were handpicked by Simon.

That makes you the same as the rest of us.

We're about to launch a frontal assault on the enemy's stronghold.

We can't waste time worrying about the little things.

Sounds good. It'll be interesting.

Good to have you.

- Just a minute. - Don't forget about us, okay?

What, you two are coming, too?

There weren't any jumbo Grapearls,

...but I did find some mass-production models they could use.

Space Gunmarls. Take good care of them. (Mass-production Lazengann Space Gunmarl)

This isn't just about rescuing Nia. The fate of the Earth hinges on this battle.

That's the Grapearl Squadron's mission, so it's only natural that we should go.

- Mission? - I never eat that before!

- This is a brawl! A brawl! - Yeah, a brawl!

A brawl?

That's right. It's the biggest brawl in the universe,

...started by a guy trying to save his lady love.

Damn...

I know the fate of the Earth is on the line, but part of me is excited.

I never shoulda held on to being a government bigshot in the first place.

That's for sure.

Yoko, you're one smart cookie.

Everyone figures out their path in life at their own pace.

It's different for everyone.

That's a school teacher for ya! Now you can get away with saying stuff like that!

You're overlooking something, Kittan.

Team Dai-Gurren never would have come this far if it weren't for you.

Simon pulled us from above, and you pushed and shoved us from below.

That's the way I see it.

I'm happy that you came back, Yoko.

It just isn't Team Dai-Gurren without your boobs, you know?

- Right, guys? - Yeah!

You morons! I'll make you stand out in the hall, got it?

Still, I gotta wonder. How far are we gonna go?

- That's easy. - As far as it takes!

- Kiyoh, I need to talk to... - You can go.

That's what it's about, right?

Really?

This is Team Dai-Gurren's last big fight, right?

How can Littner Village's Dayakka sit on the sidelines?

I'm so lucky to have you!

I'm so lucky I married you!

You big dummy. Make sure you protect the Earth.

And make sure you come home safe to me, okay?

I will! I promise!

My work is done.

Rossiu! Are you in there, Rossiu?!

Rossiu!

Stay away! I will atone for my own sin by my own hand.

In the end, all I was doing was dancing to the Anti-Spiral's tune.

I walked right into their trap by sentencing you to death...

...and almost losing the Earth and Arc-Gurren.

I'm a fool of epic proportions!

Moron, what are you saying?!

At least let me face death on my own terms.

Rossiu...

What sins?! Everything you did, you did for humanity!

You worked yourself ragged to think of a way to save humanity!

I know that better than anyone.

If you call that a sin, then no one is innocent in this world.

Kinon...

Good for you. You have someone who will slug you one.

I lost my way once, too. But I was punched, and I snapped out of it.

I had someone there who would hit me.

If you make a mistake, you can try again.

Rossiu, I believe in you.

So you should believe in yourself, too.

I think that's the only way there is to beat absolute despair.

We can still go down the same path.

Am I right?

Dimensional anchors have penetrated imaginary space.

All ahead slow!

It actually came out!

So, that's the real moon, huh?

With this here, this mega-behemoth can leave...

...without worrying about any effect on Earth.

Take care of Earth, Rossiu.

I'll keep her safe, no matter what happens. I believe in both you and me.

Sheesh, I get left out again, huh?

YOU GUYS HAD BETTER COME HOME SAFE, GOT IT?!

Sorry, sorry!

Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann, launch!

Spiral Realm Perceptual Teleportation System, activate!

Let's go. This is our final battle!

The Anti-Spiral homeworld has evaded Super Spiral scans by being...

...located in a pocket universe that they created between dimensions.

They would not have expected anyone to try locating it using this method.

We searched for their stronghold during our war with them,

...but we never located the Anti-Spiral homeworld.

It is for that reason that the Spiral races were defeated by them.

Even this ship was stolen by them and disguised as the moon,

...and was equipped with the Humanity Annihilation System.

What we call the universe is constructed on ambiguity.

It only becomes a fixed reality when observed.

That is a fundamental law of the universe.

Even in a pocket universe,

...an object that has been observed can be picked up on a Spiral scan.

What kind of magic mumbo jumbo is that?

He means that the only thing we were able to detect was Nia's ring.

Basically, Simon and Nia's love uncovered their hidden universe, right?

Love conquers all, you mean?

Protecting the universe with love and spunk. Sounds like Team Dai-Gurren to me.

We're about to come out of warp.

Hear me, foolish heirs to the Spiral races.

You who would dare to unbalance the equilibrium of this universe.

What's that voice?

The Anti-Spiral...

That voice is the Anti-Spiral?

Signal detected on radar! Massive enemy fleet approaching from behind the light!

I can't see a thing!

Stay calm.

If the enemy's shown themselves, it just means that we'll intercept them.

Damn straight!

Yeah!

It is the karma of Spiral races to cling to life as you struggle and suffer.

When Spiral lifeforms give themselves over to the pleasure of evolution,

...it causes destruction in this universe.

Experience firsthand the gravity of that sin.

What the hell is that?!

I don't believe it! Is that... a tsunami?

But in space, how...

How can there be a tsunami in space?!

The Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann is sinking!

That's what I'm saying! How can we be sinking in space?!

It isn't water. They're waves of ultra-compressed space!

Gabal, take us up!

I can't! Engine output isn't increasing!

- What's wrong, Simon?! - I don't know!

It's like... my strength is being drained away!

What's happening?!

It would appear that this is a Death Spiral Field.

Death Spiral?

Spiral Power is absorbed and converted into mass.

The more Spiral Power we use, the denser this region becomes.

What?! Where are we being attacked from?!

It's the pressure! We're being crushed by the pressure!

This is bad! Everybody, fall back to the Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann!

Space Gunmen unit has docked!

Spiral Energy down to 30%!

Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann can't maintain current configuration!

It reverted to its cruising configuration, huh?

Its energy loss is minimized this way.

But it cuts our combat capability in half.

Are you kidding me?

What's that?

Zooming in.

Why, those are Laganns!

What the hell is all that, Leeron?

Those are Spiral warriors who once faced the Anti-Spiral in battle.

This means that there were others besides us who made it this far?

Indeed it does, foolish people of the Spiral.

Do not believe yourselves to be special.

In the battle between Spiral races and Anti-Spiral that has crossed the eons,

...you are nothing more than paltry, insignificant beings.

Now, behold the history of the Spiral races' defeat.

You are in the Galactic Spiral Abyss. The Spiral graveyard.

High-order energy reading detected from the deepest area!

We're being slowly pulled in!

The Death Spiral Machine. That is what is generating this field.

It's killed that many Laganns?

We'll be crushed flat by the water pressure. No, the SPACE pressure.

It's a veritable space graveyard, all right.

Don't we have any options?

We'll smash that Death Spiral Machine!

That's how Team Dai-Gurren rolls!

Assuming the ship's energy lasts long enough to get us there.

There's no other way!

You know what that means, right? YOU are what drives our Spiral engines!

I know! That's why I have no choice!

Boota! Boota's giving off Spiral Power!

It is a mutation resulting from the influence of Simon's Spiral Power.

Seven years of pent-up growth energy is being converted into Spiral Power.

Boota, you can do it! You're a full member of Team Dai-Gurren, too!

The Death Spiral Machine is surrounded by a region of ultra-ultra-dense space.

Energy that was converted to mass is reconverted into energy around the device.

There's a powerful energy field around the machine.

We will fire Super Spiral missiles into the field to breach it.

That will complete the mission.

How are the Super Spiral missiles coming?

Simon is burning himself out. Two is all we'll get.

I can't believe it, a Giga Drill broke...

Get it replaced ASAP! We don't have much time!

Simon! What's wrong?!

I'm okay. I'm still good to go.

We have visual on Death Spiral Machine. Will enter firing range momentarily.

- That's what I've been waiting for! - Super Spiral missile status?

Ready to go.

Enemy mechanism is now within firing range!

FIRE!

It was crushed!

But we ran strength calculations for the missile casing!

The density was even higher than we calculated?

Leyte! Beef up the other Super Spiral missile's casing! In one minute!

Already on it!

Spiral Energy has reached zero.

Simon! Do you read me? Simon!

It's all right. He's alive.

But the enemy's absorbing his Spiral Energy faster than he can produce it.

I'm sorry, Simon. If I had Spiral Power, I'd...

The power's back on!

It's the backups. There's no telling how long they'll last.

Crap! Are we gonna sit here helpless as we get crushed?

Leyte.

Load the Super Spiral warhead onto my Space Gunmen.

Hold on there, Yoko. That's MY job.

- No way! Let us! - Yeah! We'll do it!

I can't let you do that.

Leyte, which of our Gunmen can withstand pressure the best?

Space King Kittan in Dan-Gunmen mode.

You heard the lady.

This is the last Super Spiral Missile that Simon worked himself to death to make.

We can't let it go to waste.

This is a suicide mission?

Aren't you afraid of dying?

It's no fair. I want to be like you and choose to go out in a blaze of glory...

But I just can't.

Gimmy...

What are you, some kinda moron?

Show me the person who ain't afraid of dying!

But I got no choice! This is all I'm good at!

We do this because we WANT to!

You gotta move forward, and that goes double when you're scared!

I'll just say this. It's because you guys are here that I can get crazy.

I can move forward because you guys are there behind me.

If our system was for Simon to pull from above and me to push from below,

...it worked because you were there pushing ME from behind.

I'm looking forward to seeing how far you guys will go.

Yoko.

Sorry. That's just me thinking of myself, same as always.

You dummy. Don't apologize at a time like this.

Thanks.

I ain't gonna say some showy crap like, Later, buddy!

I'll be seeing ya soon, you bozos!

We're counting on you...

That's it, huh? Now, fire missile!

Crap! Why'd they have to bust NOW?

Explosion confirmed inside Spiral conversion field!

Did he do it?

No, the Death Spiral Machine is still intact.

Kittan...

You died for nothing, you dumb bastard...

Not so fast! What's that energy reading?

From the size, it's... the Gunmen that was inside the Space Gunmen!

My King Kittan is still doin' fine!

I borrowed one of Gurren Lagann's drills as a good luck charm!

And I'm gonna put it to good use!

Kittan!

This is Simon's soul! Team Dai-Gurren's soul!

Humanity's soul! No, it's MY soul!

You think it's gonna be wiped out by the likes of you?!

KING KITTAN GIGA DRILL BREAK!

So this is the power of the Spiral, huh?

Okay, I'm impressed...

This operation had a zero percent chance of succeeding.

But it seems that theoretical calculations are pointless where you are concerned.

What's happening?

It's an immense... An unbelievable immense Spiral energy reading.

With the destruction of the Death Spiral Machine,

...this dark sea is being converted back into Spiral energy.

It is the logical outcome.

With this much energy at our disposal,

...reaching the enemy's pocket universe will be child's play.

Our Super Spiral gauges are climbing!

Ten thousand! A hundred thousand! One million!

Simon, we're ready to go!

Kittan... I accept your last wish.

Let's do this.

Transform!

Our friend's hopes and dreams are etched into its body...

Ultra Spiral Superdreadnaught Gunmen

Transforming the infinite darkness into light!

Unmatched in heaven and Earth... One machine, equal to the gods!

Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann

We're gonna show you the power of the human race!

As if little pebbles like those will work on us!

Gurren Boomerang!

Super Galaxy Mega Cutter!

I hate to interrupt, but that is quite enough, man of the Spiral.

What?!

You would sacrifice one of your own in order to escape the sea of darkness.

In order to survive, you destroy without a second thought.

Such is the karma of the people of the Spiral.

Spiral Power is the force which binds together lifeforms and the universe.

A single lifeform is capable of drawing forth the power of the infinite universe.

However, no lifeform is capable of controlling such power.

This is the cold, hard truth of this universe.

The Spiral Power will run out of control,

...and the energy that erupts out of the lifeform's body will become a galaxy.

When this Spiral Energy begins to run out of control,

...it will instantly spawn as many galaxies as there are lifeforms.

These mega-galaxies would then devour each other, forming a black hole,

...and then this universe would return to nothingness.

This is the Spiral Nemesis.

The uncontrolled process of evolution will destroy the universe in a single instant.

I don't believe it... It can't be.

Simon, it's an enemy trick! Snap out of it!

A lifeform lacking Spiral Energy would not understand.

But either way, your fate will be the same.

What?

An extradimensional labyrinth.

Spend your lives trapped forever in this hell of infinite possibility.

How's it coming, Simon?

Just a little further, Bro.

I'm counting on ya, Simon. Your drill is the only thing I can count on.

This is awesome!

That went off without a hitch, Simon!

Can you believe this?

With this much loot, we'll be able to live the high life for a while!

Here ya go! C'mon, don't be shy!

This is your cut, blood brother!

Sure.

Well? Wasn't it a good idea to get out of Giha Village?

We're still underground, but we can live like kings here under the Capital!

Yeah!

We'll never have it as good as the Beastmen, but stealing their valuables in secret...

...sure makes our lives here pretty comfy.

You dig, I steal.

Here's to a long partnership, Simon!

Sure thing, Bro!

Dear Kamina.

The tomorrow that you pointed out to us has given us strength.

That is why I am able to believe.

That Simon, and all the others, will build a new tomorrow.

How fascinating, Irregular.

You are reintegrating your information by recalling past memories?

Most impressive. But your effort is wasted.

The Spirals who came to rescue you are all trapped in extradimensional space.

As long as their awareness perceives the possibilities, they will never escape.

Nor can they invoke any Spiral Energy.

Our battle against the Spiral races is fruitless.

We inflict ultimate despair again and again,

...yet some other fool will appear again in some obscure corner of the universe.

We are tired of this state of affairs.

But if we are able to decipher the resistant factors within you,

...it will be possible to completely eliminate them.

Now, we are going to read your information.

Simon!

We're sorry! What we did was wrong! Forgive us!

Okay? Look, I'm on my knees!

Have mercy on us! What we did was wrong!

We'll do whatever you say! If you say to bow a million times, we'll do it!

We're sorry, we're sorry, we're sorry, we're sorry!

So please, don't kill us! Just spare our lives!

We're sorry, we're sorry, forgive us!

We're sorry, we're sorry, forgive us!

We're sorry, we're sorry, forgive us!

What's the matter, Simon?

You lose your drill?

There's another Bro...

Dumbass!

The bad reputation of Team Gurren echoes far and wide in Giha Village!

Its badass leader is a man of indomitable spirit, a paragon of masculinity!

As if there could be more than one of the mighty Kamina!

But there's two of you here.

Exactly! Pick the one you prefer.

But that's crazy!

Don't you remember? You were the one who was the method to my madness!

The one who made my big talk more than words!

Your drill oughta be totally different from that pebble over there.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, forgive me!

Your drill is right here.

You can't keep wasting time in here forever!

What's that drill of yours meant to do?

Bro? Is it really you?

Hey, what are you doing?!

Start bowing, too!

Bow and beg and scrape and pretend to apologize...

...to get them to turn a blind eye and we'll get through this!

If they let us go, we can always come up with something else!

- Look, just bow and apologize! - My...

My drill is...

My drill...

...is the drill that's gonna pierce the heavens!

My drill is my soul.

Get going, Simon.

Don't let the what-if's, maybe's and if-only's distract you.

The one thing that you chose yourself, THAT is the truth of your universe.

Yeah. You're right. That's exactly right.

Hey, don't you go forgetting about me.

- Who are you again? - Kittan of the Black Siblings!

Did you forget again?!

Moron. Like I could ever forget you.

- What the hell, man? - Gotcha, didn't I?

When the hell did you get taller than me?

Wow, you're right!

Time for me to leave, Bro.

Yeah.

This time it's goodbye for real. Get going, blood brother.

This isn't goodbye. You're always with me, right?

Yeah!

Let's go, buddy!

My name is Yoko. Yoko the Tornado.

A bounty hunter who hunts down the bad guys.

I'm Yoko, this year's Miss Littner!

I'm Yoko Dragunov, top dog in the Galactic Sharpshooting Tournament.

That ring looks wonderful on you.

Thanks.

Well, I'm off.

Sell! Sell!

Here, Daddy...

Oh, now I get it.

I was having a sappy dream, too.

You waste your time struggling, Irregular.

No matter how deeply you probe my body, you will never be able to defeat them.

He will come. You can be sure of that.

I'm here, Nia. Just like I promised.

Sentient lifeforms can't possibly escape from an extradimensional labyrinth!

Don't underestimate us!

We don't care about time or space or extradimensional whatevers.

We don't give a damn about any of that.

Force your way down a path YOU chose to take, and do it YOUR way!

That's how Team Dai-Gurren rolls!

Even when trapped by the cycle of rebirth,

...the dreams we left behind will open the door!

Even if the infinite universe stands in our way...

...the seething of our blood will determine what will be!

We'll break through time and space...

...to grab hold of our own path!

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Who the hell do you think we are?!

This is surprising.

No Spiral race has ever made it this far.

Being exposed to such Spiral power,

...it is no surprise that our messenger was made irregular.

As you wish.

I will fight you on an even playing field,

...using the same form that you find such comfort in.

What does he mean?

It is their way.

They are trying to inflict absolute despair on us...

...by fighting and defeating us on equal terms.

Lordgenome, your body...

We are in a Super Spiral Universe, where thought is given form.

This is only a temporary body, but allow me to join you in this fight.

I'd be honored.

Nia. I don't believe I have the right to act as your father after all I've done,

...but you have done well.

Thank you, Father.

Have you snapped out of your 1000-year doldrums, Spiral King?

I am no king. Right now, I am but a simple warrior.

Just as you are, Viral.

Yes, sir!

Is that all you have...

...Spiral race?

I'll handle this!

- Is that a... - It can't be!

That is the Anti-Spiral's homeworld!

She is correct.

We Anti-Spiral were once a Spiral race like yourselves.

But when we learned that the evolution of Spiral Power...

...would lead to the destruction of the universe,

...we annihilated all those who possessed the power of the Spiral,

...and drove the few surviving lifeforms to the far corners of the universe.

We halted our own evolution...

...and locked ourselves away in this pocket universe.

On our homeworld, we sealed away our bodies and any possibility of evolution.

This ugly form is the symbol of our determination!

- You packed your brothers... - ...onto your homeworld...

...to try to protect the universe?

Damn it!

Eat this! And this! And this!

A waste of effort! This universe is under our complete control!

Your chances of winning here are zero!

We'll decide for ourselves what our chances are!

How naive!

No matter how mightily you struggle, you will never get all that you desire!

You never comprehend the significance of your actions!

Yes we do!

Why do you fight us, then?

The irregular that you are trying to save is a virtual lifeform we created.

If we are destroyed, she will vanish with us!

Do you understand that?!

What?!

Failing to understand even such an obvious causal relationship,

...you stumble blindly onwards!

Why do you not see that such instinct will lead to the destruction of the universe?!

Foolish creatures who are drunk on your Spiral Power...

Do you, who panic over the loss of a mere irregular, possess reasoning ability like ours?

We were prepared to defend the universe...

...by defeating our former fellow Spirals and halting our bodies' evolution!

Do you possess reasoning ability that is on par with ours?!

We say no!

No! No! No! No! No!

Not in the least!

You possess neither will!

Nor resolve!

Nor reason!

You use your Spiral Power to satisfy your own desires, and have grown drunk on it!

That is the Spiral races' fundamental limitation!

It is for that reason that we must exterminate you!

So, that is your homeworld, is it?

Sis! Sis!

W-Wait Kiyal! What's the emergency?!

Just come on!

Look! That!

What in the world is that monster?

W-What is that?!

I'm getting a reading on the Perception Teleportation System!

We're connected to the pocket universe via a space-time teleportation bypass.

That's the Anti-Spiral?

And now, man of the Spiral, your spirit, your final source of strength,

...has been broken.

Now, die with dignity!

It's got Lagann!

My spirit has been broken? Who told you that?

Right. No matter how difficult it may be, Simon will never waver.

The Simon that I believe in, the spirit of (Tengen Toppa Solvernia)

Team Dai-Gurren, will never be broken. (Tengen Toppa Solvernia)

You dare defy us, you puny irregular?

I was made by you. That is a fate that can't be changed.

But I CAN fight it to my last breath!

And I'll do just that!

Don't make me laugh!

Tengen Toppa Enki-Durgâ

I'm the one that you need to face!

Please get clear, Princess Nia.

Thank you, Viral!

Getting the chance to protect a princess of the Spiral here in this remote dimension...

I'm grateful to this twist of fate!

That won't work!

We'll see about that!

I won't let Nia's dreams be in vain!

Tengen Toppa Yoko-W-Tank

Tengen Toppa Twinboekun

Who gives a damn about galaxies?

- Our stomachs... - ...are way bigger!

Tengen Toppa Kidknuckle

Super Galaxy Whirlwind Brothers! Kid!

And Iraak!

You'd best remember it!

Tengen Toppa Einsaurs

Such impertinence!

Bzzt! Let's make some sparks fly!

Wakizashi Blade...

Super Galaxy Slice!

Tengen Toppa Sawzorthn Tengen Toppa Mo-Shogun

- Overconfidence is the greatest enemy. - Don't let your guard down, you two.

- Senpai! We can't let... - ...these guys get the better of us!

Tengen Toppa Grapearl

Why, you...!

As I have said, you waste your time!

Tengen Toppa Dai-Gurren

Ahoy!

Eat this! And this! And this! And this!

Those are Probability Alteration Missiles!

They negate any probability of the Anti-Spiral defending against them!

I'm impressed, Aretenborough!

You bet! When it comes to spacey interruptions, I'm your man!

Tengen Toppa Spiral Engines, activate!

Aye aye!

Okay, here we go!

Super Dimension anchor!

I Got The Best Wife In The Universe Swing!

Dummy.

Thank you, Simon. You came all this way for me.

I am happy with just that.

Nia...

Simon, you've come all this way so that you could do what you had to do.

Isn't that right?

Yeah, you're right.

Did you see, Anti-Spiral?

That's my resolve, the resolve of Super Galaxy Team Dai-Gurren!

We'll say it as often as it takes!

Who the hell do you think we are?!

So, you materialized Spiral Energy here in this pocket universe that we created.

I see. It's no wonder that you were able to escape the extradimensional labyrinth.

But this is not over yet!

Such arrogance coming from a lowly species that is kept suppressed by us!

We will make you regret your arrogance!

I'm reading a massive energy buildup!

It's on par with the birth of the universe!

It's almost like a big bang...

And they're going to hit us with that?

Infinity Big Bang Storm!

Burn in the everlasting hellfire of the universe's creation!

Be utterly annihilated, down to the very last scrap of DNA!

Hang in there, Darry!

You, too, Gimmy!

Crap!

This is bad! We can't take much more of this!

- Simon... - Honey...

It looks bad, but it will take more than this to finish them!

Not yet! We're not done yet!

Simon! Leave this to me!

Lazengann Overload!

Father!

Do not grieve for me, daughter.

My soul once drowned in a sea of despair and weariness, but has been reawakened!

If the life of this temporary body will create a tomorrow for all Spiral life,

...I will gladly give it!

Yes. I agree with you completely.

Your deaths will be for nothing! Now, begone!

Lazengann is undergoing quantum breakdown!

That's what I was waiting for!

Simon! Take it!

- This energy... - It's father's last wish...

All right... Guys, let's do the old you-know-what.

Do what?

What else? Combine!

What in the world?

You lowly lifeforms have mastered such a vast amount of energy?

Unbelievable!

We evolve beyond the person (Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann)

we were a minute before. (Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann)

We advance a little further with each turn.

That's how a drill works!

That is the path that leads to extinction!

Why can't you see the limitation of the Spiral races?

No, that's YOUR limitation!

You sit here in your closed-off universe,

...locking away other lifeforms like you're some kind of king!

That's nobody's limitation but your own!

He's right! We humans used to have somebody much, much bigger than us!

For his sake, we'll move forward!

The human spirit is limitless! I've staked everything on its greatness, too!

Eat this!

Finishing Move! Super Tengen Toppa...

GIGA DRILL BREAK!

How amusing. In that case,

...ANTI-SPIRAL GIGA DRILL BREAK!

Impossible! Nothing should be able to withstand our power!

Mark my words. This drill will open a hole in the universe.

And that hole will become a path for those that follow after us.

The dreams of those who have fallen. The hopes of those who will follow.

Those two sets of dreams weave together into a double helix,

...drilling a path towards tomorrow.

That's Tengen Toppa! That's Gurren Lagann!

My drill is the drill that creates the heavens!

Simon!

Get in there!

You struggle in vain!

Maybe, but I still...

Lagann?!

That may be, but I still believe.

In the me that I believe in. In humanity. In the future.

I believe.

My drill is my soul!

If this is how it must be, protect the universe at all costs...

Of course we will. Believe in us, too.

Have faith in us humans.

What happened?

The energy that maintained that universe between dimensions has vanished.

Simon! Do you read me?! Simon!

We're being contacted by one planet after another from across the galaxy!

The freed Spiral races are sending us messages of joy!

There are so many others like us out there!

Simon!

It's all over, Nia.

Yes. Let's go home.

Welcome home, Mistress Nia.

Thank you, Old Coco.

Look at this, Simon! See?

It's beautiful.

Thank you. I mean it.

Dear Kamina.

Today, I am going to marry Simon.

Just a little longer. Okay?

Nia.

Um, I'd like you to have this.

This is your diary...

It would make me happy for you to have it.

I see. Thank you.

But shouldn't Simon have this?

I've already told him everything that's in my heart.

Nia, I'll never forget you.

Even if the universe ends.

Don't be silly. It won't end.

That's what we've all worked so hard for.

Yeah. You're right.

I love you, Simon.

Yeah. Me, too.

I love you, Nia.

Simon...

Thank you, everyone. We were happy together.

But why? Why don't you use the power of the Spiral?

You can use that power to bring Nia back!

And not just her! All the other people we lost!

Simon isn't God, Gimmy.

Those who are dead are dead.

If we bring them back to life, they'll just get in the way of the next generation, right?

It's in your hands now, Rossiu.

Simon...

Me, I'm Simon the Digger.

There's someone better suited to go through the tunnels I dug.

You can count on me.

It was fun, Simon.

Simon!

till the tiny seed of tears you sowed in my heart

bloom into a big flower of smile

even in this busy everyday life I sometimes suddenly rewind myself

suppose I could stay with you forever

another future of if

even though I can't see you I can still feel you where ever I am

under this same sky today I will head for tomorrow

as if it is going to melt my mind

I hear the refrain speaking to me now in that dearest voice

till the tiny seed of tears you sowed in my heart

bloom into a big flower of smile

I'll be right here

I guess it's nothing special

everyone would know the meaning someday

the stars are twinkling through the breaks in the burning out red clouds

where and what are your eyes looking at now?

the season you loved is coming again

your pieces that I held haven't changed a bit

keep on speaking to me again and again in that dearest voice

I won't forget till the tiny seed of tears you sowed in my heart

bloom into a big flower of smile someday

I'll be right here

morning, noon and night finding the way and being lost

we hurry to the promised land

as if it is going to melt my mind

I hear the refrain speaking to me now in that dearest voice

the tiny seed of tears you sowed in my heart

bloomed into a big flower of smile at last

I'll be right here forever and ever

- It's water! - We struck water!

This old-timer is awesome! He drilled through that bedrock like it was nothing!

Water! Water! Water!

Thank you. Because of you, our village's water troubles are over.

What can we ever do to repay...

Flowers.

Sow seeds and grow flowers.

The dream of 20 long years is finally coming true.

Pres. Rossiu's proposed Pan-Galactic Spiral Council is being implemented.

Tonight, Earth's representatives will be leaving for the Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren,

...which is waiting in orbit.

In the words of Capt. Viral, who is commanding the mission...

What's wrong, kid?

I can't drill a hole in this thing...

You're putting too much force into it. Try turning the drill more gently.

Like this?

Hey, it worked! You're awesome, mister!

Of course it worked! Who the hell do you think...

Yum!

Nah, I guess I'm nobody.

Look! It's Gurren Laganns! Are they leaving for another battle?

Will they win?

No.

They're going in the name of peace.

They're going out to make friends.

Friends? Oh, okay.

Yeah.

I wonder if I can go, too?

Sure you can. The lights in the sky are stars.

Yeah.

That's right. Stars where our Spiral cousins are waiting for us.

The End
