Rossiu is a coward. Surprise, surprise. Kittan was pretty badass with his shotgun. Rossiu is made the fool by the head of Genome. "Of course they work [against anti-spirals]." Shows him for decommissioning so many as "obsolete."
Once again, the ring on ninja-Nia remains dead set in the middle of the frame. Foreshadowing much?
Yoko's entrance was very well done, right through Nia's hair.
Preview: Yoko-sensei??? Will a Megane-Yoko win me back from the Nia camp? Probably not, but it's a very good start!
Megane Yoko sucks. Loli Yoko (like a flashback, or a kid???) might give her points though. I hope Yoko uses this chance to try and take Simon back, only to be horribly beaten again when Nia comes to.
Peace.
Since I don't see Yoko-Simon as viable I've never really felt like pitting her against Nia. They should represent different roles for Simon, Nia the mate and Yoko the sister. That being said Simon certanily needs a sister figure right now, someone to help him out but not make demands on his heart and stuff.
And Rossiu...I think his despicable level has peaked and he's moved on into the pathetic range. You can see his reasoning for wanting to definately save something instead of risking everything to potentially save everything. I liked how Kittan's speech basically reminded Rossiu that he'd never had a Gurren-Brigade mentality but that the Gurren-Brigade mentality couldn't just be swept under the rug. If he doesn't want to fight then I say let him tuck tail and run, but he made the right decision in returning the key, as it's not up to him to deny those who wish to fight the means to do so. I no longer hope that he dies out in space, but I do hope he is never given authority over anyone with a backbone again.

cool... they actually explained that running underground would be useless.
so... is anyone else thinking this won't get back to the beginning? or that if it does, it'll end there?
They've got a enough episodes to wrap it up nicely. I'm sure we'll see the final battle too.
dunno if people here know about this or not (or care) but the TTGL character songs are available here:
Nipponsei - TTGL - Character Songs
essentially, they're songs that the voice actors and actresses do, but are almost never included as part of the actual soundtrack or show. Just figured I'd drop this here for whoever wanted
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Class 3-B? Yomako-sensei???!?
Yeah, yeah...

Just when I was over Yoko's outfit, new Yoko shows up with an even better outfit... She makes the cape work quite well (better than the old scarf). Yomako-sensei was nice as well to in a Yomiko Readman sort of way.
I'm ashamed to say Viral's role snuck up on me, I mean who else would it be other than that...
Good episode even though it only really got exciting near the end.
You are not the only one. I was expecting viral to pilot his own ganmen and fight alongside the Dai-Gurren Brigade. I too forgot that there was already a place for him in Gurren's cockpit. During the last few episodes, I didn't even care about who was in there anymore. Simon seemed to perform well enough on his own, regardless of whether Rossiu, Kinon, Yoko or even Kamina himself were present. In fact, I don't even think they showed anyone in the cockpit when Simon fought the very first mugan that ended up taking most of the city with it, leading me to believe that Gurren Lagann didn't even need a 2nd pilot.Originally Posted by Yukimura
Anyways, Viral was the most obvious choice ,but yeah, it totally slipped my mind. Viral actually has some skill and experience with Ganmen, whereas for Kamina, it was all about Impulse and being caught in the spur of the moment. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how much more Gurren Lagann can now accomplish.
On another note, this episode was the first time they actually mentioned that spiral energy worked through will power and morale, although most of us already figured that would be the case. No wonder Kamina was having such success with machines he had never even handled before.
I think that the GL can be piloted by Simon alone. But it always helps to have someone with something other than just guts (ie. skills) to handle half of the work.
Peace.
actually... it gives them more spiral energy.
good episode, setting things up nicely for the next battle. i actually still don't really like Yoko but she freed Simon, so she gotta be somewhat useful.
Does it work that way for the GL? I thought only Simon can give the GL spiral energy (ie Kamina's death just because Simon was distracted, Kamina was burning with fighting spirit but it didnt help a bit)
Peace.
Force of will alone did get the Gurren to start up when Kamina first hopped in. We know now from the Genome that they run off spiral energy too, and were built for the sole purpose of fighting anti-spirals ("Of course they work." - best line to shut up Rossiu). The graphics always responded to Simon, but Kamina fed the GL a lot of energy. The Giga Drill super attack was mostly him.
Simon was a large factor, but the Gurren-Lagann always worked best when the Simon and his copilot were in concert. Viral isn't the best match, but if they could never kill him before, and now you literally can't kill him...
Wasn't it said that the beastman aren't a spiral race or whatever? Wouldn't that mean he wouldn't feed the GL any energy?
they are spiral beings. but they were probably sterile or something not to get past the 1 million mark
ARC GURREN LAGAN KICKS ASS!!! so maybe the AGL(arc gurren lagan) will also combine with the new ship in the future?
thats a safe bet I think.
Peace.
God I love this show, I thought it was fucking badass before. Now it just keeps breaking these levels over and over. Love it.
