Well this anime keeps to get better, too bad I don't think we'll see a second season of this :(

Anyway, I'm the only one that thinks that kissing Yoko is a REALLY bad omen?
She is Doombitch, her kiss is murder to those who receive it!

I have a theory:

Maybe Yoko gives cursed kisses. Frist she kissed Kamina. He died. Now She kissed Kittan, he died.

Or those kisses are farawell ones.

I had totally forgotten that Kittan had the most manly of deaths. Poor Yoko, she must really feel like she is cursed with and to men.

Best episode by far.

RIP Kittan,I actually felt something over his death unlike Kamina's.

Opera version of Row Row Fight the Powa OST was godlike.


You said it, Kittan felt more powerful than Kamina to me aswell.
I really liked Kittan aswell dangit :/

Now kiss Simon next time Yoko and we'll know he's going to die aswell lol.

Kittan, just like many other in the gang, went out heroically. However the way Gainax executed his death was indescribably sublime. I've got shiver down my spine whenever i see him went out, the King Kittan slowly fade out and the man laughed in enjoyment, being finally able to awake his Spiral power. To me he's just a regular man in a team, trying to do his best to make a contribution, to make a name for himself. There was an episode he kept running around to find Simon since he was imprisoned, didn't work out well since Yoko beat him for itt. He really wanted to be something, wanted to be an important part of the team, since Kamina, Yoko, Simon and even Nia outdo him in every aspect, which is why he always try hard for the gang. And this episode gives him the best performance ever, his last wish, his final and probably one of the most vital contribution to the team. RIP Kittan, despite being a supporting character he'll always remind me that it's important to pay attention to everyone in the team, not just the big boss XD.

*Clap, clap, clap *

Now I know why they were skimping out on the goods at the start. What a turnaround. Well deserved hype, well deserved.

I raised in a previous forum about the uselessness of the pig mole. Gainax sure showed me. They say that the pig mole absorbed Simon's spiral power by presence after mutating or that it was a creature with spiral power... I wonder, even if Simon and Kamina were exceptional beings, was Boota responsible for unleashing Simon and Kamina's power instead when they ate his tail?

This is an excellent example of where shounen shines, when backed up by interesting sci fi yarns here and there give an explanatory base structure to the spiral power.

Fuck. I cried more for Kittan's death than for Kamina's.
Fuck's sake man, I was really hoping he wouldn't die.

Simon better drill Nia so hard that it'll break time and space or else Kittan's sacrifice would've been for naught. He was so close to Kittan Giga Drilling Yoko too..fuck!

I know the term epicness is overused these days, however, in this episode it was fucking real.

Wanted to nominate Boota for the MVP, unfortunately for him Kittan took the spotlight.

I got the feeling that he wouldn't make it out alive of this arc,that didn't make his last moments less impactful, though.

And regarding the kiss with Yoko, I noticed he was starring at her more than usual during the last episodes, but this time he did it. Which ultimately raised the death flag.

The conclusion is, kissing her should be better avoided..

Boota!

Kittan went out with the ultimate blaze of glory.

Kissing Yoko and then destroying the death spiral machine.

That transformation at the end was pretty epic.

Very much looking forward to the next episode,

They quickly made sense of the sea in space with a plausible explanation of it being dense converted energy and it's impressive. Boota having so much Spiral Energy pent up was funny.

The Yoko x Kittan ship was building up so nicely in this episode that it crossed my mind that Kittan will be facing a tragic fate since that was how Kamina ended up after being with Yoko. Reading about Yoko's name standing for You Only Kiss Once made me giggle and feel bad.

By giving one last King Giga Drill Break and going out in the most glorious blaze of glory, he has given the team an enormous amount of energy and the saddest death in the show. The classical + hip-hop hybrid music amplified the intensity and feels.

As the Super Dreadnought Galaxy Gurren Lagann started its transformation, I was desperately struggling to hold in mixed feelings. All I can say now is "Kick those Anti-Spiral asses!"

So true...

Character development is one of the strongest sides of TTGL.


As for the kiss, Kittan knew he was going to a suicide mission, so that was kinda farewell kiss..
But anyway, poor Yoko T T

Well, Kittan's death was on the level of Kamina's in terms of sadness, but his last moments were very touching and cool, too. I was right thinking that "saying goodbye to family members" foreshadowed death. We still have Dayakka though.

I hope Yoko won't kiss Simon before his last mission :/

Well, unexpectedly my prediction of Kittan sacrifice came true soon enough. However that I didn't like him, I must admit his death was pretty epic and confirmed as a full spiral user, something Kamina only gave the barest hints of being (such as when he powered up the gunmen with his fighting spirit for the first time)

Though, now Yoko is widowed twice. Writers really hate her, it is for her sake that there isn't a second season when someone else kisses her and dies :v

Also... Boota spiral lifeform. OK.

"We are taking in super dense space!" as sinking was unintentionally hillarious to me since the metaphor is so contrived.

Also, call me dumb but I just "Got" that big gunmen are powered up by having their original gunmen inside. This explains a death scene back. Though I blame partically the anime since their character designs are exactly the same (unlike with Gurren Lagann transformations)

So far so goot, but
...the new ultra 80's star shaped glasses that Simon got to "be better than Kamina" are terrible. Rather he kept his digger glasses and get an upgrade to that. Well, they go in line with the downgraded via camp Yoko's clothes...

Yeesh, these episodes keep getting more and more epic. Not many anime out there that can get more pure emotion out of me from something this action based. I didn't really like that Kittan X Yoko little thing they pushed on us, though I suppose it was more Kittan really....

When a pig is more useful than you, sad.

YOKO moment. Yoko is cursed. You're gonna die a virgin because they die first before they drill you. Kamina never got a piece of that action, nor Kittan nor Simon since he's planning on drilling someone else. RIP my bro Kittan. The way you went out was the most badass I've seen yet.

Your death wasn't in vain. Now leave all the work to Dai-Gurren.

I expected Yoko x Kittan, considering the premise and the fact that his was similar to Kamina. I hoped for that kiss but it was so sudden that it hadn't the same impact for me compared to the one with Kamina. RIP Kittan, his death was sad but it was epic enough to lessen a bit the sadness.

That was absolutely one of the most venerable way to go off 😐but now he is also a gonner. Rest in peace Kittan, your service to the Green Laggan will not be missed and may your and other sacrifice be the driving force on defeating Anti Spiral with newly reinvigorated super galaxy Gurren Lagann.

Kittan's death is one of the best ones so far, mainly because he died as a GOAT. Went to Yoko and straight up kissed her. Sadly, she's the one that's left behind with a broken heart and his is completely shattered. Anyway, it's time for the FINAl final FINAL battle.
