I can't even take all the epicness! THE WHOLE TEAM IS BACK TOGETHER! There was a shot of Kamina's grave. Rossiu was redeemed, and Simon has a very Kamina look now. Seeing the flag of Dai Gurren flying, and the logo all over the place.... Unbelievably epic.

So much awesomeness! I'm gonna explode! Simon looks badass as fuck! I'd say Rossiu is back to being likeable. Did Yoko's breasts get biger?! It super looks like that. I have a bad feeling about the next episode. I feel like someone is going to die. If that wasn't a death fIag for Dayakka then I don't know what is. I can feel it. I hope I am wrong. Awesome episode!

FINALLY Rossiu gets that punch that's been coming to him. Now I can see him as a good guy again. And epic that Simon gave him the punch that Kamina gave him :D
(Rossiu looks weird with his hair down lol)

Everyone's faces when the discussion got too scientific xD I loved it but they needed translations LOL

That moment when Leeron starts flirting towards Viral - his reaction was priceless LOL

Kittan seeing Yoko's space "suit" LOL

Dang this show and its ability to get me so pumped up. Team Gurren cracks me up.

I love how we've come full circle with Rossiu's character and how Simon punched sense into him just as Kamina had done to Simon.

this was a good episode and all but once again a new power conveniently comes out of nowhere when they need it most. Usually I'm okay with that happening now and again but it's happened several times in this short anime and this is also the ability to teleport across the fuckin galaxy. It's not even like they work hard to develop or discover this stuff, these powers just make themselves known just in time to save the day. clearly some people have zero issue with it but its become a bit distracting to me.

Their bored/confused faces cracked me up each time. It's almost meta, in the sense that the show realises that very few who are watching this show cares about proper explanations, cliches will do nicely. Fighting spirit and love is all you need! :P

Just watched it. "Let me see you grit those teeth" The Kamina reference had my feelings going fucking crazy. He needed that, it makes a man stronger.

Alright then ... they just happen to find a warping technique.
I guess that's the power of the Spiral after all, hell it only took them 7 years to build giant cities and what not.

Anyhow, Rossiu finally got the punch he deserved, GRIT THOSE TEETH!

Regarding the explanations, I've seen enough sci-fi time travel, multiverse kinda shows to know what they're talking about even if the characters dont ^^

All of a sudden I like Rossiu again.

So the wars is kinda like Goku's Instant Transmission?

That was some space outfit Yoko was wearing.

Love the new outfit for Simon.

Impressive final speech.

Really hyped for the upcoming battles now.

Rossiu was so cold but when I saw him cry his ass off after handing the verdict to Simon, I cried my ass off as well ;-; I'm glad he got his head sorted out like what Kamina did to Simon and how he got punched was pretty satisfying considering his asshattery from before lol

Turns out the book was complete gibberish after all lol

So much things have been happening from nowhere but I don't really mind. They pulled a moon in a hidden dimension and they've managed to teleport to the Anti-Spiral stronghold so quickly in just a week but that only made me more excited for what's to come~

Dai Gurren's braindead looks on the jargon Leeron and Lordgenome spouted lmao Yoko's tits got even bigger with her new outfit and I'm as amazed as Kittan on how they managed to pull this off ♥ I'm loving Simon's new battlesuit as well~ Kamina's grave in the background was a nice touch as well.

I would've been okay if Rossiu offed himself.

But hey that's why I'm not Simon.

Speaking of which, he is looking like a true badass in those clothes. Kamina would be proud of how far he has come.

That was pretty exciting. Simon seems to be reaching even higher levels of badassery than Kamina. He even resembles him at the end of the episode. Although I wonder how did he manage to change his outfit between flying away from Earth and boarding the Cathedral Terra. I guess "it just works".

Rossiu's arc was definitely needed to make him a more 3-dimensional character than he was before, and I think it succeeded in doing that. However, I'm not sure how to feel about Simon's kindness to Rossiu here, it kinda feels out of place after everything that Rossiu did to him. Well, you can say that Simon didn't feel that it was the right time to set past disputes. Or that his punch counted as a punishment for Rossiu (Simon said that himself). Kinda unproportional, eh? Anyway, I feel he just forgave Rossiu. Looks like he views him as a friend that made mistakes and not as an enemy even after the trial and all that stuff. The scenario with Rossiu killing himself could work too tho.

I also think I won't even be surprised if after all that teleportation stuff our heroes will discover something like the power to bring people back to life with the spiral power, lol. It's connected to genetics somehow, after all. It would also explain how did Viral get an immortal body (as well as Lordgenome). I predict Kamina's comeback.

P.S. I feel that the scene with Dayakka and Kittan saying goodbye to their family foreshadows their death in battle. It's quite a common trope.

The "guy explains scientific stuff only to be asked for the dumbed-down explanation" bits were funny and identifiable. Also a bit of realistic and not very used type of humor.

***

So, Rossiu was completely redeemed (what seemed pretty impossible in third episode of this arc) trough self-pity and getting over with it (pet peeve, however: crying on the wrong side of the eyes which also makes it look comical when it was suppossed to be dramatic).
And he gets punched in the face. Even if it was for his own good, it is obvious the writers put this as comeuppance (with his face still being bruised in subsequent scenes and all). And I think kinnon is best girl (?)

People still wanting him to die after this are a bit much. Specially since it was revealed he never liked what he felt was his duty in the first place. All in all, good character arc. And he gets put in charge of Earth just like he wanted to, too while all the ditz go on a suicide mission to deep space - A perfect plan after all ;).
Though the thing about the holy book is a dissapointance if there is nothing more to it. And the fact they never reuse the "sacred" gunmen (would have been a nice gunmen specially for Rossiu, instead of Gurren which never fit to him).

***

Simon gets the last transformation and now has become fully a Kamina ersatz. Not sure how I feel about that. Being a crybaby was Simon's signature and now he is just a less flavorful kamina :V - However this may have been necessary.

What wasn't necesary, though, was Yoko's ultra mega thicc new figure and outfit. Her previous outfits and figure were much better... and I hope they don't put her in with that blockhead Kittan. Yet that seems inevitable now that the Simon ship has sailed. At least Yoko x Revived Kamina head? :v

It is legitimately impossible to hate Rossiu after this episode, at least it is for me.

I also love the callback to the teaser scene in the first episode. I cannot wait to see how this all wraps up. Or how hype it gets. Honestly, both.

This is very quickly becoming one of my favorites.

Is this what perfection in anime looks like? I feel so lucky to be able to experienced such epicness. Simon and the gang are so awesome right now, Kamina is still the GOD, seriously he was the one who started all this, humanity would still live underground if it wasn't Kamina who taught them to pierce the heavens.
Anime is fun.

"Grit those teeth."

Slowly but surely, he's becoming Kamina in his own way. He even looks like him now, with that cool outfit and glasses. Glad that Rossiu is back, they need everyone's support to defeat the enemy. Kittan and I have the same reaction when I saw Yoko with that outfit, damn! Wooh boy, this hyped me up! I need to prepare food for this. Tis gonna be epic!!!

Simon is to Rossiu what Kamina was to Simon.

The final arc's character designs are so epic, especially Yoko and Simon's.

This was one of the coolest episode of gurenn laggan I have seen. I got to see Simon punching the shit out of that whinny Scoundrel Rossiu. He plotted the coup d'état by sending Simon to the death and was willing to sacrifice 80% of the population so he can escape with few to save his ass and now was afraid of taking responsibility for the atrocity he committed. To be honest, he literally deserved to die with that witch Kinon. She was accompanying him to execute Simon so she can be helpful to his bastard husband and now, she dare to cry so he could be saved. How Pathetic? Guess, that punch was enough to forgive the sin he committed.

Also, everyone look so cool on new outfit and team also have ultimately assembled to take the final boss. I wonder how they will fair and would be able to succeed in rescuing Nia.
