Gurren Lagann the Movie: The Lights in the Sky Are Stars (劇場版 天元突破グレンラガン 螺巌篇)

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!

Mia 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 hear 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! 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!

Darryl. Don't be crazy!

I can still fight!

Barry!

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!
