Ok ya after frame-by-framing it its definitely his spiral energy and not an him getting overloaded or something.

@Zeto -

You can't direct link from Yotsuba, moot set it up so you'll end up with that anti-leeching .png instead of what you wanted to show us. Upload to another site like ImageShack to get it to work over here.

I'm not so sure. I sort of agree with duckroll in that this episode feels like padding, and with next week it looks like the same kind of deal given the "mental illusion" thing, which could take anywhere from a quarter to three fourths of the whole episode. And the sense of urgency isn't even at the OH SHI- levels of GaoGaiGar yet.

While twenty seven will be the "final battle", it'll probably be in the closed space, meaning we might not even see the Anti-Spiral home world.

Eh? Who said what about glasses? I only remembered Kittan saying something about his drill and spiral powers. How did glasses get into the picture? And Simon didn't say much about his glasses either... you gotta jog my memory.

He's back on earth, of course he's missing. He'll probably make a final appearance in the last episode.

Anyway an episode without Nia is just padding to me. Har Har.

I wonder. I doubt next episode is a "mental illusion" myself, it's more of the Anti-Spirals taking full control over their closed karmic space.

They don't say it directly, but Simon says in his speech at the end "Carving the memories of our friends into this body..." and the Chouginga Gurren Lagann has funky glasses too.

SOUL GATTAI. Simon now carries both Kamina and Kittan's spirits within him and the glasses are a physical representation of that IMO.

[Malintex_Terek]

Well, if the glasses were supposed to represent Kittan, there should have been four additional prongs, not just three, since King Kittan's chin is as pronounced a prong as its head.

Like this:

Spoiler:

As for Getter homage, Kittan's final kamikaze was more of a homage to Musashi's kamikaze death, IMO.
And I don't mean the anime TV series one, the one from the original manga. (And the following OVAs)

Yeah but Simon's got a nose, remember? The sunglasses must fit on it. It's obvious this shape is Simon's way of paying homage to Kittan.

Anyways, this episode was fucking epic, maybe even more than ep 8. Kittan was really the second most GAR man in the Gurren-dan.

[Dave1988]

Watched the RAW. Haters be damned.

Spoiler for ;_;:

The music playing during Kittan's death was just so beautiful. KITTAN! ;_;

[Deathkillz]

HOLY SH*T!!! this has to be said!
"You anti spiral bastards!! WHO THE FCK DO YOU THINK WE ARE!!!"

Spoiler:

GARGARGAR all the way...boy has this ep got me hyped up (and somewhat frustrated)...kittan was an awesome character its just sad to see him leave...but at least he went out with a BANG!
And here we have yoko, giving out her famous "kiss of death" (poor girl get rid of her black widow reputation).
The whole ep screamed EPIX! and cmon who could have guessed that boota would be a spiral battery!

I dont even have the words to express how i feel about this ep...its just THAT good its untrue! ~

"Do the impossible, see the invisible, ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWA!"
"Touch the untouchable, break the unbreakable, ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWA!"

Simon is going to kick some ASS!!

Let's hope for a "WELCOME HOM3" and prepare for "CONGRATULATIONS" eh? ;p

[pinoy78]

I voted a perfect 10.

You gotta love it when you hear the HEROIC theme played.......only to be cut off abruptly. LOL.

[OMG_Zerg_Rush]

Kittan is so far the only one whos death was painfull for me to watch.
Kamina die in such a way that made me fell "holy shit that was great" and the deaths in ep 24 was "meh" but Kittan...... i think it was the music that did it for me, so sad yet so GAR.

True, there's hint to Musashi's sacrifice as well. It's probably a homage to both characters, considering that particular drawing style is some sort of trademark of Shin Getter/Getter Last Days.

[Slastor]

Kittan was just epic.

Even though that was only 2 minutes of the entire episode, I just had to give the ep a perfect 10 in response to those 2 minutes.

Holy crap.

My mind is blown.

I find his moment just as good, if not better, than Kamina's.

[Ninjacat]

The music really does it for me in this episode. It's like the rest of the show and getting bigger as we approach the finale.

Fight the power!

[Mitheor]

And another 10/10. Perfect episode.

Kittan has become one with epicness. Best episode ever!

[LS Eden]

If it weren't for the glasses this would have been 10/10 - but... meh..
Is Gainax SERIOUS?
