Isn't Nia said herself that it is an ironic accident that the daughter of Spiral King turn out to be the one born with anti-spiral gene?

Strange spelling, but I guess they went with the pronounciation of "gun".

What I still don't get is how Nia managed to become one of the Anti-Spiral tribe people, despite the fact that she was the daughter of Lord Genome and was created by him.
And no, I didn't hear Nia say that it was ironic that she was born with having an Anti-Spiral gene. Didn't even hear that she said that at all. And also, would that make all the dead princesses in the coffins Anti-Spirals as well? |

16:10-16:28. During Nia's transformation.
No, just Nia. My understanding is anyone is possible except those with spiral power. Nia being the one is just a coincide. 6? what did you mean by 6? Aren't there 9 more episodes to go on still?

There had to be a reason he locked up those other princesses and a threat of the anti-spiral gene would be a valid reason for someone defending mankind. I don't think Nia is a special case as she is one among those boxes thrown out by the Helix King. It's certainly ironic but that is the case with all other princesses.

(because of the added recap, the episode count increased to 27) Most likely, this part 3 is 6 episodes, followed by 5 episodes of part 4. Of course, it's all just a guess.

Perhaps it's something like all the daughters of Lord Genome are messengers from the Han-Rasen. It's like he keeps them there in case he were to be destroyed (like he was by Simon), so that one of the daughters will give some sort of message to the humans. Also the Han-Rasen might've forced Lord Genome to keep them for some purpose of tracking the humans. Or even they wanted a message delivered to the humans before they annihilated them.
I guess if that were true, Lord Genome could've been disposing of his daughters after a while because they were beginning to ask questions, which he was afraid would lead them to learn about the spiral and anti-spiral conflict and perhaps learn that they were of the anti-spiral. This in turn would lead to one of his daughters possibly beginning the human extermination early. I don't know if I stated my thoughts clearly enough, they just kind of ramble on =P Other than that I liked this episode because we haven't really had a "talking" episode that answered a lot of questions. It confirmed a lot of predictions and creates more speculation that's always fun to talk about ^^. I definitely liked Rossiu more in this episode than the last. It made me feel that he wasn't just some power hungry guy (well maybe the preview helped a lot on that too =P) I can't wait for the rest!!!! |

Basically, folks like Kittan and the Twins and what was his name were good as war generals. They are not trained in running a state, and couldn't be trained to run a state. Looking back at history, war generals who are only good at fighting are to be retired and given a big fat pension after the war is won, not to be let lose and mucking around with a government system that they don't really understand or care about. If only Simon and Rossiu were more open with each other over the past 7 years. Weren't they co-pilots? Had that been so, I doubt Rossiu would be so crazy radical and Simon be kinda clueless now. |

Anyway, episode 18 rocked. The grown-up versions of the characters are nice, and Anti-Spiral Dark Nia is very, very cool. Hopefully she'll get more screen time in the future. Simon is not getting enough love, but at least he was the dictator for a while Not sure if this theory has already been proposed, but my interpretation of the preview is that our dear secretary will stage a fake trial to appease the people, then cut Simon loose secretly, handing him back the key to the Gurren-Lagann. |

I'm hoping that we'll see it in the next episode (staged trail for publicity?). I absolutely do not want to see Rossiu as an antagonist. |

Well, the thing is that Rossiu has to take the roll of enforcer. One of the things that Yoko does as a character is keep the others in check, in many regards, and she was kind of the voice of reason alongside Rossiu prior to the timeskip. So without Yoko in the picture, Rossiu hasn't had anyone in a position of influence to assist him in keeping the others in check. Many of the other pilot characters are like Kamina and Simon so it's not surprising that there's tension at the top.
