1. Gurren Lagann

2. This is the tale of a man who blows a hole in the fate of a universe...

3. that is ruled by the endless cycle of violence.

4. As the Earth's destruction looms ever closer,

5. the reborn Gurren Lagann combines with the Arch-Gurren,

6. and, with the moon Gunmen now under his control, Simon saves the Earth.

7. However, Nia, the Anti-Spiral's messenger,

8. is recalled to the enemy homeworld.

9. Episode 23: Let's Go, This is the Final Battle

10. - This is Viral, who has been made Gurren's main pilot.

11. I'm going to have him attend our mission planning sessions from now on.

12. I don't expect you to simply let bygones be bygones.

13. But I DO want you to understand that it isn't just humans...

14. who want to protect the Earth.

15. Well, well! Listen to you, bein' all modest!

16. You don't have to beg and scrape. You were hand-picked by Simon.

17. That makes you the same as the rest of us.

18. We're about to launch a frontal assault on the enemy's stronghold.

19. We can't waste time worrying about the little things.

20. And there are some of us who haven't changed one bit...

21. after showing up again after six years.

22. Goodness, whoever do you mean?

23. I thought you said we weren't sweating the details.

24. Yeah! Nobody's better than humans at being rough and ready!

25. You humans are...

26. That reminds me, has anyone seen Rossiu?

27. Huh?

28. Hey, Rossiu, where are you headed?

29. Aretenborough, don't be in such a rush all the time.

30. He's hammering out the Surface Restoration Plan.

31. He said he'll leave all further mission planning up to us.

32. All right, let's get down to business.

33. This is the result of collating all data thus far.

34. The Earth Spiral race flagship currently in lunar orbit, the Cathedral Terra.

35. It was stolen by the Anti-Spiral and disguised as our moon.

36. Gurren Lagann. Arch-Gurren. Cathedral Terra.

37. The thing that brings out the potential of each is Spiral Power.

38. That refers to the power of evolution present in us lifeforms...

39. that possess a double-helix genetic structure.

40. To put it in simple terms, it's fighting spirit.

41. - Oh, that! - Makes perfect sense!

42. It appears that the Anti-Spiral were originally Spiral lifeforms just like us.

43. However, they believed that continued use of this power...

44. would lead to the destruction of the universe.

45. The Spiral Nemesis will bring about this universe's destruction.

46. We Anti-Spiral exist to prevent that event.

47. By Spiral Nemesis, she probably means the destruction of the universe.

48. Anyway, the Spirals failed to put down the Anti-Spiral rebellion and were defeated.

49. Why did that happen, you ask?

50. It was because they hid their stronghold somewhere...

51. in a universe with a different set of dimensional axes.

52. Having emerged victorious, the Anti-Spiral built Spiral lifeform annihilation systems...

53. on each Spiral race's homeworld.

54. To survive, the Spiral races were forced to eke out a meager existence underground.

55. What's the story with the Beastmen, then?

56. Or all the animals on the surface?

57. We're all beings that were created by the Spiral King.

58. Our reproduction is done entirely through cloning.

59. What does that mean?

60. They don't have Spiral Power, so they can't have children.

61. It's the genetic diversity resulting from gamogenesis that is the key to evolution.

62. It's in this that the upwardly-mobile Power of the Spiral resides.

63. In other words, it means that love changes the universe!

64. AT THE SAME TIME...

65. THE MOON BATTLESHIP... - On the Cathedral Terra, they're focusing

66. CATHEDRAL TERRA. - all their efforts as we speak...

67. on the construction of a scanning system.

68. - We'll find the Anti-Spiral's stronghold, no matter what.

69. And that's also where we'll find Nia, right?

70. Y-Yeah, I guess...

71. Come on, don't be embarrassed.

72. Love changes the universe, remember?

73. So I say let's change it. We'll force it to.

74. Yeah! Love and spirit! Let's do this!

75. It doesn't sound as good coming from you.

76. Kiss my ass.

77. I think I understand where your strength comes from now.

78. We're just getting started. We'll get a lot stronger before we're done.

79. So you can win?

80. Sort of. But not just for that.

81. Who's there?

82. Father Magin!

83. Rossiu?

84. What's the matter, Kinon?

85. Simon...

86. Rossiu sent me an e-mail with the Surface Restoration Plan.

87. That's Rossiu for you. He finished it already?

88. The thing is, there was a message to me written on the last page.

89. So, what are you doing all the way out here?

90. I could ask the same of you, Father Magin.

91. It's the strangest thing.

92. This place is hardly full of happy memories for me,

93. and yet, it seems to be the anchor of my soul.

94. It must have been hard for you.

95. No, sir.

96. Here.

97. Why, that's— It's our holy book!

98. You kept it all this time?

99. I'm returning it to you. I'm not the right man to hold it.

100. Have you read it?

101. No. That book can't be read.

102. I compared the writing to every known form of ancient writing,

103. But there was no such writing anywhere.

104. What is it, then?

105. Someone probably made it as a practical joke.

106. A joke? Our holy book was just nonsense?

107. Yes.

108. So, I was preaching God's word with someone's practical joke in my hand?

109. That's rich!

110. You learn that something you thought was a precious treasure was nothing but junk.

111. I wonder if that qualifies as evolution, too?

112. Yes, it's possible. What a strange thing.

113. But you know, Rossiu, that's exactly what makes humans so fascinating.

114. Don't you think so, too?

115. No, I don't. I don't see it that way at all.

116. Aretenborough says that he saw Rossiu.

117. He said he flew off somewhere in a Gun-spinner.

118. Never think that you can go it alone.

119. I want you to get the job done with the people around you.

120. I know you can do it. That is all I can tell you.

121. Thank you for everything.

122. Kinon, I am grateful for your friendship.

123. He's been acting funny for a long time.

124. Ever since we returned to the surface. Like he was haunted by something.

125. Stay calm, Kinon.

126. Do you think you can track his Gun-spinner's signature?

127. Huh? Oh. Yes!

128. It's faint, but I'm getting something to the east-northeast.

129. Roger.

130. Hey, where are you going?

131. The ground was distorted by the approach of the moon.

132. I don't want my hometown to be destroyed, so I'll go check it over.

133. - Then allow me to— - No.

134. It's dangerous, so please wait up here.

135. Rossiu!

136. I think you did a fine job.

137. You did a fine job. Not everyone could have done what you did.

138. The reading is close!

139. That's it?

140. Come in, pilot! State your destination!

141. Is that you, Commander?

142. We're returning the animals to their habitats.

143. Sorry to bother you. Continue doing your job.

144. We were chasing the wrong heat source...

145. Don't panic, Kinon.

146. Rossiu didn't... He didn't overthrow you for personal gain.

147. After the trial, I saw him—

148. I know he didn't, Kinon.

149. That's it! Simon, what about the village where he was born?

150. He used to talk about it all the time!

151. He used to say that half of his soul was still there in that village.

152. Adai Village? Hey, you're right! That has to be where he is!

153. - I'm gonna punch it, Kinon! - Right!

154. Once, this impoverished village could support no more than 50 people.

155. Back then, survival always meant that someone must be sacrificed.

156. On the surface, there is a world where everyone can live.

157. That's what I believed as I fought.

158. But I was wrong.

159. In the end, I almost sacrificed more lives than ever before.

160. That sin must be atoned for.

161. Gurren Lagann

162. Gurren Lagann

163. What the—? What's happening?

164. All Spiral systems are starting up!

165. The main engine is powering up, too!

166. But why? We're not done with the system build yet!

167. Spiral transference signal detected moving at high speed.

168. - Rossiu... - Rossiu!

169. Sins must be judged.

170. I will atone for my own sin at my own hand.

171. - Rossiu! - Rossiu!

172. Spiral Realm Perceptual Teleportation System engaged.

173. Wait for us, Rossiu!

174. Please, don't die!

175. - Rossiu! - Rossiu!

176. Gurren Lagann!

177. Stay away!

178. Don't!

179. Rossiu!

180. Grit those teeth!

181. Have you come back to your senses, Rossiu?

182. I was belted like that, too.

183. Everybody makes mistakes. It's to be expected.

184. But when you do make a mistake, you should be slugged by someone else.

185. There's no need to punish yourself.

186. At the time, you might think that it's a mistake you can never undo.

187. Even if it is, if we kick and struggle and fight like hell, we'll move forward a little bit.

188. I got knocked flat on my ass, and I was told to believe in the me that believes in myself.

189. That's probably how it should be. At least that's what I think.

190. You tried to do something that I never could have done.

191. What's wrong with that?

192. Simon...

193. Come on, Rossiu. I need you.

194. Actually, I guess there's someone else who needs you even more than I do.

195. I'm sorry, Kinon.

196. What do you think, Rossiu? How does it feel to be back in the cockpit again?

197. - It really takes me back. - It does, huh?

198. Um, I'm not heavy, am I?

199. Yes. You are. You're very heavy.

200. I-I'll climb down, then.

201. No, this is fine.

202. Right now, I want to feel it.

203. I want to feel what the weight of a single human life is like.

204. Jerk.

205. Human beings are fascinating indeed, aren't they, Rossiu?

206. How could we have been so blind?

207. They eluded our super-Spiral scan sweeps by creating...

208. an imaginary oscillating time-space located between the membranes...

209. of the dimensional universes we call the 10th and 11th dimensions.

210. I'm sorry, boys. I can't make heads or tails of it, either.

211. But this is definitely the Anti-Spiral homeworld.

212. How can you tell?

213. That's... her ring!

214. But why?

215. What we call the universe is constructed on ambiguity.

216. It only becomes a fixed reality when observed.

217. That is a fundamental law of the universe.

218. Even in a pocket universe,

219. an object that has been observed at one time can be picked up on a Spiral scan.

220. Maybe this is related to the quantum universe theory...

221. Rossiu, are you a monster or something?

222. This isn't like you people.

223. Who cares about the explanation. We know where it is, so we're going.

224. Yes, what he said! It sounds like you can reach it if you know where it is.

225. With a fixed set of perceptual dimensional coordinates,

226. instantaneous teleportation is possible.

227. That is how the Spiral Realm Perceptual Teleportation System works.

228. If you think of someone, it will send you straight into their arms!

229. Thinking of them gives you wings!

230. If you think of me, you die.

231. That's what that warp was?

232. In that case, we've already tested it. Basically, spirit lets you fly anywhere.

233. But we should also assume that the enemy has warp capability, too.

234. Good point.

235. In which case, I'm not sure if it's a good idea...

236. for Gurren Lagann to leave Earth right now.

237. - Feel free to go, Simon. - Rossiu?

238. While you're away, I'll come up with something.

239. So please, go.

240. He's right, Simon! If you don't go after all this, all that macho will go to waste!

241. We've found the enemy's stronghold, so we smash it.

242. It's worked for us this far.

243. Am I right?

244. Guys...

245. We ain't doing this for you.

246. We want to put an end to this. We're tired of all that rattling and rumbling on the surface.

247. Okay, Anne? I'm heading off to the edge of the galaxy for a bit, okay?

248. Look forward to all the cool stories I'll have when I get back.

249. - Kiyoh, I need to talk to— - You can go.

250. That's what you wanted to talk about, right?

251. Are you sure?

252. This is Team Dai-Gurren's last big fight, right?

253. How can Littner Village's Dayakka sit on the sidelines?

254. I'm so lucky to have you!

255. I'm so lucky I married you!

256. You big lug. But make sure you protect the Earth, okay?

257. And make sure you come home to me.

258. I will! I promise!

259. Oh, come on, quit crying!

260. Guys sure are idiots, aren't they?

261. Dimensional anchors have penetrated imaginary space.

262. They've latched onto the moon.

263. Dayakka! Give the word!

264. Engine output, 50%! All ahead slow!

265. Engine output, 50%! All ahead slow!

266. Wow, it actually came out.

267. So, that's the real moon.

268. With this here, the Cathedral Terra can leave...

269. without worrying about it affecting Earth.

270. Anything could happen now, and I wouldn't be surprised.

271. M-Me, neither.

272. Sorry. I know how big a job this is.

273. You can count on us.

274. Even if you don't return, I'll see to it that humanity survives.

275. We'll kick and scream and fight like hell.

276. You bet.

277. - Old Coco? - What are you doing here?

278. What's the matter?

279. Hey, this is—

280. Thanks, Old Coco.

281. I'll bring Nia back, count on it.

282. It's Team Dai-Gurren's flag!

283. Yes. And it's also the same flag we flew when we took Teppelin.

284. This is the actual flag?

285. - Guinble. - Sir?

286. I hope I can count on your continued support.

287. Yes, sir!

288. I'll be back, Bro.

289. Sorry to keep you waiting, guys.

290. Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren, launch!

291. Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren?

292. That's right! She's the Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren!

293. It works. It's a much better fit for you people than Cathedral Terra.

294. It sure does.

295. Kittan. Leeron. Dayakka.

296. Zorthy. Kid. Iraak.

297. Jorgun. Balinbow. Makken.

298. Tetukan. Gabal. Aretenborough.

299. Gimmy. Darry. Cybela. Leyte.

300. Yoko. Viral. Lordgenome.

301. And Boota.

302. As long as Team Dai-Gurren stands united, we have nothing to fear!

303. Engines to full!

304. Spiral Realm Perceptual Teleportation System, activate!

305. Let's go. This is our final battle.

306. To Be Continued...

307. Next Time

308. Even if an infinite number of enemies appear,

309. we indomitable outlaws will not give way!

310. Next time on Gurren Lagann,

311. I'll Never Forget This Minute, This Second.
