      cant wait for the rest now, i was expecting a bigger reaction to all of this from the normies, but maybe thats cuz they watch so many shows at once that they weren't into gurren 100% as they were watchin it, i know when i binged it that it hit much harder when i watched the first 15 episodes all in 1 day

    I don't think you noticed Kamina reversing his common phrase "Don't believe in yourself, believe in me who who believes in you" to "Believe in you who believes in yourself" during his final moments, knowing that he won't be there to boost Simon's confidence anymore.

    When they combine you can see in the computer graph that Kamina's cockpit doesn't light up and doesn't produce any energy. The energy came all from Simon at the end because Kamina already "died"

    #SUNDAYRUNDOWN Kamina's death here couldn't have been better, it really cements that Simon is the main character and Kamina's bigger than life personality. It shows how emotional this show can be in between all the hype it makes you feel. Honestly I don't know if I'd want them to change it, this is Kamina going out on top and part of the reason hes so iconic.

    • @Napstablooky

    It's nutty that Kamina was actually dead but his willpower was so strong that he came back to life to finish the fight
    This is the episode I've been waiting on since they started. This hits so hard because Shonen are always afraid to kill main characters. When you look at it, the show focuses on Simon but Kamina gets such good highlights that you think he'll at least be a main support but naaaaa, kill him off in the prologue and see what happens. That's brave writing

    • @MrRenanHappy

  • @SunriseOfRaven
    @SunriseOfRaven 5 місяців тому +3

    Kamina one of the baddest badasses of all time. Dropped inspirational speeches that still go hard to this day and straight up came back from the goddamn dead to finish the fight through will power.
    I mean return from the dead literally. When we see his digital representation during the last combination you can see that he’s still dead, he died and came back through will power. Even cooler is that in the later made manga version they gave him spiral eyes representing that he had an INSANE amount of spiral power(power of evolution and humanity potential/willpower).

    Ah yes, the episode where this series really takes off.
    Gurren Lagaan holds a very special place in my heart. About two years before I finally decided to watch it on Netflix, a cousin of mine passed away. We were very close growing up and he was basically the big brother I never had (and I’m an only child, so it really meant a lot having a brotherly bond with someone). He taught me how to be self confident and to always believe in myself. One morning when I got the news that he suddenly died, it seriously hit me hard. 😢
    So I know exactly what Simon will be going through the next few episodes.

      "reveals" to those who yet think Kamina is the main character, even after the entire show makes clearly that Simon is the main Character: He the first to appear in the opening, and in the end of the Opening looking to the Sky; He's the first character to appear in the first episode, and all episodes always follows Simon's view 90% of the episode; Kamina always stated that everything was thanks to Simon and Lagann; Leeron stated that Lagann is the font of Power of Gurren Lagann.

    If you think about it, it's a great plot-point. "Believe in me who believes in you" every single time except this episode. For this last time, Kamina basically told Simon to believe in himself. No Kamina in the middle. Something to push Simon's character forward. Not that it's going to be that easy. But it's a death that's not just there for shock value but as a turning point. There is no Kamina to rely on anymore. So where do Simon go from here? Simon whose sole boost of confidence was Kamina.

    I remember when this happened my first time watching I was so upset because kamina felt like the heart of the series and it just wouldn't be the same and I almost didn't even want to keep watching but I think the show actually does a really good job of intentionally exploiting that feeling. when someone that important dies, it's natural to grieve and for your motivation to waver and things really will never be the same but that doesn't mean you just stop or that you can't find something new.

    The thing is Simon crushing on Yoko isn't unnatural. Simon is around 10-12 years old whereas Yoko is 14 years old. He has what we call a puppy crush. And Kamina is only slightly mature than Simon which made Simon oblivious to the fact that Yoko likes his bro. It's actually heart wrenching.

    Great men are forged in fire. It’s the privilege of others to light the flame.
    It was never Kamina’s destiny to save the world. It was to light that fire in the hearts of others who would.

    I can never understand when people think Kamina is the MC. When i watched the anime for the first time, I figured out right away that Simon was the MC.
