Gurren Lagann

Kamina is jailed for trying to escape to the surface. Suddenly, a mysterious women named Yoko comes from aboves to the underground village while fighting a giant robot. Simon helps fend off the robot with the help of his new "Gunmen," which he found while drilling around.

Now above ground Kamina, Simon and Yoko find themselves faced with 2 more gunmen. They dispatch these 1 of them with the help of people from Yoko's home of Ritona town. Ritona is soon under attack by 3 more Gunmen, but some quick (and insane) thinking by Kamina saves them...

Simon, Kamina, and Yoko encounter a beastman by the name of Viral while they are hunting. They get into a fight and learn that his Gunman has 2 faces, the normal Gunman head and another head on top. He dispatches them at the field, but Viral says he will destroy them at the village tomorrow. Kamina and Simon have to find a way to beat a person who is a far superior pilot...

Leeron finds a return point programmed into Gurren and Kamina, Simon, Yoko and Leeron (now called the Gurren Brigade) go after it. Kamina tries to train Simon to fuse more "manly" by throwing rocks at him. They meet the Black siblings, who are after a certain gunmen with 16 faces.

The Gurren Brigade falls into an underground village where Gunmen are called Face gods. They meet a young man by the name of Rossiu and the head priest of the village. The head priest is very strict in the running of his village and Kamina has a big problem with the way things are run. Things get a lot worse when another Gunmen falls under ground.

After leaving the underground with their new brigade members, Rossiu, Gimmy and Darry, they get back on track to find the return point programmed into the Gurren. They soon find that the enemy return point is mobile. They find themselves in a weird fog and wind up at a hotspring, but there is something fishy about this particular hot spring... This is also a recap episode.

Following their ordeal at the hot springs, Viral appears before the Gurren Brigade to challenge Kamina and in the midst of their fight more details of the Beastman Empire are revealed. Just when things couldn't get more out of hand, one of the Four Divine Generals named Thymilph, arrives to support in a massive mobile Gunmen fortress, the Dai-Ganzan. Even the Gurren-Lagann may not stand a chance against this.

Kamina, Simon and the rest of the Great Gurren Brigade plan to take down Thymilph, one of the Four Divine Generals of the Spiral King, and his massive mobile Gunmen fortress, the Dai-Ganzan. Their plan involves having Simon using Lagann to take over the Dai-Ganzan the same way he fuses with the Gurren, but an something unexpected causes a great tragedy in the following battle.

The death of Thymilph has brought about the concern of the Spiral King (Lord Genome), meanwhile the Great Gurren Brigade managed to take control of the enemy fortress, but are still mourning other the death of one of their own. Simon is greatly affected by it and falls into a deep depression. After falling off a cliff and into a deep valley, he later notices a Gunman throw a capsule into the murky valley. He manages to open it only to discover a young human girl named Nia.
