Epic robots, epic fights, epic epicness - with so much epic win, is it any wonder Gurren Lagann is an epic source for so many epic quotes? Here is our epic selection.
SPOILER WARNING
"A real man never dies, even when he's killed!"
—Kamina who even when he's killed, never dies.
|
"Don't believe in yourself! Believe in me! Believe in the Kamina who believes in you!"

"Your drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens!"
|
"I'm going to tell you something important now, so you better dig the wax out of those huge ears of yours and listen! The reputation of Team Gurren echoes far and wide. When they talk about its badass leader - the man of indomitable spirit and masculinity - they're talking about me! The mighty Kamina!"
|
"Listen up, Simon. Never forget. Just believe in yourself. Not in the Simon that I believe in; not in the Kamina that you believe in, either. Believe in the Simon who believes in you."
—Kamina in episode 8, right before performing the first Giga Drill Breaker, then dying for good.
|

(wielding one of Gurren Lagann's drills) "This is Simon's soul! Team Dai-Gurren's soul! Humanity's soul... and actually, it's MY SOUL! Do you seriously think it's gonna be wiped out by the likes of you?! King... Kittan... GIGA... DRILL... BREAK!!!"

"My bro is dead. He's gone! But he's right there on my back, and here in my heart! He lives on as a part of me! If you're gonna dig, dig to the heavens. No matter what's in my way, I won't stop! Once I've dug through - it means that I've won! ... Just who the hell do you think I am? I'm Simon. I'm not my Bro! I'M ME!! Simon the Digger!" |
"My name is Simon. Leader of Team Dai-Gurren: Simon the Digger. If you decide that you're going to be a wall that's standing in my way, then I have something that will open a hole in you every time! And that something... is my drill!"
—Simon opens a hole in Lordgenome.
|
Anti-Spiral: "How can this be? Where are you drawing all of this power from?" —Simon tells us the theme of the series right before the following:
|
Anti-Spiral: That is the path that leads to extinction. Why can't you see the pathetic limitation of the Spiral race? —Simon utterly rejects the Anti-Spiral's pessimistic philosophy.
|
"People ask, "Why do you fight? Why do you kill? Why do you destroy?" They will die with these questions unanswered. That is humanity's bliss."
—Lordgenome narrating the prologue to the first Compilation Movie.
|
Kamina: We brawlers are sustained by willpower! Even when mocked as reckless and crazy! —Kamina and Simon in their last, and most epic, combination.
|
Simon: We embark on the winding spiral path! The paths of man and beast intersect! —Simon and Viral, showing us the meaning of Big Damn Heroes.
|
Simon: Smashing through both karma and fate! —Simon and Viral, about to kick the ass of said mothership.

|
"Get going, Simon. Just don't be distracted by the what-ifs, should-haves, and if-onlys. The one thing you choose yourself - that is the truth of your universe."
—Kamina, freeing Simon from the Anti-Spiral's labyrinth
|
Anti-Spiral: "Impossible! Sentient life-forms can't possibly escape from a muti-dimensional labyrinth." —The whole Dai-Gurren-dan as they combine to create the titular mech of the series.
|
Anti-Spiral: Foolish creatures, drunk on your spiral power. Do you possess the resolve to do that? —The Anti-Spiral. What was that about stopping your emotions, again?
|
Anti-Spiral: You continue to struggle, even knowing what you know? —The Anti-Spiral and Simon duel in dialogue only marginally less epic than the galaxy-sized mecha combat they're also fighting in.
|
Anti-Spiral: Infinity Big Bang Storm! —The Anti-Spiral performs its ultimate attack.
|
"This is bad... But it'll take a lot more than this to finish them!"
—Rossiu, while the Dai-Gurren-dan is being attacked by the power of a freakin' Big Bang
|
Lordgenome: Simon! Leave this one to me. —Lordgenome holding off a Big Bang in his Lazengann, in preparation for the following lines:
|
Anti-Spiral: Your deaths will be for nothing! BEGONE! —Lordgenome, about to turn the energy of Big Bang into one giant drill
|
"Mark my words. This drill will open a hole in the universe! And that hole will be a path for those behind us! The dreams of those who have fallen... The hopes of those who will follow! Those two sets of dreams weave together into a double helix, drilling a path towards tomorrow! And that's Tengen Toppa. That's Gurren Lagann!! My drill is the drill... THAT CREATES THE HEAVENS!!!"
—Simon, right before the spectacular finishing move of the Final Battle.
|
How's that, Anti-Spiral? That's Team Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren's resolve! I'll say it as much as I have to! JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE!?
—Simon, in the second Compilation Movie, right as a galaxy-sized Space Volcano spontaneously forms and explodes behind him.

Yoko: With thoughts of a man gone in my heart, I knowingly took on this impossible fight. A womans got her pride. With a maiden's prayers and rage, I'll blast you away along with your cheap trap, so prepare yourself!!!! —Yoko in the manga
|
Kamina: What's the matter Simon? You lose your drill? Too bad. —Kamina breaks Simon out of the Lotus Eater Machine in the final battle.
|
- ↑ Even better? Word of God says that if Yoko hadn't shown up and interfered, Kamina would have won.
- ↑ For reference, the machine he referred to as "equal to the gods" was only the third most powerful mech the good guys use in the series.
