Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (2007) s01e07 Episode Script
You're Gonna Do It!!
This is the story of a man who has yet to realize what his destiny is.
Days of constant fighting continue as they search for the enemy base.
Just when they thought that a new journey was about to begin after they foiled the underhanded trap set by the bathhouse Gunmen, an enormous figure suddenly appeared.
This was the beginning of a new set of trials.
It's been a long time, hasn't it, you naked ape?! Wait, you're I see that you've had your fun lately, but that is at an end today.
I've come to settle this once and for all! Viral! Now You will return my helmet to me! Or so I'd like to say But first things first.
Put some clothes on! Episode 7: You're Gonna Do lt! You're being awfully understanding, giving us time to get dressed like this! Defeating a NAKED naked ape will win me no honors.
Warriors of the Capital prize decorum above all else! The Capital? That must be their base, Bro! Our "base"? It is nothing so unimportant as a mere base! The Capital is unique, and it is eternal! It is the sole example of civilization on the surface, ruled by the Spiral King! Spiral King? Civilization, huh? Damn you, return my helmet this instant! After all that speechifying, THAT'S all you want?! You seem determined to utterly and completely make an enemy of the Capital.
Very well, learn now the power of the Capital! A mountain? A mountain? Since when do mountains shoot at you?! It's moving! What?! Who is that?! What has this kind of firepower? Do you now know the power of the Capital? Yikes.
Surrender and return my helmet to me! No, YOU give up and be happy with that freaky bird crest doohickey! That's enough of your impudence.
Its huge! Enormous! - Incredible - Massive! It's so gigantic! Goodness, I'm blushing Do you see? This is Dai-Gunzan, the mobile fortress Gunmen! Bro, that thing is way too big for us.
This oughta be good.
This isn't good.
This is the point! It's the recall point! It overlaps perfectly with the Gunmen point of origin we've been searching for! It makes sense that their base is mobile.
It's a Gunmen, too! You seem to be having some trouble, Viral.
Sir.
My apologies, sir.
There's a Beastman piloting that one, too? Kamina! Get back! It's too dangerous! That guy seems to be the Gunmen's boss! This looks like it'll be fun.
Nobody's cast such a big shadow over me before.
Don't think you're going home unscathed, buddy! Look, Bro, maybe we're the ones who should be leaving.
W-We're no match for something this big! We're gonna knock him on his ass BECAUSE he's big! What's the matter? Lost your nerve? Butt out, cannon fodder! You puny humans have gotten too big for your britches.
You have incurred the wrath of the Spiral King.
I, one of the Spiral King's Four Generals, have come to put you in your place! I see you up there! - Kamina! - Kamina! Kamina! We're getting out of here! Hurry! - Son of a bitch! - Hey! Did you see that, human? You can try to steal as many Gunmen from us as you want, but they are ineffective before the might of my Dai-Gunzan! Kamina! Who's the ineffective one here? That didn't hurt, it didn't even tingle.
Don't mess with Gurren Lagann! It's no use, our left leg is damaged! What's the matter, have you run out of fight already? Would you give it a rest already?! There's a time to give up, and this is it! Kamina, I suggest we withdraw for now and formulate a proper strategy! I think we're in big trouble this time.
Are you kidding me?! Never retreat, never surrender, never look back! That's how me and Simon see the world! Kamina! No more talk! What is this, a guy never says die? Huh? It's It's fixed! Fighting spirit! You never get anywhere by running away! Fine! See if I care! You blockhead! Who asked you! Get back! Look out! Look out! Damn it! Isn't there any way we can get on top of this thing?! There's just too much cannon fire! It's hopeless! All right, then What's the matter? Have you finally given up, human? For humans, your tenacity was admirable.
Your resistance was brave, but doomed to fail.
Dai-Gunzan's concentrated cannon fire will smash you to charred scrap! Lmpossible! Fire! Fire! Fire! Man on Fire! Blazing Chariot Kick! Something doesn't seem right over there.
Did Kamina die? I don't know.
No way would Kamina buy it! But there was that huge explosion Something's coming! What is? G-Gunmen! Run away! I won't let a single one of you filthy humans escape me.
General Thymilph! Look at the Gunmen on our deck! Viral's status? Unconscious! Worthless! If only I had my rifle! We're surrounded! Amazing! It took out three of them at once! It doesn't seem to be an enemy The gold plating on that Gunmen looks rather haphazard.
If you're not an enemy, go to Kamina! Save him! Help us! What's that bozo Kamina gotten himself into now? #Encodergasm Presents Gurren Lagann #Encodergasm Presents Gurren Lagann Now, then You're the head honcho, huh? So, I finally get to see your face! I am one of the Spiral King's Four Generals Thymilph the Raging Wave.
Yeah, whatever! Dig the wax outta your ears and listen up! He takes the blazing sun in his bare hands and endures the heat! He's a man's man who is sustained by strength of will! When you hear of the great Kamina, they're talkin' about ME! You'd best remember it! I'm really scared here, Bro Relax, Simon! As long as we stay up here, they won't risk shooting! Are you sure about that? I won't tolerate your big mouth, not here atop my own Dai-Gunzan! When it comes to big mouths, Dai-Gunzan's is by far the biggest! Splat! I'll tear you limb from limb! W-We're coming apart! It's about to tear! Rip apart! Split asunder! Ow! Who's there? General Thymilph! Over there! A Gunmen! A Gunmen saved us? Get clear while we keep them busy! I know that voice! That's right, it's Dayakka from Littner! Kittan of the Black Siblings is here, too! Sorry to keep you waiting, Kamina! Who are you? It's me! Kittan! Did you forget already?! What the hell are you guys doing with Gunmen? Because of you.
Me? You got your hands on Gurren, so now everybody is copying you.
I'm not copying anybody! "Everybody"? That's right.
From what I hear, more of our friends will be here soon.
Our friends? Filthy humans Scheming vermin! Shoot! Shoot them! Attack! Geez, nothing but cannon fodder again.
I wish they'd send some This is bad! They're ganging up on Kamina and Simon! Um, hello? Kamina? Do you read me? The shape it's in now, you don't have a chance of winning in Gurren Lagann! If you're defeated now, who's going to lead our new allies? If you die here, who's going to lead us?! Get off my case! Like I said, you'll never get anywhere by running away! Bro! Yeah, what?! Yoko's right! Let's retreat just this once! What the hell? Have you lost your nerve? Yes! My nerve is done and gone! Chicken! If means getting you home in one piece, I'll lose my nerve if that's what it takes! I mean, everyone's waiting for you! Bro! We can't.
Take a look, Simon.
If we turn our back on these guys, we'll be sitting ducks.
Either way, unless we pin this thing down, we don't have a hope of winning our fight! That's true, but how do we Bro! I have an idea! Say what? Let me handle this! All right.
I'll leave this fight to you.
You won't escape! What the hell? What's he trying to do? There's nowhere left to run! Their back is to a cliff Were those kids really that foolish? It's all over! Yeah, for you! What?! Stinking humans What are you up to? I'll crush you underfoot! Kamina, you bastard! Hey, don't look at me, pal.
Mark my words, naked ape! Don't think this means you've won! Dai-Gunzan is the merest fraction of the Capital's military might! And you have just made an enemy of that might! Mark my words! We will be back tomorrow! Say your prayers! That's our Simon the Digger! Way to go! Bro! Whaddya think? This is a bunch of people from all over who have been resisting the Gunmen! They heard rumors about a couple morons fighting in a stolen Gunmen, and they gathered together to join the fight! We all caught your stupidity bug.
Fighting spirit repaired the armor, did it? Yeah, but it disappeared as soon as I separated from Lagann.
I thought as much.
Come to think of it, what did you do with your village's women and children? Oh, them.
We left them in the care of Jeeha Village.
I'm surprised our chief agreed.
Gurren Lagann is a symbol of hope for humanity, more so than you know.
Still, you should be careful.
Good intentions can sometimes tempt people down the wrong path.
Just as it did in my village.
Forehead Boy! There you go again, talking like you know it all! Smarty-pants.
I'm Zorthy.
I'm Kid.
Me, I'm Iraak.
I'm J-J-Jorgun.
I'm B-B-Balinbow.
Okay, fine, whatever.
Nice to meet you.
But for now Okay, you bozos! I'm glad you could make it! About that huge Gunmen from this afternoon You can be sure that it'll come back tomorrow! In which case I say we steal that big-ass Gunmen from them! We're gonna help ourselves to it! And after tomorrow, it's gonna be our headquarters! Pretty sweet, huh?! We've come this far by stealing Gunmen from the Beastmen! There's nothing to be afraid of! Yeah, but how are we gonna do that, Bro? That's easy! YOU'RE gonna do it.
Huh? M-Me?! Listen, when Gurren Lagann combines, it's accomplished by Lagann taking over Gurren's systems.
That's Gurren Lagann's strength.
That means that if Lagann can combine with Dai-Gunzan, it will be able to take over its systems.
It'll be okay.
You can do it, Simon.
Lagann's power is also linked It'll be okay.
You can do it, Simon.
to Simon's mental energy.
Depending on your spirit, it Are you paying attention, Simon? What a beautiful moon.
Just being able to see this makes me glad I came up to the surface.
We have to win.
We can't afford to be slowed down, not now.
We'll keep stealing and stealing and stealing their weapons.
We have to keep winning until they give up on the idea of attacking us.
And besides, I wanna give Simon and Forehead Boy and Gimmy and Darry a world where kids can look up at the sun without a care in the world.
Kamina.
Yeah, what? You have more brains than I gave you credit for.
Who the hell do you think I am? With Kamina! Badass leader of the indomitable Team Gurren, that's who.
You're wrong.
We're not Team Gurren.
We're now Team DAl-Gurren! Even so, I don't want you to do anything crazy like you did today.
Up until now, there was always a method to your madness.
I could always tell myself, "If anybody can pull it off, it's Kamina.
" But this afternoon was different.
That wasn't reckless or even crazy.
That was plain stupid! You rushed in there without thinking it through, and if Simon hadn't been there, you might have been killed.
I I guess that frightened me.
Kamina.
Simon! Don't be scared! Simon, if anybody can do it, it's you! Yeah, I guess you're right.
Flames are coming from that mountain! The mountain is belching up fire and setting the earth ablaze Talk about a fitting setting for a once-in-a-lifetime fight! Now I'm psyched! To Be Continued Next Time Listen, Simon.
Never forget this.
Believe in yourself.
Not in the Simon that I have faith in, Not in the Kamina that you believe in, either.
Believe in the Simon who believes in you! Later, Buddy
