Episode 14

Sypnois
One month has past since the battle with Cytomander and Simon and Yoko pay one last visit to Kamina burial site. Because Great Gurren Brigade has arrived at the outskirts of Imperial City Teppelin, meaning it is finally time for the final battle to commence. Nevertheless before they even aim towards the city the must first deal with the combined full-scale attack of Cytomander and Guame's forces. Just then, lots of people come to help. It is an entire force of Gunmen all flying Kamina’s flag and piloted by people who had seen what happened in the previous battle between Simon and Guame. These reinforcements start pounding away at the Dai-Gunten, and with the tide of battle turning against him, Cytomander is forced to transform the Shuzack.

Unfortunately for him, it’s too little too late because the Dai-Gurren proceeds to smack right into him and then crash into the Dai-Gunten, ripping it apart. The fireball that was Cytomander’s Dai-Gunten falls right on top of Guame’s Dai-Gundo, but the battle doesn’t end there because the Dai-Gundo appears unscathed after the explosion. It heads back towards Teppelin, and to everyone’s shock, the Dai-Gundo starts spinning under the capital. As the human forces get close to it, they suddenly start getting blown around by enormous wind forces originating from the murderous merry-go-round. Leeron realizes that the Dai-Gundo combined with Teppelin to generate an energy wall, meaning that if they don’t stop the Dai-Gundo, they can’t get near the capital. Their new human allies then start charging towards this energy wall and getting themselves destroyed, and the Dai-Gurren crew can’t do anything because the twister in front of them is preventing communication. However, an image of Nia suddenly appears in front of everyone, and she yells for them to please stop.

Introducing herself as the person in charge of cooking, Nia explains that Teppelin has been wrapped in a wall of light. She urges everyone to wait because she believes that the twister will be stopped soon by Simon. Pointing upward, Nia explains that Simon’s drill is a drill that will pierce the heavens. In fact, Simon and Rossiu are at that very moment digging through the ground underneath the Dai-Gundo, and they emerge directly below it. The Gurren Lagann attempts to drill up through the Dai-Gundo, but the larger Gunmen simply fires its thrusters downward to counteract the upward force. Yoko and the others become afraid that the Gurren Lagann got smashed, but not only is Simon still alive, he’s actually grateful because the impact of that allowed the tip of his drill blade to pierce through the bottom of the Dai-Gundo. Simon now renews his attack and uses the drill to reverse the direction the Dai-Gundo is spinning in, and he also succeeds in drilling through the Dai-Gundo, right through Guame’s own torso. This completely destroys the Dai-Gundo and dispels the wall around Teppelin, but even now the battle does not appear to be over because the capital suddenly reveals itself to have a enormous face.
