Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann



Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (超天元突破グレンラガン), informally known as STTGL, is a transcendent God-like being formed during the final battle with the Anti-Spirals in the second movie adaptation of the series, The Lights in the Sky are Stars.

After Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann had been destroyed by the Granzeboma, Team Dai-Gurren split its power into pieces to form their own separate Tengen Toppa Gunmen, including Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann's head becoming Tengen Toppa Lagann. The rest of said team was composed of a Tengen Toppa Gunmen for all surviving members, along with Nia. After a lengthy battle, Lordgenome sacrificed himself to absorb the Anti-Spiral's Infinity Big Bang Storm and create a mass of Spiral Power, which Simon absorbs into the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, combined to form the Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It only appears in the second movie, and never appeared in the original television series.

STTGL is a reality-warping hyperversal entity. It is nearly the size of the observable universe and has the mass of an infinite multiverse. It possesses infinite spiral power, along with omniscience and omnipresence. It is a manifestation of the infinite spiral power possessed by its creator and main pilot, Simon the Digger.

Size


Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is 52.8 billion light years tall, according to the official guide book from GAINAX (仕事魂). This makes it about 57% the size of the observable universe, which spans 93 billion light years.

After transforming into its drill form, its size is multiplied significantly, since its Super Tengen Toppa Giga Drill is at least ten times longer (528 billion light years), and about four times wider. This gives it a cone area over 180 times the size of the Super Tengen Toppa, and the size of over 100 universes.

Mass
The previous Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann form contains within it an entire Super Spiral Space, which includes an infinite multiverse, with each universe having 11 dimensions of reality. This would indicate that the mass of Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is on a multiversal to hyperversal scale.

Its enormous mass indicates that it has enormous gravitational pull, which would suck in objects at a gravitational force orders of magnitude greater than the combined gravitational force of all supermassive black holes in the observable universe. In the movie, the Super Tengen Toppa Giga Drill is shown to suck in the entire Super Spiral Space (which includes an infinite multiverse), with the infinity sign appearing, indicating an infinite gravitational force.

Appearance
This form resembled an immeasurable mass of spiral power in the form of a faceless Kamina, the former pilot of Gurren, original founder of Team Gurren, and Simon's surrogate older brother, though it has "hair" closer to Simon's, complete with crimson cape and Simon's star glasses. Its size appears to be more than a hundred times larger than its preceding form, with the Granzeboma and all the galaxies looking tiny in comparison.

Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann was lost when its Super Tengen Toppa Giga Drill Break was broken by the Super Granzeboma's Anti-Spiral Giga Drill Break. Even so, the ensuing decreasing scale of the Gurren Lagann line held off the Anti-Spiral. In the end, Simon surpassed the Anti-Spiral's power and defeated him in combat.

Attacks and abilities


Super Tengen Toppa Giga Drill Break - Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann forms a drill from Spiral Power out of its right fist (a variant of the Giga Drill Break). This drill is over 180 times larger than STTGL (in terms of cone area). When it collided with Anti-Spiral Giga Drill Break, an equivalent attack from the Super Granzeboma, they caused the very Super Spiral Space the fight was held in to collapse on itself. This attack proved not strong enough to overcome the Anti-Spiral Giga Drill Break, however, and only succeeded because all other forms of Gurren Lagann took its place after it was destroyed. In the end, Simon surpassed the Anti-Spiral's power and defeated him in combat.

In addition, Super Tengen Toppa has all the abilities of previous Gurren Lagann forms. These include abilities such as reality warping, creating energy and matter out of nothing, bringing large entities into existence, teleporting, traversing between dimensions and universes, tanking the Infinity Big Bang Storm, and manipulating space-time and probability.

STTGL is an 11-dimensional being, as it contains a Super Spiral Space within it. This makes it capable of 11-dimensional reality manipulation.

Examples of its space-time and probability manipulation abilities include punching holes through space-time, attacking targets at any point in space-time (in the past, present, and future), attacking through space-time without moving, and manipulating probability such that a 0% chance of survival becomes a 100% guarantee of victory. Its reality-warping and probability manipulation abilities go even further in being able to negate and cancel out any reality-warping powers used by opponents, such as negating any attempts to attack it through space-time, negating any form of reality manipulation (including mind, soul and probability manipulation), and negating any other reality-warping powers that an opponent attempts to use against it. This essentially makes Super Tengen Toppa an omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent entity.

Super Tengen Toppa also has other abilities previously demonstrated by its creator and main pilot, Simon, up until that point, such as telepathy, negating mind and soul manipulation, limitless spiral power growth, and erasing an infinite multiverse out of existence with his thoughts (and absorbing it into the Tengen Toppa).

Power


Prior to the STTGL's creation, Simon had escaped from the Infinite Multiverse Labyrinth, a multiverse consisting of infinite universes, which he absorbed entirely to create Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. In turn, absorbing the Infinity Big Bang Storm results in the creation of Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann in the second film. This points to both Simon and his creation, the STTGL, possessing infinite power.

The Super Spiral Space is a hyperverse with an infinite multiverse contained within it, in addition to 11 dimensions of reality in each universe within the multiverse. A single dimension of the Super Spiral Space is shown to be at least thousands of times larger than the Super Tengen Toppa's drill form in terms of area, while individual "galaxies" within it are shown to be nearly as large as the Super Tengen Toppa, which means each "galaxy" is nearly as large as the observable universe. This makes each dimension of the Super Spiral Space the size of hundreds of thousands of universes, with the mass of millions of universes. In the clash between the Super Tengen Toppa Giga Drill and Super Granzeboma's Anti-Spiral Giga Drill, the Infinity sign appears, showing their power to be infinite, before the entire Super Spiral Space hyperverse is destroyed in the clash between Super Tengen Toppa and Super Granzeboma, each shown to be nearly equal in power.

Super Tengen Toppa is shown to be almost equal in power to the Anti-Spiral's Super Granzeboma, but falls slightly short. The only other entity more powerful than the Super Tengen Toppa is its own creator and main pilot, Simon, who later defeats the Anti-Spiral without using any mech, but with a drill he creates from his blood. This is due to Simon inheriting all of the Spiral Power that was generated by the Super Tengen Toppa. Simon is later mentioned to have the soul manipulation power of reviving the dead (which he refuses to abuse), and is compared to a God, implying that he is omnipotent.

Speed
The Super Tengen Toppa Giga Drill is 528 billion light years long (the length of about six universes), and STTGL can traverse that distance in under a split-second. That means STTGL's traversal speed is at least more than 100 quintillion (1020) times faster than the speed of light.

The Super Tengen Toppa Giga Drill spins at a very fast and smooth pace, which would indicate a spin rate of approximately 240 rpm (rotations per minute). Since the drill's diameter is over 211 billion light years (four times STTGL's size), its circumference is approximately 1.33 trillion light years. At 240 rpm, this indicates a spinning speed of about 320 trillion light-years per minute. This is equivalent to over 5.3 trillion light-years per second, or nearly 200 quintillion times faster than the speed of light.

Energy
The kinetic energy produced by the rotations of the Giga Drill Break is estimated to be 4.2×1096 joules (4.2×1087 gigajoules). In comparison, the total mass-energy of the observable universe is 4.2×1069 joules. This would mean the Giga Drill Break produces kinetic energy equivalent to the total mass-energy of 1 octillion (1027) universes.

The total mass-energy of the Super Tengen Toppa is technically infinite. The STTGL contains within it an entire infinite multiverse. An infinity sign also appears during the clash between the Giga Drills of the Super Tengen Toppa and Super Granzeboma, indicating infinite energy.

Trivia

 * In theory, the Super Tengen Toppa Giga Drill Break did not fail to break the Anti-Spiral Giga Drill Break. It required the STTGL to weaken the indestructibility of the Super Granzeboma at the cost of its own structural integrity while combining every Giga Drill Break in history to finish destroying its only rival.
 * Another theory is that the enormous Spiral Power generated by the Super Tengen Toppa Giga Drill Break was simply concentrated down into a single point, Simon himself. This is similar to how a drill eventually concentrates all its drilling power into a single point, allowing Simon to defeat the Anti-Spiral in hand-to-hand combat. In essence, Simon has inherited all of the spiral power that was generated by Super Tengen Toppa.
