After [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]] was 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 Teppelin|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]] absorbed into the Tengen Toppa Lagann, combining with the other Tengen Toppa Gunmen 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 larger than the observable universe and has the mass of an [[Infinite Multiverse Labyrinth|infinite multiverse]]. It possesses limitless spiral power, along with omnipresence. It is a manifestation of the limitless spiral power possessed by its creator and main pilot, [[Simon the Digger]], who previously absorbed an [[Infinite Multiverse Labyrinth|infinite multiverse]] prior to creating the STTGL.

Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann has no official stated size. However, its size can be estimated using available information.
 
   
According to an official guidebook, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is 10<sup>25</sup> times Gurren Lagann's height.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/translator/comments/6flmdz/japanese_english_a_piece_of_an_anime_databook_scan/</ref> But the guidebook is ambiguous on a few details, including Gurren Lagann's height (while the book assumes 5 meters for the Arc and Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann's heights, it's ambiguous if that applies to Tengen Toppa as well) and a potential 10x multiplier (the exact wording being "In traditional Gurren Lagann style it's multiplied by 10", with the past tense implying the mutiplication has already happened). As such, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann has four possible heights, ranging from 5.28 billion light years (with a 5-meter Gurren Lagann and no multiplier) to 158 billion light years (with a 15-meter Gurren Lagann and the 10x multiplier). Comparing STTGL's foot with the Granzeboma and extrapolating using the average foot-length-to-size ratio of an average person (6.6, times 10 due to Granzeboma being 1/10th STTGL's foot), the height of STTGL is one of these four values: 348.48 billion light years, 1.045 trillion light years, 3.48 trillion light years, or 10.45 trillion light years. For calculations on this page, the one-trillion-light-year figure will be used.

Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is very popular regarding its size, although it's impossible to calculate as the mecha is nothing but a materialized thought, and a higher dimensional entity (It doesn't exactly exist in the physical world).
After transforming into its drill form, its size is multiplied significantly, since its ''Super Tengen Toppa Giga Drill'' is approximately 20 times longer<ref>https://i.redd.it/2ujotvibink31.png</ref> (approximately 20 trillion light years) and at least sixteen times wider. This gives it a volume of 1.34 duodecillion cubic light-years, or approximately 3.3 million times the volume of the observable universe.

However, its physical size can be estimated using available information. Estimates for its height range from 348.48 billion light years to 10.45 trillion light years. Compared to the observable universe, which has a diameter of 93 billion light years, the STTGL is 3.7 to 112 times longer than the observable universe.

==Attack and abilities==
Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann was destroyed 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 physical combat.

'''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.

Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is shown to be almost equal in power to the Anti-Spiral's Super Granzeboma, but falls slightly short. Their very clash caused the very Super Spiral Space the fight was held in to collapse on itself and caused Super Spiral [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Crunch Big Crunch], which shown to suck every matters within it and making it a vacuum space.

The fact that Simon previously absorbed an infinite multiverse indicates that the STTGL effectively possesses infinite spiral power.

In addition, galaxies consist mostly of matter, whereas the universe consists mostly of empty space, which indicates that each galaxy in the Super Spiral Space contains more matter than en entire universe.</ref> 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'', a leminscate (infinity sign) appears, 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, along with the infinite multiverse he absorbed prior to that. 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.

Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is able to moves freely in Super Spiral Space, a space beyond time and space corresponding 11 dimensional reality, the speed of STTGL should be comparable and even faster to Simon who traversed all possible multiverses to save his comrades in short time. Additionaly comparable to the Ashtangas those able to travel beyond linear time and to the Anti-Spiral, beings capable of lightly transcend space time and controls multiple dimensions.
The ''Super Tengen Toppa Giga Drill'' is approximately 20 trillion 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 1 sextillion (10<sup>21</sup>) 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).<ref name="calculations">[https://www.reddit.com/r/gurrenlagann/comments/7aofal/some_super_tengen_toppa_giga_drill_calculations/ Some Super Tengen Toppa Giga Drill calculations]</ref> 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.

* 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.

Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

The Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (超天元突破グレンラガン Chō Tengen Toppa Guren Ragan?, literally "Super Heaven-Piercing Gurren Lagann"), informally known as STTGL, is a large, mecha-like mass of energy 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 was 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 absorbed into the Tengen Toppa Lagann, combining with the other Tengen Toppa Gunmen to form the Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It only appears in the second movie, and never appeared in the original television series.

Size

Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is very popular regarding its size, although it's impossible to calculate as the mecha is nothing but a materialized thought, and a higher dimensional entity (It doesn't exactly exist in the physical world).

However, its physical size can be estimated using available information. Estimates for its height range from 348.48 billion light years to 10.45 trillion light years. Compared to the observable universe, which has a diameter of 93 billion light years, the STTGL is 3.7 to 112 times longer than the observable universe.

According to an official guidebook, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is 1025 times Gurren Lagann's height. But the guidebook is ambiguous on a few details, including Gurren Lagann's height (while the book assumes 5 meters for the Arc and Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann's heights, it's ambiguous if that applies to Tengen Toppa as well) and a potential 10x multiplier (the exact wording being "In traditional Gurren Lagann style it's multiplied by 10", with the past tense implying the mutiplication has already happened). As such, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann has four possible heights, ranging from 5.28 billion light years (with a 5-meter Gurren Lagann and no multiplier) to 158 billion light years (with a 15-meter Gurren Lagann and the 10x multiplier).

Comparing STTGL's foot with the Granzeboma and extrapolating using the average foot-length-to-size ratio of an average person (6.6, times 10 due to Granzeboma being 1/10th STTGL's foot), the height of STTGL is one of these four values: 348.48 billion light years, 1.045 trillion light years, 3.48 trillion light years, or 10.45 trillion light years. For calculations on this page, the one-trillion-light-year figure will be used.

After transforming into its drill form, its size is multiplied significantly, since its Super Tengen Toppa Giga Drill is approximately 20 times longer (approximately 20 trillion light years) and at least sixteen times wider. This gives it a volume of 1.34 duodecillion cubic light-years, or approximately 3.3 million times the volume of the observable universe.

Mass

The Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann contains the mass of the Infinity Big Bang Storm that has the power on par with the birth of the entire universe, including the Multiverse Labyrinth composing many higher dimensional multiverses that branches infinitely with endless series of possibilities, the Super Spiral Space, higher-dimensional membranes, and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann itself as its head. The mass litterally is equal with the mass of the entire existence of Gurren Lagann franchise.

Its enormous mass indicates that it should have an 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 movie, the Super Tengen Toppa Giga Drill is shown to suck every matters in the entire Super Spiral Space and making it a vacuum space.

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 approximately 66 times taller than its preceding form, with the Granzeboma and all the Super Spiral galaxies looking tiny in comparison.

Attack and abilities

STTGL prepares to attack

The Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann with the face of Simon as he prepares the series' final Giga Drill Break.

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 and caused Super Spiral Big Crunch. This attack proved not strong enough to overcome the Anti-Spiral Giga Drill Break, only weaker by a small margin.

In addition, Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann 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, and manipulating space-time and probability.

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. It is also capable of matching the mind, soul, power, reality, space, time and probability manipulation abilities of the Anti-Spirals.

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, and negating any other reality-warping powers that an opponent attempts to use against it. The Anti-Spirals used mind, soul, power, reality, space, time and probability manipulation, all of which were negated by Simon and the STTGL with their own mind, soul, power, reality, space, time and probability manipulation abilities. Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann 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.

Power

Anti-Spiral Space

Clash between Super Tengen Toppa Giga Drill and Anti-Spiral Giga Drill in Super Spiral Space.

Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is an 11-dimensional mecha, as it contains the mass equal to the entire universe corresponding 11 dimensional cosmology within it.

Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is shown to be almost equal in power to the Anti-Spiral's Super Granzeboma, but falls slightly short. Their very clash caused the very Super Spiral Space the fight was held in to collapse on itself and caused Super Spiral Big Crunch, which shown to suck every matters within it and making it a vacuum space.

Speed

Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann has immeasurable ammount of speed, which is beyond the infinity of quantifiable number of measurable speed. Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is able to moves freely in Super Spiral Space, a space beyond time and space corresponding 11 dimensional reality, the speed of STTGL should be comparable and even faster to Simon who traversed all possible multiverses to save his comrades in short time. Additionaly comparable to the Ashtangas those able to travel beyond linear time and to the Anti-Spiral, beings capable of lightly transcend space time and controls multiple dimensions.

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.
  • Simon has inherited all of the spiral power that was generated by the Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann allowing him to defeated the Anti-Spiral as said by Imaishi on his interview, in fact the Spiral energy isn't coming from the mecha, it's coming from pilot. Because the robot itself is only an armor or amplifier. And it's big, it really big
