    Attention Spiral Beings! I must admit I missed a few things in my breakdown, turns out Simon is even stronger! The galaxies in the final battle are actually small universes, Simon himself is 11th dimensional due to absorbing the multi-dimensional labyrinth, and as the epilogue shows us, he’s continued to escalate in power, further surpassing the Anti-Spirals and is likely strong enough to combat the spiral nemesis itself. This puts him in the high complex multiversal-outerversal range! I’ve decided to keep the video as is because I’m very proud with how it turned out!

      @@Beresunablle It's confirmed by the creators that they were in fact universes, but they had no way to draw it besides making them look like galaxies. Since the Anit-Spiral universe sits on the edge of the multiverse, it can gain access to a multitude of uiverses, like when they reached out to grab a hold of Earth.

    The anti spirals unkowingly handicapped themselves. They were so afraid of their own power they essentially voluntarily all gave up their lives to combine their power into one massive hive mind. Their error was believing there was a cap to their power. Simone saw every attempt to stop him or limit him as just another barrier to drill through, including his own limitations. He beat the anti spirals at their own game becuase they believed in limitations and he did not.

    • @nicolapodgornik6644
      @nicolapodgornik6644 5 месяцев назад +22

      Well, they did know what they were doing , and it wasn’t an easy choice for them either. They thought it was the only way to stop the endless cycle of the spiral, literally stopping it from drilling on. It was a choice, we never see what happens next, if the spiral goes unchecked. What’s truly affascinating about ttgl is that Simon could very well become the antispiral at any point, or even better, the anti spiral IS Simon. Always repeating the endless cycle, such as a spiral (or an oroboro for that matter)

    I like how in the end, he doesn’t continue to use his powers for universal endeavors and such. He becomes a homeless guy who helps small villages find water (in the movies) and helping kids open coconuts. He leaves it to the future generation. He even said it during the final fight, “this drill will open a hole in the universe, and that hole will be a path for those behind us.” If Gurren Lagann continued, the kid with the coconut would probably become stronger than Simon.

    10:38 The writers actually confirmed those are universes. They just didnt know how to draw them so they just made the galaxy bigger. Look at the zoom out post tike labrynth. Why would they zoom out from a galaxy to another galaxy? It also makes sense with the scaling of the show. Since anti spiral is a 10D being, a big bang is virtually nothing to them.

    like by the shows own rules Spiral power just straight up ignores logical reasoning in favour of "winning anyway as long as we think we can". Just completely the "I reject your reality and substitute my own" mindset but done is such a great way that it's always amazing.
    Simon win's basically any *but can he beat...* argument because to put it simply "Simon's strength/power = yes". Spiral power allows him to be as strong as required as long as he believes it to be so...And like by the end of the show there's a less than 0% chance of breaking his spirit anymore.
    It's literally the rule of cool except in this setting not making sense even in context just makes it make even more sense.

      About the only thing that can beat Simon is narrative tiering.

      For example: Popeye in one cartoon stepped out of his animation cell to threaten the artist.

    I always read the Anti-Spirals as an inevitable consequence of Energy in the Universe, Malevolence aside, they're a result of how energy grows. And Simon's overwhelming of them was a message about the Human Spirit's ability to constantly grow. Not reactionary, but proactive.
    It's still ridiculous, but I think the message of humans overcoming obstacles, regardless of size, is the intention. It's not necessarily something I agree with, but it's inspiring.

  • @ReasonNovemDecillion
    @ReasonNovemDecillion 8 месяцев назад

    this is how I believe spiral power functions: spiral power itself is proportionate to opposing forces and obstacles, it scales up near equivalent energy and is dependent on the user to bridge the gap or surpass it but the growth is exponential. If a man fights a beast maybe he'll gain capability to defeat it with enough effort and intelligence but he couldn't fight anything stronger until he reaches that level. And in the world of Gurren lagann it seems to be best manifested and harnessed through some kind of vessel like a vehicle or mecha but at some point someone can become powerful enough to render those mute. Spiral Power is the ability to Overcome but not necessarily make up or manifest something like wishful thinking at least not until youre altering the laws of a universe itself. It's not a power that just grows with screaming or wishing or wanting something so much, not a power that is all powerful to begin with or strong, and it's not without cost, it can be just evolution which takes millions of years or something that in a moment needs to rise to usurp despair, pain and suffering.
    i'd also like to point out that in many instances spiral power was used not just as brute force but as a spear to hit vital points to forces that seemed all imposing and nigh unimpeachable.
    this is also why I think spiral power is better than abilities like the transformations in dragon ball where a character can just get stronger because they want or need to and try hard or long enough. in gurren lagann there is risk and there is immense loss, there are consequences, conditions and counters and even some strategy, not merely whos beam is stronger (yeah the giant drill off seems like that but we actually lost that fight until it was left to simon to try something different)
