the creators in an interview confirmed that Kamina had straight up died in the first attack, he frikkin came back to kick ass and save his friends before his body gave out totally.
0:29 A very awesome note of detail. The stick figure representing Kamina is black, not orange like it normally is. He's already dead in the cockpit, but the man revived himself just *enough* to end it with the first and last time he generates his spiral power.
Kamina was like: death you have to wait I have to teach my bro one last thing for his own sake And death was like: I understand you take your time you fucking legend
Kamina actually died in the initial impact of the laser, but the dude was so fucking badass that he woke up from his death to teach his little bro a lesson
@@dreadhavoc i didn't remember writing this... i don't take credit. it was kamina's spirit giving me inspiration. damn i usually write shit that are incomprehensible
With no context, this looks like a finale and ultimatum of a long running series that spans for over 500-1000 episodes. But Gurren Lagann delivered this scene in only 8 episodes something that most shounen anime cannot do without long build-up of characters. Gainax really did go all out in this anime and it remains as one of the best and best looking anime of all time, and this scene remains as one of the most memorable scene in anime history.
I fucking thought so too, considering I watched this before actually checking the anime out without any prior knowledge. It was crushing to find out this was 8 episodes in, but holy shit the anime is so peak.
When you think about his feats, Kamina was actually pretty weak. However, without him being there simply to inspire, push and believe in people, beyond even his death, the entire universe would have stayed subjugated for hundreds of years. In short: Kamina believed in the universe that believed in itself and that was all it needed.
To quote another series: Power resides in where people believe it resides. It's a trick. A shadow on the wall. And a very small man can cast a very large shadow
Remember when kamina got his ass kicked by viral in the third episode until he combined with Simon? Then in this episode, he had viral on the ropes using only gurren. He went from amateur to expert in a matter of days. He was also super strong physically too (holding his own for a bit against viral solo and also rampaging through dozens of those gunmen in the hot tub episode) But I do agree with what you said about his spirit.
+Cheeeseo I know bro. I'm trying hard, but it's not working. I heard that there are Gurren Lagann movies, on a site I saw them categorized as 'alternative story", I-I had hope that it means that Kamina won't die... It was the worst decision in my life. The feeling are back. I'm being torn apart, I want to be free of this pain. I freaking love Gainax/Trigger, and probably that's why it hurts so much. No PSG season 2, Senketsu died, Kamina died. Hiroyuki Imaishi, why are you doing this to me?
@@CurrentSoulKing Legends say that Ryoma Nagare did badass normal better, Kouji Kabuto did hotblooded screaming better and Guy Shishio did undying determination better.
It's really sad that some people don't continue watching the show after this point. Because it's REALLY good and Kamina's final lesson here to Simon is what helps Simon become such a great protagonist.
It takes time. The fans had to grieve, I know I did. I had stopped watching it for like 2-3 months after this episode. It wasn't until I read a comment online about the anime and it's lore that inspired me to go back and finish it. I tell people all the time I was a boy before Gurren Lagann and became a man after.
I know not a single person that stopped here... and I'm talking about nowadays...back when it came out especially on the Chan heads were talking about this daily
I just think that the second half of the series just wasnt that good, it developed other themes like politics in a really poor manner and tried way to hard to form a complex story where it wasnt needed
I think the maxim of believing in someone who believes in you when you can't yourself is already a great message the show taught, but Kamina's final living words being about believing in yourself no matter what, for the sake of yourself alone, regardless of how much you believe in others, always struck a chord with me.
It sounds like nonsense, but when you think about it, it becomes not only sensible, but amazingly inspiring. "Believe in the Simon who believes in you." It completely blows the typical 'believe in yourself' idea out of the water because if it was that easy to just believe in yourself, nobody would ever have confidence issues. If you're scared or uncertain, then saying to believe in yourself is a platitude at best and utterly worthless advice at worst. How can you believe in yourself if you can't convince yourself that you're worth believing in? And what good is it to have some timid coward saying that they believe in you? But Kamina's last lesson to Simon forces him to go beyond that. He's not saying to Simon to believe in himself as he is now; he's implanting the idea of a version of Simon that DOES believe in himself. What would that Simon be like? What morals would he have? What would he say and think? What would he *do?* What would he BE? By separating Simon's current self from this potential one, he gives Simon something to strive for that, by definition, *can't* be impossible. That's why, when Simon gets past grieving Kamina and fights Guame, he ends his speech with, "I'm not my Bro: I'm ME!" Because that's the point when he finally comes to understand: All that he can be is himself, so he should be the strongest Simon he can be. He can't be Kamina. But he can be the Simon who learned from Kamina. He can be the Simon that grows to be a taller man than Kamina. He can be the Simon that believes in himself - because that Simon was there all along.
Living words? No. When Gurren and Lagann combined, Lagann's monitor indicated that the pilot was dead. Kamina died the instant he was struck down. But his fighting spirit reanimated his body for one final stand.
I don't know if that's true at the time, but if anyone who would drop it probably bc they want see Kamina leads the series all the way. We have already seen what the duo is capable of at that point in the series, his death adds more drama and tears, which is actually very good take, for a drama.
"Giga...! Drill...! BREAKER!!!" I've seen this clip a hundred times over, but that scream still has the power to send chills up and down my spine. Well done, Gainax.
Kamina coming back from the dead just to avenge himself is still one of the most badass things I've witnessed in my life, he still inspire me do be better everyday I carry him in my heart like he's family and he made my life so much better
Dude, Kamina inspired me to be the Kamina is people's lives. Now I spew out mantras and motivational speeches and walk around with my insanely cool sunglasses, yelling "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM" at walmart employees.
It took me until my senior year in HS to finally come out of my shell. And as possibly pathetic as having a fictional character influence you may sound, I owe it to Kamina. I wanted to be like him during my binge of this series. I identified hard with Simon's timidity and lack of self confidence. But every second, I wanted to be like Kamina. Kamina is a true bro. The coolest older brother one could ever have. An unshakeable resolve, endless optimism, and the coolest shades one could ever hope for.
There's absolutely no shame in being inspired by a fictional character. That's what they're made for, to inspire us with feats real people wouldn't be able to do! Fictional or not, never stop looking up to people who makes you want to be greater, king.
@@robonyoom Was going to say exactly this. I don't know how cynicism completely overtook the things we love, but never forget that we have always written these stories to inspire. Truly, believe in the fiction that believes in you.
Art imitates life imitates art. This may be a fictional character but he's the representation on screen of many people in the world who have made the impossible possible and inspired generations through it. You might even have one in your life, I know I had a bro once. The monomyth is a monomyth for a reason, everyone alive has the potential to live up to the myth. The details change but the fire of the soul is always there, just stoke the flames.
I have said it once and I will say it to the end my days and beyond, Kamina is one of the most inspirational and influential character in anime history. A man who realised that he himself would never managed to pierce through the heavens, that his life have been cut short in this fight. Instead of dying silently, he go out with a final giant explosion and inspires every one of his crew so that they can do what he himself can't. If I were to make a battle anime, I will make the final battle completely based on this fight alone. That's how great this fight is.
The Anos quote "Do you think killing me would be able to make me die?" Is basically what our man Kamina Is Doing man was already dead and still was like: "So anyways" I truely miss this moment, brings manly tears everytime I return to it..
there is nothing better than TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN in the UNIVERSE... thank you JAPAN for creating this masterpiece. . . SOREGA TENGEN TOPPA, SOREGA GURREN LAGANN!!!!
I don't think a certain scene has ever hit me as hard as this one. I remember tearing up the first time when he died, partially out of sadness but also out of admiration!
I still remember that time when the Goat said "Don't believe in the you that believes in me and don't believe in the me that believes in you. Believe in the you that believes in yourself." Giga drill breaker takes the cake
I feel truly lucky to have this to be my first anime I ever watched. But it also ruined me, because there are only few shows that are considerably equally good.
Even years after the fact, this remains a great moment. Kamina deciding being dead can wait a little bit, stepping up to give his bro one last piece of key advice and starting a new trend in finishing moves, avenging his own death in the process. Kamina truly was a greater man then the world of anime deserved, and I can only imagine how proud he'd be to see how far his bro Simon's come since.
i still remember i watched this anime when i was still in middle school, i was dying waiting every week on animax. damn time flies even 13 years later this anime is still number one anime in my list in my heart... nothing can beat this anime!! the speech, the characters, the story, everything is so epic!!!!
When Kamina died, it felt like i lost a friend. The show`s hidden meaning is to always believe in yourself and never give up.. keep on going on `till you acheive what your goal.
This is so incredibly heart rushing, loving and intense all at the same time. All these years later, I've not seen this scene in years. I'm in tearing up!
I seriously just watch this clip anytime im bored and it never fails to give me goosebumps, even though i watched it very often. I wonder when it will fail to deliver...
Telling Simon to believe in himself, rather than believing in anything else, for some reason, the way he said it and coming from Kamina, it's so powerful dude
I think Kamina never had a large level of spiral energy, but he knew that Simon had the potential to become extremely powerful. So by using Simon as a battery he showed him the possibilities of spiral energy and how to evolve it even further.
This sequence always gives me goosebumps to the point where I start getting teary eyed.... Kaminas voice actor really made it perfect, you physically can't do it better than this!
I'm a teacher, and whenever my students are unconfident and insecure, I always tell them "Don't believe in yourself. Believe in me who believe in you." And it helps. Thank you Kamina, for teaching me one of the greatest lessons of my life.
I gotta say, I just loved the epicness of this clip when I was young. coming back to actually watch the series 15 years later and catching this line really hit hard.
I've had the time to think about this episode and I came to this conclusion: Kamina has the power to stop the doubt of humans, to make them strong; but Simon has the power to bring the best out of someone. Both completed each other, but only 1 person's trait could be brought out. Now that Kamina died, Simon had to inherit that trait and make sure he brought the best out of everyone and kept them strong. And at the start of this battle I thought Kamina's behavior was a bit suspicious, but I think Kamina knew what was going to happen that day. His plan of attack, his conversations with everyone and his resolve for that battle; all gave me the idea that he knew, that Kamina himself knew he was going to die there, and he knew Simon would inherit his strength and succeed him.

Honestly. THat's the way I want it to be. Kamina died. But his fighting spirit lived just long enough for another attack.
That’s kinda sad but more epic in a way
I always wonder. Did kamina awaken spiral power before his death? Because I believe that’s the only way he could’ve survived

I always like to think that it’s cuz he never made it past the timeskip. I’m sure he would’ve became crazy strong

Ok I'm sorry to say this but this I think definitely referenced in Kirby: Planet Robobot AND I LOVE IT! BOTH SCENES ARE BLOODY EPIC AS HELL!
Telling Simon to believe in himself, rather than believing in anything else, for some reason, the way he said it and coming from Kamina, it's so powerful dude
best anime ever.
Kamina was so determined even death was impressed enough to allow him to finish the fight
Not a single scene in visual media ever since has matched this level of hype.
I do believe that this anime is just centered about how great drills are
3 years....3 years it's being since this series got aired, and still makes my blood go hot as hell.
9 years now, still the best anime i have ever watched

Anyone here 17 years later?
Just who the hell you think I am
I think this is the best scene in any anime.
_Later, Buddy…_
2:08 I was today years old when I realized gurren lagann has drill fangs when it uses giga drill breaker
It's been so long,and this scene still gives me Chills man.....so good
I think Kamina never had a large level of spiral energy, but he knew that Simon had the potential to become extremely powerful. So by using Simon as a battery he showed him the possibilities of spiral energy and how to evolve it even further.
one of the best moments of anime history!!!! :)
This sequence always gives me goosebumps to the point where I start getting teary eyed....
Kaminas voice actor really made it perfect, you physically can't do it better than this!
しゃべり方が全力でほんと好き
サンシャイン池崎の原点 それに関してはとても熱い..
Let me tell you that some manly tears were shed here. What a goddamn sendoff.
1:39 at first this saying didn't make sense but now i understand exactly what it means.
When ever I wanna feel sum , I come watch this or ace die to make sure I’m still dialed in
We’re close to a million views boys. 10k left.
Edit: 8k now
I'm a teacher, and whenever my students are unconfident and insecure, I always tell them "Don't believe in yourself. Believe in me who believe in you." And it helps.
Thank you Kamina, for teaching me one of the greatest lessons of my life.
This anime is fucking good and a MUST WATCH
In terms of budget... we have unlimited budget
Ah yes about the budget, there is no budget.
this is the first anime that had fall in love with anime. now I came back after years later
Best anime moment EVER! i cried manly tear while i see that Kamina will live forever in our hearts!!!!
Its watched this and got glassy eyes 16 years after 😵
cant wait for the movie version of this ^.^ still love this moment such a great charecter kamina was XD
I gotta say, I just loved the epicness of this clip when I was young. coming back to actually watch the series 15 years later and catching this line really hit hard.
I still get goose bumps when I see this! The best finisher I've seen in anime.
Beating a boss with the bestie before they log off, never to be seen again
So much nostalgia
I've had the time to think about this episode and I came to this conclusion:
Kamina has the power to stop the doubt of humans, to make them strong; but Simon has the power to bring the best out of someone. Both completed each other, but only 1 person's trait could be brought out. Now that Kamina died, Simon had to inherit that trait and make sure he brought the best out of everyone and kept them strong.
And at the start of this battle I thought Kamina's behavior was a bit suspicious, but I think Kamina knew what was going to happen that day. His plan of attack, his conversations with everyone and his resolve for that battle; all gave me the idea that he knew, that Kamina himself knew he was going to die there, and he knew Simon would inherit his strength and succeed him.
Thank you
