01x10 - Who Is This Bro?

Post by bunniefuu »

This is the tale of a man who continues to fight against destiny.

Simon uses fighting to try to distract himself from the hard blow of losing Kamina.

Lagann goes out of control, and when it stops, Simon meets a mysterious girl who appears from out of a box.

When Adiane the Elegant, one of the Four Generals, att*cks Dai

-Gurren, the girl runs out and says the following: First Princess Nia, daughter of Spiral King Lordgenome, orders you!

Leave us!

One of the Four Generals: Adiane the Elegant

- Impossible!


- She says she's Princess Nia, ma'am Don't be stupid!

A princess wouldn't go wondering around outside the Capital!

But ma'am, she looks exactly like her.

Adiane's Custom Gunmen: Sayrune You think so?

In that case, we'll just k*ll her and pretend we never saw her!

General Adiane, please watch what you say!

All of our transmissions are being recorded!

Her back is turned!

Did our little princess really stop her?

Fire main cannons!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Weren't you listening?

They're still offline.

Listen, stinking humans!

Get this straight, I'm not retreating!

I'll be back, got it?

What's a "princess"?

It's what you call the daughter of a king.

Unbelievable, we've got the daughter of the guy we're fighting on board.

Does this mean we use her as a hostage?

What's the plan, Kittan?

- Yeah, what's the plan?

- Tell us the plan!

In any case, we'll interrogate her first thing tomorrow morning.

I'll put the screws to her and make her spill everything she knows!

Episode 10: Who is this Bro Person?

Teppelin, Royal Capital Audience Chamber Adiane the Elegant fled in the face the enemy?

What manner of joke is this?

Sire.

The dastardly enemy was holding Princess Nia hostage.

You fool.

I have long since cast her out.

I do not care what happens to her.

Cast her out?

But Sire, I was not informed of this development You dare use that to excuse your failure?

No, Sire.

Adiane, you committed the grave offense of fleeing in the face of the enemy, all to protect a girl who is no longer a princess.

Oh, the absurdity of it all Please, Sire!

Give me another chance.

Oh?

You dare tell me what to do?

I would not dream of it, Sire!

What is it, then?

To prove my loyalty, I shall set out alone in Sayrune.

I shall wipe out all the humans, along with Dai

-Gunzan, and k*ll Nia along with them before sunset tomorrow.

Very well.

But bear in mind that you will not receive another chance.

Go.

- General Adiane.

- Ah, Viral.

I was under the impression that you were badly injured.

No, ma'am.

I will be returning to my home unit tomorrow.

My failure to protect General Thymilph is the greatest failure of my life.

That said, I would like to ask a favor of General Adiane Go on.

I'll hear you out.

During your next sortie I ask that you Allow me To Accompany You.

I had Thymilph in my debt, but with him dead, it was all for nothing!

And it's all because you're so worthless!

W

-Which is why I beg you to give me a chance to avenge him.

I've already decided that I will be going out myself tomorrow morning.

Go back to your den.

I will be the one who will avenge Thymilph.

Hey, shove all the unusable parts outside!

We can't do any work with 'em in the way!

Thank you for the meal.

- Thanks for the meal!


- Thanks for the meal!

Yum!

What's this stuff?

It looks great!

I can't cut mine Just a moment, I'll cut it for you.

So, anyway Um Princess?

Yes?

Would you like some, too?

Open wide!

Hey, that's good Old Coco is a really good cook

- Really?

- You serious?

What are you guys, stupid?
!

Why are you sitting around over a friendly dinner?
!

You don't have to roll out the red carpet for her like this!

We're here to do an interrogation, remember?
!

An interrogation!

How do you do?

My name is Nia.

And what is your name?

I'm Kittan!

I'm the eldest of the Black Siblings, and I'm the leader of Team Gurren!

Ah, Kittan, is it?

It's nice to meet you.

Just 'cause you're cute don't change the fact that you're the enemy!


- Yeah!

She enemy!


- Yeah, he's right!

She enemy!

Kittan?

What does "enemy" mean?

An enemy is a bad person!

Somebody you gotta b*at the crap out of!

b*at the crap out of?

And what does that mean?

Well, uh That's when you take your fist and belt the guy, and What does "fist" mean?

Well, a fist is Why would you do that?

Duh!

Because they piss me off!

What does "pissed off" mean?

- He came to interrogate HER

- But he's being interrogated instead.

Our bro isn't too good around her type.

Butt out!

Kittan, you are, um a not

-pissing

-off person who is very sweet.

Thank you!

Our talk has been very informative!

Well, sure!

I'm the leader, so its only natural.

Hey, Simon.

I've got an order for you as team leader.

I want you to get all the enemy intel you can out of Nia.

Why me?

Just do it.

You were the one who brought her here.

Man up and do something about it.

She's a formidable opponent.

Know that you're in for a tough fight.

I heard many things from Kittan.

He said that my father is doing terrible things to the people on the surface.

But I find it hard to imagine that Father would do such things without good reason.

And yet, I also do not believe that the people here are bad.

We didn't do anything wrong.

It's the Spiral King who's the bad guy here.

Him and his people.

Do you hate my father?

Of course.

Do you also hate me?

I don't know anything about you.

Why do you fight, then?

It was my Bro who gave me the strength to fight.

Because he was there to believe in me.

Simon.

Who is this Bro person?

Do you think Simon will be all right?

Don't you have other things to worry about?

If I don't finally get Dai

-Gurren here running again, a lot more than tears will be spilled here.

Yes, but in Simon's case, he We're all fighting here.

That goes for you, too, right?

Yes Besides, if the reason that Lagann isn't working is because it doesn't feel like helping a kid whose lost the will to survive, I think it has the right idea.

Oh, I see.

He was k*lled in a battle recently.

In that case, I suppose it's no wonder that everyone here hates me.

No one hates you, Nia.

I don't think that Kamina fought out of hatred.

It's hard to explain, but no matter how bad the situation, he was always laughing.

I guess he was A man whose stupidity knew no bounds.

I'd like to hear about him, too.

Keep talking.

This happened long before we met you, Yoko.

We tried to break out of our underground village ourselves.

But along the way, there was an earthquake, and we were trapped.

Hey, I know this Never mind.

Keep going.

I was terrified that I was going to be buried alive just like my mom and dad were.

But Kamina urged us on, yelling, "Onwards and upwards, men!

" Laughing all the while.

My hands stopped shaking.

When I'm focused on drilling, I can hear the soil and the rocks calling to me.

"It's softer this way," or "Try digging over here!



" I follow their advice as I dig.

But if we'd have given up that day, we all would have d*ed.

The reason we didn't was because of my Bro.

Because he didn't give up.

That's how he always was.

Without him, I can't do anything.

That's why I have to become like him, so I can do his share for him.

That's not true.

You rescued me all by yourself, remember?

That wasn't You can do just fine on your own.

Why are you obsessing so much over this "Bro" person?

Why?

Because You're just saying that because you didn't know him.

I can't get to know a dead person.

But you also can't rely on a dead person, Simon.

Nia!

You can't know how Simon is feeling!

You didn't even know Kamina!

I may not have known this Bro person, but I do understand Simon.

Simon is not a helpless person.

He mustn't keep dwelling over a dead man.

Don't talk like you're an innocent bystander in all this, lady!

You know perfectly well whose fault it is that Kamina d*ed!

So don't you dare stand there and calmly lecture him!

I apologize.

What you said is right.

No amount of grieving will bring Kamina back.

We know that.

Maybe it would be easier if we could forget about him.

But we can't just forget about him like he was nothing!

She had tears in her eyes It isn't your fault, Nia.

I want to learn more about you and your people.

-What the hell is that?
!

We've got trouble!

A wall of water is coming this way!

Water?

Maybe he's seeing things after being up all An enemy Gunmen is on our deck!

I've returned, just as I promised!

You stinking humans!

What the hell was It's that chick with the fins from yesterday!

First of all, would you be so kind as to let me see our dear princess?

I need to thank her for all the things she's done for me.

That bitch!

The nerve of coming with just one Gunmen!

I'm gonna deck her!

Wait a minute.

Dai

-Gurren still can't move.

We need to buy all the time we can.

Good point Okay, let's hand over Nia!

We can't do that!

Say what?
!

You got a problem with the decisions of your mighty leader?
!

I'm not sure why, but something tells me that would be a risky move.

Don't give me that half

-assed crap!

Come out and say it!

Quit yammering!

I will go.

Hear that?

She says she's okay with it.

Yeah, but Don't worry.

She might be able to avoid a fight.

Thank you, Yoko.

This doesn't mean that I trust you.

I'll have this r*fle trained on your back.

If I see any funny business, I won't hesitate, got it?

!

Yes.

I see that you are well, Princess Nia.

Tell me, Adiane.

Are you and the others making the humans here on the surface suffer?

It is as you say.

Our duty is to slaughter every last human we find on the surface.

Were you ordered to do this by my father?

Yes.

And you harbored no doubts about these orders?

Doubts?

Never.

Humans are as lowly as worms.

Their death and suffering is beneath our notice.

"Worms," huh?

I cannot believe this!

I will discuss this with my father!

Adiane, take me to my father at once!

You piss me off, you flake!

If you wanna go, take your own sorry ass there!

What did you say?

It hasn't sunk in yet?

You aren't a princess anymore!

The Spiral King has abandoned you!

Cut you off!

Thrown you out!

I don't know what you did, but he said to k*ll you along with the worms!

Abandoned me?

k*ll me?

Father said for you to k*ll me?

Abandoned her?

Lagann!

Work!

Please work!

I was right!

She didn't come here to bring Nia back!

This cannot be true!

Father would never do such a thing!

He wouldn't, huh?

Think whatever you want!

I'm sending you to the next world in a few seconds, missy!

Do you hate me, as well?

Hate you?

I couldn't care less about you.

I was told to k*ll you, so that's what I'm going to do!

Whether I hate you or not doesn't enter into it!

You would k*ll me simply because you were ordered to do so?

Of course I would!

Then if my father told you to die, would you do that, as well?
!

You are wrong!

These people have done nothing wrong!

Their only wish is to live on the surface in peace!

It cannot be right to k*ll them for no reason.

These people k*lled Thymilph.
They did?

That should be reason enough!

No.

No, you're wrong.

That isn't right.

They themselves have lost a man they call Bro.

This loss has left them sorely wounded.

Yes, that is what happens when someone dies.

People suffer, and they hurt inside.

And yet here you are, saying that two grieving parties should hurt each other!

Don't you think that there is something wrong with that?
NO, I DON'T!

Fine, have it your way!

You piece of crap!

Nia!

You really know how to piss people off!

Now I know why the Spiral King got rid of you!

Yes, now I see!

You are a pissing
-off person!

That's my line, missy!


- Nia!


- Simon!

Simon!

Nia!

He threw out his own daughter?
!

That's one thing I won't stand for!


- Won't stand for it!


- Smash!

DIE!

You guys take it from here!

Stinking scum!

Zorthy!

You bitch!

Come on, you third
-rate Gunmen!

Come at me all at once!

I'll tear you limb from limb!

Come on, isn't this thing working yet?
!

I'm trying, I'm trying!

How about now?
What?
!

Impossible It broke my spine!


- We got her!


- Yeah, got her!

Now!

Squash her!

We'd like to, but we can't exactly see where we're aiming!

No.
3 Bridge!


- You've got her, you've got her!


- That's the way!

Straight ahead!

Look out ahead!

What was that?

What happened?

Enkidu!

Is that you, Viral?

Forgive me for disobeying orders, ma'am.

But I have my own honor to uphold!

Not so fast.
I can't withdraw like this!

You can continue the fight as long as you are still alive, General Adiane!

It's time for a strategic retreat.
You!

We're retreating for now, but when next we meet, we'll settle matters once and for all!

What's he talking about?
They're gone!

They bugged out!

We did it!

We drove them off again!

Goodness gracious All this stress is m*rder on my skin.

Are you okay, Nia?
Yes, thank you.

But I must apologize.

You were put in danger because of me.

There's no need to thank us.

See?

Look at that.

Nia!

They're all happy to see you safe and sound.
Thank you Thank you!

You scum!

Trash!

Vermin!

What's the big idea, leaving without a victory?
!

I can't return to the capital without my revenge!

Who do you think I am, you worthless piece of trash?
!

Well met, my good pig

-mole.
Is Simon inside?

Simon?

Simon, are you there?

I brought you some dinner.

Simon, everyone says they are happy to see me safe.

Even though I am their enemy As I thought, the people here are all very nice.
But I know.

I know that you were the first one to run to my rescue, Simon.

Simon, thank you.

I can't do it I can never be like you, Bro To Be Continued Next Time Inside people's hearts, there is a deep, dark, frightening hole.

This eventually becomes a new tunnel.

Next time on Gurren Lagann, Simon, Move Your Hands "Simon, Move Your Hands".
