[ Episode 23: Let's Go! This is the Final Battle!]

EPIC SNOT PUNCH OF DOOM

This was such a feel-good episode. So it’s finally shown that while Rossiu was acting like a jackass in the previous arc he was crying his eyes out while doing so. Eh, I suppose that’s enough for forgiveness since he wasn’t being coldhearted. I have to applaud his character thus far and especially the writers who made him seem like a bad person but then turned his character around in this episode and a bit in the previous one. I wasn’t really surprised at the suicide attempt by him nor at Simon’s epic punch to stop him from going through with it. Can’t say I saw the spiral warp thing coming though. Well, that’s fighting spirit and spiral power for you.

The last few minutes of the episode were just awesome. The Dai Gurren-Dan flag returns and everyone is now aboard the newly named Hyper Galaxy Dai Gurren. Everyone gets a make-over with new outfits, the best ones in my opinion being Simon’s (GAR and radiating with confidence) and Yoko’s (insanely sexy). I’m glad to see that almost all of the original Gurren-Dan is in place (except for Rossiu, Kinon, Kiyoh, and Kiyal) and that they’re all hyped and prepared for the final battle. I look forward to seeing the last four episodes more than ever.

Next episode is going to be intense with lots of fighting and cool explosions. Though I have to say those enemy ships look very UGLY. Literally.
