Simon gets sentenced to death and Gurren Lagann is scrapped. Another great episode. Rossiu continues to be a meanie. The ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH! remix at the end was amazing. It also looks like Rossiu and Kinon have some sort of relationship growing.

The only real downside is that when they showed Littner I expected Yoko to show up.

A midst all the small talk about how interesting and how logical Rossiu's actions are...
Seriously, Fuck him.
I began watching this show from since this morning and believe me, I'm pissed.
I don't care how great a character he professes and shows to be, within all this B.S, he's a dick.

I hope someone kills him,

I still like Rossiu sure what he is doing to Simon is a douche move, but he is doing this for the sake of humanity. Wonder if Kinon will marry him in the end? xD

Look at whose Simon's prison buddy is. xD

Whether it's the Reign of Terror, the Spanish Inquisition, or the dropping of the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, most of the great crimes against humanity have been justified by arguing that it would bring about the greater good for the greater number in the long run and Robspierre, Torquemada, and Truman undoubtedly believed it. Rossiu's plan for the future is to replicate the village of his youth with a culling number of 1,000,000 instead of 50. Sincerity of belief is not a justification for monstrous acts, at the most it only puts you slightly ahead of the hypocrites or opportunists who don't believe in what they are doing, but who do it anyway because it allows them to stay in power or reap the rewards.
Please don't feed the trolls!

I hope Rossiu won't have the same fate as some traitors from other anime ( traitor doesn't get punished for betrayal )
Kinon is acting like those women from NTR, I mean she gives up on everything to be with that Rossiu , *cough*slave*cough*
I'm looking forward to see Viral and Simon teaming up in the next episode.

I hate how in the first arc the good guys won because they were manly and awesome, and now its just because they have space magic.

What happened to the awesome comedy, the gainax animation, and the crazy situations?

This just feels like another fucking generic Sci Fi mecha now just with more explosions.

Man, it's depressing to see how everyone on Rossiu's side, who used to be such enjoyable and beaming characters, have now all changed for the worst. Also the masses of citizens are so ungrateful and have shown how quickly the public can shift to serve their own self interests in acts of desperation. Still, I do not hate Rossiu, as I'm sure he's just doing what he thinks is the best course of action. However, I think his lack of faith in Simon and the death penalty have gone too far, and he's now just become a cold and calculating aristocrat.

Simon is getting put in a cell with Viral huh? I hope Viral becomes his new partner in the Gurren Lagann.

Okay wow. The past two episodes bought me from contemplating dropping this series, to actually really wanting to see the next episode. Everything about it just got loads better; the conflict is much more interesting now, there's solid drama to go along with the action, the characters all feel far more serious and dynamic, even the art seems to have jumped up in quality.

It took it 17 episodes, but it seems Gurren Lagann finally put its big boy pants on...though I wish Simon would stop saying "bro". I get the reasoning behind it and all that, but I still find it annoying and cheesey as hell. Just grow up and call him your brother damnit.

Wow...I fucking hate Rossiu now, he acts all high ad mighty and is taking credit for everything when he hasn't really done shit. How dare he condemn Simon like this, last time I checked, he was in the fucking cockpit of Gurran the whole time while Simon was fighting the Spiral King. Hell, if it wasn't for that and Simon defeating the Spiral King, he wouldn't even have the authority he has now. Actually if it wasn't for Kamina and Simon, he'd still be a fucking hole underground worshiping some stupid face god!!!

I really hope Simon can dig his way out of this one, or either Yoko finally makes her appearance and busts him out of there. That'd be awesome

I hope Simon can break out of prison...

Wow damn, I definitely take back what I said about last episode, Rossiu has become a complete and utter prick. Just like his father. He may be a clever bastard, but his heart is now rotten to the core. I don't think he gives two shits what happens to anyone. Even if the end results are "justified", I don't think the ends always truly justify the means. Betraying his former friends so easily... and also willing to sacrifice Kinon like it's nothing. Maybe he knew Simon would have to obey his morals and not run away, but that's still a horrible thing to do. If humanity is so willing to blame their savior like that, then they're not even close to worth sacrificing your friends for, let alone saving.

I'm glad he got put in with Viral, I can definitely see them working together now. Can't wait to see them destroy Rossiu. He can pretend all he wants that it's for the good of humanity, but just like his father now he's just a power-hungry and blinded by what he can gain from this... even if he doesn't realize it.

and this ep basically cements the fact that everybody hates Rossiu. If you for some reason were still holding out, you know hate his guts like everyone else.
Ha, pretty much. I wanted to think there was still some good in him, but nothing pisses me off more than people discarding their humanity to do the "logical" thing. I don't know that he can redeem himself at this point, but I think he'll probably see the error of his ways in the end, possibly on his death-bed.

Nah, Rossiu's actions don't even make sense. There's no point in putting people underground if the moon is going to collide, and sentencing Simon to death for something out of his control definitely was biased. I dunno what happened in those seven years but I can't wait to see him fall to his knees - and Kinon too tbh.

Him saying Kamina's death was a good thing..............I wanted to stab in him the throat.

I'm liking Kittan more and more. He literally reacts to everything the same way and the same time as I do haha. Hopefully he manages to find a way to stop this BS.

Did Rossiu forget that he helped Simon kill the Helix King? He was piloting Gurren at the time.

Such a hypocrite.

Still, I'm not sure if he or the people of Kamina City irk me more. It's true enough that pure democracies don't work in large settings. Playing up to the people in such settings is how tyrants come into power, and Rossiu seems to be becoming just that. Seeing a real-world political reality occur in a fictional environment is a bit stressful for me, to be honest.

Bleh. It was a good episode, albeit a frustrating one.

I really do like the shift in tone this series has.

I got really mad when they tore down that statue of Kamina. These people are so ungrateful! I hope Rossio isn't really planning to kill Simon but make the people think that they actually killed him. If not then it obvious that he wants to be Commander. That trial wasn't fair as Kittan said. He's becoming a tre ass! Or he's wants to become the villian for the greater good. It's obvious that Kinon devolped some feelings for Rossio. She blushed! I hope Simon comes back and proves everyone wrong.

Great episode! Viral is back! Hoe Yoko makes an appearance soon. I want Simon and Viral to team up!

I HATE ROSSIU SO MUCH! URGH! I my burning dislike grows with every episode. His snobbery. His stupid girlfriend pisses me off too. She's just as bad. I hope they both die. Though I'm kinda happy he's in prison since Viral is there. Those two would make an awesome team. Man, Rossiu is so selfish. Does he completely forget everything Simon has done for him? For the people? If they're getting attacked that's not Simon's fault! Besides, they would never have won that last battle as smoothly without Simon. Gosh the passionate hatred I feel for the people in this show right now is unbelievable.

I actually think Rossiu is great. maybe not as a person (even then he isn't straight up evil but is more manipulative with an "the ends justifies the means" kinda attitude for some of the shit hes pulling) but as a character he's great.

when in trouble, just pull a new drill power up out of your ass that didn't exist until it was convenient.

Nia is still wearing the ring and keeps appearing to Simon at times it seems would serve no purpose to the antispiral. is the Nia from before still in there somewhere? (probably.)

pretty sure Viral and Simon are going to team up for a good ol' fashioned prisonbreak

Man, for all his jackassery, Rossiu sure knows how to manipulate the masses, and sadly, I could totally see people acting that way. But I think what bothers me most about all this is that everything that happened before the time skip, Rossiu's connections with Simon and the others, appear to mean absolutely squat to him. I mean, he was always an uptight dude, but now you could probably keep an ice burg frozen with his attitude. I do like the drama he's bringing to the plot, though. It makes sense that his character turned out like this.

So far, I'm really enjoying this time skip. My guess is as good as anyone's as to how this is all going to turn out.

Simon's trial was about as fair and lawful as the Nuremburg war crime trials after the Second World War. Just as there the prosecutors had no legal right to accuse the prosecuted of the crimes which were legal long whilst they committed the said crime, only made illegal AFTER all said crimes stopped being committed, while simultaneously the prosecutors themselves committed the same crimes in similar circumstances.

Also similarly to Nuremburg, Simon's trial outcome was predetermined before the trial and the defendant was not granted an opportunity to defend himself in said court. Or was, but the defence was woefully inadequate only granting the spectators the illusion that the accused could defend onself.

Such double standards, such unlawfulness, such hypocrisy, such a parallel to Nuremburg.... This trial reminded me so heavily of Nuremburg (esspecially Hermann Goering's and Rudolf Hess trials) that I can only think it was an intentional parallel.

Great writing.
