Yoko!?
*Runs to get the RAW*
I broke.

Awesome episode but since I only watched the RAW, it hard to comment on the story.
All I have to say now is...
Kittan is f'ing awesome.
Roussiu sure seem tired.
The preview was pretty nice. Yoko reminds me of Haruko for a sec.

Lon asking Rossiu out was so funny, I was crying with laughter.

Kittan sure did go GAR too, I'm so glad he's more important now.

Viral vs. Simon FTW. That entire scene owned. Gainax sure knows what to do to please all types of fans hahaha.

Yoko vs. Nia is going to rock~! Schoolteacher-Yoko is hot.

I had a fanboygasm when Yoko appeared at the end. That was just awesome. Everyone pretty much rocked this episode (except Rossiu of course). I can't believe there is only 6 episodes left. Looking forward to it.

Haha I was thinking the same thing about the chicken beastman.

Pretty good Episode, I'm a little less hateful towards Rossiou since he did give up Simon's drill without being a complete pain in the ass, but other than that, the guy is still a cockface :p

Don't hold me to this, but someone in another thread mentioned they will be going to 27. Fingers crossed, anyway heh.

Lol that animation is funny.

Time for the old gang to get back together +Viral, - Kamina.

I also heard there was 27 episodes somewhere too...maybe we get a massive summary episode at the end?

We already got the best summary ep ever. It's a normal 26 ep seris with an awsome recap halfway through.

Somehow i can't hate Rossiu as much as the last episodes. This time it seems like he understood(or at least started to understand) that there was something wrong with the way he was doing things. He even agreed to give back the core drill so that Kittan could give it back to Simon. I can't really classify him as a "vilain" anymore after seeing this episode honestly. Yeah, i still hate him for how he did things before, but it's nice to see him change.

Awesome ep, the ganmen returning was awesome, the fact they were made to destroy the anti-spirals was cool, the chicken was hilarious, and yay for Yoko coming back!

that would be nice, but don't you just *know* Nia is just going to run away yet again in a splurge of antispirals...however I hope it does end up with Yoko knocking Nia off somewhere down the line. Yoko kicks ass and looks great doing it.

I also liked the "Whut? Ganmen can destroys antispirals?" "Yes, that's what they're for." moment. Dumbass, doesn't he understand anything?

Yeah! Rossiu has to pay for his stupidity. Locking Simon up geez.. he saved your ass and that's how you repay him? >=[

Rossiu's an ass for sure, but its still good that the anime didnt make him one dimensional. The dude was practically falling apart in this episode. His main problem was that he went with a cautious defensive position to face the threat, but we all know that Kamina's offensive way is to the way to victory!

One of my favourite devices in the history of storytelling is when the good guy and bad guy team up together. Trust this awesome series to throw that into the mix too. Great cliffhanger too, I was wondering when Yoko was going to turn up.

True... On the previous episode my impression was like "Now I can say for sure I hate Rossiu", but at least the guy admits he was wrong.

Kittan is awesome... After Simon and Yoko, he seems to be the one who understood Kamina and his way the most. =p

All hatred of Rossiu is pretty much removed, he's just doing what he thinks is best for the people even though sometimes it disagrees with his personal feelings. Yoko is back, this will rule.

The Yoko fanboys can relax! This was a great episode, with Rossiu seemingly falling apart, the rebirth of the Gurren Brigade looking likely and the awesome force of Viral! The time-skip was the best thing that could have happened to this anime!

Man. As much as I want to hate Rossiu I just can't anymore. I understand where he's coming from, and though I'm still pissed he ordered Simon to be executed I just can't hate him anymore. I've found a new liking for Kittan in this episode, and hurray for Yoko :D She be back!

I love this episode so much. They got their Ganmen back :D Oh my god I want to watch the next episode..I..must watch.

I like how they referenced the moon as as roof. Remember episode 1? Break through the roof!

I really like how in the ending credits the last image is of Simon and he has a spiral galaxy shining in his eyes.

Amazing episode. Also good to see Rossiu changing - or rather, actually struggling to make the decisions he did. Makes the audience realise (I hope) that he's not a one-dimensional villain or something.

I do hope Viral and Simon team up. Good to see Yoko back. Yoko's right - Nia has become a "boring woman" since she left. XD

That's right, it's not like he's happy about making that decision...you can see it's breaking his heart - but saving SOME is better than saving absolutely no one. Discarding so many lives is unforgivable, but what else can he do? He's not Kamina. He's trying to think about pros and cons. He won't charge - he will stay back and save as much as he can. Acting like a jerk, true, but still with good intentions... I still have to wait for the situation to develop before I can judge him. Then again, I don't like judging, so maybe I won't do that at all xD

Kittan levelled up in badass :D Good to know that at least someone is saving the spirit and honour of the Dai-Gurren Brigade. If he dies, I'm losing faith in good endings x__X

Yoko is back, yay :D Kick the stupid ninjagirl's ass.

Viral/Simon fight was awesome x3 Andand, Viral's superpowers are yum :D

That was one hell of an entrance Yoko had. I also think that Roshiu turned into one of the more interesting and conflicting characters in the series.
