Kittan going off on his own for Team Gurren, yes! I wonder if Kiyal is going with him since they used to combine before.

I never paid much attention to Leyte before this part of the series but I really enjoy her even though she's just a side character.

YAAAS BITCH YAS YOKO IS BACK. Can't wait to see her kicking ass along with Kittan, Simon, and Viral.

It was nice to see a different side of Rossiu. He's still a bit of a butt, though. Lordgenome's frank remarks concerning the Gunmen made Rossiu sound pretty stupid for scrapping all of them. (He even wanted to scrap Gurren Lagann. What the crap, man?)

Yoko's return was predictable, but I'm glad to see her again anyway.

Nice episode.

Kittan continues to be cool and I actually sympathized with Rossiu a bit this episode. Can't wait to see where it goes from here.

I might be getting a bit too old for these shows as I think that the story is not that good. Still, gonna watch it till the end, even if it's solely for the action.

Damn, Rossiu abandoned a whole lot of people. Fuck yeah! Yoko makes an appearance! Holy shit is the situation gettig dire. Don't know why Rossiu wants to keep the spiral. He doesn't need it. Give it back to Simon you bastard. Kittan was really cool this episode. That's the way Team Gurren rolls! Great episode!

i guess Viral and Simon didn't work together to break out of prison like i thought.

stakes got higher when they realized the moon crashing into earth would not leave it habitable.

almost forgot Yoko existed. wonder if they'll tell us what shes been up to.

YOKO IS FUCKING BACK. YAS.

Now, Simon. Open your eyes. Go get her tiger ;')

In my honest opinion, episode 17-20 has been shit. Hell. Absolutely non-acceptable.
Until the end of ep. 20. Yoko returns. And a hope of the series to become good again.
So excited! ='D

Roshiu is a great character, he may be my favorite in this series.
Took her a bit to come back but she finally did, next chapter will show some backstory it seems.

I had forgotten that Kittan was actually a useful character.

I think that people that don't understand the hate for Rossiu are focusing too much on the why and not the how. Yes, his actions are justifiable and he's trying to look at the big picture. He's certainly more qualified to be a government leader than Simon. But his treatment of Simon was cowardly. He should have had the stones to say to the people that they were acting like a pitiful mob and forgetting that their entire safe and happy lives were obtained only by Simon risking his life again and again and again. Without him they be digging holes in caves

. While removing Simon from power was the right choice, sentencing him to death in a farcical trial was all kinds of wrong. The kind of thing the Gestapo or the Inquisition would have cooked up. He should have been permitted to stay in house arrest or the like in the view of his unequivocally distinguished service. But Rossiu chose the easy way out of appeasing the mob.

Kittan got his fair share of highlights this episode, actually a pretty cool character.
And finally Yoko's back, apart from the start she's barely been around, kind of a shame for a main character honestly.

I'm not really sure what to think of Rossiu anymore.

I really liked Kittan in this episode, he's gonna go all out with his buddies.

Yoko at the end there, pretty badass entrance and return to the anime.

The fight with the cock was awesome xD

Rossiu seemed pretty overwhelmed by the responsibility a leader has to hold.

Liked it that the episode focussed more on Kittan, was quite worried about him when he stayed back to protect his sisters and niece.

And yeah finally, Yoko is back !

In the past episode, Rossiu was the embodiment of the absolute belief that the means are inferior to the end no matter what but being faced with the harsh revelation of only being able to save 1/10 of the population made him do things he absolutely shown guilt of doing but was seen as necessary which made me sympathize with him more despite all the dick moves he'd been doing.

Trying to scrap the Gunmen could've been the end of them. Good thing Leyte maintained them instead so they'll have a fighting chance.

Kittan was just heroic in this~ That shotgun last stand made him more likable.

Nia was all about the ZETSUBOUSHITA!!!
Yoko's last-second entrance was very surprising~ I'm glad to have her back.

Rossiu effectively represents the antithesis of what Team Gurren was all about; overcoming the impossible and defying all reason. He's become calculated, rational, and reserved in his decision making. I just love how Kittan is finally like "This new government crap ain't working for us, I'm out." Prior to the timeskip, Kittan felt more like a sidekick. But damn, he's such a bro now. Yoko's return was also awesome, completely forgot about that part and jumped back a bit when she shot at Nia.

This whole episode was a big Biblical reference.

Rossiu is even more disgusting than before. Oh look I'm the leader I have the authority to decide who dies and who doesn't (of course I won't die because I'm the leader). Viral is even more likeable than him.
I hope at least Yoko didn't get spoiled.

So, not only is it confirmed Rossiu was doing stuff for the right reasons but he doesn't even like being leader that much. After all, he is not enjoying doing the stuff he does but only does it because he thinks there is no other way.

Too bad for Rossiu that, as someone else put it, in Gurren Lagann's universe you get puniched for being reasonable and using logic :V

Also, considering they were only preocuppied with the evacuation, he may not have intended to execute Simon at all, but just handed that sentence to tranquilize the populace.

In theory, they could have loaded more people into the Ark if they waited more to activate it, since the anti-spirals attacked due to the powerup. So, in a way, it's all clown guy's fault (?)

Contrary to some people, I think at this episode in particular Rossiu would be my favorite character. It was Kamina before, as both were "Normal humans" trying to do what's right for humanity, even with very different attitudes. The thing is, Kamina seemed to always anjoy it, while Rossiu does it even if he does *not* enjoy it.

Now back to "team gurenn fight the powa".

At last someone insults "little miss perfect" Nia, first time. And it was who should have been, too ;)


And... wait... if they revived Spiral King's head, coudn't they revive Kamina too? Hmhmmmm... There is hope after all (?)

Well I’m glad to see Yoko is back. As for Kitan, he did always represent a small kamina 2.0 with the hair and copying his loudness. Can’t wait to see how the remaining of episodes will go.
