| wtf? and why yoko x kamina? and why did they kiss so fast? |
| WTF? I thought this anime was supposed to be a comedy genre... |
 |
| Wow, that was a brilliant episode. Kamina was by far my favorite character though, so we'll have to see how the show is without him. Poor Simon and Yoko. I thought he died, then thought he would stay alive, but nope. He was an awesome character, very driven, very funny, definitely someone Simon should look up to. I hope Simon ends up like him or inherits some of his lines, ie "Who the hell do you think I am?!?" At least he went out in true Kamina fashion with quite the bang. And seeing the sketch of him where he smiles right before he died hurt a bit. RIP, Kamina. |
| Gainax is so good with the puberty/psychological shit that they always include. |
| I knew that kiss was a death flag! Also when Kamina said that he'd repay Yoko ten times too. It was kinda obvious but I still didn't expect it. Time slowed down for me. I cannot believe that Kamina died. At only episode 8! That's early! Fuck! I really liked Kamina!The show goes up to episode 27! Can't wait to see how far it goes. Also it looks like a new character shows up. I wonder what Yoko is thinking now. HOw is the show going to continue with Kamina?! I think Kamina is going to become a martyr. "Later, buddy..." Amazing episode. |
| good episode, definitely, although I can't say I actually felt sad at his death itself. he was annoying me most of the time and he was just stopping simon from growing, always being there to cheer him up/make him act or whatever, and with him around simon would never grow to be the amazing character he is later on. and wether you guys like it or not i kinda felt glad he was no longer there. i did kinda feel sad but it was more for yoko, simon and the rest of people who mourned him |
 |
| No way he's not coming back. Right? |
| KAMINAAAAAA NOOOOO WTF |

| NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! KAMINAAAAA!!!! They killed off the best character in the show. Such bullshit! This show better not turn into some shitty harem like someone else mentioned. I was enjoying the hell out of this anime until they pulled that crap. Simon better become one hell of a character for me to like him as much as I did Kamina. The preview for the next episode looks like it's going to suck. I hope it turns out to be a good series, but I'm just not sure yet, but I'll definitely keep watching! |

| Shit... đź’” i will never forget.. |

| o why ... why kamina did this to us bro :'( |
| lol finally they kissed.poor Simon. what he is dead.why killing him.RIP kamina |
 |
| I don't get it... How could you kill your main character? This episode has to be the worst int he series. At first, I think this episode will be great, since Yoko and Kamina become a couple. But then, they had to FUCK IT UP and make him die. And don't tell me it was so Simon could develop more. The series would have been the same even if Kamina survived. I'm going on to episode 9. I pray that Simon grows a pair. |
| Kamina died. Hopefully, the series doesn't die with him. |

What the hell? Don't ever say such things ever again! |
 |
| Honestly I don't see what exactly Kamina and Simon find romantically appealing in Yoko besides her big boobs. I haven't seen any significant character traits from her at all really. So when Aniki first died I was like: "oh shoot I was not expecting this! :(" but I was a little surprised when he got up after that and actually had the strength to combine and defeat the enemy. I feel kinda weird about the fact that there was a brutal murder scene, yet they decided to actually kill him once they beat the enemy. |

| Holy crap, what a great episode.. Kamina was my favorite character so far, so I'll definitely miss him. |
| A shitty death but thank god one "bro down". Omg deep symbolism rain on mecha #tears #subliminal 2/5 |

Remus_Lupa said: Beatnik said: I don't. TTGL without Kamina just isn't the same. The only reason to keep watching it are the few badass moments Simon has and Kitan & Viral.I feel sorry for people who drop this show before reaching this episode. I regret not keeping itdropped |
| End Zionazism |
| So what was Simon doing when Kamina was getting slashed into pieces? Don't get me wrong, I liked this episode, but there was a big time gap after Kamina gave Simon his second to last pep talk. Other than that, I thought it was pretty well done in their "over the top" ways. I can feel the pain of losing a sibling. |
 |
| This episode was awesome, the best one yet !! :D The ending tho ;_; I wasn't so happy about Yoyo x Kamina but Kamina's death is so sad, I wonder how will Simon evolve in the next episodes, it will be interesting for sure :) |
 |
| My reaction: Kamina? KAMINA??? NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| So wait.. is he dead for good now? Because if he is I don't really get all of his hype, he's been here for 8 episodes so far O_O Hated that kiss, don't like that pairing. I'm not glad he's dead, I think the show will be missing something now. But he was also not as great as people make him to be imo. |
| Maaan it was meant to happen, but I'm surprised it happened so soon. From now on it's all about Simon becoming a badass like Kamina. Can't wait |
| Oh, they did it! Yay, finally an anime that doesn't fear romantic development! That kiss was so satisfying. Wait. It isn't happening, right? ... It is happening. I can't believe they did that in the 8th episode. C'mon. Where will I get my Kamina antics now? Is this show going to be just depression and sadness from now on? Eh. Awesome episode. |
| I didn't like Kamina tbh, hope to see more of Simon's development |
| 8 years and it stil friggin hurts. *sigh* |
 |
| What an amazing episode. For a character to only appear eight episodes and have such an impact truly goes to show how awesome Kamina is. Like many have said here, I wonder how the story will go without him, as he was the guy that drove these events. Though i really hit me in the gut when he died, I have to say kudos for letting him go out in the most badass way possible. RIP Kamina. T_T |

| Dat Yoko NTR. Poor Simon. I didn't expect Kamina to die... so soon. |
 |
| I saw it coming but not so early, RIP Kamina, amazing character. Excellent Episode. |
| This is my reaction in the end of this episode... Good lord, I think Kamina is one of the worst male character I've seen. Such a loudy arrogant jerk.... Thanks for everything, Lord Thymilph! Your will be not forgotten! *salute* |
| It is sad to read all of the old comments and see all of the theories that he will come back... :( |
 |
| Not buying it, not buying his death for one minute. |

I fell DEEEEEEEP. Same, I watched it because I liked the animation style and how unique it was but after this episode I started to like the show, he was a great character. |
|
| 9 damn years and it's still hurts a lot watching him gone. I remember some groups especially wrote something at the start of the episode, something like "we love you Kamina <3" |
 |
| This episode was the best so far, the MCs got some more character development, the fight was amazing and the ending was straight up great. 10/10 |

| This was by far my favorite episode of Gurren Lagann so far. RIP Kamina :( you were my favorite character of the show, a big inspiration, and a true bro. You will most certainly be missed :( definitely looking forward to future episodes of Gurren Lagann. |
 |
| Doing a rewatch of TTGL. Still a unique memorable episode on so many levels. This is one of the 3 greatest anime deaths IMO. |
