Yoko x Kamina DID originate from no where.
It'll be annoying if it continues...but I'll deal with it.
Great episode, I love this Virus character...will he show up later?
Lol...Kamina's sword seemed to keep GROWING xD

Says you.
Sorry Kamina/Yoko haters, this pairing stays for good...
I mean, I don't get what's so WRONG about it? Just put your self in Yoko's person. Who would you rather have your eye on? Kamina did some crazy awsome and epic stuff the episode before, then he revealed his tender side by openly mourning over his father (plus he's super handsome). OF COOURSE it would cought a girls eye, it's only natural that he impressed her. Yoko is also four years older than Simon and she treats him more like her 'cute little brother'. Yeah, Simon needs attention and he get's it, just not like 'that'. Putting her together with the 'little guy' out of pity isn't really a good idea, imo.
Anyway, this was the episode that fully convinced me that Gurren Lagann will be amazing (not that I had doubts). SO MUCH awsome kinetic energy in all the visual solutions, so much POWER. Clever animation, beautiful visuals, rich colors, expressive characters... amazing. And I love how the show focuses on Kamina right now, it really has a purpose... how he's presented as an awsome and eccentric individual who is somehow able to make the whole resistence machinery go. And the way it's done with tongue in check. And I love the overall feel and emotion this show is giving.

Simon reminds me of other wimpy characters so maybe he'll get better as the series goes on. But currently, he sucks.

Oh wait, the 'combine' thing. Holy shit, that was epic WIN.

I dunno what to think of this show yet. I read that it should appeal to all types of viewers, not just mecha fans...but it seems kind of run-of-the-mill. Maybe I'll grow to like it, the characters and script are pretty good. And Simon's obviously being set up to have a big turnaround, it'll be good to see him gain his inner bravery and all that.

That episode was pretty funny!

Kamina is too cool for words, and it looks like Simon is going to find his mojo in the battles ahead.

Thumbs up from me!

KAMINA! His sword makes Sephiroth's look like a toothpick.

Also, seeing Kamina wearing his Oya-ji's cape is GAR on so many levels.

i can't believe the pairings are the biggest issue for this episode discussion... while the combination was unbelievably funny! i haven't laughed that hard in a LONG time.

Kamina's excessive behavior never ceases to amaze me ^^

And now it begins.

I'm also not to fond of the pairing at the moment but like some have mentioned already, this isn't a romance anime.

The combination was hilarious. I can't believe it actually worked lol. Now the plot is just getting started from here.

I feel Simon is gonna grow into an even more awesome character later on. It usually happens with protagonists who have a tendency to back out of situations when it gets too tough for them to handle.

Wasn't too keen about this anime, thought artwork was meh from pictures but it really wasn't...and by this episode im totally LOVING Yoko...she seems so sincere, even when i never saw something you said as bitchy and she was just wanting to help...she came back and apologized...it really shows how nice she is, but also kawaii like <3 COMBINED.... <3 xD she lovable of a character, i hope she has more development :P (Tell me) XD

This show is so epic manly! I think it's putting hairs on my chest even as a girl.

It's obvious the writer doesn't think very highly of women, though. Yoko is as shallow as eyecandy, and spontaneously falling for Kamina doesn't help.

Kamina is so nonsensically manly and insanely quotable.

Personally, I think Simon is adorable...The bright-eyed little brother who is willing to do anything his older bro but doesn't necessarily understand his decisions/actions all the time. I bet he'll get awesome strong like his bro later on only with a little more common sense. He's just so young at the moment.

I don't really care about Yoko x Kamina. XD' I know I should, but I'm not watching this for the romance at all. I don't mind it as long as it doesn't mess up the "brigade" members' relationships with each other (i.e. Simon and Yoko) so I was happy to see that she accepted Simon in the end.

I'm not really liking the mechas for some reason. o_o''

This show has the terrible writing of fairy tail and the extreme redundancy of generic dialogue of the short-lived manga "sensui no bulge".
