In a raging battle in space, Nia comes to stand in the way between Simon and the source of victory against the first wave of enemies.Įven though Nia’s new persona continues to insist that she and Simon are “completely incompatible”, he goes on to ask why she is still wearing the ring he gave her. Simon is visibly upset by this change in her and her actions, but he is determined to save her no matter what. She teleports away from Earth and only appears to Simon in times of “despair”. Unfortunately, soon after this Nia is awakened as a messenger of beings that reside in the heart of the universe, called the Anti-Spiral, and this awakening changes her entire persona. If your heart doesn’t melt at this pic, then I can do nothing for you. Simon has always been pretty shy about admitting his affections for Nia around others or to her (see: picture below), so for him to propose definitely says something about how much he has come to love her throughout the course of Gurren Lagann. Simon and Nia have been a couple for a long time now, so close in fact that he has finally gotten the courage to propose to her. Their bond is strengthened and put to the ultimate test in the following seven years. Simon pretty much kills anything in front of him from this point on. In turn, Nia’s unwavering faith in him during her times of need is indicative of her own feelings towards him. And even when he still upset about Kamina’s death, Simon is still able to bring himself to rescue Nia several times, again emphasizing his immediate attachment to her and their natural bond. When no one else could possibly help him, she was there for him, and this support continues on for the entirety of the show. In the episodes that follow, she is the sole force that brings Simon out of his depression and gives him comfort and the strength to not be like “Bro”, but himself.
Pretty comfy, once you get past the whole “garbage” part.Ī pretty odd first meeting, but in these first interactions, it’s pretty obvious that Nia is the better match for Simon. While Simon was wandering out alone, he stumbles across Nia. So, as to be expected, Simon is taking Kamina’s death very hard, fighting alone while being overwhelmed with depression and the futile desire to be like “Bro”. Because of this heartbreak, it prevents him from fully concentrating on the battle at hand, and Kamina puts himself in a dangerous situation to try and get him to concentrate.
Prior to this important battle, Simon had his heart broken by Yoko, the girl they had been travelling with who often looked out for him. Nia’s character is introduced at a pretty rough part of the show Simon’s best friend, the larger-than-life Kamina, has tragically died in battle, and it’s sort of Simon’s fault. It’s genuine, sweet, and their dialogue together makes you want to die from cuteness over-exposure.
It’s one of the most adorable relationships I have ever seen in anything. One of my favorite parts of Gurren Lagann is the love story of Simon and Nia. And now, to introduce Gamer Girl Rants with a segment that has nothing to do with videogames: Love in the time of space drills Learning that humans on the surface are regularly attacked by Lordgenome’s Gunmen, Kamina hijacks a Gunman and calls it Lagann combining it with Gurren to create the Gurren Lagann mecha which then inspires others to join Team Gurren which is then expanded as Team Dai-Gurren and sets out to take down Lordgenome for good.Shaun: This week features a guest post by my sister, Michaela, in a segment we decided to call “Gamer Girl Rants” because we thought about it for five seconds and couldn’t think of anything better. The Gunman is followed by a mysterious girl, Yoko, who attacks it before Simon activates the smaller Gunman, nicknamed Lagann, to take the invading mecha down. Shortly after Simon unearths the Core Drill and small face-shaped “Gunman” mecha, a huge Gunman crashes through from above and begins attacking the villagers. One day meek digger Simon meets delinquent Kamina who asks him to join his gang, Team Gurren, which is working towards finally reaching the surface. Mankind now lives underground with some villagers conscripted as “diggers” to expand their territory downwards.
