From tiny Lagann to beyond the universe-size Super Tegen Toppa Gurren Lagann, each form represents a leap in evolution through Spiral Power
Lagann is a small Gunmen first discovered by Simon underground, being his first Gunmen. It's powered by his Spiral energy and becomes the core Gunmen unit that drills into and comvines with other Gunmen.
"Your drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens!"
- Kamina
When Lagann combines with Kamina's Gunmen, Gurren, they form Gurren Lagann. This iconic red and black mecha is polited by Simon and Kamina, until Simon bares the mantle by himself.
Arc‑Gurren Lagann is formed when Gurren Lagann combines with the massive battleship Arc‑Gurren. This marks a jump into space‑level battles and large‑scale engagements.
Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann is formed when Arc‑Gurren Lagann combines with massive energy from the destruction of the Spiral Death Machine. This marks a turning point in the galaxy level battles and large‑scale engagements against the Anti‑Spirals.
"Unmatched in Heaven and Earth, one machine equal to the gods!"
- Simon
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is an enormous, universe‑sized manifestation of Spiral energy, formed in the final battle against the Anti‑Spiral. It using entire universes and galaxies as weapons.
""Mark my words! This drill will open a hole in the universe! And that hole will be a path for those behind us! The dreams of those who've fallen! The hopes of those who'll follow! Those two sets of dreams weave together into a double helix! Drilling a path towards tomorrow! And that's Tengen Toppa! That's Gurren Lagann!! My drill is the drill... that creates the heavens!!!""
- Simon
Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is the ultimate evolution of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, achieved through unlimited Spiral energy as a result of all the Team Dai-Gurren members combining Gunmen with the collective Spiral Energy of all life in the universe. It represents the pinnacle of Spiral power and determination.
"No, that's YOUR limitation! You sit here, closed-off, locking away other lifeforms like some kind of king! That's nobody's limitation but your own!!! (...) Super Tengen Toppa... Giga... Drill... Break!"
