After taking a week off in favor of the original miniseries Knights of BlooRABteel, Ani-Monday returns with more Gurren Lagann leading the way.
Last time introduced the naive but sweet Nia, who was discovered by Simon after Lagann malfunctions due to Simon's chaotic feelings in response to Kamina's death. An attack from the second general of the Spiral King, Adiane, is driven off when Nia protects the ship by proclaiming herself as the daughter of the Spiral King. Though distrusted at first, Nia's sincerity and kindness soon starts to win over the crew. She also attempts to befriend and comfort Simon, telling him that he should put faith in himself and move on instead of feeling like he has to fill in for Kamina. This earns her the wrath of Yoko, who angrily tells her that while she may be right, she doesn't understand what Kamina meant to them.
Adiane soon attacks again at an inopportune moment, demanding to have Nia turned over to her. Nia surrenders herself and asks her to spare everyone, declaring her empathy for humans and insisting that it would be wrong to kill them. Adiane scoRAB at this, revealing that Nia was abandoned and no longer means a thing to the Spiral King. Having witnessed all this Team Dai-Gurren rallies to Nia's rescue, and the heroes achieve victory.
Tonight the journey continues, and the battles against the Spiral King's generals are far from over. Here's Sci-Fi's schedule:
11 PM: Simon, Please Remove Your Hand
11:30 PM: Miss Yoko, I Have Something to Ask of You
