Gurren Lagann takes place in a
fictional future where Earth is ruled by the Spiral King, Lordgenome, who
forces mankind to live in isolated subterranean villages. These villages have
no contact with the surface world or other villages, and are under constant
threat of earthquakes. Selected villagers called diggers are conscripted to
expand their homes deeper underground. Simon, a meek young digger ostracized by
his peers, finds solace in his best friend and older brother figure, an
eccentric delinquent named Kamina. Kamina allows Simon to join his gang, Team
Gurren, to help him achieve his dream of visiting the surface world. One day,
Simon unearths a drill-shaped key called a Core Drill, followed by a small
mecha resembling a face called a Gunmen.[9][10] Shortly thereafter, a
giant Gunmen crashes through the ceiling and begins attacking the village,
followed by a girl named Yoko who attempts to repel the Gunmen. Simon uses his
Core Drill to activate the smaller Gunmen (which Kamina names Lagann), and it
is used to destroy the larger Gunmen and break through to the surface world.
Simon and Kamina learn from Yoko that humans on the surface are
attacked each day by Gunmen piloted by beastmen, humanoid creatures who serve
as Lordgenome's army. Kamina hijacks a Gunmen and names it Gurren, combining it
with Simon's Lagann to form the mecha Gurren Lagann. Their actions inspire
other humans to steal their own Gunmen and join Team Gurren, which Kamina
renames Team Dai-Gurren. Eventually Team Dai-Gurren captures an enemy Gunmen
fortress to use as their base of operations, though Kamina is killed in the
preceding battle. Simon sinks into depression following Kamina's death when he
meets Nia, Lordgenome's daughter. Team Dai-Gurren is initially distrustful of
her, but allows her to join when it becomes apparent that she was abandoned by
her father. Nia helps Simon come to terms with Kamina's death, and he takes up
the role as Team Dai-Gurren's leader, leading them to defeat Lordgenome and the
Beastman army.
Over the next seven years, mankind prospers on the surface world
with Simon and the members of Team Dai-Gurren serving as the world's
government. As soon as the world's population reaches one million people, an
alien race called the Anti-Spirals emerges and uses Nia to announce the moon's
collision with Earth, which will wipe out all life on the planet and prevent
them from evolving to such an extent that they will risk destroying the
universe in a cataclysmic event called the Spiral Nemesis. With guidance from a
resurrected Lordgenome, who had hidden mankind underground to protect them from
the Anti-Spirals, Team Dai-Gurren prevents the moon's collision, rescues Nia,
and destroys the Anti-Spirals. This, however, causes Nia to fade away and die
as her own existence is tied to that of the Anti-Spirals. Simon spends the rest
of his life wandering the planet as a nameless vagrant while his comrades set
out to contact other races throughout the galaxy to help prevent the Spiral
Nemesis and ensure the safety of the universe.
