I forgot if you analyzed the writeup I made long ago, here it is


what could I add perhaps?


When I wrote that post I actually forgot I made the writeup. I explain why I think every galaxy in the anti spiral realm is actually a full on quantum universe. In brane cosmology a big bang occurs when two 10-D branes collide... Sounds familiar?
I think maybe in the past you shared it? It mostly seems alright (a lot of the sources are my own), though I do have some issues; I don't think the Anti-Spiral dimension fully transcends the Multiverse, rather it exists on the highest level.

You're basically saying that the galaxies in the Anti-Spiral dimension would be bigger than universes anyway due to brane cosmology? That does make sense.

There's also some stuff from Otoko (particularly Part 4), but that gets pretty weird and meta (and unfortunately, it's not been fully translated into English, so there may be some missing context).

Okay thanks

I still need a quote about the normal universe being infinite, if there is one. Would be helpful for SGGL and TTGL

Also got that thing about the labyrinth being a fractal?

I know Leeron refers to the Universe as infinite, and there's another instance in Work Soul I'll look into retranslating.

The fractal part is from Work Soul, though I'll have to check to see the page number.

Anti-Spiral home world
Anti-Spiral stands in front of Nia. Anti-Spiral intelligence is sad, irregular one Nia. The spirals who came to help you are all trapped in the multiverse. It is confined in the chain of the universe that is born at the moment of recognition.
The universe where the Simons are present branch one after another, and the Super-Galaxy Gurren Lagann body that spreads like a fractal tree is blurred and the eyes are blind.
Anti-Spiral standing there. He has the intelligence to recognise the Anti-Spiral potential, and the Spiral Power that can never escape from this multidimensional universe will not be activated. They're done.
 
Looking back through my various Gurren Lagann books again, I found something quite of interest regarding the storyboards we see in Work Soul. It seems to mention that the final battle of the movie does go to another universe when STTGL forms, mentioning the 'final universe' and how the black universe is filled with galaxies like plankton in the deep sea (I will need to have a human translator look at this further however).

I found it! I FINALLY FUCKING FOUND IT! I have at last found a complete version of the Gurren Lagann Otoko no Jouken audio drama online. I've downloaded it (just to be sure) and had a machine transcribe it. I'm still figuring out all the translations and making sure everything is accurate here regarding machine transcriptions of Japanese audio, but I've managed to already match up the part of it I've seen translated already, and holy fucking shit this has some big stuff in it!
https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1KT411R7JP/
9:39
This is where the translation of the previously translated part begins.

Simon: It's okay, Rossiu-san, I have a manuscript.

Rossiu: Heh?

Simon: I thought I'd make it my next serial, so I drew it in secret. Can you stop Gransebouya and use this instead?

Rossiu: You have a manuscript like that…?

Simon: Here, this is it.

Rossiu: …It starts with a war in space? It's about robots?

Simon: Yeah. The title is "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann"!

Rossiu: Gurren Lagann? That's…

Simon: Right! It's the robot we piloted! I'm basing this on those battles we fought back then. But it's a much bigger story! A timid, drill-loving boy escapes from an underground world, and finally, he gets to throw galaxies at the edge of the universe!

Rossiu: I don't think such a story would be well-received.

Simon: Don't say that! We won't know unless we try!

Garlock: That's exactly right. Let's teach them a little something– teach them exactly who they're facing!

Kittan: Who's voice is that?

Kiyal: Look at that!

Kiyoh: A human is coming out of the manuscript!

Kinon: I can't believe it…

Rossiu: But it's real…

Kittan: On top of that, doesn't he look a lot like Simon?

Kiyal: But he's wearing a cape or something, and he's got a really cocky attitude!

Garlock: Simon? I see…you're this world's Simon? You look like a really unreliable man to me.

Simon: Me? You're…me?

Rossiu: What does this mean?

Garlock: Now I see. You threw away your Core Drill and use your power with a pen instead. With your power that has the ability to create universes, you tied this world and my two-dimensional universe together.

Kittan: This guy…even though he's Simon, he sure says some complicated stuff!

Rossiu: Two-dimensional universe? You mean there are multiple universes?

Garlock: That's Rossiu for you! Even in this world, you're as quick to understand as your forehead is wide.

Rossiu: That's enough talk about my forehead… What are you planning to do?!

Garlock: Obviously, I'll do what I want. Because all the lights in the heavens are my enemy!

Rossiu: What /are/ you…?

Garlock: My name is Simon Avant! Now come, Softy Simon! I'll be taking your power!

Kittan: What?! He's got a Core Drill too!

Kiyoh: He stabbed Simon with it!

Simon: UWAAAAAAAAH!
Avant Simon's Black Gurren Lagann can transcend dimensions.

グレンラガン じゃ ねえ か。 それ も ただ の グレンラガン じゃ ない。 全身 黒光り し てる ぞ。 ああ。 たくましく て ちょっと 素敵。 異 次元 超越 ブラック グレンラガン。 まずは この 世界 で の 俺 の 力 試さ せ て もらお け。 行く ぜ! 橋 下 さん 今 の 声 シモン か ロッシー の 声 も し た ぞ。
Isn't it Gurren Lagann? It's not just Gurren Lagann either. His whole body is glowing black. ah. It's sturdy and a little nice. Different Dimension Transcendence Black Gurren Lagann. First, let me test my strength in this world. let's go! Mr. Hashimoto-san's current voice also sounded like Simon or Rossy's.
Otoko Simon ripping up his manuscript to the Granzeboma manga is the moment when the 2D universe linked with the Otoko universe, with Simon's manuscript becoming a gateway between dimensions.
20:33
巨大 化 は、 シモン が 原稿 を 破っ た 瞬間 と 君 が 元 に 戻っ た 時 が 一致 し た と すれ ば、 シモン の 漫画 原稿 が 現実 と リンク し た の かも しれ ない わ ね。
下 の 漫画 が 実体 化 し た って こと と。
いう より も、 彼 の 力 が 別 の 宇宙 の 扉 を 開い た シモン の 原稿 を ゲート と し た 2次元 宇宙 の パワー の 干渉 って こと やん かい 皆 さん。
If the moment when Simon tore the manuscript coincided with the moment when you returned to normal size, Simon's manga manuscript may have been linked to reality.
The manga below has become a reality.
More than that, his power opened the door to another universe. Isn't it an interference of the powers of the two-dimensional universe using Simon's manuscript as a gate?
Avant Simon can transcend the walls between dimensions (and seems to imply he'll go to yet another level).
29:10
ママ ママ な の? あの 赤い ロボット に 乗っ てる の? ああ そう。
だ よ。 大丈夫。 メメ が 心配 する こと は 何 も ない から。 ね。 ギガ ドリル。 ブレイク が 破れる と は。 どう だろ う? ジェノム。 これ が 次元 の 壁 を 突破 する 俺 の 力 だ。 そう か。 この 力 だ。 戦力 化。
Mum, is that you? Do you ride that red robot? Oh, yes.
Yes, it's okay. Don't worry. There's nothing for you to worry about. Right. Giga Drill. I don't think Blake can break it. What do you think? Genom. This is my power to break through dimensional walls. I see. I'll go to the next level. I'm going to use this power.
The truth of the Otoko universe is realised; the Otoko dimension is a dimension based off sound, where 'perceptions of sound' make up the world, with the sonic universe being comparable to a flat silver disc going round and round. This is in direct reference to how the Otoko series was originally released as a CD drama. This means that there are different universes with different laws of physics.
29:43
そう だ、 人間 が 滅多 な こと で は 出せ ん 力。 時に 火事場 の 馬鹿力 と も 言わ れる 限界 を 突破 し た 時 で は ない と。 出せ マックス パワー だ。 噂 に は 聞い て い た が、 実在 し た と は だ。 戦力 なんて 間抜け な 響き だ。 だ が 老 ジェノム 様 の いい 声 で 聞く と なんとなく 納得 し て しまう。 なるほど、 この 世界 で は そんな 名前 で 呼ば れ て いる の か だ。 戦力 で も 達成 力 で も なん でも いい。 この 力 が ある 限り 俺 に は かない こ ない ん だ よ。 貴様、 その 力 を 使っ て 何 を する? 決まっ てる。 点 も 次元 を 突破 する ん だ。 俺 の 2次元 宇宙 も、 貴様 等 の 音 次元 宇宙 も 超え て 神 の 肉体 を 持つ 音 次元 だ ぞ。 何 それ な ん だ! 貴様 ら 気づい て ない の か? ここ は 音 で 整理 する 次元 だ。 音 による 認識 が 世界 を 構成 し て いる ん だ。 あいつ は 何 を 言っ て ん だ? あんな 難しい こと を 言っ た の は 確か に 俺 たち が し たら 指紋 じゃ ない ぜ。 ああ、 そう か。 私 たち は ここ に 存在 し て いる。 でも それ は 音 だけ な の ね。 理論 じゃ 理解 し て いる の です か? なんとなく ね。 私 たち は 言葉 を 発する こと で イメージ する 言葉 と 実態 が イコール な 世界。 それ が 音 次元。 宇宙 を 口 に し た こと は 実在 する。 そう 思っ て おけ ば いい わ。 それで 俺 たち は こんなに よく しゃべる の か。 そういう こと ね。 そう だ、 この 音 次元 宇宙 は 平たい 銀盤 が ぐるぐる 回っ てる よう な もん だ。 この 世界 を ぶち壊す ため に ローゼ の 躯 にゃ お前 たち の 力 も いただく ぜ。 コア ドリル が 光っ てる の か。 この 世界 の シモン の 力 も 俺 の ため に 使わ れ て。 えっ と さ みっ て。
Yes, a power that man can only rarely exert. It is only when you push the limits of what is sometimes called "fire power" that you will find the power to do it. It's a power that can't be unleashed. I'd heard rumours about it, but I didn't know it was real. Power sounds stupid. But when I hear it in the good voice of old Genom-sama, I understand it somehow. I see, so that's what they call it in this world. It doesn't matter what it is, whether it's war power or attainment power. As long as you have this power, you will never be able to defeat me. What are you going to do with this power? It's obvious. I'm going to break through points and dimensions. It's a sound dimension in the flesh of a god, beyond my two-dimensional universe and your sound-dimensional universe. What is that? Have you not noticed? This is the dimension of organising by sound. This is the dimension of organising by sound, where perceptions by sound make up the world. What is he talking about? What is he talking about? I'm sure it wasn't our fingerprints that said that difficult thing. Oh, right. We exist here. But it's only sound. Do you understand it by theory? Somewhat. A world where the words we imagine by uttering words are equal to the reality. That is the sound dimension. What we say about the universe is real. That's what we should think. Is that why we talk so much? That's how it is, isn't it? Yes, this sonic universe is like a flat silver disc going round and round. To destroy this world, Rose's body will need your power too. Is that a core drill shining? Simon's power in this world is also being used for me. Eh, Michiko.
Avant Simon's Black Gurren Lagann absorbs Genomes Red Gurren Lagann.

黒い グレンラガン の ギガ ドリル が 輝い てる。 まるで 下 の コア ドリル の よう。

Gurren Lagann's black Giga Drill is shining. It's like a core drill below.
In Giga Drill Spin-on.
A drill was thrust into Gurren Lagann.
Genom's Gurren Lagann.
It becomes light and is absorbed. Roselle clear.
The black Gurren Lagann fuses with the red Gurren Lagann and remains black. Okay, remember it well. Mixing black and red also produces black. Be careful when using paint. Yes teacher. Don't be rude to teachers at times like this. And even though I'm not an art teacher. Virar. It's small. I'm Mei's homeroom teacher. So don't call out your daughter's name. Okay, let's go. Let's show off your batting lineup. Hmm. This fills your body with power. Minagitte Minagitte. It's too much.
The power of Otoko Simon's (?) voice gave Avant Simon power, and made spatial teleportation possible. Great Gurren Lagann is a super robot that realised the existence of dimensional interference waves. As the Otoko universe is a sound-dimensional universe, sound builds the world and thus a soulful voice increases the persuasive power of creating the world.
37:57
いや、 上 君 の 言う 通り だ。 君 の 声 が パワー を くれ た。 空間 転移 を 可能 に し て くれ た。 その 力 が なけれ ば、 いくら グレート グレンラガン で も 間に合わ なかっ た よ。 グレート グレンラガン そう だ、 次元 干渉 波 の 存在 に 気づき、 こんな こと も あろ う か と 製作 し て おい た スーパー ロボット だ。 黙っ て 聞い てりゃ 勝手 な こと を。 なん だ その ご都合主義 は。 ふざける な。 ご都合主義 で は ない。 これ が 我々 の 力 だ。 開き直る な。 開き直る。 強引 な 肯定 こそ 勝利 へ の 道 な の だ。 何 正しく この 世界 は 音 次元 宇宙 音 が 世界 を 構築 する だ から こそ、 魂 の こもっ た 声 が 世界 を 作る 説得 力 を 増す って こと か。 いや、 説得 で は ない。 有無 を 言わ せ ぬ 力ずく で 世界 を 納得 さ せる の だ。 これぞ 打線。 力 を 上回る 究極 の 声 力、 納得 力 な の だ。 よく わかん ねえ が、 声 の 大きい 方 が 勝つ って こと で いい ん だ な。 それ で いい。 さあ、 乗り込み たまえ。 一緒 に 我が 息子 の 指紋 を 取り戻そ う。
No, it's just as you said above. Your voice gave me power. It made spatial teleportation possible. Without that power, I wouldn't have been able to make it in time for Great Gurren Lagann. Great Gurren Lagann Yes, it's a super robot that realized the existence of dimensional interference waves and created it in case something like this could happen. If you just shut up and listen, you'll do whatever you want. What is that opportunism?
Do not be silly. It's not opportunism. This is our power. Don't open up. become defiant. Forceful affirmation is the path to victory. Is it true that this world is a sound-dimensional universe? Sound builds the world, and that is precisely why a soulful voice increases the persuasive power of creating the world. No, it's not persuasion. He convinces the world by force, without making anyone say yes or no. This is the batting line. It is the ultimate voice power and persuasion power that surpasses physical strength. I don't really understand, but I guess it's okay to say that the one with the loudest voice wins. That's fine. Now, get on board. Let's work together to recover my son's fingerprints.
The power of Simon/Kamina's (?) cry cuts through the heavens, twists space and time and pierces evil (due to a sound-based universe?).
39:12
彼 は いい 男 です よ。
魂 震わす 男 の 叫び、 天 を 切り裂き 悪 を 刺す 時間 空間 ねじ曲げ て。
俺 の 思い が 世界 を 作る 根源 超越 我と なら ん。
納得 力 だ と。 ふざける な。 でも さっき 脱線 力 の 説明 も ろう。 ジェノム 様 の 声 力 に 納得 さ せ られ た。
既に 敵 の 策 に 取り込ま れ てる わ よ。 どう しよ う。
そう だ グランゾ ボーマ に かなう 奴 は い ねぇ。 一瞬 に し て やっつけ て やる よ。
He's a good man.
A man's cry that shakes the soul, cuts through the heavens, pierces evil, and twists time and space.
My thoughts are the root of creating the world, and they are not like the transcendental me.
It's the power of persuasion. Do not be silly. But let me also explain the derailment force that I mentioned earlier. I was convinced by the power of Genom-sama's voice.
We've already been taken in by the enemy's plans. What should I do.
That's right, there's no one who can match Granzo Boma. I'll defeat it in an instant.
The Infinity Big Monster can twist the two forces (?) into 20 dimensions. It's also noted that 'not a single piece of DNA was destroyed by the inferno of the creation of the universe.'
41:00
戦力 プラス 納得 力 2つ の 力 を 20次元 に ねじ曲げ て 勝利 を 掴む ハゲ が 吠える 位 インフィニティ ビッグ モンスター な。 パワー だ。 宇宙 創 生 の 業火 に 焼か れ、 DNA の 1片 まで 完全 消滅 じゃ ない わ。 この ハゲ ヒゲ 胸毛 が どこ か で 聞い た よう な セリフ を 吐き おっ て だ が、 この 納得 力 は 半端 で は ない。 いけ ない。 この まま で は グレート グレンラガン が 焼き 尽くさ れる は。 上 の 野郎。 何 が 芽生 の 担任 だ。 大きな 口 ばかり 叩き や がっ て。
It's an Infinity Big Monster that can twist the two forces into 20 dimensions and grab victory, making the bald roar. It's power. Not even a single piece of DNA was completely destroyed by the inferno of the creation of the universe. This bald man with a beard and chest hair was spouting a line that sounded like he had heard it somewhere before, but it was far from convincing. should not. If things continue like this, the Great Gurren Lagann will be burnt to the ground. The bastard above. Who is Mei's homeroom teacher? Eventually, he started hitting me with a big mouth.
When Otoko Simon is freed from Avant Simon's core drill (or possibly the 2D universe), he reveals that Avant Simon never had a Kamina or Nia in his world to guide him, and he fought against everything in the universe by himself, and after fighting and fighting, came to the Otoko world because he had no one left to fight in his own universe. Thus does Otoko Simon rewrites the world so Avant Simon does meet with a bro.

こうして 俺 の 教師 1 日 目 は 終わっ て 大変 な 日 だっ た が、 まあ 俺 らしい 派手 な スタート だろ う。 ロシウ は なぜ か キノン に ひどく 叱ら れ て 反省 し た よう だ。 ヴィラル の 娘 の 芽生 も 元気 に 学校 に 通っ てる。 くろ にゃ も すっかり 落ち着い て いい 母親 に なっ てる。 ただ、 時々 どこ か に いる 老 ジェノム と 長電話 し てる よう だ。 また よから ぬ こと を 考え てる の かも しれ ねえ が、 その 時 は 俺 たち が 体 を 張っ て 止めれ ば いい。 たとえ ここ が 銀盤 に 封じ込め られ た 音 次元 だ として も、 住め ば 都 だ。 もしも あんた が 俺 たち の 宇宙 を 見つけ たら、 聞い て み て くれ。 きっと にぎやか に 暮らし てる の が わかる だろ う。 いつか どこ か で また 会お。 う。
Vidal, wake up! Chronica! You are Memu's mother. And it's my wife. My dream is to live in peace with Mei. Together with you, my wife. I would be willing to risk my life to protect it. Come on. It's time to redo the entrance ceremony. The name is waiting. yes. you. Are your fingerprints okay? a. Thank you bro. Dad. Simon. What happened to your bag? It disappeared. The impact from just now sealed me in a two-dimensional world. Really. It's better to stop reading manga. Also, it would be troublesome if the dimensional door opened. Yeah. I'll write. I found out why when I was sealed in his core drill. There was no big brother or garden in his world. He fought against everything in the universe all by himself. After fighting and fighting, I came to this world because I had no one to fight with in the other universe. Is it so? So let me rewrite it. Rewriting the world where big brother meets with a grin.
I want to teach that person too. That is the Tengen that I draw.
Breakthrough Gurren Lagann. Understood. You too have one serving.
It has become. On top of my sister.
Sorry for worrying you.
Viral's (?) first day as a teacher ends, and he says that even if he lives in a sound-based dimension in a silver disk, it's still where they life. He tells the listener if they find their universe to give it a listen.
48:20
こうして 俺 の 教師 1 日 目 は 終わっ て 大変 な 日 だっ た が、 まあ 俺 らしい 派手 な スタート だろ う。 ロシウ は なぜ か キノン に ひどく 叱ら れ て 反省 し た よう だ。 ヴィラル の 娘 の 芽生 も 元気 に 学校 に 通っ てる。 くろ にゃ も すっかり 落ち着い て いい 母親 に なっ てる。 ただ、 時々 どこ か に いる 老 ジェノム と 長電話 し てる よう だ。 また よから ぬ こと を 考え てる の かも しれ ねえ が、 その 時 は 俺 たち が 体 を 張っ て 止めれ ば いい。 たとえ ここ が 銀盤 に 封じ込め られ た 音 次元 だ として も、 住め ば 都 だ。 もしも あんた が 俺 たち の 宇宙 を 見つけ たら、 聞い て み て くれ。 きっと にぎやか に 暮らし てる の が わかる だろ う。 いつか どこ か で また 会お。 う。
And so my first day as a teacher ended.It was a tough day, but it was a spectacular start, typical of me. For some reason, Rosiu seems to have repented after being scolded so severely by Kinon. Villar's daughter Mei is also doing well at school. Kuronya has also calmed down and is becoming a good mother. However, it seems like he sometimes has long phone calls with an old Genom somewhere. He might be thinking of something else, but in that case, we just need to put our bodies on the line and stop him. Even if this is a sound dimension sealed in a silver disk, it is the capital to live in. If you find our universe, give it a listen. I'm sure you can see that they live a lively life. Let's meet again sometime, somewhere. cormorant.
There's still tons and tons I need to fix up with the translations, to check and double check to make sure everything is accurate and perfect, but to start, this gives us a good basic summary, and it's definately worth delving into more. There's also more with the Granze Boma threatening the Universe, Big Bang attacks and so-forth.
 
Some more feats from Otoko no Jouken! Avant Simon's Black Gurren Lagann becomes the Granzeboma.

熱く て たまらない。 で こうか で こう か。 見 て。 黒い グレンラガン が 巨大 化 し て いく。
どんどん どんどん でっかく。
なっ て いく。 デカ すぎる ぜ。 あれ は もう グレンラガン じゃ ない。 別 の 怪物 です。 その 通り。
これ は もう グレンラガン を 凌駕 する 絶対 的 存在。 暴走 する マシーン。 その 名 も グランデ ボーマ だ。 どう だろ う、 ジェノム。 お前 たち の 力 を 解放 し た 気持ち は? たまら ん な。 体 中 の 血 が 煮えたぎり。 まるで 胸毛 に 火 が 付い た よう だ よ。
破壊 し ましょ う。 この世 の 全て を。
I'm so hot, I can't stand it. Dekaso or dekaso? Look. The black Gurren Lagann is getting bigger and bigger.
It's getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
It's getting bigger and bigger. It's too big. That's not Gurren Lagann anymore. It's a different monster. That's right.
This is an absolute existence that surpasses Gurren Lagann. A machine that runs amok. It's also called Grande Boma. What do you think, Genom? How does it feel to have unleashed your power? It's unbelievable. My blood is boiling. It's like the hairs on my chest are on fire.
It's said that the heroes should have disconnected all other dimensions (or extra-dimensional space, as another translator reads). It also appears that someone will use space restoring powers to restore their world.
39:34

My thoughts create the world, the source of transcendence.
It's the power of conviction. You've got to be kidding me. But let me explain the power of derailment. I am the source of the world's creation, Transcendence.
I have already been taken in by the enemy's plan. I'm not sure what I should do.
The enemy is already in the grip of the enemy's strategy. I'm going to kill him in an instant.
I'm going to kill him in an instant! I'll take him out in an instant! I'm going to kill it in an instant.
I'm going to kill him in an instant. I'm going to use it to fight back. I'll take that as a challenge. Glass cutter. Outrageous. Giri. You did it, Granzo. I've got two bombers.
But no. I'll be right back.
What an idiot. I had expected for you to have disconnected each existing other-dimensional space. You're being naive. I have the fingerprints of this world in my core drill. With its power, space restoration would be a piece of cake. The power of fingerprints? Ha ha ha ha. Convincing power is interesting, but I am no match for super-power.
In what sounds like a gattai-sequence, the world is shaken by a cry that roars to the end of the universe.
44:01
甘い 夢見る 男 の 胸 に 灯っ た 思い が 世界 を 変える。 順番。 宇宙 の 果て まで も 轟く 叫び が 世界 を 揺らす。 全て の 想い を 一つ に 集め、 これ が 最後 の 男。
The thought that lights up the chest of a sweet, dreaming man changes the world.
The order. The world is shaken by the cry that roars to the end of the universe.
(Again, any help from anyone who can understand Japanese would be greatly appreciated...)

「キャラクター=Adoさんというわけではありませんが、歌い手のような1人のキャラクターを考え、そこから三位一体となって構成する3人のカラーバリエーションキャラクターをつくりました。3つが調和を取ることで、完成された人格になるのですが、理性と本能が"自己”を取り合うため、人格が2つの間で行ったり来たりしている。そういった様を物語として絵にしていこうと考えました」と、ビジュアルと構造を上手く落とし込みたかったという、構造論を基に説明してくれた。
Director Yoshinari, who actually visited Lotte's chocolate factory during production, said he got inspiration for the character from the three main ingredients in chocolate : cacao, sugar, and cocoa butter

. "The character doesn't necessarily have to be Ado-san, but I thought of one character like a singer, and then I created three color variation characters that make up a trinity. When the three are in harmony, they become a complete personality, but reason and instinct compete for the "self," so the personality goes back and forth between the two . I wanted to depict that as a story," he explained, based on structural theory, saying that he wanted to successfully incorporate visuals and structure.
The sugar cube robots are called Sugar Machines.
GAZENが担当したCGカットは、序盤でシュガーマシン(角砂糖型のロボット)が主人公を取り囲むカットと次の巨大ロボットのカット、チョコのトンネル、終盤の約17秒におよぶダンスのカットだ。
The CG scenes created by GAZEN include an early scene in which the sugar machines (sugar cube-shaped robots) surround the main character, followed by a shot of a giant robot, a chocolate tunnel, and a 17-second dance scene at the end.
 
I did it! I finally finished my Gurren Lagann respect thread on SB! I poured all of my heart and all of my soul into this over years to make it as accurate as possible with all relevant context!

Of course, if any new important information comes up (as of course fixing broken links), I will update the relevant pages of the thread accordingly. And of course, continue to post them here. It has been an incredible journey.
 
A reupload of several of the panels from the Gurren Lagann Otoko manga, which confirm the series is set in a different dimension.

This is...

A man who is still unaware of his destiny...

A man's fate to keep fighting...

A man who continues to search for his own path despite being betrayed by fate...

A battle ruled by the fate of the Universe that opens a hole in a man...

A story...

...What is another story in a different dimension.
 
At the end of the Otoko manga, Simon from the main timeline absorbs the Otoko timeline (temporarily, so as to defeat the Anti-Spiral).

This is...

The high school student who piloted Gurren Lagann and protected modern Japan, a man named Kamino Kamina...

A Multiverse story.

So I asked a friend who can speak Japanese, and he translated this (thanks bro)! The text can read as two ways; either that this is a multiversal story of Kamino Kamina, or this is a story of the multiverse of Kamino Kamina.
This is the multiversal story of Kamino Kamina, a high school student who piloted Guren Lagann and protected present day Japan.
This is the story of the multiverse of Kamino Kamina, a high school student who piloted Guren Lagann and protected present day Japan.
The original kanji is as follows...
神野神名という男の多元宇宙の物語
 
According to this thread, the galaxies = universes thing wasn't stated in Work Soul. I can't confirm because I can't find a JP pdf of Work Soul anywhere and the book is 70 dollars to order and 200 pages so no physical reading.

I still think galaxies = universes makes sense due to branes colliding creating a big bang

Yeah it doesn't really say that (something I've had to clear up myself, as I feel I'm responsible for this spreading around). There's still tons of multiversal feats in Gurren Lagann (even ignoring STTGL alltogether), and I'm still hoping to find more info on the Super Giga Drills (maybe I will track down the DVD commentaries)...

BTW, do you have any opinions on the Otoko stuff please?

the Otoko is that TTGL spinoff right? IDK much about trigger beyond TTGL. It's impressive but sadly noncanon I assume.

As for the galaxies = universes thing, it's moreso if each universe is a quantum multiverse like the main one, that means it's a megaversal feat. I think you can still argue megaversal due to the fact that STTGL is infinitely above TTGL in the final drill clash, but yeah.

It's canon in the Multiverse, and at the end of the manga we see Simon from the main timeline (though the manga adapts the first three arcs, the novels confirm this is across time as well as space; Nakashima also refers to Otoko as an important part of the Gurren Lagann multiverse, which I'll post here in the near future).

Gurren Lagann is already a megaverse too, as there's reference to different multiverses for different observers (something that's come through in the English translations of the Gurren Lagann Archive too), on top of all the quantum stuff.
 
From the last volume of the manga, Kazuki Nakashima describes Gurren Lagann Otoko as being 'an important part of the Gurren Lagann multiverse.'

And without a doubt, this has also become an important work that makes up the Gurren Lagann multiverse.
